San Diego’s coffee scene is rapidly expanding with more and more cafes and roasters competing to be your go-to spot for your daily pick-me-up. To help you figure out which are the best coffee shops in San Diego, I asked the ever helpful, ever caffeinated community of MeetnGreeters where they like to go to get their cup of jo. Here is what they had to say…
Caffe Calabria

According to Patricia P.: “They have delicious coffee, and they roast their beans on site. They also have really good Italian-style food including sandwiches and pizza. It is a great atmosphere perfect for hanging out.” Let me tell you, Patricia P. knows what she is talking about. This place is good!

Linsday P. gives us an extra tip about her favorite spot, “Order the dirty bird if you go. AMAZING!!” I will seriously vouch for that! Not to mention that their Acai Bowls are delish.
Bump Coffee
Little Italy Farmer’s Mercato

Okay, so this one isn’t exactly a coffee shop. You’ll have to stop by their booth at the Little Italy Farmer’s Market on Saturdays or keep an eye out for their new coffee truck around town. But Denise M. makes it sound worth the hunt, “It’s nice to grab a warm cup on cool days or iced cup on the warm days and enjoy being outside. My most recent try was with Bump. The prices seemed better than others and the coffee was great without needing to add any extras. They have an iced mojito coffee that was a different, fun and tasty option!” Um, YUM!
Better Buzz
Various Locations

If you haven’t tried Better Buzz yet, you are seriously missing out. This company has exploded over the past few years so finding a location near you should not be difficult. Tanya Young writes, “Better Buzz is my absolute favorite! I go to the one in PB, there is always a HUGE line, but worth the wait!!!!” She’s right!
Chi Chocolat
Liberty Station – Point Loma

Zeynep W. “loves” this place. “They serve coffee, fancy chocolates, plus breakfast and lunch. Not sure about dinner? They use real chocolate in their mochas and hot chocolates. Definitely recommend their Mexican Hot Chocolate or their Spiced Mocha. Yum!” I agree with her! There is nothing quite as delicious as the real melty chocolate they scoop into your drink…SO GOOD!!
Cafe Bassam
Banker’s Hill
Anna C. does not want us to forget Cafe Bassam. “Love the vintage vibe; feels like a speakeasy. Their iced Mexican Mochas are unreal! Located in Banker’s Hill. Go there!” I think you guys should listen to her!
