James Coffee Co. 4379 30th Street, San Diego, CA 92104

"The coffee sodas here are my new addiction - They're well crafted and they give me the effervescent feel of an energy drink while tasting like a gourmet espresso. The building is cool too, with a balcony that overlooks 30th St. The staff learned my name after a week and that showed a level of genuine service I don't see at most places. I'd give this spot 6 stars if I could and this has managed to become my favorite coffee house serving North Park/Normal Heights."

"Great coffee drinks. Ordered a Mexican Mocha with oat milk as well as a matcha latte with oat milk. Both were very tasty."

"Phenomenal little coffee shop. I know there are a few locations, I have only been to the Little Italy location….so far. The coffee is great there, I’ve never had anything but the best customer service. The environment is super relaxed, great way to spend any morning just reading emails and drinking coffee. There are also cool little shops inside the same building. Since I’m not from California I always make sure that I leave with merch and bags of beans that way I can enjoy the coffee from home."

"I love this local North Park gem. My go to drink is a oat milk cappuccino with a little bit of honey. Their coffee beans are roasted well and have a deep flavour that isn’t bitter. This location is in a quiet area of North Park and the cafe is a nice place to read a book. I also like their croissant and their ham and cheese bear claw."

"Good coffee and lots of outdoor seating. I appreciate that they actually serve the drinks in mugs or glasses. They have almond milk and oat milk for $1 extra and their mocha is dairy-free (dark chocolate)."
