Super friendly employees and a really nice pet friendly patio. Good dark roast and bonus points for the little pup cup & treats from the barista. Freddy and I loved it!

Incorrect schedule. This coffee shop is closed. They don’t care about people and don’t update schedule on the Google maps. Never will go with such addicted to their customers

The bacon breakfast burrito had too much egg, the pannini was really good, spanish latte, and mexican mocha both delicious! Very glad we stopped to have brunch in their little patio before heading the road ??

Really bummed on my experience here. I have lived in San Diego all my life. I'm a heavy coffee drinker and I really like to support local coffee shops and try all the different ones out because they tend to have way better quality than the big chains. I avoid Starbucks at all costs. I've been to The Caffeine Crawl 3 years in a row. This is all just to show you how much I love and have experienced coffee here.
I have walked by this spot a couple times in the past and today I decided I'd give them a try. There were a handful of people in there. Walking up to the counter there was a person waiting on their food and then one other person waiting to order ahead of me. As I got in line I took in the place. I noticed it's pretty dusty and dirty, needs some care. I saw a bag of Cafe Moto beans, promising of some quality maybe. I also noticed there were a couple of espresso shots sitting under the portafilter at the machine. No crema at the top, indicating to me they were already sitting.
The person ahead of me takes a few minutes to decide what they want. Now it's my turn to order. I patiently wait for the cashier to finish her texting and look up at me to take my order. (The espresso machine has not been touched since I have walked into this shop) I ask for a simple iced vanilla latte, no food. Fast, easy, simple. She turns to those sitting espresso shots and pours em right into my cup and I have a slight panic because I HATE being THAT person. I get her attention before she finished and ask if she just put the shots that were sitting there. She says "yes, these aren't old. They've been sitting maybe 3 minutes". I said "would you mind pulling a fresh one for me?" she looks me dead in the eyes with a smirk and says "They haven't been sitting for any longer than 10 minutes. It doesn't get old, that's not a thing" and continues to hand me my drink!
I don't think I need to explain to anyone who drinks coffee regularly that this ended up being a really bitter, subpar coffee. I was in shock at the service and honestly should have asked for my money back and not even taken the coffee. I don't understand why she wouldn't just pull a new shot? Would have cost them maybe pennies, the old shots weren't even made for me to begin with, and it would have taken just a couple minutes of her time. Not sure what time she was trying to save with pre-pulling shots when there was no one else even waiting in there?
I ended up continuing to walk deeper into downtown. Came upon Spill The Bean Coffee. Threw out my coffee I had just received from Brickyard And waited in the line that was going out the door at Spill The Beans.
Spill The Beans was super clean, extremely friendly, fast, and fresh. I highly recommend them.
Will not be going back to Brickyard. I've never had an experience like that at any coffee shop ever. This place has been there for a long time but I think they are sustained by the trolley and locals who need convenience ONLY.
Sorry this was insanely long but absolutely necessary. Thanks.

The staff was very rude and seemed like they just wanted to go home. I ordered breakfast, and my coffee was not served with all the ingredients listed on the board; I had to ask for them, and I felt like a nuisance for doing so. My bagel was quite sad. The cream cheese was very sparse and didn't cover the bread. The salmon was torn into small pieces and placed with gaps, covering only half of the bagel in total. The presentation was very odd, with tomato slices, capers, and onion rings placed on the side. Never have I received such poor service and sad food for 19 dollars. Oh and the food was 50% more expensive in the store than on the menu on their website.

It’s 7:25am, Monday July 1st. Why are you closed when google says you’re open. Probably stoner kids run this place. Makes sense with all the tweakers congregating here.
