Communal

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Communal and enjoyed an absolutely delightful ube latte. It was served hot and presented beautifully with its vibrant purple color and intricate foam designs. Each sip revealed new patterns in the foam, making the experience truly special Lily and Chloe were incredibly kind and patient, answering all my questions and ensuring I got the perfect drink. Their genuine care and attention made my visit memorable. Highly recommend this spot for both the delicious drinks and the exceptional service!

First time at this location, probably wont come back. After a 6 hour drive I was craving the smoked salmon bagel I usually get. What I got was nothing like the bagel I used to get - the bagel was barely toasted, the cream cheese was plain when its advertised as 'herbed' and there was an inch of cream cheese on each side (not a complaint but more than my liking). I had one sliver of pickled onion - I think they added a handful of capers to make up for it (which are not listed as an ingredient, and I am not fond of). No complaints about the latte. I didnt check until I got home, so partially my fault. But, I think a heads up asking if substitutions were ok if they were out of an ingredient would have been nice. Especially since this thing was $15!

I first heard about this place upon eavesdropping a "couple" on their first date at another San Diegan cafe. He said it was the "best" coffee in the area, so I had to check it out before my flight out of SD.Communal's cafe is mostly outdoor, with a lot of parasols covering you from the hot Socal sun.I got the Sweet Mint Cold Brew, which reminds me a lot of Philz's mint mojito. It's 100% a much better version of it. It has a bit more kick and bite to it, but you still feel cool and refreshed from the minty aftertaste. I couldn't really tell if it was real cold brew, but it tasted good to me! It did not taste acidic to me, but it might have been the milk :O I like the fun hippie van as their barista bar. It just lends so much to the aesthetic.Oh, and there's water on the side. and everything here felt really clean. 10/10 would go again!

Delicious coffee, ok food. Was a bit upset with the ricotta toast; it was good but did not appetizing. Not at all what is advertised on their website.

Communal is one of the staple San Diego coffee shops. I had never been to the South Park location but decided to do some outdoor reading after the gym. There's a lot of outdoor space at this location, some of the tables in the morning might get blinded by the sun but they do have shade coverings.I came in through the store and felt slightly dumb for not realizing that you also order and get your drinks in the stand outside. However, the store looks really cute inside with the Boho decor, plants, and merchandise all over. My matcha was pretty decent, not the best in the area but certainly refreshing and made pretty quickly.

5 FUGGIN STARS! The atmosphere is incredible. Very calm and relaxing, Quaint breakfast garden attached to the store. The trailer-esk kitchen/bar area adds a very comfortable homey feel. The service is perfect. They were busy when we arrived, still met with a pleasant greeting explaining they'd be with us shortly.Ordered food and coffees...Maple sandwich...BOMB. Avocado toast....BOMBER.The brown sugar latte was perf, the dirty chai was a tad too spicy for me personally and the staff was receptive to me explaining it wasn't for me and replaced it quickly and with no extra charge.The service really is the icing on the cake.HIGHLY recommend if you're looking to relax and sip.

We stumbled upon the most charming coffee shop in San Diego! It's not only a great spot to relax and take a break, but it's also a dog-friendly place. The coffee was absolutely divine - so smooth and flavorful. And let me tell you, the atmosphere was just perfect. I could have stayed there all day!

I am surprised that their score was not even at 4 on Yelp. It was my first time here and I had a great experience. This place is super cute and the menu includes various coffee, matcha and food options. We got a Ube matcha, a hazelnut lattea regular latte, and some baked goods. The drinks were finished beautifully and severed at a perfectly warm temperature. Tasted great. We got nothing really to complain. I would recommend this location for people to try when they are visiting the city.

This place was so cute! If you like the ambiance of pigment, along with just a very zen quiet little coffee shop with good coffee, this is a must try. Their other location tends to be pretty busy, with good reason. This place was quiet and had the most adorable merchandise in the store. I ordered a hazelnut brown sugar latte and it was delicious! Another great coffee spot to try in San Diego!

One of my favorite coffee spots in San Diego! Their lattes are great. I love the cozy outdoor seating area and big trees on the street. There's an attached gift shop with cool items to look at or shop for gifts
