DropKick Brew Coffee & Tea
4506 Federal Blvd Ste D, San Diego - 9.37 miles

“Best nitro cold brew I've found in San Diego. DropKick has genuinely spoiled me for other canned cold brews. The nitro pour is the whole show — they infuse nitrogen into every can before sealing it, which gives the coffee a thick, creamy texture without any milk or sugar added. Shake it hard, crack it slow, and you get that cascading nitro pour right out of the can, no keg required. I've worked through most of the lineup — Original, Vanilla with Maple, Cinnamon Turmeric, Bold Brew, and Horchata — and Bold Brew is my go-to when I need an actual jolt (340 mg of caffeine per can vs. 220 mg in the rest of the lineup). Horchata is the one I hand to friends who claim they "don't really like coffee" — it converts them every time. What sold me beyond the taste: it's actually roasted, brewed, canned, and kegged locally here in San Diego. If you're grabbing a can, keep it cold and give it a solid shake before opening — that's what activates the nitro. Highly recommend for anyone who wants coffeehouse-quality cold brew without leaving the fridge.“

“This place had amazing service, they were super sweet, and fast paced. The choco bread was okay, I would prefer my own. I hoped to try the chocolate chips as they seem popular, but they’re sold out. I got the cinnamon roll iced shaken espresso and it was good, although I personally prefer something sweeter. The hot coffees and bagels were good also! So definitely worth the spot!“

“Clint is such a giving dude- he supports so many causes in our community and the coffee is yyyummmyyyyy.

The shop is small and simple, he doesn't have any frills but that's what I love about it! No pretentious baristas with their half non fat BS blah blah blah.. straight up great flavored coffee, community and fun.

Bike nights, ride clubs, events and so much more is in store when you drop in on Clint and his coffee shop.

We are proud to call him our community partner , share his coffee, host events at his shop, start rides from his shop and be his friend.

Stop in on Saturday mornings, you won't regret doing so!“
