Higher Grounds Coffee and Cafe

Higher Grounds is my go-to spot for a delicious cup of coffee in San Diego! The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it the perfect place to relax or catch up with friends. Plus, their pastries are always fresh and tasty.

Best spot in town for a quick morning coffee.

I got a decaf capuccino with almond milk after going out from my doctor's appointment. Good to have where to get coffe there.

Everything from initial planning to food delivery was amazing! Tahnie and Tyler are a dynamic duo. They answered all my questions and were so willing to create the right food for the occasion. Thank you for making our women's conference so special with such delicious food! We will use them again!

Been going here for months. Excellent food and service. Very busy at lunch time. Managed well.

Terrible quality coffee. I was really looking forward to trying this place, as well. I pass the sign every day on the way to work and it really makes it look like a cool craft coffee place. How can you call yourself Higher Grounds when you use a bag of Lavazza beans from Costco that costa $13? With so many amazing local roasters and great coffees produced all around the country and the world, you use wholesale garbage from Costco that anyone can buy. I had to ask three times for her to even understand the question of what kind of espresso beans they use or where they were from. Don’t waste your time going here unless it is your only option or if you don’t really care about the flavor of your coffee or where the beans came from. I can’t speak other options like food but if you can’t even do the basic thing right of the business that you’re in, why would I bother trying your other stuff either?

Can't say enough about this place. Excellent food and Tyler and Alex are the best. Super friendly service. Just had them cater my holiday gathering and the food and set up and take down were flawless. Everyone told me how much they enjoyed eating his tacos and dessert. Thank you to his wife, Tahnie, for helping arrange it all. Great team. Would use them again in a heartbeat!

Tyler catered an event at our home and the food was delicious, went with a taco bar and the meats and salsas were delicious! They made the setup and takedown of everything so easy that I didn’t have to worry about anything. Would absolutely use them again!
