Excellent coffee and right across from the Cowles Mountain trail head! Climb the mountain and when you are done, run across the street and get a great cup of coffee! They have cold stuff too!

An outdoor cafe with a parkside bistro feel. Located directly across the street from the Cowles Mountain hiking trail. It's the perfect stop before or after a hike. We offer hot and iced drinks, blended drinks, and shave ice with yummy flavors like blueberry, coconut, and cherry.

"My favorite hiking trail in San Diego. I've done the regular hike countless times and always get a great work out. To add some variety hike Cowles during a full moon and also hike the back trail!"

"If you want a challenge try the Barker trail in the back of Cowles Mountain. It's a steep hike, but it leads to the same summit area as the main trail."
