"The best of the best!!! A perfect drip coffee. Wonderfully roasted beans and perfectly steamed milk. The staff is super cool & friendly and the seating is plentiful with a unique side hallway outside for seating"

"Genteel Coffee Roasters serves coffee with good flavor, though the overall experience has its ups and downs. Their soda coffee drinks are unique, and whether you enjoy them will depend on your individual taste. Parking is limited and stressful, and street noise can disrupt what should be a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The staff were average in service and appeared somewhat unprofessional, with visible piercings and less-than-polished grooming, though they were not rude. The café could use more attention to cleanliness—dirty vents raise major concerns about air quality and maintenance—though the bathroom was clean and well-maintained. Outside, the plants attract a noticeable number of flies. The view isn’t very good, and the café is located in a somewhat run-down area, which detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the coffee itself is enjoyable, but the parking, noise, outdoor flies, staff impressions, and location make it a visit to weigh carefully."

"Really good coffee and atmosphere. We got one of the seasonal drinks and a cortado, everything was amazing. Baristas were really kind! We bought some merch because all of the branding is really cool. Will absolutely be coming here consistently. 10/10"

"We enjoyed this wonderful and unique space -coffee shop. Baristas are very nice too."

"Delicious & unique Vixen latte, coffee, oat milk, activated charcoal, slightly sweetened with agave. Love all the cactus and quiet alley. Don't miss Genteel in North Park, San Diego."
