    Talitha Coffee
    Liz G.

    I just needed a quick bite. I stopped at Talitha Coffee, located in a super walkable area. Service was efficient. I ordered their Big Breakfast Sandwich but I substituted the sausage for avocado. It was really good but if you like meat, I'd recommend sticking with the sausage it comes with or the also substitute with bacon. I feel like the sandwich needs that savory bit, but it's really tasty even if you go with the avocado like I did. And I ordered their butterscotch latte which was really good, well balanced with the sweet butterscotch and coffee flavors. The ambiance is casual. There's lots of seating indoors and some outside. It would be a good place to work, study, or catch up with a friend. It also worked well to just stop in and grab a bite to go.

    Talitha Coffee in Bankers Hill is my favorite post-workout or post-walk ritual. It's the perfect spot to head after a class at Yoga Deck or a stroll through Balboa Park. They have a great selection of coffee, and I love that they always have a light roast available. The staff here is always friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even better. Unlike some cafes, the food is also a standout--the pastries, breakfast burritos, and sandwiches are all delicious. Take your pick; you won't be disappointed. There is plenty of seating both indoors and out, making it one of my top five favorite coffee spots in all of San Diego!

    I love trying new places when I'm in different areas. This cafe was easily accessible right on the corner with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The inside is clean and welcoming and the baristas make sure to say hello and goodbye. The menu isn't too extensive but that's not always a bad thing. I told them what I liked and they recommended a drink. It did not disappoint. I also got the monkey cinnamon roll pull apart muffin warmed up and it was so good! I wish I got two! There is plenty of indoor space if you wanted to bring a laptop and work. I would def visit again.

    I had previously visited WestBean at this location when I was in town. Now, it's Talitha Coffee. Same setup, it seems, with the same opening time and similar options. Came here two mornings in a row. If you're an early riser like me, you so wish that they were open before 7. With the nearby Starbucks now closed, Talitha and many of the other coffee shops all open at 7, so if you don't brew your own, you have to wait. First morning I came, I had a great cup of coffee. I just need plain brewed coffee: no flavors, no jiz-jazzy stuff, just plain, good coffee. Nailed it the first day I was here. Second morning: wow, someone was half-asleep when they brewed it. Or so it seemed to me. Grinds in the coffee cup and one of the most bitter cups of coffee I've had. Drank about half of it and couldn't stomach the rest. Consistency is key with coffee, and Talitha didn't deliver for me. Disappointing, which is why the 3 stars - an even split from great to yuk. Perhaps I'll give them one more shot, but if I don't brew my own, I'll walk up a few blocks for an alternative if I feel adventurous.

    Talitha Coffee on Laurel and 4th...palm trees and sunshine in San Diego
    Henri V.

    Talitha Coffee shop is located on Laurel/4th across from Postal Annex. This shop opened over a month ago in Banker's Hills, and it took over the space formerly held by West Bean. Street parking can be a challenge. Open EVERYDAY 7:00am-2:00pm I've stopped in post workout and or post power walking with Fendi at Balboa Park nearby. The menu offers simple and complex options of coffee. Really like the matcha and iced Americano with 6 espresso shots!! Pastry selections is limited and are not house made. Other food options made here available too. Service is helpful. The interior offers lots of seating, perfect for work/study sesh. Love the basic cool cement floors, soaring ceiling height and shaded outdoor seating. Good Vibes. Other than their great potent coffee, one of the outstanding features about Talitha is their mission for a good cause...every purchase helps those victims change lives through hiring, training, and holistic support of sex trafficking survivors. So their vibrant wall art says 'Hope Roasted,' is what it means. Recommend

    Dragon matcha and fallin for you (pumpkin chai)
    Arnold T.

    Friendly staff. Bagel and small cheese cream packet only $3.50 - bagel is basic but better than grocery store bagels. Dragon Matcha is good but I really could not taste the dragonfruit. Fallin for you (pumpkin chai) is very cinnamony. Dog friendly.

    Falling for you (pumpkin chai) had a shit added.
    Curt T.

    Omg. The falling for you chai is freaking delicious. The pumpkin flavor really comes out and the extra shot just made it so much better. Cinnamon pumpkin deliciousness. One of the best fall drinks I've ever had. The draggin' matcha is ok. Quite flavorful for sure. The bagel was toasted great and the cream cheese is a pre packaged container but it was good. The service was good and quick. I'll be back for this pumpkin chai for sure!!! I wish they had this year round!!!

    Avocado Toast & Drip Coffee
    Jack M.

    I enjoyed a nice avocado toast and hot drip black coffee from this new coffee shop. The toast came on a locally baked artisan sourdough bread. The toast came with plenty of freshly sliced avocado, sea salt, crushed black pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic. The toast was very tasty, but the sourdough was harder than it should of been. It was difficult to slice with the metal butter knife. The drip coffee was strong but a smooth cup of coffee. They offer locally baked goods and have plenty of inside and outside seating. The service was very nice.

    Flat white
    Salman S.

    Stopped by Talitha post lunch in Little Italy for a coffee. The shop is located quite close to Balboa park and 5th ave with some street parking nearby. The outside of the building had some scaffolding up but there was a sign that allowed us to locate the shop quickly. The inside is quite spacious with two large rooms to sit and savor your drinks. The main room is where you order your drinks and there are some seats by the window to look outside whilst the other room is windowless and dark. I ordered a flat white to go, unfortunately the drink had been prepared at a very high temperature and the result wasn't as sweet as it should be. Was quite average of a cup and I couldn't tell if it was the barista's poor extraction of the espresso or the beans themselves. Will have to give them another chance at another location.

    New coffee shop alert
    Cheryl G.

    Quick stop in a new coffee shop located where WestBean used to be in Banker's Hill. I'm absolutely loving the colorful branding. We walked in and were greeted immediately. The gentleman made an awesome latte for me and a flat white for my fiancé. Both were above average for the area. The coffee had a nice rich flavor, but was not bitter at all and he got that foam with just the right amount of creaminess. They had a couple interesting things on the menu. There's an Arnold Palmer made with nitro black tea that I will definitely be coming back for on a nice hot day. I saw a few pastries and conchas but wasn't in the market at the moment for a sweet treat. There's also a small menu of food items. This is in a great location about a block away from Balboa Park and a block away from my favorite yoga studio. I'm sure I will be visiting here often!

    Bertha B.

    Such a nice spot!! Very clean, service is amazing and professional. So many options to choose from, my daughter told me the burritos are her favorite, the Tots are delicious.

    Walking around liberty station on a school night, I needed a pick me up and we happen to be seated at a table on from of Talitha. Super cute and no lines. Coffee was good. Extra espresso shot did it for me to last the night.

    Butterscotch Iced Latte
    Vivian T.

    The Butterscotch latte will do it for me everytime! It's been my go to and has stayed that way even when it was West Bean Coffee. I've had enough cups of these to write a review and I've found nothing close to it anywhere else! It is super sweet, so I try to indulge in it once in a while or lessen the sugar. The service is always fast and I really like the location of the cafe. It's a great spot for being productive or if you want to eat and lounge. I'd highly recommend this local coffee shop if you are around Bankers Hill!

    Goldchild Coffee Roasters in downtown San Diego is one of the best spots for coffee that I've…read morerecently stumbled upon. I actually found this place when doing research for top-tier cold brew in San Diego county. It's a chic, cozy, and not overly-pretentious coffee spot on Broadway in downtown that really embraces a black, gold, and deep blue color scheme. I ordered a cold brew in a to-go cup, and the clerk welcomed me to sit in the shop as long as I wanted despite that. They had a specialized machine to create the cold brew through slow drip, which was unusual and cool. The bathroom, by the way, was also really clean and nice--bizarrely gaudy in its presentation and contrast with the rest of the shop, but clean as hell and cozy. My cold brew was complex, flavorful, and overall a joy to drink. I hung out and people watched for a while. Then I sipped on my way down along Broadway toward where I parked. The only downside of this experience is the parking situation. It's very difficult to find parking within 4 blocks of this location, so be ready for a quick jaunt. Otherwise you'll likely have to pay for parking. That alone could range from $2-15 for 30 minutes, depending on whether you find a meter or have to use a garage.

    The people here are great, and the ambiance is modern, hip-hop-forward, and super chill. It's a…read moregreat spot if you genuinely love coffee and prefer something more coffee-forward, this isn't really a syrup-heavy, super-sweet coffee shop. The coffee itself gets to be the star. The food selection is limited, but what they do have is very good. The focaccia was soft, buttery, and delicious honestly, more of a cross between fluffy bread and traditional focaccia in my opinion. The mascarpone was lovely too and paired really well with it. Overall, a really cool spot with good people, great vibes, and quality coffee.

I came here on a Sunday morning and with about 5 people in front of me I expected it to take a little bit wait, but not 30 minutes. I commiserated with my fellow line mates, gawking at how the line had gotten out the door, without moving! "Are we at Disneyland in line for a broken ride?" We watched as the sole barista on the bar chatted away with a friend about a business idea or clothing brand or something animatedly for ages! Cool, catch up with your friends, but also...can you please make us coffee? Then, the only cashier decided to leave his post to refill napkins, and restock ice. When I finally made it to the register the employee said "we are pretty backed up it'll be about a 25 minute wait on food or espresso drinks". You're kidding. I was forced to order a hot coffee (which I never drink - not bad actually) to save time and get back to my business. As I was leaving the customer who had chatted with the barista for 20 minutes and wasted everyone's time got BACK IN LINE! If there are events in the area you need to STAFF ACCORDINGLY. Get your act together, this is an embarrassment to the Bird Rock name.
