Tasty coffee. Not expensive! This coffee shop is inside the Jcc, and because of the crazy world we live in, you need to be able to pass through security and get in the building. But if you are here for a performance or event, or are a JCC member, The coffee is quite tasty. And there is a great patio outside.

NEW MENU AND NEW HOURS!For the first time since the pandemic, the Bean has extended their hours! A great place to get work done and meet up with friends or even colleagues! The café is INSIDE the Jewish Community Center, tell the front desk you want to go to the Bean and they will allow you :)

Really great selection of burgers and the fries were amazing! Located inside the Jewish community centre, isn't a negative but obviously a different vibe to going to a restaurant or café. The portion sizes were incredible. Updated from previous review on 2023-04-03

This is my favorite coffee! The staff is so incredibly friendly and helpful. It really feels good to get my coffee from a place that gives back to the community and partners with The Arc of San Diego!

These are just really good burgers. Friendly service, fast, delicious, and fresh. What more could you ask for? Highly recommend.

It is nice to have a new option for vegan burgers that are also not the typical vegan burger you can now find pretty much “anywhere”. They use the impossible patty (my favorite) for 6 different burgers and they also have a falafel one I haven’t tried yet. I had the Waikiki and I loved it, he had the Jerusalem and said it was really good, both messy but delicious and their fries are great too.

We were so excited that the cafe at the JCC had become all-vegan! And we loved our burgers. No need to be a member to enter. Nice patio seating.

As vegan we deserve more than just a patty in a lame sandwich. This is the first chef restaurant for vegan burgers that I visited. Burgers are mostly based on spiced impossible meat patty (there is also a Falafel burger). My favorite sandwich so far is the Piraeus burger: IMPOSSIBLE patty with Kalamata Olive Tapenade, Feta Cheese, Tzatziki and more, all rapped in a delicious Pretzel Bun. Yummy!
