San Diego’s Essential Coffee Roasters and Cafes
"This roaster got its start as a wholesaler before it branched into running its own cafes in Banker’s Hill, Liberty Market, and BayHo (where its roasting takes place). They also make their own artisanal syrups that are a welcome departure from artificial coffee enhancers. For purists (or if you don’t love strawberry chocolate or vanilla in your joe), the traditional, simple drinks are very accomplished too." - Helen I. Hwang
