Mostra Coffee: Purpose-Driven Craft and Global Flavors in Every Cup

Mostra Coffee stands out in San Diego’s specialty coffee scene as both an award-winning roastery and a vibrant community hub, founded by four friends driven by a mission to uplift coffee farmers and elevate human connection. With roots that began in a humble garage, Mostra is now celebrated internationally, having received Roast Magazine’s coveted 2020 Micro Roaster of the Year award. Co-founders Jelynn Malone—a dynamic entrepreneur and actor—and Beverly Magtanong—a classically trained opera singer—infuse the brand with artistry, passion, and a commitment to creating positive change. Their pursuit of greatness is reflected in every aspect of the Mostra experience, from meticulous sourcing of beans (including highly acclaimed lots from the Philippines) to the soulful, eclectic décor and genuine hospitality that greet each guest.

Mostra’s coffee portfolio dazzles with both single origins and expertly crafted blends, showcasing beans from the Philippines, Latin America, and Africa, each roasted to accentuate terroir and complexity. The cafe’s lineup features signature drinks like the crème brûlée latte and campfire mocha, alongside award-winning espresso and hand-brewed coffees. Food offerings include thoughtfully sourced pastries and light bites that complement the nuanced profiles of their beverages. Sustainability efforts shine in their compostable packaging and commitment to inclusivity. Whether savoring a slow pour at the communal table or grabbing a to-go treat, visitors find Mostra’s vibrant energy, dedication to craft, and community-focused ethos make every visit a memorable performance.
