BETTER BUZZ

There are multiple Better Buzz locations around San Diego and it's one of my favorite places for coffee! My favorite drink is an iced "Best Drink Ever" - they also have a lot of great food options, including acai bowls and avocado toast! 

GROUNDS BEAN BAR

Located in Crown Point and it is one of the cutest coffee shops I've been to! There is a mix of colors and patterns which make it very bright and cheery!

PARAKEET CAFE

Multiple locations around San Diego! Bright decor and a variety of food + drink options. They even have happy hour!

SPILL THE BEANS

Located in Downtown. I really liked their coffee- they serve Dark Horse Roasters. They have several drink options and bomb breakfast sandos! 

BRICK & BELL

Brick and Bell has a few locations, but the one I visited was in La Jolla. It's a super cute little cafe, right by the beach. They also have a great spot for outdoor seating. I 100% recommend trying their scones (they had a bunch of flavors!)

REFILL

Located in North Park. I tried one of their blended espresso drinks which was tasty (and not too sweet) as well as their egg & provolone croissant sandwich (so yum!). They also have a run club and happy hour - how fun!? 

COMMUNAL COFFEE

Locations in University Heights and South Park - Communal Coffee is a coffee shop and gift shop in one! It has the aesthetic for that perfect instagram shot and the food + coffee are delicious!

THE LIVING ROOM

This is a unique space that gives you the feel of being home in your own living room having coffee. It's a popular study spot for college students and they have a variety of baked goodies!

HOLY MATCHA

Locations in North Park and East Village. Holy Matcha is adorned with palm tree wallpaper and pink couches. I am not a huge fan of Matcha, but they have several other drinks options to pick from - I went with the rose lemonade! They also serve different toasts and soft serve!

S3 COFFEE BAR

Located in Mission Gorge. The rainbow latte is beautiful and they have cute decor as well as other fun food and drink options!

JOE & THE JUICE

As the name implies, this spot has coffee (joe) and juice, as well as shakes and sandwiches. It has a fun, upbeat vibe with music and vibrant decor! I tried the "pick me up" juice and will definitely be back to try their coffee. 

COFFEE N TALK

Located Downtown, Coffee N Talk is a quaint coffee shop. They offer a variety of drinks and snacks. I tried the iced Nutella latte and would definitely visit them again. They also have a super cute flower wall in the front which is ideal for pictures.

JAMES COFFEE CO.

James Coffee Co. has multiple locations in San Diego. The one located in Little Italy is a unique combination of different shops - included a home shop, a card shop, a barber shop, a hair salon, and more! They also have a spot to play games, such as dominoes & chess! I had the iced mexican mocha & it was delicious.

MONIKER GENERAL

Moniker General is located in Liberty Station. It's a very unique spot that offers coffee, cocktails, shopping, and an Instagram opportunity all in one! I really liked the laid back vibe and the options for different types of beverages! They also have a cool outdoor space with long tables for socializing!
