About Forum Coffee

Forum Coffee is probably the most underrated coffee shop in all of San Diego. Located in a low key strip mall off Genesee Ave in Clairemont, Forum Coffee is always packed with students studying, locals doing work, and friends catching up in their lively open space because everyone who knows knows that Forum is legit.

The coffee shop itself is huge and open with plenty of individual tables if you want to zone in and do work or more social set ups for group gatherings. The coffee is house roasted and delicious. Forum is likely best known for the sheer creativity of their drinks and food – think rose flavored iced coffee, horchata matcha lattes, watermelon guava teas, cheesy mushroom jalapeno croissants, and blueberry lavender cream cheese loafs.

There are DJ sets. There are flavors you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re near Convoy – go to Forum.
