Talitha Coffee Roasters: Where Quality Brews Hope
Talitha Coffee Roasters stands out in San Diego’s specialty coffee scene not only for its award-winning beans but for its soul-deep commitment to uplifting survivors of human trafficking. Founded by Jenny and Robert Barber—Jenny a passionate advocate and survivor herself, Robert a certified Q Grader—Talitha channels decades of nonprofit devotion into every vibrant, specialty-grade roast. Their roastery near downtown pulses with purposeful energy, blending meticulous craft with a mission to foster real change. Every cup here supports a brighter future, making Talitha a beacon for both coffee lovers and those who champion people-first business.
Recognized as a three-time medalist at the prestigious Golden Bean North America awards, Talitha’s portfolio brims with excellence: the bright, balanced Talitha Sunrise blend claimed two medals, while the Arise Organic blend secured another. Their offerings extend from signature blends and single-origin beans to nitro cold brew. Certified by the Specialty Coffee Association and USDA Organic, Talitha consistently wins praise for both flavor and ethical sourcing. Each visit—whether for a house specialty or a curated subscription—lets guests savor top-tier coffee and join a community brewing hope, one cup at a time.
