I highly recommend Heave Ho's coffee beans! I purchased the 2lbs espresso bean and so far I am big fan of the taste and aroma. I've tried other roasters and nothing compares to Heave Ho. Sometimes simple taste notes are always the best! The place is sort of tucked in, it's by the I-5 North exists and has ample parking. We didn't experience much service since we just wanted to purchase coffee beans. The shop has some cool merchandise that we will be checking out soon. Best coffee beans in the South Bay!! read more

Great little hidden gem, this shop has been around for a few years we learned but we had never noticed them Look for the coffee flags in the corner unit to the left of the floral business Cafe was clean and industrial with some seating some retail and an amazing coffee roasting smell My iced latte is good it didn't knock my socks off for nearly $9 ( to be fair I added an extra shot which raised the price $1) but the coffee is strong without being too sweet and not overloaded with creamer The cold brew was a little weak but wouldn't stop us from ordering it again Mech time we are close we will def stop by again The regulars seemed to have good rapport with the staff member which is always a great sign read more

I'm always down for trying different coffee spots and finally had a chance to check this place out. They are located right off the 5 freeway in an industrial area away from the busy main streets. I wouldn't have ventured out this way if it wasn't for Yelp, since I don't normally come out this far south. This place was alright, nothing special. The menu was simple and there were a few summer items available. We ordered the Mexican mocha (made with Chocolate Ibarra- not abuelitas), and a coconut cream americano (which was like a cold brew and coconut foam). I thought it would be hot, so I was a little bummed. There were no pastries which was another let down. The drinks were okay and the prices were average. There was indoor seating available (3 tables/6 chairs) and plenty of parking available. They had merchandise (hats, shirts- size small only, cups, key chains, coasters, and coffee). Overall, it was an okay coffee spot. read more

This small coffee roaster and shop makes some pretty good coffee. A very good cortado is what the young lady made for me. The cortado was quite robust and had a good depth of flavor. It was strong too. I wanted a pastry or something to munch on with my cortado, but unfortunately they had zero baked goods that day. Just my luck. They offer a very good amount of comfortable seating. There's a variety of roasted coffee available for retail. The employees were all very nice. Good coffee. read more

This is what I was served before drinking any. It felt kinda of light but I was in a rush and didn't look until in my car. While the customer service was decent the taste and lack of value for money was not. I was disappointed especially since I knew they were roasters also. The barista might have been in a hurry because after he served me he rushed off to someone at a table. This could've been a one off situation but unfortunately I am not the kind of person who goes back and spends my money to try again. Also they have a limited menu and unfortunately there were no food items if perhaps you are looking for that as well as coffee. I don't like to leave bad reviews but I also know people are not wanting to waste their money and time either so this is my experience. read more

Heave Ho Coffee - 3/4 way full mediocre flat white - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I recently stopped by Heave Ho Coffee and honestly, it felt like stepping into a countryside coffee shop straight out of a movie scene. The whole place has this rustic, barn-style charm that makes it really stand out--super cozy and unique compared to your typical café. The latte was excellent. You can really taste the freshness of the beans, and that flavor stayed consistent all the way to the last sip of my cup--which is something you don't always get. It's clear they care about quality and roasting their coffee right. What made the visit even better was the experience. I had a great conversation with the shop manager, who was incredibly welcoming and genuine. We ended up talking about coffee and realized we share the same appreciation for it, which made the whole visit feel more personal. You can tell he's passionate and truly cares about customers. The location is also super convenient, right near Interstate 5, making it an easy stop whether you're passing through or heading somewhere nearby. If you're looking for freshly roasted beans for your home setup or even for your own coffee shop, this is definitely a place I'd recommend checking out. read more

Heave Ho Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I was looking forward to trying this place because of the positive reviews and its convenient location near my work. The coffee was okay, nothing standout. I also ordered two pastries--which were actually pretty good. Definitely overpriced though. Overall, not a bad spot, but not sure it's worth the hype or the price. read more

Omg Bella is the absolute best! So kind and made my new favorite coffee drink! Coffee and vibes are fantastic. Be back soon!

I can't remember ever having a better cup of coffee anywhere in my entire life. I'm totally serious, it's that good.

After reading the one-star reviews, I decided to call this place before I stopped by. Someone answered, hello? and I stated I was just checking if they were open before I drove up. The shop is in an industrial lot, and even though the GPS was on and the address clearly on the web page, I was eyeballing it to see if I could find it easily. Well, I drove around a few times, but you will find it if you spot the 2240 on the building. I walked up, and there were a few employees busy doing coffee bag lifting , roasting, order fulfilling and stuff. I was greeted right away, I didn't catch his name because I am bad at that. But he was really nice and patient as I looked over the menu. He mentioned that they came in second place in a local article for best coffee in Chula Vista. I asked, "Who was first?" Grindhouse? He said, "No! they beat them - it was Rambler Cafe that came in first." Hmmm, we were surprised at that one, but they are good too. He mentioned plans in the making for a shop with baked goods in Imperial Beach and Coronado. Best of luck to you! I love indie coffee shops. Today, I ordered the Vanilla Bean on ice with oat milk. It was $6, so I think the menu pricing is a bit outdated. The coffee was smooth and not too strong, not sickeningly sweet. I enjoyed it very much, and will try the other items when I'm in town. read more

Not sure If there is food on the menu. Service was good. Cool spot inside they also sell heave ho merch, like sweaters tshirts etc.

Place was clean and ambiance awesome! really loved their beans and service was great! will be back again!

Amazing coffee sourced from southern Mexico! 100% organic and 100% natural, can't beat it. Very aromatic and you can really taste the freshness and high quality of these coffee beans. Had the privilege of meeting Patrick, owner of Heave Ho, on the coffee tour and he's super friendly, knowledgeable, talented, and awesome! He gave me a little tour of his roaster too and his operation. Lots of hard work goes into a good cup of coffee! Check out his roaster/coffee shop and give Heave Ho some love. You won't be disappointed. He also helps roast and sell "Broken Rib Coffee" which 100% proceeds go to help Baja Bound, an organization that builds homes for working poor in Baja; Baja Education Initiative, an organization that raises scholarship money for kids to go to school; and Casa Alegra, an orphanage in Chiapas. Amazing coffee, amazing people, doing amazing work. Go support Heave Ho, try their coffee, share with loved ones, and gift loved ones and coffee lovers with delicious bags of coffee that is doing good in this world! Definitely will be back! Thanks for the great coffee and labor of love, Heave Ho! read more

Great coffee. Very friendly service. Love the nautical ambiance. I'll be back again and again for more. read more

Heave Ho is my go to roaster for fresh coffee beans. Unlike other places where they deceptively use "best by" date, Heave Ho includes the date that the beans were roasted instead which is a much better indicator to gauge freshness. Coffee beans are roasted on site, can't get any more fresh than that! Especially if you order a drink and enjoy in their nice seating area. Great customer service and extremely knowledgeable. Gave me some pointers on how to improve my espresso pulls at home and even pulled a shot for me so I could use it as a reference point. read more

Hidden gem- thank you Yelpers! I've been searching fruitlessly for a good flat white for a few weeks. I wanted the taste of the kind you can get in France and I feel like a lot of the coffee here just tastes burnt. Well today my coffee wish came true. I actually go to this industrial park regularly for work but I had no idea this coffee place was there, just a few doors down from the unit I'm usually visiting. My loss! It's a little hidden from the main road but super easy to get to. If you're coming east off the 5, it's the first parking lot/ set of buildings on your left. Turn left as you enter the parking lot and then first right into the first row of parking you see between the two buildings, and it's about halfway down on the left. The service was really friendly and the coffee is sooo good and smooth! My afternoon is looking much better thanks to them. :) read more

Heave Ho will always be on my top 3 fav roasters of all time. Patrick and his team have always greeted me and my family with great customer service and attention to detail. Their variety of coffee roasts fits every category for any coffee preparation. Also their nautical ambience is super cool! read more

Honest coffee. This coffee shop is in the back of a factory typed alleyway (Gotta drive back a bit). The aesthetics are something to be in awe of. The entrance is "cute" according to my wife. The owner knows his coffee and gets his beans straight from the source down in South America. You should make your way down here. Go out of the way for this spot. Great flavored water here. read more

Guys, it's worth finding this little spot here in Chula Vista. It's tucked away in the last building of this business park. Might take some effort but you'll see the sign! Coffee is tasty and at a good price. Got us a couple of those honey lavender lattes that were delicious. Will be returning. read more

Small store front in a more industrial area, so don't be confused when Maps takes you to a building with a storage unit looking appearance. I only heard of them because someone in my neighborhood gave a recommendation and Heave Ho is definitely a diamond in the rough. They're a local roaster, and apparently expanding soon. Very yummy quality coffee! I got their summer special, a vanilla cold brew latte. I'm definitely coming back to try more on their menu. read more

Love this coffee. Fresh roasted and fresh ground coffees. Great cold brew. Fast service. Nautical themed atmosphere.

Great coffee -- good variety of beans & roasts. Great service, too. This is a South Bay hidden gem. Looking forward to coming back.

Wake up. House made everything. Super strong and smooth. Happy national coffee day. Got the pumpkin clove and it was perfect

Unexpected gem in a business park! It's mostly a roaster place.. so not somewhere to sit and work or meet a date. But definitely worth stopping by to grab and go. The americano was good and the man working at 10:40am Aug 25th was lovely!! So inviting, good convo, and a highlight of the day. Thanks! read more

The coffee is 4/5. Wish this place was more consistent with their business hours. I went there and they were closed however their sign had a different closing time. It's hard to tell from outside that it's a coffee shop and that it's opened. I recommend leaving the door open if you're open. The place has potential and it's cool inside. Should consider opening earlier around 6am for people to get their cup of coffee or close late. read more

Ditch franchised coffee for this! Beans are roasted in house. Just like the other comments say, can't beat this. I buy the 3lb espresso bag and it stays fresh.

I stumbled upon this place and let me tell you, I'm so happy I did!! My coffee drink I ordered here was absolutely delicious and the owner, Patrick, a huge sweetheart! He's an expert in all things coffee and helped me pick out a roast my husband would like (the Flagship, medium roast). My husband (whose a huge coffee snob) absolutely loved it and couldn't beliefe I bought it for the price I did. Thank you Patrick!! If you're thinking about going to this place, go!! I'll definitely be coming back to support this small business! read more
