Turquoise Cellars

Turquoise Coffee is hands down my favorite cafe in Pacific Beach. Not to be confused with another cafe that also has Turquoise in the name, this one is located on Cass Street in North Pacific Beach. Coffee shop by day, it turns into a nice wine bar (with a few beers on tap) with great food at night. I've been coming here for the past year and compared to other local coffee shops, the service here is by far the very best. The girls are outstanding. The atmosphere is very laid back. Especially during the day - don't be surprised to see a few four-legged pets around at all times. The food is consistently good. I'm no coffee expert, but I work from home and like to get out of the house. My favorite thing to do is work in the early afternoon, wait for the transition, and have an early happy hour glass of wine with business partners or friends. The evening Manager, Rafael, is on top of everything, all the time. Kudos to him and the team for making this one of my favorite spots in PB.

I love this place. It is really small and cozy -- a great place for happy hour. Really lively, but not too packed. The wine menu is pretty extensive, but there's something for everyone. I also highly recommend the trio of sliders -- delicious. I think the beef/steak one was the best. Will come back, for sure!

I love this little PB beach vibe cafe for both people watching and getting work done. The food is tasty but limited but coffee and other drinks are favorites. I always go for the acai bowl and an iced coffee drink. They are super dog friendly and parking is usually not hard to find in the area. There is always new art on the walls, rotating frequently and at night it becomes a beer & wine bar. Highly recommended. But then you'll just make the line even longer!

Over all it's a nice little spot. The baristas aren't very nice or very helpful. When I first go to a new coffee shop I like to ask a lot of questions, because very little cafe has their own drinks, specialties, local favorites, and products. I've tried to ask questions before and they are all very short and don't really explain anything. I actually felt like I was irritating them and they came off rude and cold. I've gone a dozen times there, I always have gotten the same encounter and I even tip just to hope they will remember me and be more friendly.... didn't work. They do have some good for selections and I've never gone when it switched to the night bar. Heard the food was good, maybe the service will change at night as well, I'll have to check and see. Although I'm not hopeful. I know they are remodeling now so hopefully when they reopen, they will switch up their customer service as well. Across the street, on the same side of the road is Cafe Java Earth. They have a way better selection of food and drinks and The baristas are so much more friendly(not as friendly as corporate Starbucks, but definitely more helpful and more friendly than Turquoise) Going there from now on. Through my many questions I found the Cafe Vanilla w almond milk and I add mint leaves.
