About Five Corners Coffee
Five Corners Coffee & Bakery Co. is a specialty coffee and bakery group opening its first location in San Diego's Bankers Hill neighborhood. Built around an exclusive sourcing and roasting partnership with Kings Road Coffee — the celebrated Los Angeles roaster founded in 1990 — we're on a mission to deliver craft coffee and hospitality at the highest level in a relaxed but focused environment.
Our signature house blend, sourced from five countries and crafted exclusively for Five Corners, is hand-roasted in small batches in LA. Our pastry program, led by Sarah Salcedo of Tu Madre's Bakery, is a Latin-inspired menu that's both elevated and deeply personal. Every detail of the experience — the coffee, the food, the partnerships, the space — has been chosen with intention.
