Mnemonic Coffee

2nd time visiting here and it hasn't disappointed. Always a great visit! The atmosphere is super chill and laid back, small for sure so depending on the time of day you may or may not find a seat but luckily it's not a far walk from balboa park to enjoy your coffee there! The staff is always super welcoming and friendly which I appreciate! Parking can be a little tough but not impossible! Majority of spots closest to the shop you will have to pay though so keep that in mind.

Delicious coffee, flaky pastries with cool vibes! So glad that I discovered this new coffee shop. The special coffee "The Filthy Animal" caught my eye immediately and it didn't disappoint. The nutty flavor from the hazelnut orgeat works perfectly with the oat milk. On top of that, the orange zest elevated the drink with its refreshing natural sweetness. I also got a chocolate hazelnut croissant that provided by Relic Bageri and liked it too.The owners are friendly and efficient with service. The only thing that's slightly inconvenient about coming to this place is parking. But street parking usually available within a block or two.

Excellent service Super thoughtful interior design Instagram friendly :) Notable Drinks:- Americano - the Basic- FLORA- Rwanda pour over Parking could be challenging, but very worth it! Top in San Diego!

One of the best downtown coffee shops. Great cappuccino and I really like the interior. It's so easy on the eyes. The shop is clean and that's the most important consideration for me when I decide to stay and work somewhere. The menu is interesting and will keep me coming back to try more. Only downside is it closes at 2pm!

One of the BEST vanilla oat milk lattes I have had in a veryyyyy long time. Simple yet unique menu and very friendly service! Only 3 tables and minimal bar seating so be prepared to wait for a seat or take your coffee togo!

Such a cute shop in Banker's Hill and a great addition to the neighborhood. Our go to spot serving drinks in jars is around the corner, but I have to give Mnemonic a shout out for producing quality drinks, tons of variety, and fun options from coffee, tea, and zero proof carbonated bevies. My husband ordered his usual from every shop, which is The Basic (vanilla latte) which he got iced. One thing I appreciate is that all milk based drinks are served with oat milk, so the alt milk is baked into the price. It's not the milk we normally choose, but we like the plant forward choice. I ordered the Zephyr which is a non caffeinated sparkling drink that tasted like an orange cream soda. It was tasty and the orange foam gave a nice touch. The service was amazing and the two people who helped us were friendly. The prices are in line with other shops are charging, albeit steep, and the drinks come in one size.

What a gem! Mnemonic has a welcoming vibe that is a reflection of the hospitality provided by its owners. The coffee shop shares space with a barber's shop next door - the two have a cutout which connects them. There are many coffee options available not pictured on the menu below. Most of their drinks feature cocktail style-naming which helps you to place what you want to drink. I chose a mocha-esque drink that was clearly rich in high-quality chocolate.Appreciated their efforts to minimize waste throughout the establishment.

I just had an amazing experience at Mneumonic coffee. From the vibes, the music, the service and the quality of their coffee beverages I cannot complain. Everything was absolutely delicious!I tried a special coffee called the Flora. It consisted of peppermint tea, topo Chico, and something blue. The quality of the drink was superb, and I could not recommend it enough. My boyfriend tried their milk, which was extremely delicious. The rich chocolate was not too overpowering, and the coffee balanced very well with the sweetness. The owners make this place so special and answer any and all questions that you might have! I will certainly be back soon and highly recommend this spot to all!!!!

Mnemonic Coffee is a great addition to Bankers Hill. There is indoor seating, but space is limited. It's a great place to pick up some coffee & hit Balboa Park afterwards. The service is nice and friendly. ALL milked based drinks served with oat milk. I ordered the Basic iced latte, 12 oz | $7.25(which is a house made vanilla latte). The drink was sweet and creamy. The espresso was not very strong, so this is a great drink for those who don't enjoy the 'coffee' taste. 2nd visit:I ordered the Basic iced latte 1/2 sweet and the drink was perfectly balance to my liking. You could taste the vanilla + espresso and creaminess from the oat milk. I believe every drink comes in 12 OZ, so you cannot ask for an upgrade. Hopefully near future they can provide larger options for those who prefer it.

We went to this coffee shop before walking through Balboa Park to the Zoo. It was an incredible environment. It's clear the owners are truly passionate about their shop and the community they're building. The coffee was outstanding and beautiful, and the pastries were tasty, too!
