My new favorite coffee shop in San Diego! Love it so much that I went here 2 days in a row! Lots of cool Latin inspired art and murals, great customer service. Stellar Lemonades and awesome delicious coffee drinks! The Spicy Mango Lemonade with tajine rim was perfect cooler for a hot day! Lots of street parking .

When in Logan thou must have Por Vida drank! From the spicy lemonade to the coffee all of it is bomb. The girls work fast, so the drinks come quick, always satisfied with every drink I have tried here. They even have Boba drinks for you Boba heads and kids! Did I mention the art work is badass?

My expectations were high, but the coffee was just okay. I love Mazapan, so I got the Mazapan latte. It wasn’t strong enough for one shot of expreso. It was more like a mazapan with milk.

I have traveled the world and gotten to enjoy many different coffee places. This place here ranks in my top 5. Quality coffee, interesting blends makes this a must try for anyone visiting San Diego. Go in and get a taste of culture in your coffee. Horchata Latte is the one!

Great service and plenty of tasty options. I had the Buenas Vibras iced and hubby had the Dulce de Leche iced both with oat milk. Both drinks were tasty and well balanced (not too sweet). Hopefully they will be allowed to open indoor seating soon since its a very chill spot.

Always on the hunt for that tasty dirty chai latte. This one was smooth and velvety and intoxicatingly sweet. I opted for the 8 oz and it was pure prefection. Just the right amount after a satisfying 4 milpas experience. I saw everyone around me enjoy their spicy michelada type lemonade, must come back for that experience. Please support this local and cute place.

Ive been going there for a few years and I liked supporting this unique coffee shop. Every experience was great. I was there today and unfortunately the woman refused to put whip cream in my hot latte. Whip cream is my favorite part! She was very rude about it. I made the drive all the way from oceanside to have a cup of coffee there but I will not be back.

Great little spot in an upcoming part of San Diego. A lot of culture everywhere you look. Very vibrant full of other restaurants and bars - so please go and explore the neighborhood.I love their Mazapan Latte but my wife tried Por Vida Latte which was equally delicious. Sadly no food options 😕. But the barista recommended the restaurant El Carrito next door which was delicious. All in all a great morning adventure during the holidays.

This spot was close to where my wife and I get brunch so we decided to check it out. The interior looks so creative and artsy which is the norm in Barrio Logan. The hot chai latte is the best ever by far. The workers here are very friendly and they sell their own branded merchandise which is also pretty cool. Highly recommended. Definitely returning!

Review №84

This is customer service only. I ordered my drink and asked where the bathroom was. The cashier told me that the bathroom was unavailable today only. I asked where do you go to the bathroom then? She rolled her eyes at me and laughed and said I dont know. Again I asked is there a nearby restroom I can use. She again rolled her eyes and said I dont know. I would say for a coffee shop to NOT have a bathroom available or not offer a nearby option is pathetic. Furthermore as a patron I would think that eye rolling would be considered unprofessional but what do I know. Im literally just a patron. Would not recommend unless you would like to have a mehh customer service experience. Especially when there are literally so many options of small business coffee shops available with friendlier customer service.

Being a Chicano I was excited to hear of a place like Por Vida. My mother and wife ordered a latte and a Spiced watermelon iced drink . Drinking the watermelon drink rimmed in spicy Chile powder brought me back to my childhood. Out of all the Cafes in San Diego Por Vida is the place I bring people too. The owner and staff were amazing. Excited for their future . Cant wait to taste their home roast

It’s always a good sign when baristas weigh the coffee grounds before pulling shots. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the space is cool and colorful and full of exciting artwork. Coffee definitely above average, and you can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do.Only thing is, I’d recommend the owner take a look at the americano prices. Why should I pay a dollar extra to upgrade from an 8oz to a 12oz when both come with a double shot of espresso? A buck for an extra 4oz of water? Yo...you trippin. Little oversights like this make for awkward exchanges at the register and should be addressed, both for the sake of your staff and your customers.

Great drinks! I love the flavors, they are really tasty and unique. Good vibe and great baristas. Its a good place to study at, and there are plenty of plugs for your laptop. It is also pet friendly so that is a plus plus plus for me. Parking can be a little tough on Fridays though. Other than that I love it.

We went at night parking was difficult to find. Order a large horchata coffee the main reason we went there. It was good but large coffee seemed like a small comparing to other places. Not enough selections of dessert. Over all experience unless I was in the neighborhood and I deeply needed and desire horchata coffee, I would consider going again.

Dope coffee spot with a little gallery in the back. The graffiti inside the shop is awesome. They have some really good Joe. Its a musy that you make a stop here.
