What customers say?

“ New favorite neighborhood coffee place. Same friendly guy every-time and one can tell that he cares deeply about his customers. Lattes are perfectly sweet. Great for grab and go coffee and pastries. ”

He’s really a genuine person ! I always get the Vietnamese iced coffee, which is also really good ! Thanks for being amazing ”

“ Outdoor coffee spot that you drive by but can't miss. The staff was super cool and ensured me that the espresso shots were long shots which I loved. I tried the Vietnamese iced coffee and by far the freshest I have had. They have food/smoothie and other options. Recommend all coffee heads to try it out! ”

“ Super cute place! Located on the corner inside of a shipping container. I assume sidewalks don't allow any chairs or a place to wait for your coffee - but it's a great spot to stop as you hop to work. It's a small thing, but I find that coffee shops with Monin syrups typically care a little more about their product rather than carrying the typical Torani syrups. This place has both, which is a nice touch. I ordered a sweet dirty chai and a decaf Americano. ”

“ Seahorse Coffee is a cute coffee stand located on the corner of Market and 13th in downtown San Diego. Their baristas were super outgoing and the male barista had a great sense of humor. I ordered two Vietnamese Iced Coffees, which I was told was one of their best sellers. It only took a few minutes for them to make after walking up. It was a good size drink as you can see by the picture. While not my favorite Vietnamese Iced Tea in San Diego it was definitely solid and I would order again. ”

- Steven Heath -

“ It was my first time stopping by this cute coffee shop and it was great. Good coffee at a very reasonable price and awesome customer service. Convenient if you are in the area and need a pastry or a hot or cold iced drink. Also cool outdoor seating with some people watching and cool art work to check out as well. I need will certainly be going back for more coffee again soon. ”

- Jerome Cooper -

“ Walk-up coffee shop nestled in the heart of San Diego’s East Village serving up specialty drinks and smoothies as well as some breakfast items. Their “snickle rick” peanut butter and caramel mocha is a personal favorite. While there’s no seating at the coffee shop itself, there is an urban park installment in front of the cafe that offers some seating. Stop by for a quick coffee next time you’re downtown. ”

- McCall Castro -

“ Vietnamese coffee & Dr Roskco coffee Both great; similar in flavor. Vietnamese is more robust and slightly less sweet, very well balanced. Will stop by this shop again in the future. ”
