I cannot tell you how impressed I am with this place. It is one of the first places in San Diego where I can get consistent quality. The couple that owns and runs the place are awesome. They care about their craft and strive for perfection everytime while still delivering it speedily. Hands down the best coffee shop I have been to in San Diego. Thank you for keeping your standards high everyday. Make sure you try this place and support fellow locals.
If you're looking for a coffee place that really cares about the craft of brewing great coffee and espresso, without the snobbery, come to Bean Bar. The staff is super friendly and the coffee is the best around.

10/2023 update: Changing this star rating from my original rating to five stars. I’m so glad I went back here because it must have been an off day the first time I had visited. I haven’t tried the Vietnamese Iced Coffee again but their signature drink, The Kingslayer, is A-MAY-ZING. I get it iced and it’s super refreshing and tasty. Also, since I’ve returned I’ve found that the service level here is much better and there are typically two employees which helps matters immensely. One of my favorite coffee shops now.
First time trying Hob Coffee East Village which is a super cute coffee shop on the corner of K and 11th near Petco Park. They only had one employee working which made wait times a bit long since she had to take orders and then make drinks but she was doing her best. Thankfully it wasn’t super busy or I don’t think we would have waited. Inside they have plenty of seating and sell various items related to Hob Coffee with City Connect Padres colors.
We ordered the Vietnamese Iced Coffees today which, according to their menu, is four espresso shots poured over ice and condensed milk in a 16oz cup. Unfortunately the sweetness of the condensed milk couldn’t overcome the burnt taste of the espresso in these drinks. I really wanted to like them. I don’t know if the fact that there was only one person working contributed to poor espresso making because she felt rushed or if the beans were just not of good quality but we couldn’t even drink all of it.
I’m giving three stars based on the cute location and vibe as well as the kindness of the barista but I don’t think that I would order an espresso here again. If we hadn’t take the drinks to go we might have asked them to make us something else.
Small coffee shop that has interesting flavored coffee. Being a nerd I just got a standard dark roast with 2 shots and it was STRONG. The PB Banana Honey toast was good and definitely recommend it if you like a sweet breakfast that isn’t chocolate-related. Right up the road from the San Diego Convention Center and next to the Padres’ stadium so easy walking distance from those spots.
Terrific neighborhood coffee shop. The Vietnamese iced coffee was fantastic! I also ordered the avocado toast which was fantastic. The avocado was fresh and ripe. The goat cheese and pickled onion are a perfect compliment and pairing. The staff was very helpful. Nice space to do some work on my laptop. I wish I could give more stars!
A nice coffee place in Downtown San Diego.
Food: Some breakfast option, croisants
I tried Almond Croissant which was nice.
Cortado is worth trying.
Service: good and friendly
Atmosphere: clean and quit place. Enough seating.
Everything was amazing 👏🏻👏🏻 I got a vanilla latte with an extra shot and my husband got a quad shot with milk and vanilla, both drinks were super smooth and delicious. We especially loved the avocado toast with pickled onions and goat cheese, I order scrambled eggs to pair with mine and they were fresh and flavorful. This is now one of our favorite breakfast places!
Excellent espresso! I had the oats too and they were delicious

I have now gone back three days in a row and got the avocado toast with poached egg...delicious!
Bean bar is a place that you must stop if you are in San Diego it's a fabulous Cafe and we've been going here for years. Quality is one of the things that comes to mind. The staff is super friendly and helpful and there are many options to choose from here.
Very personal experience the barista treated me like we were bestfriends. The coffee is to die for and the pastries and oatmeal were amazing. Vegan options are actually pretty great. Indoor and Outdoor dining. Non Gendered restroom is for customers only.
Cute coffee shop, located right on the corner in the east village. Great ambience. The sweetest, friendly staff. This young lady was extremely outgoing and patience. It was our 1st time there. We ordered the hot cookie latte topped with a wafer and an iced vanilla latte both with extra shots of espresso. Drinks were good. Great quality coffee beans… a nice toast. Only con- all sizes come with 2 shots, so the only difference is paying for extra milk. Otherwise, positive experience. Average pricing. Next time, I’m trying to Vietnamese.
Awesome coffee shop that knows what they're doing. The owner was very friendly and accommodating and made our experience so enjoyable. Coffee is great and the shop is charming. Would highly recommend going if you actually want good coffee.
