Easily one of the best coffee shop experiences I've had in San Diego! Lyn was so incredibly friendly and proud of what she was doing. She was happy to tell me about the regions of beans, house made syrups, and the cold brew she had just finished preparing for the day. I brought my hyper husky with me and she quietly grabbed treats to give me the option without getting him too excited. He really appreciated that. The coffee was fantastic! I got an iced vanilla latte and a hot vanilla latte. The espresso was a medium light roast Ethiopian and the fruity notes that can sometimes taste sour in espresso actually tasted bright and delicious, especially when paired with the house made syrups. I'll definitely be making it back ASAP. 10/10 coffee 10/10 experience read more

Kind Coffee - So dog friendly! - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Kind Coffee is one of my favorite spots to walk to with my pup. It's such a dog-friendly, and they genuinely love seeing all the pups that come in. Sushi is even on their Doggie Wall of Fame, which makes every visit feel a little extra special! One of my favorite things is that they carry pastries from Bread & Cie, so you already know they're going to be good. I always appreciate that they'll warm up your pastry too because a chocolate croissant just isn't the same if it's cold. read more

Mandy and Shep the owners are amazing! They were so kind to let me in 5 minutes before closing and gave me a complimentary birthday brew. The cafe is such a vibe, it's cozy and cute. I love the decor and where it's located. I highly recommended stopping by. read more

Kind Coffee - Cold brew - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

One of my favorite coffee shops I've tried in the area! The place is very quaint and has a fair amount of seating options to dine in/sit outside. The staff were so friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in! I really enjoyed the flavor of coffee and the syrup flavor options. They have a few specialty drink options as well that sounded good. The avocado toast was amazing- very fresh tasting and there are two different bread options to choose from. Definitely recommend trying out! read more

Adorable little cozy coffee shop with an equally adorable title, Kind Coffee. It's really nice inside, super spacious. The barista, really, really nice - kind . I had Americano and they have oat and almond milk for non-dairy choices. And really cute area inside. They do close early at 1 p.m., check them out, give them some love. CC accepted read more

Such a friendly and cozy vibe! I've walked by this spot a few times and didn't realize there's a bigger living room type seating area in the back! I appreciated the nice marble tables and real dishes/silverware. You can tell there is a lot of thought put into every aspect of your experience. They were pretty much sold out of pastries by 10am so I had their oatmeal, it was sweet and hearty! I also appreciated the local art for sale on the walls and the general vibe was very down to earth. Will definitely be back to try more menu items! Just be aware they close pretty early! read more

A delightful one of a KIND coffee shop with a serene, calm vibe and delicious coffee - made to make us smile and write a very KIND review. It is easy to give 5 stars for the service as well - because both Glorissa and Lyn (Jocelyn) are most accommodating! Keeping this KIND-of short and sweet, just like the small, cute and sweet coffee shop... read more

Super cute very local spot. It felt like everyone who walked in a was a regular. Dog friendly and a great cortado, can't ask for much more.

We were in the area for a week and found this little coffee spot right at the corner of the street. The menu included classic espresso drinks as well as some specialty drinks and drip coffee. There were also a few breakfast and pastry options. We got a latte, avocado toast, chocolate croissant, and a drip coffee. The drip coffee (Ethiopia) was particularly good. It was tangy and great for someone who likes light toast. The avocado toast was crispy and lightly seasoned with red chili peppers. The chocolate croissant had lava chocolates inside when warmed. Overall we were satisfied with the coffee and food. However, service efficiency could be improved. It took over 20min to get all of our coffee and food. While our coffee was in a dine-in cup, they made our avocado toast and croissant in a to-go box (no big deal though). The drip coffee came out quite late after we finished the toast and croissant. read more

Avocado toast was 100% amazing! Great bread, great flavor, great portion (huge!). The cappuccino we ordered was smooth and a great flavor. They have a pistachio zest syrup which i ordered with matcha. Matcha was well rated on their website but honestly it was extremely grainy. Wish I got a latte instead The workers (owners?) were extremely friendly and so sweet! They did great with the space and the coffee read more

Every time I stop by I encounter the most friendliest (or shall I say KINDdest?) staff at this location. Coffees too are top notch! So sad that honey cinnamon latte is out of season but excited for the next crafted drinks. Place has a cute decor and very interesting paintings on the walls. Also a huge fan of the little green men everywhere :) read more

Cute little coffee shop, we came on a weekday morning and it wasn't busy at all. I got the banana nut iced coffee, and my bf got a vanilla latte and avocado toast. The coffees took a while to come out, longer than we would've liked. The banana nut had a strange aftertaste, but it might not have been my cup of tea is all. My bf liked the avocado toast, the bread was high quality and the flavors were nice, latte was basic though read more

The Zesty Pistachio Latte was smooth, sweet, and had a fun citrus twist from the orange zest on top. Service was solid, and there was plenty of seating inside. Parking can be tricky due to the location and metered spots, but it's worth a visit if you're in the Cortez Hill area. read more

This is an amazing spot to grab coffee or breakfast. They pay so much attention to every detail of your beverage--truly hand crafted. I loved the avocado toast and tried both breads they are seasonally offering. The passion fruit matcha tonic is also 10/10. The baristas are super friendly and the atmosphere is v cute. read more

The service and the ambiance is great! I found it just by walking the dogs around the corner from my apartment. Pet friendly as well!

I am so happy that I stumble upon this small business locally owned coffee shop. The young lady who owns it made me a fantastic cortado. It was quite robust in flavor but well balanced. I also had a lemon loaf with the cortado. The loaf came from a local bakery. The coffee shop offers inside and outside seating. The inside seating is vast and very comfortable. Kind coffee offers a melee of espresso based beverages, teas, and baked goods. They also make avocado toast. The service was very good. read more

Really great coffee, friendly staff (they live up to the name "kind coffee"), excellent study/work/hangout spot. We got a pourover and a latte. Both drinks were excellent and they even do latte art! We brought our dog and initially I was going to wait outside with the dog while my boyfriend went in to order, but the staff let the dog come in. They even gave him a treat and took a picture of him to add to their wall of customer pets! Dog was very happy for the attention lol. I noticed that they thoroughly washed their hands before and after giving him the treat. The inside of the cafe is clean and cozy and decorated with many plants. I also like that the music playing at the store is soft enough that you can focus or have a conversation. There are also magazines and books you can read as you have your drink. The only negative thing I can say is that there is no parking lot or designated customer parking spaces, so typical downtown street and paid parking situation. Depending on the hourly rate for parking, this could limit your time to spend here. But this is outside the control of the cafe of course, just something to consider as you plan your visit. read more

Went here on my most recent visit to SD. The barista was so friendly, and we ended up striking a convo about pretty names. I could've sat there for hours. Even the other patrons I encountered greeted me with a friendly hello. Coffee was really good as well. I had their black batch and the rosemary hazelnut with oat milk. I loved them both! Definitely one that I'll keep coming back to when I visit. read more

Kind Coffee - Banana Nut Latte - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Great atmosphere, friendly people and great bagels and oatmeal! The espresso drinks have a weird "green" or under-roasted taste that seems to be somewhat ubiquitous in San Diego for some strange reason. I like my coffee strong, but the beans used here taste the opposite of burnt. Best is somewhere in the middle! read more

OK, this is my fault. My favorite coffee shop now the coffee is amazing. I got a double espresso macchiato and it did not disappoint. The almond croissant is so bomb and not to mention the customers and the customer service. I meant so many friendly people and cute dogs in my quick little morning, coffee date. Highly recommend this coffee shop if you're into people into good coffee don't miss out. read more

Obsessed with the Zesty Pistachio latte!! Walking into this coffee shop feels like walking into a cozy, sunlit home you never want to leave (love their windows). There's an immediate sense of warmth, from the charming atmosphere to the genuinely welcoming smiles of the staff. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger, whether with a book, a laptop, or simply good company. I ordered the Zesty Pistachio latte with oat milk, and I was HOOKED from the first sip--a perfectly balanced blend of nutty richness with a subtle citrus lift that makes each sip refreshing and indulgent all at once. Alongside it, I had a bowl of oatmeal that was not only delicious but plated with such care and artistry it felt like breakfast at a boutique hotel. Every detail was thoughtful, every flavor elevated. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the service. The team here is beyond kind, going out of their way to make you feel cared for in the smallest yet most meaningful ways. It's rare to find a spot that combines exceptional food, creative drinks, and heartfelt hospitality so seamlessly. I absolutely love coming here--it's a gem that makes everyday moments feel special. read more

The girls working were nice enough and the shop had a cute area to do some work in. HoweveI paid $7.54 for about a 10oz iced vanilla latte, not only is it tiny but it tastes like there's barely 1 shot of espresso in it. Probably one of the worst valued coffee I've had in San Diego. Very disappointing. read more

Great ambiance, super cozy vibes. Kind staff. Drinks tasted a bit watered down even tho we got them immediately.

A great and wholesome place to swing by for a coffee or longer stay for breakfast or lunch they have a tasty menu! Yummy food

Great little coffee shop. They have great coffee drinks and fresh pastries. The staff is awesome!

Ordered matcha and it tasted like water and the iced vanilla latte was below average because it also tasted watered down

Best coffee shop in town! Walking around SD and we found this shop on the corner. Great variety with organic options. Service and prices were phenomenal! Has a cozy relaxing seating area in the back. This is a must stop when we come into the area. Looking forward to their future events! read more

In town from Chicago and was happy to find a quality coffee shop in walkable distance to our Air BnB - you can really taste the full flavor of the espresso here, not a cup of hot milk like many places. The owner was very friendly and the ambience of the place was nice - I walked over both days we were staying nearby. read more

First time to Kind and I most often get black batch coffee or a pour over. The batch they had today is fantastic! The girls were ultra happy and friendly. For ready to go coffee, this stands out as a trip worth the effort compared to other daily drinkers around town. I'm a coffee roaster hobbyist so I'm glad there was no parking at the horse place I tried before this. I had to come back and add to the review as I'm drinking some aweosme black coffee. It's got the hallowed blueberry and chocolate notes that roasters love to find in some of their roasts! This is tasty, enjoying it in my Klean Kanteen for hours! read more
