Holsem Coffee

I’ve come here many times over the past few years, and will be back many more. holsem has magnificent well roasted coffee, delicious espresso, and the most gourmet flavor combos in their lattes/cappuccinos. My go to is the single origin (!!!) cold brew, of which there are usually multiple varieties, perfectly extracted every time. The latte art is always impressive, the breakfast food and pastries are always magnificent. They are the best coffee-makers in San Diego.

Chic, clean and inviting coffee shop with plenty of seating. The friendly barista recommended the Turmeric Ginger Tea and I ordered it although a little skeptical of how turmeric would taste in tea. Pleasant surprise as it was delicious and just the right balance of turmeric and hints of ginger. My friend had the rose dusted latte which she enjoyed. The location was good to walk around and there was outdoor seating as well. Clean bathrooms

L'orange cappuccino was out of the world amazing. It sure had the hint of orange flavor-subtle and not over powerful, just enough to give it a kick. Pastries were all fresh. Service was fast. Wonderful friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend the L’orange cappuccino. I wouldn’t have imagined the orange and coffee flavors would pair well together but you’d be surprised! Great spot to get your laptop/book and work at/read. I also had a slice of the lemon poppy cake and love it! Great spot to check out if you’re looking for something in North park.

Great location, friendly service and awesome baristas. Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Coffee is great but not a 5/5 for me personally. Biggest issue for my personal taste is grittiness, many of the flavors that are ground (ground cinnamon, etc.) aren't fully incorporated into the beverage leaving a little bit of flavor sludge at the bottom of the cup. Overall really good though, definitely worth your time to try it out for yourself.

Absolutely love. The Rose Dusted vanilla latte is AMAZING. The açaí bowl was one of the best, it’s smooth and creamy. They melt their peanut butter on top which is a game changer opposed to a cold thick dollop like most. Avocado toast & peanut banana toast were also great.

Holsem. A coffee shop for the people. The individuals working behind the counter are less like employees, and feel like family. Mostly drawing upon a youthful crowd, dogs are welcome, the interior adorably decorated, and the coffee is scrumptious. Do yourself a favor, pay this wholesome spot a visit.

Cozy place with 80Mbps WiFi and street parking. There are power outlets at every table so you don't have to worry about where you sit. The servers are friendly and the drink menu is decent. I ordered the Cinnamon Swirl Mocha and it was pretty good, and the drink came in this pretty fancy cup which was pretty cool.

Holsem offers creative original lattes at a reasonable price point.

The seating area is large enough to accommodate most people even on busy weekends, and the craziest part: almost every table has access to a power outlet.

Ambient music included some fun early 2000s and 2010s pop and hip-hop remixes which added to the enjoyment. Who doesn't like drinking coffee while listening to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air intro?

Not a bad coffee shop. Espresso and cookie is good for under $7. Atmosphere is good but can be tight especially if it's raining outside. Overall a good experience.
