This place has nice vibe, super friendly owner! And the coffee is the best!
Good coffee but $6.50 for 14 oz (not even a grande 16) is pretty steep.
Truly, a Gem of a Coffee Experience. Genuine every time, and don’t waste time. 9/10 times if the shop is empty, they will be keeping it clean and classy.
This is a very cute and crisp coffee shop near the intersection of Euclid and El Cajon Blvd. near Talmadge. The staff were so personable and easygoing! The americano and honey latte my friend and I had were both so tasty. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. Definitely worth trying out!
There's nothing special about this place. The coffee is good, but there aren't any unique things about it, parking is dreadful and there usually only one person working.
Stoked to discover this spot wandering the neighborhood with a friend. I immediately noticed they brew Coava which is one of the best roasters out there imo. The drinks were quite good and high quality - the cold brew was refreshing and perfect black and my friend loved her “authentic” matcha latte. Our barista was super friendly and knowledgeable, she is clearly passionate about her space and the surrounding community. Gotta appreciate special gems like this!
The staff is amazing and the coffee is delicious. I love the focus on the actual coffee. The blend is made specifically for GEM and it is such a great one. If you are a true coffee person, you will love it. My favorite drinks are the lattes. I recently tried their sandwiches and they are sooo good!!
Small coffee shop, but filled with a lot of positive energy with the decor. Coffee is always on point, and everyone that works there is always friendly and magicians with there craft. Only downside is the portion size, but it’s quality over quantity.
This place is great! Coffee is delicious and the owner is super super nice.
Friendly staff and the rosemary & cinnamon latte is very good
Really good tea lattes - super hard to find places that do chai well. Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere, very clean. Will definitely be back!
If you enjoy pure coffee, then Gem Coffee SD is a must to visit. Ceci is a great barista that brings a great attitude to your experience but the homemade syrups used are phenomenal. Would recommend the vanilla latte
Gem is terrific locally owned women business. They offer Coava Coffee Roast and locally baked goods. They offer a small amount of inside and outside seating. The coffee shop is super dog friendly. I normally go for their Cortado or Lattes. Depending on my mood. I've never had a bad coffee from the place.
Good lattes and great service. Awesome little spot!
Coffee was amazing! Definitely recommend the vanilla coffee. Staff was great! We love a Latina owned business too.
Literally a hidden Gem I’m San Diego! Definitely must visit this coffee shop when you’re in SD. Drinks are sooo delicious specially the iced lavender latte. Staff is so warm and welcoming. Nice place to sit and relax get some work done.
Very cute space run by a great team. Staff is always very pleasant and welcoming. I stop by at least once a week if not more.
Great service and coffee! Woman that helped me was very friendly and helpful.
Love their oat chai!! Delish!!
Thanks for the coffee and positive energy Briana!
