Heartwork Coffee Bar

Super friendly staff and quick service! This place was outdoor only, but they seemed to have a decent selection of seats. I got the coconut cream tea latte and it was pretty good, not sweet at all, which was unexpected but probably for the best lol I do not need regular latte levels of sugar in my life

Delicious coffee. Made by baristas who know what they're doing, tasty whether you get a cappuccino or a cold brew. My favorite local roaster in San Diego. Was buying only Heart roasters beans for the last few years (bougie, I know...), but Heartwork is my new go-to. They also have cute merch, and the shop has a nice sense of community. Neighborhood tip: on Saturday mornings, there are tacos by Chicano Soul Food parked on the sidewalk out front. Amazing tacos - tortillas made to order, vegan, meat and egg options.

Excellent menu featuring a wide variety of coffee and non-coffee beverages - my favorite is the Chai, made in-house (no store bought concentrates here!) The care that goes into their product is something you don't find every day. They feature a rotating selection of coffee from niche roasters such as Onyx, based out of Arkansas. There is always a nice selection of treats to go with your drink, all made locally, so they're always fresh. There are vegan options here as well, with multiple dairy-alternatives for your beverage (my favorite is the Oat milk! Seriously, try it!) Sam, Ben, Crystal, Riley, Jen and the whole crew are always friendly and fun to chat with. If you know anything about the SoCal music scene or you're into hardcore/punk/metal, you may even run into some familiar faces here... 10/10 I plan on supporting and visiting Heartwork, any and every chance I get.
