"Ilustra Coffee Roasters This coffee is phenomenal! I’ve been in and out of Tijuana since 2015 and have tried countless coffee shops — none compare to Ilustra Coffee Roasters. The beans are out of this world! Sure, it costs a bit more, but you truly get what you pay for. The owners know exactly what they’re doing and are providing an exceptional coffee and customer experience. The staff is wonderful, attentive, and always on point. Keep up the great work! Sincerely, Dave"

"Best Coffee in North Baja Hands down the best in North Baja. The cappuccino hits just right, perfect shot-to-milk ratio. Why can’t more coffee shops figure this out? I’m not a baby, I don’t want a cup of warm milk! Great location too. I actually visited the roaster years ago before this retail space opened, and I came back recently to work a couple of days. The coffee, comfortable seating, and reliable WiFi made it an easy choice. Staff is friendly and on point. They even had Geisha on the menu for a proper pour-over, which my wife loved. Solid coffee, great vibe, can’t recommend it enough."

"What a great coffee shop, a credit to the style panache and creativity Rudy seems to bring to all his endeavours. The style, with bright pastels, subtle artwork and functionality blended into a warm and welcoming ambience with the machinery of the craft taking prominent position - the gorgeous Kees van der Western Spirit in pride of place on the bar, is just a pleasure to appreciate. Needless to say the coffee served is truly excellent and my only regret is that I live too far for regular visits."

"Excellent espresso coffees with healthy, sugar-free, substitute milk options."

"We always come here when we go to playas! It’s our favorite specialty coffee spot and my wife even buys their coffee beans so we have them at home. My one complaint is that the blueberry match is so good that I drink it in one sip 😆. The baristas are always so friendly when we stop by and the atmosphere inside is wonderful."
