The Coffee Method

My favorite spot to get coffee in OB. The staff is always super friendly and the coffee super tasty. Grab some and walk to the beach. Couldn’t be any better.

During vacation in OB I came to love this little flower & coffee shop combo. The service was excellent, coffee top notch, and the ambiance was relaxed and comfortable.

The Coffee Method has some of the best coffee in San Diego. If you want a quality cup of coffee or coffee-drink, come here and you will not be disappointed.

No frills, no strawberry mochacinnos, no dollar menu specials. The comparative drawbacks of this place are those of choosing fresh squeezed orange juice over orange soda: it often takes longer to make and is more expensive.

Another thing is that they are super clean and meticulous about everything: weighing exact amount of beans for each pour over, sampling every batch of ice coffee, and washing every piece of equipment with almost OCD-like frequency. The guy who owns the place might not greet you with a smile or actively listen to your complaining about the weather, but he will make sure your coffee is good.

This place is great if you like quality coffee. The shop owner Robert is very knowledgable about coffee and makes very good french press or pour over cup of joe. Highly recommend.

Coffee was decent but due to covid-19 it's a little difficult to read the menu and know what you want without making other people wait for you. Wish they posted a menu outside the line.

Decent coffee. Got there at 8 am and their pastries including the almond croissant I had seemed old. The staff was super friendly tho!

The coffee was ok but the service put me off. When I asked for clarification on prices on the product I was mocked by the barista who offered to charge me more if I liked. It was apparently funny on his end, but it's not funny for the customer and made me feel uneasy. I wouldn't care to go back for that.

First time trying this place. Will go back and give this place another try. Barista seemed annoyed and stressed so my coffee was "just okay". I don't like "just okay" coffee.

This is a great little cafe in OB. Very friendly people and good drinks. Good place to chat with a friend or get some work done in the outside area (free good wifi!).

Visiting family and this coffee shop in walking distance. What a cute shop and the young gal was so sweet and kind. Had an amazing Lavender latte!!
