Our Top 5 Favorite Coffee Shops in San Diego

Our Printer Recommendations

By Sherin Tebbi

At Out & About, we love getting out and about San Diego as much as we can. We’ve made it our local duty to find some of the hidden gem coffee shops to spend some time at; whether it be to grab a cup of joe or spend endless hours working with our computers -- here are a few of our (current) favorites:

Young Hickory - North Park

Young Hickory is the perfect mix of local coffee, food and bar. If we had the time, we’d probably spend the entire day here. The atmosphere is super chill, open, and electrically charged with outlets and WiFi. It’s easy to work at with minimal distractions and some awesome company. With fun grub names like “The Snob” and “The Chimp,” we highly recommend spending some time at Young Hickory the next time you’re around North Park. Bonus: Try the espresso + beer to get the best of both worlds!

Turquoise Cellars - Pacific Beach

Turquoise is a hidden gem that can be found in north Pacific Beach. It defines itself as a, “Relaxed coffee shop with light fare by day, intimate wine bar with refined small plates by night.” We love spending time at Turquoise because it captures the true San Diego vibes. It’s a few blocks from the beach and has huge open windows to let the air in. Time flies when you’re working here and it’s a hit amongst the locals. Get there early to snag a spot by an outlet if you’re planning on working! Bonus: A huge wine collection to try at night!

UPDATE Sept. 2017: Turquoise has closed! (sad face)

Le Parfait Paris- Downtown

Another coffee shop with cocktails and wines, Le Parfait Paris is a fairly newer spot in Downtown but it captures the beauty of coffee and San Diego perfectly. It was voted San Diego Magazine’s Best Bakery for 2015 -- and let us vouch, they aren’t lying! Grab a coffee and a sweet treat here and you won’t be disappointed! Bonus: They offer speedy wifi with many outlets!

Holsem - North Park

Holsem (wholesome, get it?), is another awesome (and newish) coffee shop in the North Park neighborhood of San Diego. The coffee at Holsem is carefully and craftfully brewed to perfection. Their brand cultivates pure ingredients with no preservatives, colors or additives. Their unique coffee concoctions make us itching to go back all the time. Bonus: Must try the nutella coffee drink!!!

Better Buzzed - Encinitas

A San Diego favorite! Better Buzzed has gained quite the reputation around San Diego and it quickly has captured many hearts. This location, specifically, is by far the favorite in our books. It is absolutely adorable with an awesome staff and even more delicious drinks. They have wifi to be able to work at, however, we recommend just going to enjoy the atmosphere and coffee! Be careful, it gets busy! Bonus: You can get all of their yummy drinks with half the sweetener to avoid any extra sugar highs.
