Talitha Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in San Diego

I’ve been coming to The West Bean Coffee Roasters since 2015/2016 when I worked in Downtown SD and the menu only consisted of 5 drinks. Now, I’m happy to see they have more locations and an upgraded menu with more food items! The staff remember you if you’re a regular, the customer service is accommodating and excellent, and the cafe itself is very aesthetically pleasing (the free wifi is great too for study sessions). It’s hard for me to get coffee anywhere else because I’m used to how good the quality of the coffee is here. I’m a bit spoiled now because The West Bean Coffee Roasters has amped up my standards- that’s how good the coffee is. The syrups are made in-house which really heightens the flavor profile of every drink infused with it. I always get an Iced Vanilla Latte - it’s basic I know but trust me, it’s the best one I’ve ever had.

I wish this location had extended hours, since it’s so close to USD and UCSD, which would really help any students who’d want to support local coffee establishments while getting some studying done. I also think they could have more vegan/dairy free food options.

Overall, if you’re a coffee connoisseur or love a good latte, The West Bean Coffee Roasters has the best quality, freshest brew, and tastiest drink you’ll find...

First time here. Ordered a coffee and sandwich at the counter (they were both good, by the way), came to $18, when paying it asked for a tip, I did not tip as I was ordering and picking up at the counter, and also hadn't tried anything yet OR experienced any type of "service". There was also a tip JAR in my face with cash in it that I can always go back to and put cash in... Immediately the girl at the register literally looked disgusted and spun away lol (so dramatic) and became full on snarky and was unfriendly the entire time I was waiting (ruining my desire to leave a cash tip before leaving). I'm sorry. Maybe she needs to know the REASON for a tip.. it's not an entitlement. Because of this I won't go back. Do the employees not get paid properly? For the cost of the food and then to expect a guilt tip on top of this, when ordering and picking up at a counter is just ridiculous. Just because the software CAN ask for tips, doesn't mean you have to use it. Or maybe just have a conversation with your staff that tips are not something they are entitled to for simply...

Yes, they're finally open! After watching with anticipation for the last year as they built out their roasters and cafe, we were so thrilled to finally try it out this morning. This is a much needed addition to the Bay Park neighborhood which has a dearth of restaurants and coffee shops. The space is cool, clean and industrial with the focus being on the roastery. Beautiful materials and for anyone who is familiar with Kitchen 4140, the same layout inside. As with most new locations, the A team is there and the commitment to the drinks is second to none. Absolutely perfect shot of espresso, short and restrained. Delicious lavender latte, with just the right amount of sweetness (and thank you for using organic milk).

Very dog friendly and if you live in Bay Ho, easy to walk to. We will...
