Today is the 8th annual “Taste of North
Park”. It’s this historic neighborhood’s
annual party celebrating food, craft brews and local hipness. This blog previewed the event (go to www.pillartopost.org on October 7, 2016)
for a roster of brew events.
Even though, North Park is easily San Diego’s leading craft
beer destination it is also the proud home to an outstanding collection of
coffee houses.
Here’s a list within walking distance of the Taste of North
Park epicenter, which is 30th and University. The list below is no means the entire coffee
experience in and around North Park, but for the purposes of today’s event—here
goes:
Caffe Calabria,
3933 30th Street.
Sophisticated, pioneer coffee house would do well in any U.S. or Euro
coffee capital. Classy place with all
the menu amenities in coffee and food.
Holsem, 2911
University Avenue (@30th).
Stylish, modern design, packed and delicious. Conveniently located between 2 yoga studios
for cool looking crowd.
Subterreanean Coffee
Boutique, 3764 30th Street.
Handsome young couple has made a this a go to place for coffee, tea,
pastries, sandwich board items.
Street Car Merchants,
30th & Lincoln. Gourmet donuts (huge sizes), coffee selections
and restaurant menu and a great people watching corner with indoor outdoor
seating.
Dark Horse, 3794
30th Street. Adjacent to
Waypoint Restaurant the tiny size here makes it a to-go coffee house. The shop has only three tables and the
clueless laptoppers plunk down and take up its tables. My complaint not Dark Horse’s.
Young Hictory,
4096 30th Street. No frills,
popular with more computers than Best Buy crowd but at least it’s a large
place.
Starbucks, 29th
& University. Great crew works hard
in a historic theatre landmark building.
Always have a fond place in my heart for this Starbucks because its
arrival gave a tenant base for the rehabbing of a beautiful building that had
been run down and was in danger of being torn down. Now look at it shine
