Torque Coffee

I love the vibe they give off when you enter the shop and the choice of adventure will change your idea of what kind of coffee or matcha order you originally wanted! Check it out!

After a trip to Belgium I was eager to have a proper leige waffle and Torque coffee delivered a fantastic example of one! The coffee is fancy (just the way a coffee snob likes at :D) and the coffee merch and gear is also very cool. Had a big complicated order and they were nice enough to fresh roast a couple big bags of beans for me.

An absolute gem for coffee lovers! This shop offers a fantastic selection of fresh-roasted beans that satisfy any taste, whether you’re a gourmet enthusiast or just after a quality cup. The coffee is rich, balanced, and thoughtfully crafted, with service that’s warm and welcoming. They even help you choose the right beans for your coffee machine, making sure you get the perfect brew at home. For anyone who loves a great coffee experience, this place is a must-visit!

Today I stopped by this coffee shop on my friend’s recommendation. We decided to try the coffee, and I had an iced latte. Honestly, I really enjoyed it — the coffee was great. They also have a large selection of coffee beans available for purchase — different kinds and sizes of Arabica beans you can brew at home. There are also lots of accessories and various drinks for sale. I liked the atmosphere. The only downside is that there aren’t many seats — just five small tables inside and a couple more outside. But overall, space was enough. The coffee truly stood out — high quality and delicious. One of the best I’ve had in the city. I’m happy to recommend this place to everyone. The service was quick and pleasant, and my overall experience was nothing but positive. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again.

Best cortado I've had in San Diego. Service was friendly and coffee was perfection, Marcelessa is very "cozy". I will definitely return here for a cortado fix.

Third time coming in here! Ordered an espresso and a cortado of their Anaerobic Natural Costa Rica Black Diamond this morning, and the whole order was absolutely delicious it hit all the flavor notes! Torque Coffee is the place to go if you’re looking for a specialty espresso or pour-over. Shoutout to Michelle & Taylor, who show such care and attention to detail that’s rare to find it truly comes through in both the taste and presentation (they even preheat the SPRO cup if you’re ordering in-house!). It’s easy to see why Torque is a neighborhood favorite — I always look forward to my next visit!

Not only are their roasted whole beans delicious, their drinks are always on point. The baristas warm and friendly vibes are always such a treat!

A coffee shop for real aficionados! Great coffee roasting selections with also great breakfast options; they even have some great wine selections if you want to turn it into brunch.

My macchiato was delicious and it's a great place to sit and enjoy a coffee. Great cold brew too. Staff were super friendly and are obviously passionate about great coffee. They have a ton of beans, teas, and elixirs to take home as well. There's a fun vending machine with random stuff in it, with some items by local artists! Torque is a must try for coffee lovers!

Torque Coffee is amazing! They have a great selection of well roasted beans, make amazing drinks, and their service is unlike any other coffee shop I’ve ever been to. Such a lovely little spot 😊

The atmosphere is relaxed, with soul music in the background, and the staff are super friendly. I had the perfect creamy steamed milk cappuccino 👌🏼 Also the takeout cups are bamboo, bonus points!

Lowkey coffee shop with the coolest vibes. Great service and awesome espresso selection. Although we were just stopping by in the area, I will definitely take note to revisit next time! Highly recommend the figgy pudding. Thanks guys!

It was my first time in and had a lot of questions, but the baristas were both very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. They helped me order a drink for my friend (banana bourbon latte) and she was super satisfied. I got a Sparkle Party (best drink name EVER) with Palo Santo honey and it was fantastic. The barista on bar(apologies for not asking your name) had a true understanding and appreciation for the flavor notes in the different roasts and paired them perfectly with our drinks. As a former barista of 18 years, 10/10 recomended. Great atmosphere and best coffee I have had in years!

Yall come on over here already! They got organic milk and tons of fun options. Dont wanna put the name out in public BUT damn the barista with the cool hair colors IS AWESOME and deserves a raise. Cheers!

Always a great experience to go with a some fun flavors and an amazing selection of beans. Also their matcha & hojicha drinks are my gf’s favorite! ProTip: checkout the vending machine when you walk in!

My friend picked up a banana bourbon for me this morning as a surprise. Having moved back to the states this year after being gone for 3 years ive noticed an influx of coffee shops and an decline in quality. This place absolutely holds up to the classic flavor and ideal. 10/10 absolutely love!

I ordered a large Palo Santo latte with gluten free oatmilk. The coffee was rich and creamy but lacked the little foam. It was nothing extraordinary but it was good. I've tried going here a few times before but parking is difficult to find. Today I found parking so i stopped by. Although it was good. I dont think I will be coming back. I can find this grade of coffe in many other coffee shops. I give it a 3.7 out of 5.

Great lil vegan cafe! Everything is sourced intentionally or made in-house. Their seasonal spring drink has a plum and strawberry reduction and is best iced. Coffee beans and honey for lattes is sourced from a Guatemalan farm, and 20% of each cup goes back to the farmers. No extra cost for alt milk. Plus ft. local artists’ merch! My latte was a tad too sweet for me but prob what everyone else would like. A great buttermilk biscuit (housemade is so much better) and delicious tomato jam on my Brik brekkie biscuit. Breakfast food options on the smaller side. Love the staff and the music taste 🤘🌿

I got the Thrilli Vanilli which tasted like coffee flavored water with a little bit of fall spice walked by the drink. Very poor. My friends got an espresso and an iced latte which I tried and were infinitely better than my drink. Those redeemed my pretty poor beverage. I will give this place another try though.
