Great service and as a Christian love the theme and talking to the owner, the team, quality and integrity of the employees go hand-in-hand

"Milk & Honey"
Christopher G.

I was at Shepherds for the second time today, and I enjoyed it the first visit, but the second time blew me away! My friend and I ordered a coconut strawberry cold foam matcha, a "milk & honey", and a straight espresso shot. Everything was very, very tasty. The espresso was super smooth and had some fun hints of chocolate and fruit behind it; the matcha was good, and the cold foam topping was exquisite; and the milk & honey special drink was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The interior is pretty industrial-vibes, with exposed ceiling and concrete floors, but it's a nice space. They have a small barber shop subletting, you can sit outside in the side yard, and there is a living-room style set up with couches and armchairs right next to the bar. Good people here, too! Worth checking out, one of my favorite coffee shops in San Diego currently.

Pistachio cold foam latter with Oat milk

This place has amazing coffee! So cute and great energy I really enjoyed the ambiance. The workers were so nice and I really enjoyed the service. Will be coming here again to try more flavors. I had the pistachio latte with oat milk

Roast their own coffee!!

One of the best coffees I've ever had. Cute little shop tucked away next to a barber shop in a residential area. Thought I'd give this small business a try and boy am i glad I did! The owner is super sweet, and was able to make a macchiato with lechera flavor, also tried their vanilla latte with oat milk. The only sad part was that they didn't have Large yet (one size drinks). My husband inhaled his in like 5 minutes. Parking can be tricky, but if in the area, give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!!

This is a cool spot for coffee and tea. I had a cortado and it was very good. It was a little sour towards the end but very smooth and rich up front with a good follow though. They also offer could brew and specialty coffees and beverages. It's really lade back here. There inside a collective and share a spot with Otter Stop Barber Shop. They offer inside seating. The staff members were very nice and friendly.

Some of the best coffee I've ever had. I've tried a few of the drinks and they're all good. The black shepherd and the pistachio cold foam are both bomb! Recommend!!

Great coffee, the best service, the nicest people, and an awesome environment to come with all the family. A lot of room throughout the shop. I had their drip coffee and cortado with a guava cheese danish. I love Shepherds!

Cortado Excellent service Apple Crumble Latte Dig the vibes Parking could be a challenge, but totally worth it. Haven't seen my husband finish a latte in such a quick amount of time!

Shepherds is seriously my favorite coffee shop! They even roast their own beans in house which is so cool. The couches are comfy and good music is always playing. The staff is so friendly, and the owners are the best! My go to is the iced mockiatto, but you can't go wrong with anything you choose. Syrups are top notch and expertly crafted. The strawberry matcha is another favorite when I'm not feeling coffee. I look forward to waking up every day and coming to Sheps. When they're closed on Sundays and Mondays I'm lost because I don't know where to go for my coffee fix! Thankfully San Diego has so many incredible coffee shops, but Shepherds has my heart

Malia, Li, Roger, Sara, Diana, Miriam, and Belin are all AMAZING -- seriously some of the sweetest and most helpful people you'll ever meet. They always take the time to make sure you're happy, explain the menu, and make you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. And don't even get me started on the food and drinks -- everything is incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with so much care. You can tell they really put love into what they do. The vibe is cozy, fun, and positive, and the staff truly makes this place special. Achilles Coffee Roasters has become one of my favorite spots -- highly recommend to anyone looking for great coffee, amazing food, and the nicest people ever!

My vanilla latte had good flavor, but it wasn't as hot as I would have liked so you may want to request it to be extra hot (didn't need to leave lid off or use a sleeve). I wouldn't order the croissant again as it didn't seem fresh. Wasn't terrible, but seemed to be like a day old pastry. The staff was friendly and my order came out quick. There wasn't free wifi available (or I didn't find a sign with a password for the wifi), so this might not be a spot to do remote work.

They have seating inside with wood tables and some high tops and a little patio in the front as well. Staff was warm and welcoming. I like the fact that they had a variety of everything like omelette, French toast, açaí bowls, pastries and of course a variety of coffee. I opted for a rose late and an açaí bowl. We got our order within 10min. The açaí bowl was perfect with strawberries, bananas, granola and a honey drizzle. For the price, you get a generous portion that was absolutely filling. The coffee was amazing, it actually tasted like coffee, wish they had a location in Los Angeles.

The female barista never smiles, performs like you're bothering her or maybe thats her resting face. She was there the third week of May. This is my second time visiting and she still gives an annoyed vibe. She was the only worker there so maybe she was overwhelmed. I let it go the first time but two days later she was with a second worker and still had a sour attitude. On the other hand, the cashier was exceptionally nice and very helpful. I will continue to purchase beans because for organic prices and the quality they are a cut above, however I don't like my latte served with a side of bad attitude. Santee.

The coffee is genuinely excellent, and I love that they offer interesting in-house and seasonal flavors. I almost always try one of their seasonal lattes, and they never disappoint. My most recent order was a blood orange basil latte - subtle, unique, and still packed with flavor. They also have a great selection of pastries to pair with your drink. The staff are always friendly, and there's indoor seating if you want to stay awhile. It can get busy and there's often a line, which is usually a good sign. Parking can be a little tricky since it's South Park, but I can usually find something within a couple of blocks. Honestly, it's one of my favorite spots in the area for a coffee date before yoga and catching up with my bestie. Good coffee, good conversation, and a cute South Park stroll afterward is pretty much the perfect combo. Overall, a fantastic neighborhood coffee shop with creative drinks, quality coffee, and a welcoming atmosphere.

The garlic aioli is so good. I usually ask for hot sauce salsa which is also made in house so good! It always hits! Usually Ianna is my barista and she is awesome! Today I went by for my usual and looks like they moved the cash wrap area like rotated everything around! I need to try a different menu item but don't sleep on this place. Honesty, the location would be the reason I don't come enough but actually I have been lucky to find decent parking whenever I come. Today one of the servers/cooks named Gil gave me two hot sauces instead of 2 (yay because it's so good) He was super nice. Everyone is friendly and this is definitely a spot to try if you ever walk by. It is an outdoor shop. They have seating outside with a few umbrellas. Elliot served me my drink and he was super fast and nice. I like how they have a chart with all the employees names on there. I do notice sometimes they get a huge line but I've never waited to long for my items. Of course-I'll be back many more times. (Also they have other locations but I haven't tried them so I will one day to compare-not sure if they have the same food menu items).

It's tucked into a cute neighborhood near Logan Heights. We came around 9 a.m., and street parking was easy to find. There was already a line when we arrived, but it moved pretty quickly. The baristas were friendly and welcoming, and I thought the prices were really reasonable for San Diego. I ordered the black sesame matcha, and my husband got the Piloncillo. The matcha was creamy, rich, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. One thing to know if you're ordering matcha or a latte--they only offer oat milk, not almond milk. My husband loved his coffee and said the espresso was smooth, flavorful, and let the coffee shine without being overcomplicated. The shop itself is really cool too. There's an art installation inside, an outdoor patio with additional seating, and I noticed quite a few people picking up bags of espresso beans while we were there.
