Torque Coffee

Torque Coffee is a roaster on El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego. 20% of each bag's retail price stays at origin. It's small, with rotating art, a vending machine of small goods and readings. Cups are plastic-free. Seats are limited, and parking is on the street. Dogs get treats.

Try the banana bourbon latte with Ethiopia espresso, the iced oat palo santo honey latte or the orange blossom latte. The decaf is good. There are empanadas. They offer subscriptions.
