Te Mana Cafe

Te Mana Cafe Te Mana Cafe, a popular coffee shop and Hawaiian restaurant located in Ocean Beach, CA, was known for its organic and destination-like atmosphere. Owned by native San Diegans Jason and Marguerite Cruz, the cafe was housed in a beautifully renovated 1924 craftsman style home that exuded an island vibe. With a menu inspired by island cuisine, Te Mana Cafe offered a variety of cocktails, local craft beer and wine, as well as handcrafted coffee and tea beverages. One of their unique features was the pour over station for coffee libations and the use of "coffee ice," which enhanced the flavor of iced drinks. The cafe also welcomed musicians who shared their talents with patrons. However, it is with great sadness to announce that Te Mana Cafe has permanently closed its doors.
