Communal Coffee

Communal Coffee is an absolute gem! I had their Latte and the Spiced Pumpkin Latte—both were amazing. The lattes were perfectly crafted with rich, smooth flavors, and the Spiced Pumpkin Latte had just the right amount of seasonal warmth. The café itself has such a cool, welcoming vibe with its unique decor and cozy atmosphere. It’s a great spot to relax, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a quiet coffee. Highly recommend for any coffee lover!

It’s good coffee. Cute place. BUT $15 +tip for this….?😓 small piece of bread, lack of prosciutto. I wanna support small businesses and local coffee shops. But I think I’m done. It’s delicious. But I truly realized I can make this at home. It’s 4 ingredients. No cook time. Needs to just be better priced. This was clearly not made with love 😂

My experience was nice the place is always busy most of the time for students every time I go it’s hard to find a spot to sit and I don’t mind to sear at the bar because there’s always flowers and I can even see wen hey are designing the bouquets (they are for sale) if you like flowers definitely you got to set at the bar. The only issue is the parking lot, but if you’re patient you’ll find one.

Well designed interior with earthy greens as a pop of color amongst clean whites and wood tones. Things you should know: I. PARKING Limited parking on the back side (3 spaces) & street parking available II. SERVICE I liked that Communal Coffee offers a self-service water station. What makes this cafe unique is the on-sight florist. They run out of pastries by the early evening, so it's safe to say their supply is very limited but fresh. Coffee and alcohol are both served here. There's also indoor and outdoor seating. III. QUALITY Their red wine, here, is pretty good ~ highly recommend. I don't advise, however, sitting in the wood chairs by the dish drop off area because bugs WILL get into your food/drink. It was the only seating available during my visit and I was disgusted to find 3 nats in my singular glass of wine. IV. CAPACITY Packed on the weekends. This place is lively. I would try and visit during a weekday to get more available seat options.

Latte flight was alright, good flavor options but “flight” is misleading as its only 2 lattes (I’d usually think of a flight as 3+🤷‍♀️). The sausage bfast sandwich was alright, too sweet for my taste. The woman who took our order was extremely gregarious and a delight to talk to. There was little to no seating Saturday morning @ 9am. Wouldn’t recommend as a quiet place to study/work on the weekends. It was jam packed to the near brim. Parking is difficult to find on the surrounding residential streets, be prepared to circle the neighborhood a few times before securing a spot.

The pumpkin spice latte, burrito, and almond croissant were so frothy and tasty!

AMBIENCE: Pretty cool interior, and outdoor area & right next to a small plant nursery. A cool spot to have coffee for sure. Almost everyone inside were working on their laptops. So it's pretty quiet. FOOD: Coffee had great taste but the matcha donut wasn't my jam. OVERALL: You can either catch up with friends or get some work done here. Not a bad place to stop for coffee.

Communal Coffee is a beautiful coffee and boutique shop nestled in San Diego's North Park neighborhood. It has become my go-to spot for the best matcha lattes in town. Every time I visit, I am greeted with a delicious matcha latte that perfectly balances sweetness. The staff here consistently achieves the ideal level of sweetness, which is impressive. One of the things I love about Communal Coffee is its aesthetic appeal. Not only is it beautiful, but it also offers ample seating areas where you can relax and hang out. Additionally, there is a charming tiny boutique filled with delightful items like books, clothing, and candles. It's a perfect way to pass the time while waiting for your order or simply exploring the shop. Finding parking can be challenging, and certain days of the week tend to be more crowded. However, Communal coffee remains my top choice for indulging in matcha lattes and is an excellent place to unwind or get work done.
