Global Coffee Trading - S San Diego

Not really a review since this is more of a FYI that it has closed permanently per the person at that location when we drop by for a visit. This was on 09/24/2018.

Oh no.. closed at 11:30 on Friday 9/21/2018. Unusual white-paper hasty CLOSED sign.. Unclear if this is Closed Closed forever, or just unexpected Closed. Anyone know? Great fresh beans to go, awesome pour-overs. Here's hoping they open again!

This place is excellent! Very knowledgeable and friendly barista and superior Cappuccino and lattes. It is a gem of place hidden in an industrial park but totally worth the scavenger hunt to find it. Come and have a coffee here, you will not regret it!

Best coffee shop in town. Fast and friendly service not to mention the drinks are delicious. CJ is the cutest barista and she's funny to boot !!! Luis is also great,friendly and he's single ; I definitely got out of my way to visit this friendly shop.

SVCR, formally known as Global Coffee Trading Co, is like the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow once you find it, you'll be rewarded with a richly developed brew. A small, but mighty menu. Ask for the pour over offerings for the day. I seem to always grab for an *Ethiopia* wherever I go. Theirs is just as smooth and delicate, but still bold. It'll definitely wake you up. I love the personal attention paid to your brew; they even alert their customers to the baristas working behind the bar on a small placard out front. You know they are a leading force when it comes to coffee knowledge. They occasionally host cupping events and even latte art competitions. They brew in house and all throughout the day. It's super neat watching their system in action as the coffee beans churn around inside the machine. Wish I knew more about the intricate process, but their equipment looks top notch. I always pop in on occasion especially after an early morning workout in the area. It took me a couple of tries the first time I found out about them, but to find them basically head towards New English Brewing and keep a look out for them on your left. You will not regret hunting down this spot!
