Portside Coffee & Gelato

Best view to sip a coffee and definitely one of the best prices for a cup.
After viewing many dishes being served, definitely will be back for a meal... eyeing up the bacon cheese burger!

I'm killing time before I have to catch my flight back to Chicago, and this place already made my day. I ordered a latte, and somehow it's the best I've ever had. ...I don't know how, but I wouldn't mention it if it were not remarkable.
I also ordered the Lox Lover (it's called something like that) on an everything bagel. If you like lox (smoked salmon), get it. It's delicious, with a generous portion, fresh greens and tomato.

Based on a Sunday visit during opening week to try this new cafe location, it's a good place to get caffe affogato. You will be happy to discover a selection of bakery items to go with the coffee. The almond pastry is superb! There is no awning over the order window and the summer sun can be intense, fortunately the wait is not too long.

The classic shaken cold brew is perfect, and my boyfriend loves the sausage sandwich. It comes with the yummiest aioli. Great spot for coffee dates when there is open seating upstairs.

Best coffee shop in or near downtown SD... and the view is a killer!

What a great way to start the morning! This amazing little gem!!! Coffee was 👍🏻 & breakfast burrito was 😊

Pretty decent house brew! A little pricey for coffee. Service was good and very quick! Nice place to try if you want to relax along the water! Parking is pretty bad but it’s the city so I definitely anticipated that!

We walk past the construction site of Portside for the last few months and we're impressed they built it so quick!

The entire place has been packed so you're going to be queuing up for a short while to get into any of the sit down spots. If you're looking for a quick sweet tooth or caffeine fix, Portside Coffee is an easy grab and go without the long lines at Ketch and all the other Brigantine chain joints here.

They've got some interesting flavors of gelato and being apple pie fans, we opted for their apple pie infused ice cream. Though it wasn't as creamy as we'd like it to be (they may have froze it for too long as it was more sorbet-ish), it hit the spot on a sunny day.

They've got the normal fare of coffee joint options such as cappuccinos and normal drip coffee. Nothing to rant and rave about but if you're looking for a quick caffeine fix and are strolling down Harbor Dr, it's a quick and easy fix without having to trek into Little Italy (though coffee is much better there).

Paid for a medium iced americano, was given a small, and when I politely pointed it out she made a show of pouring the coffee into a bigger cup with ice water to fill up the space. Come on.

Was great, enjoyed my breakfast Burrito and Mocha. Was pretty warm under the glass but what a beautiful place for breakfast.
