Comment: Coffee & Tea is the place to go if youre looking for a high quality coffee drink served with care and a smile. Get there early if youd like a delicious pastry. You can always count on yummy seasonal drinks. I know theres several options in San Diego when it comes to getting your favorite latte or drip coffee, but in my opinion Coffee & Tea is the best.

Comment: Delicious coffee and very friendly service. Parking may be a little tough if youre not ok with a short walk, and outdoor seating is next to the very busy El Cajon, obviously. However, there is plenty of comfortable indoor seating with tables if you need to get a little work or studying done.

Comment: Truly a gem in San Diego. This is one of a couple real specialty or third wave shops. The baristas here really take care in their craft and make sure you have a great experience. Extremely knowledgeable about the coffees they serve. Looking forward to recommending this place and coming back for more well extracted beans.

Comment: The coffee is wonderful. The shop has a good ambiance. Coffee is always Full bodied and Strong. Service is always friendly. Bought a whole bean bag for home ☕️ too.Last time we went here for a coffee I got a cappuccino and my wife got a latte. Some places (ahem Starbucks) don’t make strong and tasty coffee. This place does. The cappuccino was bold and perfectly frothed. Got me wired for the day ahead!The pastry 🥐 we had was a handmade toaster strudel (egg and bacon). They don’t make the pastries but get them from some A+ shops. This particular prime piece of pastry perfection was from the bakery pop up Freshman Year. Why is the pastry selection important? Because anyone who has a coffee shop of quality knows that the coffee must be paired with a little bite for maximum impact. These shopkeepers / baristas know this, and hit the mark on their delicious coffee and their simple yet superb pastry offerings.Great coffee, service, pastries, and ambiance. Keep up the great work!

I’m actually going to miss their faces when I move next month. The atmosphere is divine with gorgeous rotating art installations. I’ve tried all the coffee shops in this neighborhood and these guys take the cake. Thanks for all the lovely coffee experiences Coffee & Tea Collective.♥️ ☕️ 🧠🌈🌦

Comment: Neighborhood third-wave coffee staple. Roasting on-site, every drink is fresh and prepared using top-shelf equipment and technique. I’ve been coming here regularly from their first year in operation, and this has become my personal baseline for every other shop I visit, and few measure up. Coffee purists: This is your spot.

Comment: As you can see from my photos, this place is cool. We got there right when they opened and it was packed. So obviously it was good right? Right. I waited maybe 10 minutes for all the drinks to be served (it must have been like 10 people ahead of me) and got mine. I got a latte drink with orange in it and it was delicious, it might have been the Raleigh drink. They played like hard-core music too. Very Cottage core vibes. Anyways if youre in the area, scope it out.

Comment: A small coffee (& tea) shop off El Cajon. I came for an after hours music event, but was still able to treat myself to a delicious veggie hummus tart and the evenings signature drink: Plumdog Millionaire. So. Good. I hope it can win a place on the regular menu!! Also, they have matcha in addition to some other looseleaf teas. C&T FTW!

Comment: Woah. I just ordered an espresso because here because there was no whipped cream for a con panna, and its BAD. Undrinkable bad & super sour :/ wont go back even though I like the location. Also, I ordered a double and I was charged $3 (the price of one shot) so I thought maybe he was just giving me a deal but alas, I only got a single.

The place has very limited sitting, so my wife and I had to sit at the bar. By the time we left it was super awkward because the place had filled up with weird looking hipsters that were giving us the you dont belong here look 😂

Comment: Such a cute, minimalistic interior! This place is the definition of a hipster cafe. They have simple, but delicious coffee and really cute decor. A must go to for those who love coffee shops and taking cute photos.We ordered a chai latte and a mocha. Both were very bitter, which I dont particularly mind but if you want a sweeter drink Id avoid these. The people who made our coffee were very friendly and inviting. This is a great place to have a coffee date as the vibe is super chill. There is a counter running along one of the sides of the walls with a few tall chairs. The other wall has a huge table that looks like a good place to study, but it might be crowded during the day.I would definitely come here again just for the atmosphere of the place. Parking is pretty bad as this is in the Hillcrest area so be weary. This is place coffee lovers must go to at least once!

Comment: Very cool spot — similar to some more hip LA cafes, which I feel like are a bit tougher to come across in San Diego. Great coffee and tea drinks (and pastries), super friendly service, plenty of space to hang out, cool merchandise.

Comment: Tea and service were fine, though selection was limited. This is also not a good place to sit and work--way too small and too cramped. Atmosphere is very sterile. I would probably come back here if I was in the neighborhood and just wanted a drink, but I wouldnt go out of my way to come back since I prefer a homier atmosphere.

Comment: A great coffee, helpful staff and good products. I have had the cold brew here and really liked it, it wont get you as juiced as Dark Horse but it will adequately adjust your morning. We try to stop in every time we are in SD.

Comment: I dont like to go to any other coffee shop. I go there to get a pour over and my bag of beans every month. The atmosphere fits right in with North Park (super hipster) and the baristas are highly knowledgeable about their craft.

Comment: Coffee & Tea Collective have very knowledgeable baristas who accommodate your normal latte drinker all the way up to the snobby single origin pour-over dorks like myself. Considering all the other great coffee spots in SD, their roasts are dialed-in and add to the spectrum. Coffee aside, the space itself has a minimalist feel and is a perfect place to concentrate or relax. The neighborhood vibe is strong with this one.

Comment: This place is legit! Was in town for the weekend and looking for good coffee and most certainly was not disappointed. The interior is minimalist with some cool touches. The walls are white and they have the roasting equipment on site in the back. Super nice.I ordered a pour over of a Kenyan been and really enjoyed it. I ordered the bread with butter and cinnamon sugar, so dang good, I would eat this every morning.The location is cool with street parking in front and some side street parking around the area.

Comment: I found this place via Instagram, because (by design?) it is very instagrammable. Maybe its the hipsters who patronize this shop that make it so.This is where I go when Im craving a good (and pretty) latte. Its $4, so a bit more than I usually pay for a latte - but I usually go when Im treating myself.I believe their kind of known for their pour overs, but when I go out for coffee, I like to get something I cant make at home.

Comment: I called here and the guy behind the counter was ridiculously helpful. Usually you can hear the annoyance creep into someones voice when you ask the a plethora of questions, but his stayed calm and collected, a true indicator that he is passionate about the bean. I didnt feel uncomfortable about knowing nothing about coffee, he was very nice when I came into the shop and ordered. I think this place also doubles as a pizza shop at night! Noiice!!

Comment: My favorite coffee shop in San Diego! Clean, contemporary, simple, and of course amazing coffee. I always get their cold brew iced coffee that they have on tap- delicious and freaking strong. Its obvious they are dedicated to their craft, youll see it in their lattes, slow drips, etc. I also love that they have local SD newspapers on hand, so you can plan your weekend of music, culture, activities. Highly recommend, and a must for all coffee lovers alike.

Comment: One of the few places in SD hat you can get legit pour over coffee, or a latte with a foam leaf. SD doesnt seem to have gotten that far yet. Coffee designs? Nah, weve got sunshine instead. C&TC does a great job bringing the craft coffee business to the forefront -- while also bringing some class to El Cajon. Stop by for a coffee and stay for the excellent study space. PS did I mention they do waffles as well?

Comment: Coming from Portland (coffee-snob capital of America), I was blown away by this place on two fronts: Their dedication to the advancement of coffee science/culture, and their refusal to make me an iced Americano. This is San Diego, its hot, and your iced coffee is way too expensive. Ice my Americano. Its my fault if its terrible. You admit that have ice, just ice it.That said, this is probably one of the best shops in town. There are places to sit down and get some work done.

Comment: Finally! A place where I can just be a coffee snob. Im a huge pour-over fan and they have a set up right there ready to go. The flavors in their coffee are a little different with some spice and berry tones, but its very bright and not too earthy, and totally delicious! I know Im stopping for coffee any time Im in this part of town.

Comment: I went to Coffee and Tea Collective for the first time on Saturday morning and I was impressed. The problem with some of these places is that the employees and baristas tend to have a condescending attitude towards newbies or unseasoned coffee drinkers. This was NOT the case at Coffee and Tea Collective. The service was great and everyone was friendly. Oh yeah, and the coffee was ridiculous. I will definitely be back.

Comment: Coffee & Tea Collective roast their beans with care and work hard to make each cup a pure representation of the coffees potential. It is a small, comfortable cafe that graciously provides wifi. Their concrete coffee bar has benches, but I find it the perfect height to use as a standing desk. Im 59 so I figure 2-3 inches up or down could do the same.
