Crema's Take

“Cargo Cafe feels like a serene retreat tucked into San Diego's Centerside, where you can settle in for hours surrounded by lush outdoor scenery and a sprawling courtyard dotted with nearly 100 tables. The coffee itself is genuinely well-executed—think perfectly crafted vanilla lattes and unique offerings like hibiscus tea with honey—and the pastries and light food menu keep you satisfied whether you're meeting someone or diving into work. It's spacious and quiet enough to actually focus, with generous parking validated during your stay, making it the kind of place where people hesitate to leave and keep coming back.”

Hesitant to leave a review because the coffee shop is as dialed in as the meeting area around it. There are about 100 tables so I think I'll be OK though. Service, coffee quality, design, choices, price, all 5/5 stars.

Great little coffee place. Atmosphere was delightful. Pastries looked good. Coffee was good. The scenery outside was great with the pond and fountain and all the green around. Great experience. Would not be opposed to visiting again.

Lovely coffee shop, with beautiful outdoors. Breakfast and lunch menus are great, vegetarian friendly. Good coffee -vanilla latte is my fave and their hibiscus tea w honey. I love gheir empanada caprese and ciabatta caprese sandwich. Plenty of parking, dog-friendly and friendly baristas.

I genuinely liked my experience here. You get three hours of parking (1 hr complimentary, two more when you validate). It’s a bit on the pricey side for coffee, but it’s quiet, clean, spacious, and well designed for studying or handling several tasks. The WiFi is strong and the service is good. I’ll be back. My Nutella and banana toast was great, and the almond bites made it even better.
