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...
Read moreI 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...
Read moreI'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...
