Portside Coffee & Gelato

Nestled by the docks, Port Side Coffee is a hidden gem offering stunning views, refreshing beverages, and a welcoming ambiance. The entire establishment is encased in glass, providing patrons with uninterrupted vistas of the waterfront. Whether you're looking to unwind with a beer or hit the books, this spot caters to all needs.I recently had the pleasure of trying their matcha, and it was nothing short of delightful. The flavor was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. But what truly sets Port Side Coffee apart is its exceptional staff - friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile.With its tranquil atmosphere and picturesque surroundings, Port Side Coffee has quickly become my top contender for a new study spot. It offers the perfect environment to focus and be productive, whether you're diving into textbooks or simply enjoying a peaceful moment by the water. It's no wonder I find myself drawn back here time and time again.

I was in the area for a conference & coworkers and I stopped here not once, but 2x (once BEFORE lunch!) for gelato. The food: Delicious. Coworkers ordered the lemon sorbet & chocolate, which i tried and enjoyed. I ordered their coffee gelato which was delicious.The staff: Helpful and descriptive of flavors.The vibe: can't be beat! Beautiful water views and a great spot to stop and enjoy on a warm summer day.

Been here a few times and we like the place & food but 1 star as this is the 2nd time this happened...I'm lactose intolerant and always ask for alternate milk, i.e. Oat milk.If you are lactose intolerant, you know what happens when you ingest regular or whole milk. Less than 30min after I started drinking my coffee I knew my day was going to be rough.

Terrible experience!!!! It's a few minutes before they open (approximately 5:47am. I know that they are still closed since it is posted on their Huge LED screen/monitor and I am the ONLY ONE in the area(mind you, they are at the side of the sidewalk. The tall brunette opened their glass sliding window & instead of greeting me at least a "good morning" told me that they are still closed just as I am pulling my pack of smokes from my pocket; she told me that I cannot smokes so I told her what do you care, you're still closed. She gave me that rude look.I truly love their Cafe Mocha and even complimented them a few days prior when me and my family ate at Brigantine Restaurant (20 yards away from them-just right next door)They need to retrain this individual because she is a liability instead of an asset of the company.Honestly, their Cafe Mocha is better than Starbucks but I won't support them with this experience.

Coffee was decent. Liked that they kid size scoops of Gelato. Perfect for the kiddo. They have a little seating area outside. Price was ok. Took stars off b/c they didn't have a huge selection of Gelato flavors and service was slow. Took forever for coffee and Gelato and to grab a cookie. Wouldn't go out of my way to go here. But if on the way it's just OK.

Service was amazing, view is stunning and Gelato hit the spot. Went back for seconds after walking around everything I tried was delicious. definitely 10/10.

My friend and I stopped here to grab a little Gelato before getting dinner at Ketch upstairs. There was a bit of a wait because it was a Saturday at Seaport Village; however, the line went quickly. After looking over the flavors, my friend and I both decided on getting two scoops of gelato; one "Cookies & Cream" scoop and one "Mocha Chocolate Chip" scoop. The gelato was divine; smooth and creamy and worth the price. All in all, Portside Gelato is a nice little place for a treat while hanging out in Seaport Village.

The white chocolate mocha was refreshing and enjoyable. Service was quick and courteous. I only wish I had more time to chill at this cafe Comic Con had my focus when I visited. Will definitely visit again.

Had a chance to try this cute coffee and gelato spot and this was super cute and right in front of the water with great views! I ended up ordering a lavender latte and this was really yummy and cozy. I enjoyed the taste! The service was pretty fast for when we got the drink which was nice. It was the perfect drink for a nice cool day!

I've actually never tried the gelato here but have had breakfast here a couple times! While my family was visiting San Diego we were staying at a hotel just across from this little coffee shop and we got breakfast here for a couple mornings. It's a super cute little stand -- not an actual restaurant -- but there's tons of outdoor seating in the little glass dome right next door. It's such a nice vibe; the views of the water are gorgeous. The workers here are so friendly and helpful! We've tried the açaí bowl, breakfast croissant sandwich, bagels, and yogurt bowls here and everything is tasty and comes out quick. My açaí bowl came with tons of fresh fruit, coconut flakes, and granola. It was a huge portion for the price too. I've also had their iced matcha latte which is very pretty good as well. Definitely don't sleep on this place if you're looking for a quick breakfast stop in the area!
