Absolutely incredible coffee shop in the heart of Solana Beach. Great to grab before a beach day or a nice beach walk. Love their iced lattes.

Smack dab in SD, and right on the corner, is, well, an awesome corner coffee shop. The barista knew the coffees well, and I’m thankful for that because I like to ask questions about coffee and what’s popular etc. This store had pour over, espresso, drip, you name it, and an extensive food menu. Parking can be tricky as it is right in Downtown SD, but we’ll worth visiting for a quality cup of coffee made by people who care about the coffee.

Tasty coffee and good, affordable eats. All locally roasted. Cold brew nitro shouldn’t be served with ice though.

Decent coffee but rude barista and poor service. Took 15 minutes give or take to make a pour over covfefe that was already lukewarm when served (of course I let it cool down to taste it better, but it should be served hot). I inquired about the restroom (I really, really needed to pee) and the barista told me with a smirk and with no apologies that it was out of order (the sign on the door looks rather permanent, so I'm not so sure it's true). I was embarrassed for them as they didn't apologize nor offer to let me use the employees restroom. I didn't ask to not be rude myself. After asking if she knew if there were any bathrooms in the area, the barista was unhelpful nor sympathetic to my issue. Had to go around the block hunting for a restroom and found one in a hotel nearby they let me use and came back 5-10 minutes later with the covfefe I ordered still not ready (had to wait 5 more minutes at least, although generally it takes 5 minutes max for a pour over with Chemex of V60, including the manual grinding of the beans). Also, they don't have wi-fi, which is borderline criminal for a coffee place. I doubt I will come back.

Staying downtown in San Diego. Was looking for a healthy breakfast and great coffee and found it right across the road from my hotel! Totally cool staff and real barista coffee.

Stood in line for 10 minutes to have a “regular” come up and cut us in line. The person at the register didn’t say anything and continued to take her order. Horrible customer service

I ordered one of their Concoctions called The Finest City which has vanilla and cinnamon. It was hot out, so I ordered it iced. The flavor profile was slightly (read: not very, in a good way) sweet and very creamy. A tad too creamy for my tastes; I think I'd order a cold brew next time. But it exuded quality.

So I stopped by this coffee shop for coffee because I was driving buy and the curb appeal caught my eye. I passed it so I reversed 50 to 100 yards and parked behind an F150 that was parked in Front of the store. I got out of my car, dropped my black and mild on the sidewalk and started to stand in line. The double doors were open and I was the only customer that did not cross the threshold of the doorway.There were about 4 to 5 customers waiting to order in front of me,not including an extremely dirty shirtless and shoeless guy in the store in which the employee in question gave him a water cup it appeared. The homeless man thanked the employee and left with his water cup no problems.I thought she was pretty nice for that.(at that moment). The pace of the employees reflected the 0740 time of day and the line was long so I decided to return to my black and mild smoking until the line progressed. I returned to my car to to check my phone my music was playing on low as I had left my car running because it was directly in front of the building. I closed my passenger car door after checking my phone, turned around and continued smoking as I monitored the line. I noticed an Asian man working on his laptop outside the shop as he drank his coffee. Moments later I noticed an Asian older lady approaching the coffee shop and line, so I stepped closer to the door to indicate I was as wanting to purchase coffee. The Asian lady acknowledged me being in line and kind of laid back instead of cutting me in line. Prior to that there was a white lady who instead of acknowledging my presence outside the door she walked right passed me to place herself at the threshold of the door. It wasnt a big deal so I didnt mention it but that is why I made sure the next person know I was iwalked around in a circle a few time then noticed the Asian lady lite a cigarette and walked a few yards away from were I was standing. I thought to myself " she didnt even want a cigarette, she just sa

An amazing coffee house in San Diego downtown! Baristas are very friendly with a beautiful attitude. Great menu with sandwiches in addition to classical pastries. I recommend egg sandwich (with multi-grain toast). Their cappucino is also really nice and strong! The tables in front of the cafe are nice to sit and enjoy food and drinks. Many locals come to this place, so vibe is almost always great!
