Cargo Cafe is such an amazing cafe to study and chill at. Nice lowkey vibes with an artificial oasis/lake in the middle for you to gaze upon while you sip your drinks. There are plenty of outlets and seating for you to study at - personally, this is now my favorite outdoor study space.I got a banana pineapple smoothie here which had natural fruits and was filled to the brim of the cup. However, it was pretty pricey around $8. Most of the menu is also pretty pricey for what the drinks are, but paying for the setting is worth it all.I definitely recommend this place if you like to study outdoors!

Hidden La Jolla coffee gem - if you need a spot to study that's outdoors (and still has chargers and fast wifi), (artificial) water views, and a solid coffee/breakfast menu with acai bowls, sandwiches, and pastries, this is the spot! It's in the middle of a business complex, close to off-campus apartments near UCSD (somewhat walkable distance from Regents and Eastgate Mall apartments), but also offers free parking.The coffee shop is closed on weekends, but you can still study there too! Just keep in mind the restrooms are located only within the offices, so there's no public restroom usage then, which can limit how long you might stay on weekends (unless you work in the complex and have restroom access still).

This coffee shop is a total hidden gem. Coffee is decent they have some healthy food and snack options. What makes it special is the view!! It's like an oasis in the middle of all the business and office buildings. Came here to work for a few hours and WiFi is great too. Staff is casually friendly. There's extra seating across the water as well.

I was looking for a place to grab a smoothie bowl/something light to eat for lunch when I came across this super cool hidden gym in the UTC business park area. The tranquility and isolation of this place is just what one needs when we work in a business park/office area. The people that work here are very friendly. They offer many coffee/tea options, acai bowls, smoothies, to go sandwiches/snacks and juices. I will be frequenting them a lot now that I know they are just about a 10 min walk from my work.

This place is so cool! Seating is lovely and location is in the middle of an office complex next to a lake (relaxing and pretty). I parked in the 4 hour visitor parking and on a Friday around 11 AM it wasn't crowded. The staff asked if we had been there before and when we hadn't they explained all their drink options. The most interesting were 4 options for cold brew cocktails (my party ordered a mint one). The mint one was lightly mint flavored and lightly sweet - very worth trying ($6). My party came for the acai bowls and we all got the mucho grande (most expensive at ~$11). It came with blueberries, banana, almond butter, raw honey, granola, and I forgot what else. The other bowls only come with berries and granola I think? The berries were nice and cold and there was a lot of good texture and flavor but my ONLY complaint is that acai base melted too quickly so it became more of a smoothie bowl and that's rly important to me that it stays kinda frozen for longer so that's why -1 star. I would def come back to work or study from here since it's quaint and a nice place with a lot of coffee options.
