Por Vida

Coffee and Chicano culture come together at this locally owned coffee shop. There are two locations but for a dose of art visit the Barrio Logan space that’s part gallery and part cafe. The menu is diverse, featuring espresso-based drinks like casa de cafe and cortado, plus a variety of cold brews. More enticing is the selection of specialty drinks using traditional Mexican ingredients for authentic flavors. Order the De La Olla Cafe with orange peel, cinnamon, and clover, or Vida Pop, featuring an espresso shot mixed with vanilla syrup, Topo Chico, and a twist of lime, for a quick boost of caffeine.
