Achilles Coffee Roasters On Cortez Hill

Smack dab in SD, and right on the corner, is, well, an awesome corner coffee shop. The barista knew the coffees well, and I’m thankful for that because I like to ask questions about coffee and what’s popular etc. This store had pour over, espresso, drip, you name it, and an extensive food menu. Parking can be tricky as it is right in Downtown SD, but we’ll worth visiting for a quality cup of coffee made by people who care about the coffee.

I ordered one of their Concoctions called The Finest City which has vanilla and cinnamon. It was hot out, so I ordered it iced. The flavor profile was slightly (read: not very, in a good way) sweet and very creamy. A tad too creamy for my tastes; I think I'd order a cold brew next time. But it exuded quality.

An amazing coffee house in San Diego downtown! Baristas are very friendly with a beautiful attitude. Great menu with sandwiches in addition to classical pastries. I recommend egg sandwich (with multi-grain toast). Their cappucino is also really nice and strong! The tables in front of the cafe are nice to sit and enjoy food and drinks. Many locals come to this place, so vibe is almost always great!

Small coffee shop on Cortez Hill serves up excellent coffee and light breakfast mills. I stopped by one early morning and had a great experience. coffee was on point, breakfast sandwich was made to order, therefore very fresh and indeed delicious. It's a small space, but there are few seatings outside.

This is a gem of a place! Delicious coffee which they roast themselves - I recommend the dark roast. They can also make fancy coffee drinks like lattes and such, and I overheard another customer raving about the latte art. They also have a robust breakfast/lunch menu with a wide variety of sandwiches. We went two days in a row and I can attest the lox is good, and the sandwiches on the pretzel buns are tasty - try the fig jam! They are also dog-friendly, allowing dogs in the shop with treats at the counter. Highly recommend!
