Zumbar Coffee & Tea

Amazing coffee with nice pastries. Even the drip coffee is great. Try that first as a sample and then move on to something bolder. Never need an extra shot coffee is strong enough. Busy early morning so get their early.

Hummingbird espresso is roasted very dark by modern standards. There's really no middle flavor profile to the shot - just the sweet and the bitter. Pulls quite thin. Maybe it's good with milk, but that's not my bag. Super dark roast seems to be a San Diego thing....

Great coffee but they only offer 1 size and that itty-bitty cup just doesn't cut it. But more troubling is there penchant for delivering customer orders out of sequence. If I wait in a long line, place my order and then see people behind me get their "hand crafted" beverage before me...that's a problem that will stop me from returning.

Local roaster with very consistent quality of beans and roast. Their Hummingbird roast works great for me (for espresso). In house, I like their French Press more than their espresso. Very popular most of the day.

Great coffee and fast service. Always friendly smiles. The menu is limited but should be plenty to fill your coffee needs. They have light food options. Also coffee is available for sale. Love doing here in my way into work. Conveniently located near the 5 exit/entrance

Workers kinda suck, more like sad emos rather than happy hipsters... but coffee's awesome so I'll keep on harassing them lol

The coffee is GREAT if you can get past the hipsters staring at you. This place is clean but small, with limited seating inside and outside. It's great for people who have discriminating taste in tea, coffee and espresso.

Their cold brew is amazing! Nothing needs to be added. Fragrant with a hint of vanilla. Seriously, life changing. Their soy latte is also perfect, I literally do not add anything. Must try. I wish it was closer to where I work so walking would be an option.

Some of the best coffee in SD. Small, so my ONLY gripe would be the lack of seating...but that's hardly their fault. Just a matter of storefront space. If you're planning on ordering and going...this is the spot in Sorrento Valley!

Just started a new job down the street from here and Zumbar was highly recommended as the place to get a daily caffeine fix. The parking lot is cramped since it's sharing space with 6 and the coffee shop itself has indoor seating for ~10 and outdoor seating for ~8. Even though this place might seem small, their selection is more than enough for coffee cravers. They have your staple coffee, mocha, espress, cappuccino and they also have cold brew and bottles of cold brew which are a plus for me.

Next time I'm here I'm getting a bottle or two of cold brew coffee and grabbing some of their delicious croissants.
