“The owner April knows what she is doing and has a great selection of coffee.”
Roger, Google Maps review (2014-08-05)
Broke Girls' Coffee Bar
Normal Heights, San DiegoClosed
Now closed. A laid-back Normal Heights cafe Roger liked for shaded, vintage-table outdoor seating, cold brews and raw cookies, run by an owner (April) he says knew her coffee.
Broke Girls' Coffee Bar closed not long after Roger's visit and the space reopened as Backyard Café, per local press coverage at the time. This page keeps his 2014 review as a record, not as a place to visit.
A whiskey-forward Normal Heights cocktail bar Roger frequented from its opening, praised for fair prices, a deep whiskey list led by the Wolf Ticket, and a Burnside-shared food menu.

Roger rated this 4 stars, calling the empanadas the bomb, the beef tongue dank and full of flavor, the breaded pork chop perfect with huge portions and good prices, and the guava milkshake bomb.
A Normal Heights vegetarian and vegan institution Roger calls one of the better plant-based joints in town, with a 'neat loaf' plate that wins over meat-loaf lovers and a lentil soup for big appetites.
