Genteel Coffee is a cool little cafe in the North Park neighborhood of San Diego. I was in the mood for a matcha and happened upon this coffee shop while in the area. I'm so glad I did. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the menu offered specialty items not usually found at your standard coffee shop. My iced matcha was delicious and exactly what I wanted. There is seating inside the shop and outdoor seating on the side of the building. I had a wonderful experience soaking in sunshine and enjoying my drink on the patio. Highly recommended!

I've had many fantastic coffee experiences here at Genteel. They have some fantastic roasts and the people behind bar are obviously talented, friendly and knowledgeable. Have one of their espresso drinks or their pour over and take it to the outside patio for a nice little getaway. It's great to see this relatively small space impact the community in such a big way! Thanks guys!

Genteel is the so good! The drip coffee is one of the best I've had around. It had so much flavor and was extracted perfectly. I had a bag of the Costa Rican beans at home that I made as a pour over and they were roasted perfectly as well. My bf got a cappuccino & the milk texture was 10/10! Highly recommend this spot.

I ordered their seasonal rosemary cap. The rosemary and cinnamon was great in the drink. Theres some bar seating as well as other seating outside. The barista was also helpful in helping me pick which drink to get since I was a bit unsure on what to get. I would definitely come back to try their other house-made specialties.

I love almost any kind of fun coffee or tea drink and this spot has some really cool unique options. I came with my family and there was something for us all! It's super small in here but there's a little patio which is nice! I got the vixen with oat milk. It had activated charcoal and agave. Yum! They make their own syrups in house which is a huge plus. My sister had a tea spritz and loved it! Everyone else enjoyed their drinks as well. They also sell their own beans which is cool. Would recommend if you're in the area!
