Yipao Coffee - S San Diego

Best coffee in San Diego. Great people who own the shop

They offer some limited Colombian coffees on pour over. I tried the Gesha Dinasty which had some really unique flavors! They operate from a counter facing the sidewalk, but they have limited seating on the sidewalk 2 small tables with 2 chairs each.

Reading these reviews, I think we came on an off day and I ordered the wrong thing. There was only one person working on a Sunday morning and the line was slammin' I felt so bad for the employee! I got a cold brew with almond milk and the flavor just wasn't there for me. I'm not sure if it was watery or overly milky or what, but I didn't taste that strong Colombian coffee flavor that I was expecting. For a pretty pricey cup of coffee I was bummed. My partner got an iced mocha that was very good albeit light on the espresso as well. I'll definitely have to come back and re try :

Excellent! This is a little coffee pick-up window that’s part of a larger brewery. By far some of the best coffee I’ve found in San Diego. The barista was very friendly and the stand was orderly and neat. The brewery has parking in back of the building. Prices were great!

Friendly service and nicely prepared bright double espresso and cortado with oat milk. Only downside is limited seating (1 tiny table or stools) to rest your legs for a few minutes and enjoy it. It’s a stand-up pop-up coffee shop.
