The 9 Best Places for Dark Roast in San Diego

Kevin Pratt: Italian Roast is a sweet, dark roasted bean with a bright mouth of candy roasted almond and a slightly coarse earth toned body of cinnamon and spices.

Colleen Alarcon: Great selection of iced coffees. The coffee is really smooth tasting and refreshing. Try the iced caramel mocha, the blended mocha or the iced or blended Best Drink Ever.

Danny Villalobos: Iced "Best Drink Ever" w/an added shot. My favorite :)

Kevin Pratt: The Black Honeyed beans from El Salvador is true to its name: a dark roast that play on the mouth and the back with semi-sweet chocolate and thick plum. A strong plum finish is brought out by Chemex.

Perriann Hodges: One of the best coffee shops to buy beans at! A little pricy, but it comes with the quality beans!!

Food & Wine: The Bird Rock café specializes in direct trade and micro-lot coffee—coffee brewed from beans that are harvested from a single, independent farm.

Gilbert Gaona: THis is truly "America's Finest Starbucks"

C C: They are very quick and pretty much always accurate. All off the employees that I have met are very cheerful and courteous! I guess if I had access to coffee all day I'd always be cheerful too! THX
