Talitha Coffee Roasters Bankers Hill

Amazing coffee shop with excellent customer service. I usually get a short iced vanilla latte and it's perfect each time. One day I forgot to say iced, and they remade my drink no problem, and didn't make me pay even when I offered. The branding is beautiful, and all their coffee and syrups are made in house. Plenty of seating with a great vibe. I was in SD for a week and went here about 4 days in a row because it's soo good, and each time had no problem finding street parking. It's metered for only $1.25 for 30 mins, and right next to the coffee shop. The location is prime, because it pretty close to Balboa park, the SD Zoo and on the way to fashion Alley and other shopping, so it's perfect along your commute.

Coffee was quite good! Milk was steamed well and I enjoyed the presentation of the drink. The espresso also had a nice flavor, nothing too strong for those who enjoy a less strong coffee. The space was also quite big, so if you would like to get some work done while enjoying a nice cup of coffee, this place is perfect for that. Workers here are also great!

There’s a reason they’re always empty.. I drive by everyday around 8 am on my way to work, there is never a soul inside. My biggest red flag was that they were empty at 9:30 am on a Sunday but I decided against my better judgment to try it on a whim with my wife, I was under the impression it was still West Bean quality, I ordered the breakfast burrito and espresso over ice, espresso was sour and burnt and the final nail in the coffin was the tortilla wasn’t cooked, very white, no brown spots like it was on a pan, very over priced, and because they’re so slow the baristas are always just standing there. Bankers Hill is rich with fun coffee shops please for the love of coffee go anywhere else, the only vibe to experience to be found there is cheug. Donating proceeds to good causes is cool though.

Today we visited this coffee shop. There's a selection of desserts, as well as various breakfast and snack options for those who want to not only drink coffee but also eat. I had a latte here. I liked the atmosphere of the place. I wanted to sit inside the cafe, but all the tables were taken, so it must be quite popular. There are also a few tables outside. I'd like to say that it's quite clean. The staff keeps the place clean and the tables outside. At least when we were here today, it was clean. You can also buy coffee beans to take home. As for the coffee, I didn't really like it. The coffee was a little bitter, probably because of the beans they use. I can't say it was bad, but rather of average quality.

Nice coffee shop with good enough space to sit and do some work. Their lattes are on point and are at the perfect temperature. Their syrups are made in-house and espresso is pretty smooth.

I enjoyed a nice avocado toast and hot drip black coffee from this new coffee shop. The toast came on a locally baked artisan sourdough bread. The toast came with plenty of freshly sliced avocado, sea salt, crushed black pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic. The toast was very tasty, but the sourdough was harder than it should of been. It was difficult to slice with the metal butter knife. It was a hard chew. The drip coffee was strong but a smooth cup of coffee. They offer locally baked goods and have plenty of inside and outside seating. The service was very nice.

The institution gets a solid 4. One table with 5 chairs is occupied by the person who is working, all single seats remain vacant. Sweet, unique, there is nothing, do not really want to. Coffee is normal, increase a little grind. Friendly baristas. The coffee shop needs to be updated periodically so that the number of visitors does not drop. For example, the stogies on the street look awful, thanks)

I have been missing Cafe Virtuoso since they closed a few years ago and Talitha took over. 5 stars because I want them to continue to succeed. The coffee is still good. The milk is still good. Only issue here is that they are still working on their cup and drink sizing - my cortado came in a notneutral lino in what I believe to be the single cappuccino size (I have the espresso and double cappuccino but don't have a banana for scale), and my partner's latte came in the 16oz lino mug. The drinks were a bit milkier than expected, but the milk is at least very good, so we still enjoyed our drinks!

Omg. The falling for you chai is freaking delicious. The pumpkin flavor really comes out and the extra shot just made it so much better. Cinnamon pumpkin deliciousness. One of the best fall drinks I've ever had. The draggin' matcha is ok. Quite flavorful for sure. The bagel was toasted great and the cream cheese is a pre packaged container but it was good. The service was good and quick. I'll be back for this pumpkin chai for sure!!! I wish they had this year round!!!

Friendly staff. Bagel and small cheese cream packet only $3.50 - bagel is basic but better than grocery store bagels. Dragon Matcha is good but I really could not taste the dragonfruit. Fallin for you (pumpkin chai) is very cinnamony. Dog friendly.

I give this place one star for lovely counter service (the barista was very helpful and friendly) and one star for very tasty coffee (i had a ginger vanilla latte recommended by the barista and it was great). i also think the outdoor seating is very comfortable (no horrible metal chairs in sight!). the big downside was this $12 (!!) avocado toast. avo toast is one of my favorite meals and i've never been served one this bad. the bread was room temp and rock hard, the avocado & hard boiled egg were ice cold out of the fridge. the egg itself was overcooked, the yolk had turned to powder and the white was rubber. arugula on top was old, wilted, and totally undressed. such a confusing dish that shows a real lack of care (and a complete misunderstanding of what avocado toast is supposed to be like). for this price, and for a dine-in experience, bread should be warm, avocado should be room temp, egg should be freshly prepared and hot. serving an ice cold egg for $12 is crazy work.

Talitha Coffee shop is located on Laurel/4th across from Postal Annex. This shop opened over a month ago in Banker's Hills, and it took over the space formerly held by West Bean. Street parking can be a challenge. Open EVERYDAY 7:00am-2:00pm I've stopped in post workout and or post power walking with Fendi at Balboa Park nearby. The menu offers simple and complex options of coffee. Really like the matcha and iced Americano with 6 espresso shots!! Pastry selections is limited and are not house made. Other food options made here available too. Service is helpful. The interior offers lots of seating, perfect for work/study sesh. Love the basic cool cement floors, soaring ceiling height and shaded outdoor seating. Good Vibes. Other than their great potent coffee, one of the outstanding features about Talitha is their mission for a good cause...every purchase helps those victims change lives through hiring, training, and holistic support of sex trafficking survivors. So their vibrant wall art says 'Hope Roasted,' is what it means. Recommend

The Butterscotch latte will do it for me everytime! It's been my go to and has stayed that way even when it was West Bean Coffee. I've had enough cups of these to write a review and I've found nothing close to it anywhere else! It is super sweet, so I try to indulge in it once in a while or lessen the sugar. The service is always fast and I really like the location of the cafe. It's a great spot for being productive or if you want to eat and lounge. I'd highly recommend this local coffee shop if you are around Bankers Hill!

Quick stop in a new coffee shop located where WestBean used to be in Banker's Hill. I'm absolutely loving the colorful branding. We walked in and were greeted immediately. The gentleman made an awesome latte for me and a flat white for my fiancé. Both were above average for the area. The coffee had a nice rich flavor, but was not bitter at all and he got that foam with just the right amount of creaminess. They had a couple interesting things on the menu. There's an Arnold Palmer made with nitro black tea that I will definitely be coming back for on a nice hot day. I saw a few pastries and conchas but wasn't in the market at the moment for a sweet treat. There's also a small menu of food items. This is in a great location about a block away from Balboa Park and a block away from my favorite yoga studio. I'm sure I will be visiting here often!

I heard their nitro tea arnold palmer was creamy and delicious, so had to try it. 10/10 does not disappoint! The cafe itself is the perfect spot to drop in for breakfast or a tasty beverage - great indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was warm and welcoming!

The Falling For You Chai is absolutely AMAZING! The chai base is made IN HOUSE, which is why it's soo delicious! I had it iced and loved it! I'm going again today actually . Service is wonderful, the girl that helped me was so kind, warm, and welcoming! The place is beautiful, in a great location in Banker's Hill. So should you go...Definitely!!

A little hard to find, cuz location is actually corner of 4th & Laurel (not 5th Ave), lower level of Mr. A's building. Glad I found it, because they had the best gluten-free chia pudding parfait I've ever had along with a flat white latte, which was yummy too!

Service was superb. Small interior but nice outside seating area. Very clean and drinks were top notch.

Best chai tea I've ever had and I've had A LOT! The butterscotch latte was great too. Service and atmosphere is wonderful. Only downside is that my pastry did not taste fresh - it was hard and seemed like it had been sitting out awhile.
