San Diego Coffee Scene Is a Buzz

This past weekend in San Diego, we hopscotched between several coffee shops. The two local chains are Better Buzz and Bird Rock. There are several located throughout the city. Their coffee tastes great! The locations are welcoming with great seating. They are open late and full of students and people being productive”.

We also loved Trident Coffee in Pacific Beach and Il giardino di Lilli in La Jolla. The latter is truly for hanging out and having coffee. No laptops allowed.

Congratulations Starbucks, you’ve ruined coffee shops!

After a weekend here, I am convinced there is hope post-Starbucks. San Diego is leaving Starbucks and Coffee Bean behind. Dare I say that San Diego’s coffee scene beats Seattle’s? Let’s hope we can restore the Bay Area and South Bay scene soon.
