San Diego's Finest Organic Coffee & Tea

Te Mana Cafe

Open only 84 days, Jason and Marguerite have cultivated a following in their surfer cafe in OB. Tiki grass roofs and new surfboard fences going up around the perimeter in a couple weeks, this place is the perfect spot for beach locals to get together for a cup of joe and relax. Their employees take on the island mentality by serving pour over cups of coffee on a skateboard with a drum solo and song. These two even have a resident artist that sits on their porch and makes beaded necklaces and earrings. Their philosophy is simple – they love coffee and the surf and want to surround themselves in a community that loves the same. And we have to say, we love it.

Check them out in the summer when they will be hosting surf movie nights and obsessively serving delicious Amaro Gayo.

This week’s wholesale spotlight is on Monica’s at the Park in hip University Heights.  The establishment is run by friendly cafe owner Randy who supports the artist community by allowing local artists to exhibit their artwork all over his cafe.  Their beautiful outside patio space is perfect for the upcoming summer months.  Friends get together here for poetry nights, to play board games, and of course to sip on a delicious cup of coffee.  They serve delicious sandwiches for lunchtime and yummy pastries for breakfast.  Stop by for their upcoming poetry evening on May 16th starting at 7:00pm and have Danika and Andrea to make you a delicious espresso drink!
