5 stars for Emilie! I walked into the cutest little shop with the best vibes and was greeted warmly. I asked her to surprise me and she delivered the most delicious iced lavender shaken espresso- decaf & slightly sweet.

We come to PB once a year around the holidays, and love trying new places. We are often looking for new places to grab a drink, or have coffee in the morning. We try to stay away from S-Bux in favor of trying and supporting the local spots! This is actually the second year in a row that we've come to Pump. We first discovered it last year during a combination of Yelp searches, and a little A-Frame sign they have along the boardwalk. The reviews were mostly all good, and we quickly understood why. LOCATION & INSIDE: Located in a little outdoor shopping center, the inside itself is pretty small. Amongst different areas, there is room for around a dozen or less people to sit inside. They have a little space against the wall across from the counter where they sell shirts and other items such as travel mugs, glass sippers, and mushroom coffee! There are a few additional tables out front, but I recommend taking your coffee down for a stroll along the beach if the weather permits. DRINKS: This is a pretty typical coffee shop in terms of offerings, with options including regular coffee, cold brew, pour-over, espresso, cappuccino, americano, latte, tea, tea latte, and hot chocolate. They have several options for most categories, including a Caramel Macchiato, (White) Mocha, and a Rose Lavender latte, to name a few. They also have seasonal drinks, which are currently a Tiramisu Cold Brew and a Peppermint White (Chocolate) Mocha. For tea lattes, they have items like a Chai Latte, Matcha Latte, and even a few variations of those. The first time we went (last year), we got hot drinks. This most recent time we went (a couple days ago) we went with iced lattes. The wifey ordered the Rose Lavender, and I got the French Vanilla latte. We both loved our drinks, and were very happy with our decisions. It's only a difference of $0.50 to go from small (12oz.) to large (16oz.) and +$1 to have an alternative milk. We love to use oat milk, as it helps create an extra creamy drink. While they don't typically have their own cold foam per-se, they were able to add some of the whipped mascarpone from the tiramisu latte on top. Honestly this was the perfect topper to an already incredibly creamy and delicious drink. They also added some dried rose petals to the lavender one, which was a nice aesthetic. FOOD: There are just a few options, including various croissants and vegan pastries. They don't have a full kitchen, so the stuff isn't freshly made in-house. For the animal friends in your life, they also offer a Puppaccino for $1! OVERALL: This is definitely a place worth stopping for some quality coffee. They generally have 2 people working, unless one's on break or something. The service is pretty casual, and can take a while if there's a line. They take an order, then make the drink. The staff were all super friendly and welcoming, and this is definitely a place we have added to the rotation during our annual holiday trip! IG: @bbnem.eats

Stopped by Pump Coffee in Pacific Beach and really liked the vibe. It's a cute little shop with warm decor, fun touches, and a cozy atmosphere. Service was friendly and quick. I tried the 16oz French Vanilla Latte -- the flavor was really good, though I wish it had been a bit hotter. Still enjoyed it overall! A nice spot to grab a coffee and chill for a bit. I'd definitely come back to try more drinks.

Regina M.

Drinks were not that good. Banana matcha was very bland and artificial with nothing special. There's many other places where you could get a better one. The rose lavender latte was really sweet and watery, so overall not worth.

ICED MINT MATCHA WITH OAT MILK, 16OZ. YOU GOTTA GET IT. Need I say anything more?! This was my first time experiencing Pump Coffee and, admittedly, when I was giving the menu a gander, my brain had a hard time putting mint and matcha together. But after reading Yelp reviews that recommended the mint matcha, I had to get it. IT WAS SO TASTY Y'ALL!! The perfectly sweetened matcha and the touch of mint flavoring flowed so beautifully together. I loved how balanced this drink was. As most other folks already have, I MUST recommend this yummy beverage! Quick shout out to the friendly staff and to the fact that this is a woman-owned business. I LOVE supporting these kinds of spots. For the folks who are looking for a cafe to work remotely at, there are a few tables on the inside as well as bench seating on the outside. A great spot to check some emails and crank out an hour or two of work. Overall, I highly recommend this spot to both locals and travelers alike!

Pump Coffee wasn't originally on our list of stops for my bachelorette weekend but after a slight detour of plans, we decided to make a stop here for coffee. Small little spot with only a few tables & chairs indoors and outdoors. This is more of a grab n go kind of place. Between the five of us, we got some matcha lattes, iced jasmine green tea and lavender rose lattes. We were all pleasantly pleased with our drinks. The female cashier and baristas were all so sweet. They congratulated me plus left a nice message on my cup too. :) There's an underground parking garage conveniently located next to Pump Coffee and I believe they validate up to two hours.

Cute little coffee shop close to beach! Service was good. I ordered an iced coffee with a ham croissant. The croissant was decent. The iced coffee was good. It was just surprising that there wasn't a bathroom for customers to use, so plan ahead if you need a bathroom.

Came down to San Diego for a family vaca at the end of June and saw this little coffee shop right across the way from our Airbnb. Now being a coffee FIEND I always look up places near where I am staying because I cannot wake up without it (I'm a mom of 2 little girls). This place is the cutest! It's a very small little coffee shop but they had a nice amount of options to choose from. I did a cold brew with some sugar free vanilla. It was so yummy. I did a large. We went here a few times during our stay. The only downfall I would say is the large is not very big and would like a few more options for size. read more

I was staying nearby at the Banana Bungalow for a couple days, and so this became my morning go-to coffee + breakfast spot. Parker, Ashley, and Joey(did I forget anyone?) are all warm, great staff members here. Ashley especially took her time to really help me, not just with ordering but to also give me recommendations for vegan food spots in San Diego, which I really appreciated. Joey and Parker were also conversational during my other visits. And of course the rose lavender lattés, vegan cashew cheese pockets, and turmeric ginger tea I had on my visits there were all delicious and of high quality. The staff here really make you feel at ease. I was only in SD for 4 days but I did get a sad having to say bye to Ashley on the last day, haha. I'll definitely visit again in the future! read more

History

Established in 2020.

Like millions of Americans we woke up one day laid-off and in a pandemic; Feeling lost and uncertain about the future, we found ourselves still going through our daily motions of rising up, sipping our morning coffee, but instead of heading to work, we had this unique situation that allowed us to do what WE love for the day; So we thought why not do this everyday? RISE. SIP. SURF. became our new daily motions; and it was on the premise of doing what you love that Pump Coffee was born. Our mission is to bring back the mom & pop coffee shop and provide a place where the community can come together and discover what it is they love to do, over a cup of what we love. "do what you love, love what you do"

This seemed like a PB…read morestaple so I figured checking this out, especially with the sign of "Home of America's Best Mocha." Here has my experience: AMBIANCE Parking: Welcome to Pacific Beach! Street parking is available, but depending on the day and time, finding a spot can be an adventure of its own. Give yourself some extra time, especially on the weekends. Do public transportation if you can. Seating: Limited seating both indoor and outdoor. Room for maybe 20 people. Vibes: Welcome to PB. What's cool is that you're a few steps away from Crystal Pier and the beach, then you got your PB things from local beach goers to some fun random events. The spot itself is nothing too flashy. It has your nice pop music playing with some photos of their drinks and their accolades. Good for a grab and go but if you need a break from the heat, this is a chill (no pun intended). FOOD/DRINKS Funky Monkey Mocha (Recommend) This was good. What's not to love - banana, peanut butter, and chocolate. Fich mocha with a nice fruity sweetness of banana and that nutty taste from the peanuts. A fun and desert like drink that gives you a good caffeine kick. CUSTOMER SERVICE Great! Down-to-earth and welcoming. The menu was overwhelming but I had helpful service. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good coffee, reasonable prices, and a fun selection that gives this little PB coffee shop its identity. Nothing flashy just simple drinks with growing flavors to reflect the diversity of people that come and visit. Their maybe many coffee shops in this are but it had a good charm. Much love to the Kozoglu family and the Pacific Bean team for holding it down! TIPS: - Definitely explore the signature mocha menu--there are A LOT of choices.

I stumbled upon this adorable coffee shop during my ongoing mission to explore as many coffee spots as possible while visiting my daughter, and I must say, it did not disappoint. Nestled in a strip mall, we decided to take a leisurely stroll to this charming establishment. The gentleman behind the counter greeted us with genuine warmth and knowledge. He recommended their signature drink, the dirty chai latte--a delightful blend of chai latte infused with two shots of espresso. Trusting his expertise, I eagerly ordered it. The shop itself exuded cleanliness, creating a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. And let's talk about the coffee--it was simply delicious. Each sip carried the perfect balance of flavors, leaving me thoroughly satisfied. What truly impressed me was the outstanding customer service. The staff went above and beyond, providing an experience that deserves an A+ rating. Without a doubt, I will be returning to this coffee shop. It has definitely earned a special place in my list of favorites. read more

Pump Coffee is so worth the hype! Yes, there may be a line out the door, especially on weekend mornings...but the staff keeps things moving fast, and I had my drink in hand within minutes. The decor is super cute and beachy, perfect for the Pacific Beach vibe. I got the iced white mocha, and it was absolutely delicious... smooth, sweet, and just the right caffeine kick for my day. I'll definitely come back when visiting the area. Highly recommend read more

The issue isn't your staff--they've always been friendly, welcoming, and helpful. My concern is that so many people are using the tables as workspaces while connected to the Wi-Fi that it's become difficult for paying customers to find a place to sit and simply enjoy a conversation over coffee. I hope you'll consider creating some guidelines for Wi-Fi use, such as designating a few tables for people working on laptops and leaving the remaining seating available for customers who want to relax and socialize. There are also outdoor benches and other public seating that could be used by those working for extended periods. Right now, it feels like the balance has shifted away from creating a welcoming coffeehouse atmosphere for your patrons. I truly like your location and appreciate your excellent staff, but until this changes, I'm sorry to say I won't be returning.

They offer infused flavored coffee to flavor their coffee. The hospitality was welcoming. The young lady who made my beverage was super nice and informative. They do play the music a little loud, but then again I am older and prefer more quieter sounds.
