What a darling space. Truly marvelous on the inside.Came to catch up with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed our drinks. The barista was enthusiastic about what was on offer and I appreciate a good recommendation! (I do wish they served their X-Factor drip, though. It is AMAZING. You are missing out if you don't grab a bag!)Much love to a shop that provides resources and community awareness. It is so important and makes the extra circling for parking worthwhile.

Vegetarian options: Coffee with non dairy milk options.Mini fridge packed with delicious veggies, on the house!Not sure about the muffins and cakes.Kid-friendliness: Nice cool atmosphere. No problem with all behaved kids at this cool joint.Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is wide enough to get a wheel chair through. And plenty of places to sit and enjoy.

Cafe X has immediately become my coffee shop of choice. I had a meeting, so I didn’t take pictures, and I’m so bummed about it! The cafe is GORGEOUS! You can feel the love that went into every little detail. I can confidently say that this place is for the culture. There are several seating areas and even a swing! The owners really outdid themselves! As far as the coffee goes, I had the Brown Suga. The name says it all… espresso, milk, and brown suga. It was delightful! I will definitely be a regular here. I can’t wait to bring all my people!

Cafe X is more than just a coffee shop, it's a representation of community. Click their website and you can read more about how this space was intentional dreamed up and created by the people for the people. I am grateful to have spent time in community with others in this space. They have a large facility perfect for gathering. And their drinks are pretty delicious too!

Back in June I was in San Diego for work. Looking for a nice coffee shop to get a coffee and something to eat for the drive back north to the bay area with my wife, I searched and found this highly rated location. We made the drive and glad we did! Service was really great, both of us loved our lattes (salted caramel was fab) and the co-op concept they are doing for the neighborhood is fantastic. A pleasant surprise. Glad we made the stop!

Love this black owned coffee shop! I found them on TikTok, I was looking for cute, coffee shops. What is it in San Diego. It's so spacious, they even have a patio area. The coffee is delicious and the staff so friendly and relatable. Go check them out.

One of the best cafes in San Diego that invites all communities. I could tell the owner loved her cafe but also the community and making sure everyone was satisfied. Also not to mention, its Black owned!!
I was in sd for a few hours on the way from some community work, and stumbled upon this spot while trying some rocklimbing next door (also a great, legit, local biz I was lucky to try). I drink alot of coffee and have worked in service so I appreciate cafes and the work that goes in alot but rarely review. But drinking this iced hazlenut latte and cheese danish I have to praise Miss Cynthia and the other folks who run this beautiful place. The inention and interconnection that drives this place - coffee selection, roasting, food sourcing, art on the walls, welcoming space, cooperative mission, mutual aid resources - is nothing short of inspiring. And that intention translates into some of the smoothest, most creative coffee and latte blend I've had. Don't miss out - and while you're at it spread the word to friends and fam. Looking forward to my next trip to try more from here.

This is the spot. From catching up with an old friend to a casual coffee business meeting. Cafe X is the ideal spot in this neighborhood! The music is always the perfect chill music and just the right level to be able to take phone calls or chat with someone. Coffee is delicious, during COVID they took the time to craft their own roast and it is wonderful. Cynthia is almost always there and a true delight. Let's keep this place busy!

Today was my first time visiting here and the owner Miss Cynthia was very warm and welcoming. I appreciated that she took the time to show us around the café and get to know my husband and I. Pretty awesome experience for discovering the café by happy accident. Our drinks and food were delicious and refreshing, my taste buds were super happy and I can’t wait to come back! ^_^
