“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!“

“Coffee was delicious but I also had a California Omelette and omg.. best ever!! Will be back for sure. Hubby had the chocolate croissant and it was so good.“

“So very yummy. Sad I can’t buy it for my home.“

“This place is obsessed with quality. His website says it all: consistently excellent. Highly recommended!“

“I travel a lot and Torque is my favorite roastery in the States. They manage to produce amazing tasting coffee while also having an ethical relationship with their farmers.

More coffee shops should model their practice after Torque.“

“Absolutely LOVE Ultreya! Both locations are top notch. We love it so much that we get coffee beans sent to us in Illinois. Great staff, great coffee, great tea, delicious food and pastries, and amazing owners. If you haven’t been here, you will be in love after you go!“

“My favorite coffee ☕️. Great service 🥰“

“Very tasty coffee, pleasant space, cool location, nice barista.“

“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!“

“Best coffee in San Diego!!!! ☕️✨“

“Really enjoyed the matcha here, just shy of perfect. It was smooth and earthy with a nice vibrant color, and the flavor was well balanced without any harsh bitterness. The texture was creamy and the sweetness was pleasant, though I would have liked a slightly stronger matcha taste. The cafe had a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere and the staff were friendly. Solid drink overall, and I'd happily come back and try something else from the menu.“

“An amazing roaster with a great selection of baked goods. Highly recommend the Cortado, chocolatey, smooth and made by an excellent staff! We always look forward to our visit! Excellent coffee“
