And its located in an artisan shopping center with stores like Whole Foods and Sprinkles, which serves gourmet cupcakes that you should totally get with your coffee (yay sugar rush and caffeine rush all at once!). I love it there and I love their coffee!"
"Philz Coffee is a chain of coffee shops present throughout the US, and this Californian city is no exception. Despite it being a part of a chain, though, many locals will tell you that this is the best coffee shop in San Diego.

Now their artisan micro-roasting company is collaborating with a list of breweries like Stone Brewing Co., Karl Strauss, Green Flash, Abnormal Beer Co., and many more. The bourbon-barrel-aged stout Mostra created with 3 Sons Brewing even won Best Beer at this year’s Hunahpu Day Beer Fest."
"Mostra Coffee is named after the Italian word for "show, exhibition and performance," and it definitely steals the show. For the past four years, Mostra served its delicious coffee out of its roasting warehouse, but it recently opened an official café and retail space in Carmel Mountain. This beautiful space features an "English industrial" design and houses the only Mavam espresso machine in San Diego."
