Brickyard Coffee & Tea

Stumbled upon this while trying to get to the waterside from the Westin Gaslamp Quarter. The walk is 10-15 minutes but the coffee is worth an hour walk. Love this little place in a seemingly historic building. Take the trolley to Seaport Village stop if you are able too. Worth the cost of a trip. Try the Spanish Latte!

While visiting San Diego, we thought we would give this place a try. Terrible decision! Ordered lattes, breakfast burrito, and breakfast bake (no crust quiche). Lattes were more steamed milk than coffee...worst I've had. Breakfast burrito was warmed up so hot that the tortilla had become brittle. Couldn't touch it for at least 10 minutes! Breakfast bake was just disgusting...runny, coagulated cheese, weird tomato slices on top...not a pleasant dish to start the day. Service was ok...not friendly but not unfriendly...just there.

Go to Copa Vida!!! Should have walked the extra blocks instead of the Brickyard.

Cute cafe! Good food, friendly staff, big outdoor seating area. A nice place to come in the mornings to drink hot tea and catch up on some reading or work. I love their acai bowls!

After waiting 20 minutes for a jalapeño bagel, I went up to counter to inquire and was told the cook couldn't find the order number it belonged to. I was handed a bag (though ordered for here) and when I reached inside to pull out the bagel, it was ice cold. I told the gentleman, and he proceeded to argue with me about saying he made it 5 minutes ago so it couldn't be cold. I told him to see for himself, so he grabbed it out of my hands and tossed it in the trash.

At this point another employee stepped in and said she would remake it, which she did, but was wrong flavor. When I pointed this out, she said they were out of the jalapeño bagels, so I could take it or leave it.

As you can see from the other reviews, this is not a 5 star establishment.

Cute cafe in the heart of San Diego, just North of the Grand Hyatt and Seaport Village.

The menu are a little overpriced for its quality, but that gap helps to keep the seating fairly open, even on weekends.

I have been to the Brickyard several times over the years and always enjoyed the food, location, and ambiance. I was very disappointed in my experience today and do not plan to go back.

I went to the Brickyard for lunch with a friend who lives downtown. I ordered a vegetable panini, which I had ordered the last time I visited the Brickyard and enjoyed a great deal then.

Not only was the woman who took my order surly and unfriendly, the sandwich was frankly a joke. It was supposed to include tomato, mushroom, hummus, cucumber, onion, and jack on panini bread. It was served on sourdough bread, with sundried tomatoes, unidentifiable vegetables, and gobs of goat cheese. It was awful. Normally, I would have made a stink about it but I had limited time with my friend and, of course, I had already paid for the sandwich.

It is really a shame to see what used to be such a good restaurant go downhill like this. I don't know what the owner is thinking but this location deserves owners who take pride in their work and in making their customers happy.

I really enjoy this spot. They have a smaller menu, use cafe moto coffee and on ocassion in the afternoons have a performer. The staff are amazing and will always greet you with a smile and a conversation. I love relaxing here!

The food is delicious, the coffee is good, and the price is low. Win, win, win.

Very cool place , small eclectic coffee shop with interesting choices for breakfast but all of them were good. I went here almost everyday when I was staying at the Hyatt. Try the bagel pesto, very good and unique.

Whenever I am down by the marina I make sure I stop by Brickyard and get one of their iced lattes. It is 10 times better than Starbucks, and less expensive. The baristas are always friendly and it usually isnt too busy unless it is early in the morning.
