Yipao Coffee is a Colombian-owned specialty roaster operating inside the Kairoa Brewing Company space at 4601 Park Blvd in University Heights, San Diego, where the family-run business has maintained direct-trade relationships with coffee farmers across Colombia's growing regions since 2018. The name references the Willys Jeep — called a yipao — that the owners drive across Colombian highlands to source beans at origin, hand-selecting varieties including Pink Bourbon, Blue Gesha, and SL28 Natural from estates in Huila, Tolima, and Nariño. All coffee is roasted in small batches in San Diego, and the 92116 bar pours single-origin pour-overs on a rotating schedule alongside espresso drinks, a Colombian mocha, and a Colombian latte. The ground-floor café occupies a corner of the same two-story, 10,500-square-foot building that houses Kairoa Brewing Company's New Zealand-influenced brewpub, creating a dual coffee-and-beer anchor at the corner of Park Blvd and Madison Avenue. Non-coffee options include guanábana juice, coconut lemonade, peppermint lemonade, passion fruit juice, and herbal teas, alongside Colombian arepas and pastries including a flaky Kouing Amann. Yipao hosts periodic cupping sessions and producer meet-and-greet events that bring Colombian farmers to San Diego for educational tastings, and the roastery partners with organizations supporting women coffee producers. Park Blvd runs directly south into Balboa Park from this block, and University Heights' dining corridor extends north and south along the boulevard. Restaurants university heights searches index to this stretch, where neighboring Mediterranean and Turkish kitchens at Bosforo continue the block's international food identity. The café also operates a second location in Pacific Beach at 4480 Haines Street, and retail bags of single-origin coffee are available for purchase on-site and through the online shop.
