Torque Coffee - Iced latte!! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Diego, California

I love this little neighborhood gem! The coffee is awesome, with tasty roasts, unique flavors, and creative craft drinks. The food is good too! I especially like the biscuits - they have a great airy texture with good moisture, and a nice crunch on the outside. I live nearby and have regularly patronized Torque since they've opened. It has been cool to see how they've cultivated a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff is always sooo friendly and so are the patrons. Every time I'm there, people from the neighborhood are often casually chatting and exchanging pleasantries. Feels like a real 3rd place in the community around El Cajon Blvd where there aren't a ton of other places like this in walking distance. read more

Chemex filters, aero press filters, baratza grinders, better water powder... everything I need for my fancy coffee habit. Thank you!

Came here after seeing the reviews and buying a great Groupon bargain (still available last time I checked). Second visit and will be back again soon to finish up my credit. The family and I all enjoyed the drinks we got. Thanks, Torque! read more

By far one of the most underrated coffee spots in SD. I honestly wished I would have known about this place sooner because their lattes are some of the best I've had in SD. Taylor is such a Gem of a barista. For sure coming back! read more

Torque Coffee - Dirty Chai with Cocoa - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here for a book swap, loved the vibe! I ordered the brioche breakfast and the iced coffee blossom. Despite the fact they were super busy, everyone's orders came quick + mine was super tasty :) 10/10 would come back read more

This coffee shop is for the adventurous soul. If you like experimenting with coffee drinks this is the place for you. They have unique flavors. I got the palo santo drink and for that they put palo santo into their honey to make the honey have a unique earthy/woody flavor. I've only every smelled palo santo so to taste it was an experience. I loved it. The drink itself was a little bit on the sweet side but I was amazed at the flavor. I got their waffles to go and it was a little on the burnt side (which I actually liked-- a little bit of the sweet and a little bit of the charred side). I would def come back again. The cafe is small with only a handful of seats if you're planning to do work here. I see it more as a grab and go kind of place. The crew here was really nice. read more

Great vibes and great coffee! Help and knowledgeable baristas! Highly recommended this spot!

I'm so stoked this spot is finally open. The staff is super friendly and they really care about sourcing, roasting, and making great coffee. I really appreciate that they will fill bulk jars with fresh roasted beans to reduce waste from the bags. read more

Thanks for the "soft" soft opening. Cannot wait tot see the interior finished up in September! Really delicious hot cortado. Will frequent! read more

Decent coffee but grossly over priced for what you get. Service was mediocre. Strange but they are openly anti American. Edit: the barista said it is an americano but we call it a Mexicano because "American sucks" with two thumbs down. read more

Good coffee and nice people! Taylor is charming. Ole is friendly. Elias is fierce. And the red harmony is delicious.

Cute spot with great coffee and lots of varietals. Love the ethos and quirky atmosphere. Will be back!

Just tried Torque today! I went in for a gift card but got swept up in the menu. The specialty drinks are amazing. I had the figgie pudding and it did not disappoint. I appreciate the earth friendly packaging and attention to detail. You have to see their vending machine, it's fun and unexpected! Service was great and North Park has a hidden gem here. I will be back to try all the things. read more

After years of avoiding making a Yelp account I've gone out of my way to make one just to say that this may be a top contender for best coffee shop in San Diego.

Had a great first experience! Got an iced Figgy Pudding latte that was really good, I also loved that they're the only coffee shop in town I've noticed to sell their iced drinks in compostable cups!

The vibe is great! Love the vending machine and art on the walls. The baristas were friendly and the espresso was great! They were also super accommodating and kind about my allergies! Will definitely be back! read more

Amazing team behind the bar! And careful consideration for any questions with a not so standard way to order. I love the ratio espresso/matcha to milk way to order! (And it's a bonus they don't charge for alternative milk!). Be sure to come early to get a bite of those buttermilk biscuits because they're a delight. And the espresso is very carefully pulled as well! Amazing spot worth checking at the top of your list! read more
