Another coffee stop on our list! We had the orange blossom latte and the Ethiopia Gedeb Flash Brew (iced pour over). Delicious and glad we stopped here!

Fantastic espresso and love the assortment of beans available. I’d say drip and pour-over were good not great, didn’t feel quite as well-done as the espresso.

Stopped in for a quick coffee and was blown away by the staff! They even convinced the husband to try a new drink and he’s not much for coffee. Will be back for sure!

Matcha latte is great, coffe is great. Depending on who is preparing it can take a while though, but it’s one of the best matcha in the neighborhood.

The rosemary & brown sugar seasonal latte is a banger.

I have never had a Batista be anything other than delightful here. Their coffee has been a mainstay for me since they opened years ago, and I love the coffee subscription. Their cold brew is unrivaled.

Truly a gem in San Diego. This is one of a couple real specialty or third wave shops. The baristas here really take care in their craft and make sure you have a great experience. Extremely knowledgeable about the coffees they serve. Looking forward to recommending this place and coming back for more well extracted beans.

This cappuccino. I lived in Sydney, Australia for 3 years and have missed that coffee culture immensely being in the US. This cappuccino gave me a piece of Sydney. Not to mention that latte art. 10/10 taste & presentation. Really friendly barista.

I just had the most delicious cup of pour over coffee at Coffee and Tea Collective this morning. Served at the perfect temperature, it was flavorful and nuanced, a beautiful, balanced, delicious cup of coffee.

Good ambience and great food. My buddy purchased hot chocolate and I ordered cold brew milk which I find great. I had a little bit of sip of what he purchased and think it is typical. I truly loved my visit here. I will probably come back.

The coffee is wonderful. The shop has a good ambiance. Coffee is always Full bodied and Strong. Service is always friendly. Bought a whole bean bag for home ☕️ too. Last time we went here for a coffee I got a cappuccino and my wife got a latte. Some places (ahem Starbucks) don’t make strong and tasty coffee. This place does. The cappuccino was bold and perfectly frothed. Got me wired for the day ahead! The pastry 🥐 we had was a handmade toaster strudel (egg and bacon). They don’t make the pastries but get them from some A+ shops. This particular prime piece of pastry perfection was from the bakery pop up Freshman Year. Why is the pastry selection important? Because anyone who has a coffee shop of quality knows that the coffee must be paired with a little bite for maximum impact. These shopkeepers / baristas know this, and hit the mark on their delicious coffee and their simple yet superb pastry offerings. Great coffee, service, pastries, and ambiance. Keep up the great work!

This is my happy place. I come here on most mornings for a freakin delicious vanilla latte. The baristas are kind, friendly and attentive. I’m actually going to miss their faces when I move next month. The atmosphere is divine with gorgeous rotating art installations. I’ve tried all the coffee shops in this neighborhood and these guys take the cake. Thanks for all the lovely coffee experiences Coffee & Tea Collective.♥️ ☕️ 🧠🌈🌦
