Best coffee shops with wifi near me

Whether you are looking for the best coffee shops to study in San Diego or a quiet cafe with wifi to get some work done, check out the list of recommended places below.

I work remotely and over the past few years I have spent a lot of time working from different places in San Diego.

Some cities are more suitable for remote workers and digital nomads than others. And I have to say, San Diego has so many coffee shops to work from plus great co-working options making this a perfect city for working remotely!

From the large number of coffee shops in San Diego, it’s hard to choose just a few top places.

But, I talked to a lot of other remote workers and students and these are the ones we call our favorites. Not only because of the good coffee but also because they offer good Wifi, enough space and a nice atmosphere to find a comfortable place to set up your office for a few hours.

They tend to be the more quiet coffee shops, making them great places to study in San Diego as well.

1. Lestat’s Coffee House on Adams Avenue

3343 Adams Ave
San Diego, CA 92116

Lestat Coffee House – a great coffee shop to work from in San Diego

I love this place! Open from 6:30am until midnight, 7 days a week and almost always packed with many people working away on their laptops.

Although it’s quite a big coffee shop the cozy atmosphere almost makes it feel like you are at home. Plus they offer good coffee, great sandwiches, and good Wifi.

It can get busy, especially around lunchtime, plus if you are unlucky you might have to park a few blocks away.

Lestat’s also has a coffee shop on Park Blvd and one in Hillcrest.

2. Jennings House Cafe (previously called Living Room)

1018 Rosecrans Street
San Diego, CA 92106

Best coffee shops with wifi near me

I’ve long lost track of the number of hours I’ve spent working from here. Located in a converted home, this casual coffee shop is loved by people who have some work or studying to do.

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.

Their prices are reasonable, they have a delicious selection of pastries and a good lunch menu.

Note: check their opening hours before you go here. At the time of writing their opening hours are limited (from 6am until 2pm, Friday – Tuesday) but this might change.

3. Caffe Calabria

San Diego, CA 92104

If you are craving a good Italian cup of coffee this is the place to go!

Definitely a step more serious than your neighborhood coffee shop. Their Italian paninis are delicious, and so are their pizzas baked in a custom-built wood-fired oven.

This cafe is a great place for an early start with a good cup of coffee, but also for a working lunch or dinner.

They open at 7am every day. Unfortunately they do close at 2:30pm on Monday and Tuesday (10pm on other days).

4. Crushed

Crushed is a bar/restaurant and not a coffee shop but this trendy place in Pacific Beach is a good spot to get some work done and either have a delicious brunch or grab a beer while you finish up for the day.

Their mimosas are good too!

They don’t open until 10am, but they do stay open until 8pm, 7 days a week.

5. Brick & Bell Café

928 Silverado St. & 2216 Avenida de la Playa
La Jolla, San Diego, CA 92109

Best coffee shops with wifi near me

If you are looking for an early start to get some work or studying done, Brick & Bell is a perfect option!

They open every day at 6am, and apart from roasting their own coffee, they also bake fresh pastry every morning. Their scones are a favorite of many!

They have two locations in La Jolla, and both offer breakfast and lunch options.

They close around 5pm.

6. Cafe Virtuoso

1616 National Avenue
San Diego, CA 92113

If you are in need of a good cup of coffee or tea this is the place to go!

Cafe Virtuoso is a local artisan coffee roaster focusing exclusively on fair trade and organic coffees.

Their baristas are very friendly and knowledgeable and their choices of coffee are great. The place has a cool, industrial vibe unlike any other coffee shop in San Diego.

The roastery is open to the public so you can watch coffee being roasted and buy some roasted coffee beans to take home.

Downside: although they open reasonably early (7.30am on weekdays) they do close at 2pm. But it’s a great place to start your workday!

7. Communal Coffee

2335 University Ave 
SAN DIEGO, CA 92104

Communal Coffee is a great coffee shop to work or study in.

Their North Park location is my favorite, but they also have a cafe in South Park and one in Oceanside.

With a bright, modern interior it’s a very good setting to get some work done.

I love coming here for breakfast because apart from good coffee they also have great breakfast options.

The menu at each location is slightly different, and so are the opening hours, so check those before you decide where to go.

great study places

The San Diego public library has over 30 locations so there is a good chance there is one near you.

The central library on Park Boulevard is a large, modern library with good Wifi, ample seating and a great selection of books, magazines, and newspapers.

Most other locations are small and often quiet making them good options as well to get some work or studying done.

The biggest downside of all public library locations in San Diego: they don’t open until 9.30am or even later.

Best coffee shops with wifi near me

Which coffee shop has best Wi

In 2019, small, elite coffee chain Joe & the Juice takes the crown for the fastest coffee chain Wi-Fi, while Dunkin' Donuts beats Starbucks in terms of speed among big national chains.

Should I use coffee shop Wi

Since public WIFI networks are open, they are exposed to many threats. They are inherently less secure because you have no idea who set it up and who else is using it. Also, data sent through a public WIFI network is vulnerable to interception and you risk the security of your personal data and money.

Does Starbucks have good Wi

If you want to use the internet at Starbucks, then you may wonder how fast it is. Starbucks actually has the fastest internet of all fast-food or casual restaurants in the country. Its average download speed is 9 Mbps. That's more than double the speed of the internet at McDonald's which has a speed of 4 Mbps.

Does go get Em Tiger have Wi

Go Get Em Tiger is basically a full-blown chain now, with eight locations across the city (all of which have excellent wifi), but whenever we have a deadline that, oh we don't know, has already passed, we head to their Santa Monica outpost.
