This is a roaster that serves coffee. Versus a coffee shop that roast coffee. They have a few seats in the shop, but most of the shop is for roasting coffee. I ordered a honey and cinnamon decaf latte. It's not overly sweet so if that's what you're looking for I would order something else. They did let me know that their chai is spicy and not sweet. They do have a shop dog, which I thought was cute Overall, a great little shop clean lots of parking good coffee read more

I had a few doctor's appointments in this neighborhood over the course of a week, so I found myself coming to this shopping center quite often. That's how I discovered Acento Café, and I'm really glad I did. Since it's located in a shopping plaza, there's plenty of parking, which made stopping by super convenient. The café has a cozy, family-owned feel, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. There are a few tables inside, so I was able to get some work done while enjoying my coffee. I ordered a latte, and it was absolutely delicious. I'm really happy I found this little neighborhood gem, and I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area again. read more

They have a great selection of espresso and will take the time to explain the flavor profiles to you if you are interested. That's good customer service for sure. They also include a little signs with a brief flavor profile description of each type. An added benefit is "Trompo" the pup that roams the shop. He's absolutely adorable and loves a good petting. I got a black cold brew and the wife got a caramel latte, both were good. The cold brew had great flavor and was well balanced. The caramel latte had an excellent caramel flavor but wasn't overly sweet. read more

Visited my nephew at the Navy and spot this lovely coffee roastere. The smell of the freshly roasted coffee beans welcome me and my family as we walk in the shop! I love the ambiance, the shop is clean and bright. Bathroom is an absolute clean. Employees are very nice and helpful. All of their beans recommendations are spot on to our drinks. Bought 8 lbs of coffee beans for family and friends back home. I still have my nephew bring back some of their coffee beans every time he comes home. Thank you. read more

Heard good things about Acento Coffee Roasters so I checked it out while I was in the area. Pros: -free parking lot- no issues -dog friendly! -good coffee. I tried the freddo and it was tasty -their staff were roasting the beans when I visited which was neat to see Cons: -I wasn't a fan of the pastry I ordered. I also found a metal piece in it :( Other: -there are a few tables/chairs inside and a lower table (priority for accessibility need) read more

Acento Coffee Roasters - This one had pistachio notes. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Diego, California

First time here and super glad we came! Tried their iced latte with cafe de olla and their freddo. The cafe de olla was the perfect amount of sweet and I adored it. They let me choose what roast and I went with Ecuador (it was the strongest one caffeine wise and I needed it). The freddo was also very good and was sweet and not bitter. This is a locals joint and it was great seeing so many people walk in and be greeted by the owner who was roasting beans there. The service was also tremendously friendly and helpful. There are a few tables inside to sit at. Also the mascot and owners dog may be there so make sure to say hi to him! Will absolutely be returning. This may be our new spot. They used to be closed on Sundays (for surfing! Which is very San Diego and I love it) but now are open every day of the week! There is plenty of parking as it's connected to the same lot used for Barnes and nobles. read more

Acento Coffee Roasters had been sitting on my "San Diego coffee hit list" for a while. I finally made it in after I ran out of my Bird Rock Coffee Roasters espresso beans and needed a fix. Instead of crawling back for another bag (god espresso beans I the way) , I figured I'd keep the mission alive: find the best espresso beans in San Diego. Acento is right outside the Liberty Station area in a little plaza that also has a Barnes & Noble. Translation: easy parking, zero circling the block like a vulture waiting for someone to leave. The shop itself is pretty big inside but minimal. A few tables, a few chairs, nothing crazy. It feels more like a place that takes coffee seriously rather than a place designed for people to sit for hours. The menu is simple: hot drinks, cold drinks, and a few flavor add-ons if you're feeling fancy. No 47-step latte recipes, no drinks that sound like they belong in a dessert menu. I ordered a Freddo -- basically espresso with a little honey and a splash of water. That's it. And honestly... respect. It was strong, you could actually taste the espresso, and it didn't come buried under half a gallon of milk and a mountain of ice like most coffee shops try to pull. None of that "coffee-flavored milkshake" nonsense. This was real espresso. The kind that reminds you coffee used to be a wake-up drink, not a personality trait. Bottom line: don't come here expecting foo-foo unicorn frappes or drinks that require a paragraph to order. Come here if you actually like coffee... and if you don't need it disguised with caramel drizzle and whipped cream to get it down. I'll definitely be back for a drink again but for now I will continue the ongoing, highly scientific research project known as "finding the best espresso in San Diego." read more

Wow this coffee is good . Nice little shop with friendly people . I got the honey latte .

Tried this for the first time today! Got a cold brew with a little bit of oat milk and it's delicious. The cold brew is so flavorful and smooth. Even without any added flavor I'm able to drink it without any bitter taste. I definitely want to try it with some of their syrups now. My only complaint is the store itself wasn't very inviting. The design choice is more aesthetic then and there isn't many places to sit. Will be back for more coffee but definitely a grab and go kind of place. read more

It's been a long time since I've been here and I heard that they moved into a bigger location so I wanted to check it out. The space is definitely bigger but the seating situation is still pretty limited. More of a grab and go place still. Menu is similar to what it was before but this time I decided to try something else. I wanted something like a latte but with less milk and they said they could just make a latte but add less milk. I think I was hoping for another type of drink recommendation. I also wanted something shaken like the freddo and they were able to shake my drink to make it frothy. They added honey which they said was "standard" when I asked but after I ordered I realized they charged me extra for the flavor. The whole ordering process was a little confusing but that might be more on me. Overall, this time I was more disappointed in what I got. If I came again I'd just stick with the freddo. read more

Agreed with some of the other reviewers. Fantastic coffee but absolutely no vibe to the place. Not really a place you would want to go with friends and hang out or sit and read a book or do some work. read more

So nice to see new coffee roasteries popping up in my hometown, San Diego! Our trusty Yelp app brought my husband and me to Acento when we were between Sports Arena and Liberty Station areas. My husband and I were the only customers during our visit, so we were able to chat with the owner (and also our server) for a bit. We even met the owner's dog before he went for a walk, the same dog featured on the shop's wall art! My husband ordered a hot cafe de olla cortado while I ordered an iced honey cinnamon latte. I enjoyed my drink, but I didn't expect to love my husband's drink so much! Our drinks were made with their house coffee. The owner shared the story behind the roastery, its connection to Mexico, and that he's lived in San Diego for as long as I've been away. He even shared that their syrups and chocolate are produced either in-house or by friends. That grabbed my attention as I'd prefer house-made syrups over the manufactured stuff that come in pumps! Since we only had a few days to visit San Diego and more new coffee shops to try, we didn't have a chance to return, though we would've loved to be back. Don't sleep on Acento, no pun intended! read more

Shoutout to the barista at Acento cuz she was so sweet and friendly! We honestly came for Barnes and Noble next door, and didn't really have plans to grab coffee since we already had some earlier this morning. I was in desperate need of just an ice cold cup of water, but hubs and I didn't want to just get that. So I opted for a lightly sweetened hibiscus tea that the barista concocted with some type of orange syrup. It was exactly what I needed! So refreshing! I loved the vibe of this coffee shop. The decor was minimal, but still picture worthy and aesthetic. Seating does seem a little limited, with only a few tables set up inside. However, I could see myself coming here if I were a student and needing a place to study, or a just a chill place to hang. Will definitely come back here with the intention of enjoying my caffeine in house! read more

Another good spot that does coffee well without the gimmicky aspects. They also roast their own beans and have in-house made syrups. We just opted for a simple flat white and it was very smooth and delicious. Seems like a known local spot and the staff were friendly. They also have a cute resident dog you may spot during your visit! read more

New to the neighborhood coffee house. Very good coffee, and roasted in house. A little hit, behind BevMo, but lots of parking.

Was in the area and wanted to check out a coffee shop so found this. It's tucked away in a very unassuming small plaza. There's a lot of parking which is always a plus! You order your drink and then get to choose your beans which I thought was cool! I don't know much about the beans so I had the barista pick for me. I got the Honduras beans with my latte. Latte with Cafe de Olla syrup ($6.75) - the latte wasn't too sweet which I liked. It was also pretty smooth. read more

The BEST quality beans and roast I have ever had... menu is simple but done EXCELLENTLY! I come from OC and every time I come to San Diego for school, I know I need to make a trip to acento. 2nd time here, such a staple... after being a die hard cafe/coffee explorer, this place is going to be my staple anytime I'm in SD. This is coffee at is core and done at its very best. My favorites are the freddo and just a good ole espresso. Not even sure how I can even recreate the freddo at home! Nobody does it like acento! read more

To be honest I'm really shocked that there's not a lot of people in the coffee shop. The iced latte is really good! And I'm very picky with the ratio of milk and syrup. I got an ice vanilla latte with oat milk and it was probably one of the best iced vanilla latte I've had in a long time. The worker is very nice. And the ambience is very chill. read more

This is the best coffee roaster in San Diego. I buy my coffee beans here. Great ambience and great customer service. Even the mascot Trapo with his mellow temperament shows you the great vibes of this place. If you are in San Diego near Point Loma you must stop here get some beans, and a drink. read more

I've been to quite a few coffee shops throughout San Diego since I recently purchased the San Diego Cafe Passport, Acento Coffee Roasters was one of the shops listed in the passport. I decided to check it out today and as soon as I walked through the door I was greeted by a lovely surprise; Trapo the Scottish Terrier puppy! He was so gentle and calm. He put me in a good mood right away. I loved the decor, modern and coffee oriented. I loved that they had coffee bean bags converted into art, very impressed. The barista was very friendly. I went ahead and ordered an iced latte but added the Cafe de Olla syrup. It had to have been one of the best lattes I've had in a while. I also liked that the barista asked how sweet I liked my drinks, it's been a while since I come across a barista that is so considerate. It was really good! I highly recommend it. I do feel that this coffee shop is underrated. I'm honestly surprised there wasn't more people. I showed my coworkers the pictures of the place and one of them asked for an iced latte to go and she said the same thing; Very good coffee, cute coffee shop with an adorable greeter at the door! I'm definitely coming back. read more

We had our morning coffee from here when I was visiting my sister. I enjoyed my latte! Next time i will request a light brew for my espresso.

I'm always looking for the best honey cinnamon latte that's well-balanced and Acento Coffee Roasters has it. I can actually taste the espresso. There's a nice list of espressos to choose from and the barista used Colombian which happens to be my favorite. I was looking for pastries, but they only had fig bars on the counter. Don't expect a fancy coffee shop here -- just great espresso! read more

I really wanted to like this place as it came highly recommended, but my visit to Acento Coffee was a total disappointment. The shop itself was unbearably hot - like stepping into a sauna with no ventilation in sight. It was so stuffy and warm that I was sweating before I even got my iced latte. I have no idea why the manager was roasting coffee in the peak of San Diego heat. The decor was an afterthought, and the vibe screamed "I used to have my life together but now its just me and this sad couch" The only saving grace to this coffee shop were the two females working the espresso machine, very friendly and accommodating. I felt bad because you can see the pain of the heat in their eyes almost like one was about to faint. read more
