Brickyard Coffee & Tea

The most comfortable coffeeshop in San Diego.
Brickyard0

Synopsis
This is one of my favorite places to spend a lazy Sunday morning with a newspaper, bagel, and latte. The brick walls, couch, tasteful artwork, and supply of newspapers and magazines nicely complement their coffee drinks and unpretentious menu. Brickyard is also a great place for a simple morning or midday meal for those who work downtown.

What a great place for a casual meal or cup of coffee. For morning fare, you can choose from their small assortment of pastries and bagels, cereals from your childhood packaged in serving size cups, granola, and other assorted goodies. Should you want hot food, you will be having a breakfast burrito or an eggy dish. For afternoons, you can enjoy a limited selection of tasty sandwiches, soups, salads and chili.

The food is not the point at Brickyard, though. It is a place to get lost in an enormous coffee drink as you listen to their music, read their magazines, and relax in their cozy room. Unlike other comfortable coffee shops in San Diego, Brickyard is not overrun with young squatters occupying tables for hours on end as they finish their term papers. People leaf through a paper or two as they eat, enjoy a quick conversation, and leave.

Nearby street parking is metered, so if you bring a car, bring some quarters. Except on Sundays. (Thank God for that! No, really.)

The trolley stops right outside their doors, so you will hear, see, and if you choose to dine on the patio, feel the trolleys as they pass. The trolley stop is technically the Seaport Village stop, but the soulless pit of tourist despair that is Seaport Village is really a few blocks away.

If you know of anything else that belongs here, let me know. I just might add it.
