Best Restaurants in City Heights | Eater San Diego

"True to its name, this Tijuana-style coffee and dessert shop fills a much-needed gap in the City Heights caffeine landscape, considering this zip code of 65,000 has only a handful of independent coffee shops (and a Starbucks). As a cafe, it serves two styles of espresso prepared with beans from James Coffee Co.: the classics, plus Mexican twists like cajeta and mazapan lattes. As a dessert shop, it doles out locally sourced ice cream scoops in flavors like passion fruit, cappuccino and horchata. The small, colorful back patio is a quiet oasis, perfect for co-working or a moment of calm. Above all: the cold brew float is the perfect fix for days that simply require coffee AND ice cream."
