Cafe Bassam in Banker’s Hill is a great little spot
r/sandiegoApril 2021 Sleek, modern coffee shop with plenty of seating options. ... Park on 29th Street.
Corrie Monteverde There is ample seating and tables to post up at. They keep the atmosphere nice and quiet at this café.
SD House GuysNovember 2024 Subterranean Cafe in North Park
r/sandiegoApril 2021 Although it can get quite crowded downstairs, you’ll normally be able to find a quiet spot upstairs. Wifi is good and there are plugs everywhere.
Spend Life TravelingAugust 2026 Super cute and bigger than expected. ... score the ‘private’ table with plugins if you’re early.
Corrie Monteverde if you can get one of the three tables by those windows on the end, this is the best working spot you can find in La Jolla. ... On the flip side, the entire rest of the store is the worst.
