Ultreya Coffee and Tea is a woman-owned and LGBTQ+-owned coffee roastery and cafe in College Area at 4653 College Ave, San Diego, 92115, opened in 2018 by Dani after 15 years in the coffee industry. The roasting program runs on an SF6 five-pound drum roaster installed in 2020, producing single-origin and blended coffees in-house with roast profiles developed through direct relationships with farm-level producers in Mexico and Central America. College Avenue runs south from SDSU's campus into the residential blocks of College Area, and the cafe's proximity to the university pulls a student and faculty crowd that uses the indoor tables and free Wi-Fi as a daytime workspace. The food menu leans into organic and vegan options — avocado toast, grain bowls, house-baked pastries, and breakfast sandwiches — served alongside specialty espresso drinks, matcha lattes, and seasonal offerings like the Golden Hill Latte. San Diego's independent theater scene in College Area, including MOXIE Theatre south of campus, draws the same arts-and-community audience that fills the cafe's patio on weekend mornings. Dani traveled to Mexico in February 2023 with a group of local roasters and her green coffee buyer to meet women producers and learn the farm-to-cup process from seedling through harvest, fermentation, drying, and export. The roaster's choice subscription ships freshly roasted bags directly to customers, and retail bags sold over the counter are often still warm from the cooling tray. Coffee near SDSU skews toward chain outlets and quick-serve kiosks, and Ultreya differentiates by offering the only on-site roasting operation within walking distance of campus, giving students a direct line from green bean to finished cup. The College Area creative community, including music producers at JP Productionz nearby, shares the cafe's independent and artist-run ethos. The half-caff blend pulls a 50-50 ratio of caffeinated Colombian and Swiss Water Process decaf through the same roast curve, producing a low-acid cup that reads smooth enough to drink black without sugar.
