Burgers

Roger visited during the start of pandemic lockdown and found a hustling, friendly team turning out old-school diner burgers he called In-N-Out-level, with fries he liked even better.

Roger long praised this in-house roaster's pour-over coffee and craft beer selection, but a later visit soured after a rude staff member gave attitude over a pour-over order.

A Barrio Logan coffee roaster and cafe that became one of Roger's favorites: beans roasted in-house, a 24-hour brew he preferred over the popular V12, quick wifi, ample seating and even a bike fixing station out front.
