Cargo Cafe - Centerside

This is a cafe located in a business park per se - 2 high rises. There aren't other food options that you could walk to for food while on break or lunch from your office. I add this info because it seems that if there were other options people may not use Cargo Cafe. I typically only get beverages here and have purchased beverages a few times at this location. On this visit I opted for a breakfast bowl. The menu item is Scramble Protein Bowl: Eggs, Sausage, Potatoes, cheese. I added pickled onions. The menu board in store didn't specify that the sausage is chorizo sausage or I wouldn't have selected this item. The item took a long time to prepare and seemed to be prepackaged and microwaved. The label was how is discovered the sausage is chorizo. The components were all stuck together and not due to the melted cheese. You know when you microwave things too long and then they stick together-thats what it was. I gave the food a 3 star because it was eggs, sausage potatoes and cheese, but it wasn't flavorful and didn't seem to have been prepared on site, it seemed to be reheated and it took way too long for a reheated dish. Service gets 4 stars because the staff taking orders were pleasant and courteous. The atmosphere is very nice. If your order would come out faster it would be a nice place to eat/drink. It is a convenient location and that may be what drives their business.

Hidden gem inside bougie office building, first hour of parking is free. Coffee was delicious and the view, beautiful and relaxing. Small landscaped lake with fountain and seating in the center courtyard. This is a small boutique coffee chain with other locations in La Jolla and Sorrento Valley.

Parking: First hour free for guests

Cargo Café was a great find! Their matcha latte was great! I’ve been in search of good iced matcha in San Diego and Cargo Cafe is one of the first places that doesn’t make it a watery / light green color. The matcha was a strong green color and tasted yummy. Chocolate croissant was good as well.

This place exceded my expectations, I didn’t think they were open to the public because it’s attached to a office building, but 1 hr free parking, and open to all, with great indoor AND outdoor seating
