Since its downtown, parking can be a bit hectic. Place itself is spacious inside with lots of seating. They have an assortment of pastries along with a good coffee menu. Got the cafe latte with regular milk. Pretty solid, nothing spectacular. It’s a big overpriced compared to other local coffee shops with better coffee but based on location is expected.

The café latte was good, but I didn't get all the hype..... at least for me. They make a reliable, good coffee, but tbh couldn't find anything special.

Blue Bottle same recommended from the staff at the US Grant Hotel. I thought the breakfast sandwich was delicious, but the coffee was a simply good. I’m sure that is more related to my tastes, and others might enjoy it more.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Outstanding coffee and service

I first visited this Blue Bottle in San Francisco after a less-than-great breakfast experience across the street, and I’m so glad I did! Shane greeted me with a genuine smile first thing in the morning, and the coffee was absolutely amazing.

I came back the next day… and then basically every day while I was in San Diego. Every visit was consistently positive — the coffee was top-notch, and the entire team was polite and welcoming.

On my third visit, Shane remembered my name and my regular order — and even surprised me with my coffee on the house. That kind of personal touch really made my day and left a lasting impression.

This will be my go-to spot whenever I’m in town. Thank you to Shane and the whole team for making mornings such a pleasure!

Blue Bottle Coffee offers a bold cup of coffee while experiencing the downtown vibe of San Diego. Blue Bottle is a modern coffee shop with a minimalist feel. The friendly staff took my ordered, a cup of coffe. They took a moment to freshly prepared my drink, a delightful surprise. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. I was part of a group of five, so we sat outside, where we enjoyed the weather and the city. Next time you are in downtown San Diego, you may want to enjoy a moment at Blue Bottle Coffee.

Just excellent. For a chain that sold to nabisco they haven't lost their touch. Its still excellent. Pour over, cold brew, affagato and waffle were all incredible.

Fantastic smooth tasting coffee and the breakfast sandwich with a drizzle of hot sauce was amazing! Definitely will go back.

No outlets for charging which is odd for a coffee shop. Food is ok, nothing great.
