Cool Vibes, Good Music, Food and Drink. That is the motto of the newly opened Spill the Beans Coffee and Bagels. Located on the north side of The Townsend Apartments, or as some call it, the back entrance to Fashion Valley Shopping Center, they join other supporting businesses for this new housing area. One of these businesses is Spill the Beans Coffee and Bagels. Grab a cup of coffee for the road, on your way to the office or school, meet friends, or sip and study for your current class.
“We opened our third San Diego location in late December. We are looking forward to creating a great community at this location. We have already started getting a following and getting regulars. At the Seaport Village and the Gaslamp locations most of our customers were tourists,” said Kaylee Otto manager.
There is plenty of convenient parking, a large outdoor patio that will feature future events and indoor seating. “We love puns. Our decor is playful focusing on puns and plays on words. One of the main themes is a “Pot Head Coffee” with a smiling coffee pot wearing Vans, sunglasses and carrying a to-go cup of steaming hot coffee,” Otto said.
“Our coffee is our private blend. We have a person who oversees and creates our coffee profiles of flavors,” Otto said.
On the menu, you will find an array of caffeinated drinks, both hot and cold, teas, and specialty-crafted drinks. You can “Make it Extra Dope” and add vanilla, caramel or hazelnut.
“Our bagels are made fresh daily. You can ‘Roll Your Own’ mix and match bagels with spreads. We offer a flavor of the month for both bagels and cream cheese,” Otto said. There is a large assortment of both. If you are looking for gluten-free goods, currently only their toasts qualify.
If you’re visiting after breakfast hours they also offer “All Day Sandos”, which are gourmet bagel sandwiches such as Lox, Stock and Bagel or a BBL(t) which is peppered bacon, tomato, lettuce and garlic aioli.
“Our owners are great people who have also recreated that life in the coffee scene. They have a great management style- let people be who they are, which reflects in the employees. They’re very helpful and happy employees. We like fun people. Both customers and employees,” Otto said.
