Seven Seas Roasting Co. South Park

Seven Seas Roasting Co. is a veteran-owned, farmer-direct roaster in South Park, San Diego. The shop has a nautical theme, a saltwater aquarium kids love, an octopus on the floor and a garage door that opens onto Fern Street. There's a long window bar and outdoor seats. Dogs get pup cups with peanut butter. Busy mornings can mean a wait.

They roast on-site, and Jaguar and the Peruvian are favorites. The dirty chai is a local favorite. Try Candy Blast as espresso or the Marigold Mocha Latte with pistachios. There are wood-fired bagels, chocolate croissants and a maple cronut. They ship nationwide, with subscriptions.
