Arc & Kin

Neighbor coffee spot! This place was great! Newly open coffee shop. The owner and his team were very welcoming. They greeted a number of customers by first name and even knew their go to coffee orders. I ordered an unsweetened matcha oat milk latte which was perfect 🤩. They had indoor and outdoor sitting. I will return soon and try some of their seasonal lattes.

This is my favorite coffee shop in San Diego. I will go out of my way to go here. Their espresso flavor is rich and multi-faceted. I don’t get sugar in mine, but their specialty drinks are unique and fun. The owner, Andy, is super nice and knowledgeable. The chocolate croissants are top notch. Go there!

We went to Ark&Kin twice between Christmas 2025 and New Year '26 while visiting family in San Diego. They have an excellent selection of great-tasting coffees and delicious pastries. We especially loved their almond croissant, that reminded us of being in a Parisian cafe. We wanted to buy decaf beans to bring back to Switzerland (where we live). When Andy checked in the back, he noticed that they had just run out. Actually, the last person who had been served before us had just bought their last bag of decaf beans. 😅 Andy then surprised us by gifting us a bag of the same coffee - with caffeine - as a souvenir, since "you won't be back that soon." Super kind and highly appreciated. We are enjoying it while writing this review. 😃 Thank you again, dear Andy. We wish you lots of success,

First time here! Andy was amazing and the drinks are delicious! I started with a shot of his espresso which he perfectly described and was so delighted by the flavors. I then took a pistachio latte which he crafted slightly less sweet and it was absolutely perfect. I am new to brewing espresso and he spent his time educating me , giving me tips about and helping me dial in my own espresso shots. Please check this place out. Staff is friendly. It’s dog friendly, parking is super available and the energy is really positive. You can tell they re passionate about coffee. I will be back with friends next time! Thank you!!!

Lovely spot, great service and delicious coffee!! Andy is always welcoming and kind. We love coming here!
