This is excellent espresso. Ordered a double shot, a cortado (skim) and a caffe latte (soy). All were strong. The espresso shot was strong but smooth with a nice crema on top and zero bitterness or burnt flavour. The milk was volumized beautifully!! Thank you! Service was highly efficient and very friendly. Will definitely be back.

This is one of my favorite San Diego coffee spots, and my go to when I want a quick coffee break at work. The cold brew concoctions are incredible - Finest City tastes like coffee heaven. Food is also fantastic; Ive really enjoyed the veggie sandwich and build-your-own bagels.

Excellent service. Friendly barista. Great quality coffee.

Live right around the corner from this place so the convenience is the main draw. But they also serve delicious coffee. My husband and I enjoy the San Ysidro pour over. I’ve never tried their food but it looks great. The baristas are friendly and quality is consistent. I also like that it’s a walk up window. I usually have my toddler and dog with me so I don’t have to mess with going into a indoor place.

This place has some good food and amazing coffee for cheap. Fantastic service too.

As advertised, the Bankers Hill was truly a killer breakfast sandwich. (Love pretzel rolls!). The Swamis pour over blend coffee was reasonably priced and really good, the Park Blvd smoothie was great. Cappuccino and avocado toast were average. They had professional jazz musicians playing outside which was nice to stumble in on on a Saturday morning.

Very good coffee and a cute atmosphere! The San Ysidro and Gaslamp pour over coffees were delicious! Only a block from Donut Bar so my wife and I had a couple donuts with our coffee while listening to this good little string jazz band with four talented girls!

I stood out in the sun about 4 customers deep for more than 25 minutes for a decent cup of coffee. I know this place is hyped, not sure why.

Classy, inexpensive coffee bar! I highly recommend this shop to all my family and friends who enjoy coffee as well. Yesterday, I came here, and I was so pleased and fulfilled with the overall service. I like your staffs because they were so friendly and courteous. You deserve to be known to a lot of guys! Thank you very much for that.

Loved the espresso, loved the oat milk chai latte! The lid technology is fantastic for iced drinks. Thanks for the good vibes.

No I dont remember but apparently I was there April 21 2020 too. If the coffees good let me know.

Great place to pick up morning coffee if youre in downtown. Its more like a outdoor kiosk with seating around, but not a coffee shop or cafe. Great fast and helpful service and the brew is a thumbs up! I got the Almond latte, but there are specialty coffees on the menu all named after popular areas or landmarks of San Diego. Great for catch up with friends especially on a nice outdoor day!

Really really delicious coffee. First time having it and I tried an almond milk hazelnut/vanilla latte. Super surprised how good it tasted. Friendly guy barista as well :)

Fast and friendly, really seems they want to be there and make your morning run smooth

Nice place to grab a coffee and meet people, the music is very relax with rhythm and the outdoor with the water fountain is a good touch.

Delicious coffee by amazingly kind baristas.

Love the coffee here, and they have a nice selection of sandwiches as well. Live music outdoors on the weekends.

The most awesome employees in all of San Diego work here at this coffee shop. I love this coffee shop I mean love it and them.

The best pour over coffee I’ve found. I was extremely impressed with the barista, Cynthia, and her skill of the pour over. She had to remake my first coffee because it wasn’t just right. Just goes to show she takes pride in what she does. Delicious coffee. Would definitely recommend.

Moderately priced pour over coffee, I enjoyed the naming of each specific flavor such as the San Ysidro pour over I had, representative of a southern city in San Diego

Awesome food and drinks, but a few of the employees haven’t been wearing masks. I wish I could still give this place 5 stars. Hopefully they’ll do some training or something. They also aren’t actually asking customers to wear masks when ordering or standing at the counter.

100% recommended. Close to the best coffee I’ve had in California!! Very friendly staff

My first time here. Guy working the register sucks has an attitude problem. Short responses, on questionsabout sandwich. My advice better shops with much better customer service

Lovely spot for the sun, great vibe and nice music, food is lovely too, round the corner from another store in the same group, I go to this one of its sunny out and the other one if not - great veggie too

Its Friday and cant thank RC enough for making it a GOOD Friday during this rough time. Skilled, Respectful and Professional.You guys rock!Love the Nitro brew

Excellent quality and selection of food and coffee. Staff does a great job. However, the line moves far too slowly and coffee and sandwich plus tip $16 is a stretch. That price point is a tad high for takeout and there’s limited outdoor only seating. Is the Rey really putting the screws to them with the rent, are the food cost too high, or are they just operating at a very high profit margin? It’s impossible to know. I would like to see them continue to succeed, but the high price point and slow line are problems that need to be addressed.

Most excellent!

This is place for a great cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich. I was in San Diego for the weekend, staying at Marriott Pulse less than a block away, rather than have overpriced hotel breakfast we thought we would check this place out. So glad we did, coffee was amazing and we tried a different breakfast item on each of the 3 days day we went there. Theres plenty of outside seating, clean, and dog friendly.

This place gives me the coffee fix I need every time I visit whenever in SD. The scenery is relaxing, coffee satisfying, and the food is wonderful. Bankers Hill sandwich grew on me esp with the fig jam. I ordered a half-caf dark roast pour over. Staff were polite and apologized for asking so many clarifying questions before my morning coffee. Ill have to check out their other location... Eventually

I ordered the Pt. Loma off of their breakfast menu, and it was a delicious, balanced breakfast. I also had one of their pour overs, of which there were many delicious options! Service was good, and since it is a walk-up counter they are dog-friendly. There are also tables to sit at if you have time, but on a Monday morning it seemed like most customers were on their way to work (the wait was

Great cold brew

Seriously good coffee.

Amazing coffee, great playlist

Great coffee, food and staff! Plus to get to enjoy it all while sitting outside! You cant ask for much more!

I had been coming there every morning for coffee and it was fine. I was loyal. One day I looked at the food menu and the manager said were out of everything on the menu with meat (which is literally everything). All we have is bread and cheese.I said, ok, Im hungry, how bout just bread and cheese toasted.. how much?The manager replied with an arrogant six bucks. I dont change the price for you. ($6 is the price of a full sandwich with egg and ham and cheese and such.)I said, what do you mean I come here all the time with my Boxer dog and order food and coffee and always leave a tip and youre gonna charge me full price for bread and cheese??I evoking my right to refuse service to you. You are no longer welcome here.Meanwhile people standing behind me are flabbergasted like I am at what just happened so I told him he can take his coffee shove it cause thats BS. Dont know the guys name but he has a strong middle-eastern accent

One of the great coffee places in SD.

There is not much to say. Achilles Coffee has wonderful coffee at a great location with an amazing staff! All the cold brews are amazing. Try them all!

Great ritual coffee spot. Pourovers, coldbrew, few pastries, nice staff

Very good! Great service!

I love this place! Nice people! Nice vibes! Love the coffe! Living in Italy I mean it when I say it is a real coffe rare to find in San Diego 😊

DOMO,THOMAS,JOSHUA ARE THE BEST!!! They all go out of there way to provide the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I´ve ever had...Thank you all! KEEP BEING AWESOME AT ACHILLES!!!!

When I grab a donut at the donut bar I like to go here where I can sit outside to enjoy the morning with a very good coffee.The coffee here is very good.

These guys are awesome! They rock the coffee ☕ 😁

Amazing coffee and their food is great as well!

I dont say this lightly - I am OBSESSED. During a recent trip to SD, I came here every day (on two days, I came TWICE).Its not often you find a coffee spot doing new, fun, and creative things. Theyre doing those here--and more--at Achilles. And their food is DELICIOUS on top of the exceptional coffee choices.Coffee wise - their Aztec is BOMB. I had the barista do mine with nitro cold brew .. nothing short of heaven in my mouth. Here I am at home in Austin wishing I was sipping on that.Cant wait to return when Im back in SD!

Really liked the variety of the coffees offered in this place! Went three times during a weeks stay in San Diego, and will look forward to visiting there again when I next return!

Great our over coffee. The barista was very friendly and funny. I will be back.

Location, location, location! A great outdoors cafe with beautiful surroundings.Cold brew, dealers choice is simply delicious!

Prices are decent. Food is like a restaurant in Louisville I loved.

Great pour overs with fun names of the areas throughout San Diego. Prices are decent and I will return for sure.

Great coffee and conversation everytime I go. San Diego has alot of amazing coffee shops but this is definitely in my top 5.

Great everything here. Cant go wrong.

Love those guys!great coffee thanks for the excellent service!

Awesome location and amazing coffee. I’m a big fan of the soy vanilla latte, loyalty program, and Apple Pay offerings!

Good coffee, pleasant staff, nice locations

Excellent pour over coffee and breakfast sandwiches.

Very good coffee, if you want something different then Starbucks

Great coffee and great atmosphere outside

Delicious coffee varieties and friendly staff.

Cute little patio with friendly barista, short walk away from City College. They do pourovers and cold brew.

The manager is a sweetheart who always make you feel welcome and Alex (barista) is super knowledgable about each of the different roasts they offer. He can craft a coffee beverage for each customers personal preference. Each drink feels like a custom/couture order. Every item on their Concoctions menu is sooo good and the Hillcrest breakfast sandwich has a nice, fluffy bread. Yum! Also appreciated is their choice to offer compostable straws.

Good coffee but a little pricey

Excellent nitro cold brew.

Best coffee roasters in the city. Hoping they add more locations soon.

What a great find! Tasty, smooth espresso and a variety of very good thoughtful sandwiches, toasts, etc. Attentive service

The baristas have great barside manner.

Incredible pour overs, awesome breakfast sandwiches!

Great coffee in a cool outdoor-only* spot

Best coffee bar in San Diego. Great service!

Dont order food here. They took 20 minutes for a bagel and it wasnt even warm.

Good coffee every single time!
