Cafe X: By Any Beans Necessary — Restaurant in San Diego

I was in sd for a few hours on the way from some community work, and stumbled upon this spot while trying some rocklimbing next door (also a great, legit, local biz I was lucky to try). I drink alot of coffee and have worked in service so I appreciate cafes and the work that goes in alot but rarely review. But drinking this iced hazlenut latte and cheese danish I have to praise Miss Cynthia and the other folks who run this beautiful place. The inention and interconnection that drives this place - coffee selection, roasting, food sourcing, art on the walls, welcoming space, cooperative mission, mutual aid resources - is nothing short of inspiring. And that intention translates into some of the smoothest, most creative coffee and latte blend I've had. Don't miss out - and while you're at it spread the word to friends and fam. Looking forward to my next trip to try...

Mini business cafe plaza. Very inviting atmosphere for families, college students and friends. The have a beautiful, peaceful back yard, a barbershop, clothing amongst other business along with the coffee shop. Great tasting medium roasted coffee paired with delicious pastries. I ordered an iced vanilla and brown sugar latte. Great flavor. Quality roasted coffee beans. The pastries ( which are baked by a third party) are delicious. Must try the lemonade cake, cinnamon cake or maple bourbon bar. Awesome customer service. The mother, one of the owners, was extremely friendly. Reasonable prices. No parking, there's little to no street parking and no lot parking. Overall positive experience, I've already returned twice....

Cafe X has immediately become my coffee shop of choice. I had a meeting, so I didn’t take pictures, and I’m so bummed about it! The cafe is GORGEOUS! You can feel the love that went into every little detail. I can confidently say that this place is for the culture. There are several seating areas and even a swing! The owners really outdid themselves! As far as the coffee goes, I had the Brown Suga. The name says it all… espresso, milk, and brown suga. It was delightful! I will definitely be a regular here. I can’t wait to bring...
