So beautiful and just like the reviews! It was so serene and nice. The man working was so kind and made sure the food and latte were perfect 👌. The iced latte I ordered was so creamy and not super sweet, and paired wonderfully with the butter croissant. 10/10, absolutely amazing and would recommend.

This is a review for the coffee snobs (like me). I tasted coffees from Mexico, Ecuador and Bolivia today brewed by a passionate artisan and it enlivened my entire day. At first blush you assume maybe you’re walking into the regular office park coffee shop fueled by beans from Costco. Do not be fooled. This is a serious and dedicated operation. I peppered the gentleman there about his opinion on roasting and processing methods and was treated to what felt like a PhD level reply together with an impromptu tasting of what may be the three best pour overs I’ve ever experienced. I had the washed Java beans from Finca Chuquiago in Bolivia, the natural Typica beans from Finca Huehuetepan in Veracruz MĂ©xico and the washed Pacamara beans from Finca La Josefina in Ecuador. What an experience. I purchased a bag of the Typica beans and am sipping now as I write this review. He said, “I do this because I love it - I can see no other way.” What a gift.

Wow! What a beautiful little hidden away spot to relax and have delicious coffee and snacks. Ponds fed by a creek and waterfalls to make lovely sounds for the Zen garden. Turtles sunning on the rocks, big healthy koi, happy birds splashing in the falls, and even a duck today peacefully swimming in one of the ponds.

Origens Coffee is a tiny little structure with lots of good options. Variety of exceptional coffees and coffee drinks (including iced). Fast friendly helpful service with a warm smile. You can also buy from a selection of fresh roasted coffee beans. My husband had a pour over coffee (rich and smooth, full of great toasted flavors), I tried a traditional latte (variety of milk options available). Great espresso- strong, complex, smooth, perfect balance to the milk for a perfect latte. He had the chorizo breakfast burrito (which he said was “ok”), I tried a waffle pastry which was good.

Come try this place, you’ll be so glad you did. You leave feeling like you’ve had a mini-vacation and are refreshed inside and out.

Ordered a latte that tasted super bitter. No sweetener options or flavoring. Apparently people just order black coffee
 if I knew I would have just ordered that. Really terrible flavor, just threw it away after struggling to take another sip.

This is truly the BEST coffee in San Diego! It was perfectly strong and smooth, and the man working was kind enough to explain the different kinds and was pleasant and efficient. The atmosphere was lovely with little ponds, waterfalls, koi fish & turtles, and lush with birds of paradise and lots of green, with seating and shade also! Don’t miss out on these guys!

Unparalleled coffee experience. No sugar needed. Exceptional product knowledge.

Not a real coffee shop, this is for the business park only.

I don't normally post reviews but I felt compelled to do so after a fantastic experience at Origen. Ruben made me one of the best pour overs I've ever had and is easily the most knowledgeable barista I've had the pleasure of talking to. I like to use my trips to coffee shops as opportunities to learn more and I can safely say I learned more in 5 minutes talking to him than I have from anyone else I've spoken to in my ~5 year coffee nerd journey. The El Salvador Anacafe pour over he made was exceptional, I can't wait to go back.

Found the best pour over coffee in San Diego! Ruben is doing right with diverse single origins, showcasing different regions and acidity. If you love GOOD coffee, definitely go to Origen. Beautiful Koi pond also nestled between corporate offices.

Simply amazing. Finally, a visit to a coffee shop that offers multiple options of legit, high quality, single origin coffee to chose for pour over or other preparation methods. Coffee does not disappoint. True test of a coffee shop is their black cup of coffee, you will not be disappointed here. Don't hesitate!
