Coffee for the Soul, Rooted in City Heights

More Than Coffee. it's a Cultural Connection.

Cafeina Café was founded in 2019 by Andrew Benavides, a first-generation Salvadoran and Honduran-American with a vision to bring culture, community, and craft together in one space.

With direct-trade beans sourced from farmers in El Salvador and Honduras—and deep roots in City Heights—our coffee tells a story. Every roast honors our people. Every pour holds purpose.

“Coffee for the Soul” isn’t just a slogan—it’s the way we brew, serve, and connect. It’s about intention in every step. Comfort in every sip. And pride in the roots that got us here.

City Heights is one of San Diego’s most diverse neighborhoods, and Cafeina is proud to reflect that. From hosting local creatives to showcasing culture through flavor, our café is a living tribute to the community we serve.
