r/sandiegoApril 2021 Some San Diego Library locations have outdoor patios with free wifi and laptops
r/sandiegoFebruary 2021 Subterranean Cafe in North Park
r/sandiegoApril 2021 Meraki in University Heights has a nice open back patio, only issue is that their wifi is spotty in the back but otherwise would recommend
r/SanDieganJanuary 2026mixed Krakatoa in Golden Hill, Blackmarket Bakery & Influx in North Park all have good patios and wifi
r/sandiegoNovember 2020 Krakatoa in Golden Hill, Blackmarket Bakery & Influx in North Park all have good patios and wifi
r/sandiegoNovember 2020 Lestat’s in Hillcrest is pretty good. Lots of seating and plugs. It used to be open almost 24/7 but looks like hours were reduced.
r/sandiegoApril 2021 I like elixir espresso on Garnett. They have a few tables outside but even if you sit inside it feels very open due to the white walls and natural light.
r/SanDieganJanuary 2026 Mike Hess in north park is perfect for this. WiFi & tons of space + food from different places depending on the day
r/SanDieganOctober 2022 I like modern times in Point Loma/Sports Arena area. I've worked there a ton.
