Coffee & Tea Collective

Founded with the vision of elevating San Diego's coffee scene, this cafe quickly became a hub for both coffee lovers and local artists. Its mission revolves around fostering community and creativity, using the cafe as a platform for art shows, pop-ups, and collaborations. Over the years, it has earned a reputation for its commitment to quality and its role in supporting emerging creatives. The minimalist design and thoughtful programming reflect a broader goal of making specialty coffee accessible and inspiring.

Every cup is brewed with precision, from bright, nuanced pour-overs to balanced espresso drinks. The baristas demonstrate a deep knowledge of extraction and technique, always happy to talk origins or recommend a new single origin. Specialty drinks like their lavender latte or seasonal cold brews showcase both creativity and restraint. Drinks are served in simple, elegant glassware that complements the aesthetic. Seating is a mix of communal tables and cozy nooks, perfect for both solo work and small gatherings.
