A Guide to Mission Valley Coffee Shops
Milano Coffee Co.
Nestled at the base of a residential building just off Qualcomm Way, Milano is a hallmark among Mission Valley coffee shops, given its comfy armchairs, art-dappled walls, communal tabletops, touches of greenery, tasty breakfast dishes, nutritious fruit smoothies, and tantalizing aroma of gourmet java. The attention to detail that has gone into designing this wholesome abode with a delightful balance of charm and utility makes it an easy go-to for daytime meetings with colleagues, long overdue coffee dates, and solo study sessions.
The King’s Craft Coffee Co.
If you truly love and appreciate the art of java, search no further than King’s Craft, which has been a center for coffee culture in San Diego since 2016, is passionate about roasting the world’s finest beans in-house, and serves thoughtfully crafted, rewardingly delicious seasonal beverages like the Chocolate Waterfall and banana and caramel-hinted Golden Ticket. Keep in mind, they don’t have room for seating inside, so consider grabbing a chair on the tranquil outdoor patio or simply enjoying your morning delight on the go.
Better Buzz Coffee
Occupying a walk-up space snuggled amongst the storefronts lining San Diego’s iconic Fashion Valley – an upscale, open-air shopping mall – Better Buzz’s coffee bar is a necessary addition to any shopping spree! The aesthetically gifted spot has a sleek, modern design showcasing honeycomb tile surfaces, vibrant plants, and bright neon signage reading “Life’s Better Buzzed.” Fuel your day with a wide range of classics like the Iced Horchata Latte, vanilla-hinted Best Day Ever, or when in the mood for something extra sweet, one of their gram-worthy acai bowls.
Jane’s Cafe
On the first floor of the TD Ameritrade building near the intersection of I-8 and Highway 163, Jane’s serves fantastic breakfast and lunch fare made utilizing carefully sourced ingredients, as well as exceptional espresso drinks. Whether you’d like to settle into a cozy corner and appreciate the company of loved ones over a steamy cup of joe, stop by for a quick lunch break, or peacefully work amidst the familiar comforts of a reliable neighborhood gathering place, whatever the case may be, Jane’s has got you covered.
Cargo Cafe
Situated in a beautiful glass office tower on Camino Del Rio, Cargo Cafe serves soul-stirring lattes, lite bites, and refreshing fruit smoothies amidst bright bohemian digs accentuated by warm earthy tones set against minimalistic white walls, chic furnishings, hanging gardens, great big windows that let the sunshine pour on through, and an outdoor patio graced with the soothing sounds of a water fountain.
