Achilles Coffee Roasters @ Park 12 — Restaurant in San Diego

Been in San Diego for a few days. This was the closest to my hotel, and of course I had to check it out first. After the first day of trying coffee here - I stopped looking. I tried their pour over one day (Ethiopia beans per barista suggestion) and it was really good - no burnt flavor, very smooth light roast. Loved it. The food was also really good (I had oatmeal, kids had bagels). Their latte is is stellar as well - in 4 days I hadn’t had any bad experiences. The staff is very cool, quick with your orders, and just plain cool. Overall, definitely worth stopping by for a good cup of coffee, good food (they get bagels from NY the sign says) and really nice atmosphere. Oh, and they have free doggie treats for you little...

I went here once and didn’t love the coffee I got (a latte) but wanted to give it another try and got another honey-cinnamon latte and also didn’t like it because it tasted like watered down coffee with barely any flavor and the service wasn’t great (not very friendly - they could’ve been having a bad day so I’m happy to give them the benefit of the doubt and also wouldn’t have minded as much if the coffee was good). I just think it’s a little overrated especially if I’m paying $7 for a regular sized coffee. I read other reviews, and it seems if you want the pour over coffee, that may be your best bet here. I haven’t had their food so can’t rate...

I'm now obsessed with their breakfast burrito and sad that there's no Achilles Coffee Roasters where I live, lmao 🥲 I ordered the breakfast burrito twice during my week-long trip in SD and it is just soooooo good. It's ENORMOUS and well worth the price! I also strongly recommend this location (Park 12) over the Gaslamp Quarter location. They're both about the same walking distance from the San Diego Convention Center anyway. I had a horrid experience at the Gaslamp location, and in comparison, this location had friendlier staff AND faster service even though it was busier 🤷‍♀️ Great place to grab drinks and brunch...
