Achilles Coffee Roasters (Gaslamp)

Located in the heart of the Gaslamp District, this spot is a bustling hub for both convention-goers and locals. You can actually see their Diedrich IR-12 roaster in action which proves they are serious about their beans. I recommend the Honey Cinnamon Latte because the homemade syrup adds a perfect touch of sweetness without overpowering the espresso. The Bankers Hill breakfast sandwich is another winner that will keep you full for hours. Just so you know, this location can get extremely busy especially during conventions so be prepared for a line. It is a vibrant spot to grab a high-quality coffee and soak in the downtown atmosphere.
