My daughter texted me, "Tip that place. They have good taste," after I shared a pic of the album covers on the wall. And yes, they have great taste in coffee. I fell in love with this spot after settling down with my red eye, laptop fired up, and Frank Ocean playing in the background. I've hit this spot 3 of 4 days since I've been here. Why? They made me feel welcome among their regulars. They care about crafting your drink of choice. And the service is amazing without being pretentious. If you're in the area, put this on your must stop list. Coffee. Music. People. It's a quiet storm vibe.

Quiet Storm Coffee Shop is easily one of my favorite neighborhood spots. I visit frequently, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind with a good book or just enjoy the laid-back vibe. One of the best things about this spot is that it stays open late--a rare find for a coffee shop. Plus, the fact that they serve alcoholic drinks is a huge bonus. The staff is always friendly and chill, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere.

The whole vibe at this place is exactly what this city needs. It was cute, full of love, chill, good energy, peaceful with a hint of "this place can turn up" when it needs to be. Service is impeccable. They noticed it was my first time here and gave me the lowdown on the drinks and events happening in the space. Took time even though there was a line building up behind me to make my experience personalized. Didn't get any food but them cookies on display looked huge and delicious. Looking at the menu, their teas actually sounded more interesting than their coffees. But it was the beginning of my day and I needed some caffeine. So I went with a Strawberry n Cream coffee with oat milk. That was smooth. Not my favorite but the oat milk was the right choice. It enhanced the flavors just right. I also got a Chocolate Frosty with coconut milk and that was so good I wanted to turn back and shake the baristas hand. That is a must if you come here. About 20 spots to sit down and do so work. Bring headphones if you wanna listen to your own music because they do have 90s music playing which I was a fan of. Didn't make note of any outlets however. Later on in the day, you can order beer and wine there as well. It's a tiny place but powerful. It's BIPOC owned as well. Only downside is that parking is terrible there. Maybe try Balboa park and walk over. It's super close. Either way 5 stars from me!

I love this idea and this space. It's such a vibey spot tucked away but still in the area. I'm giving it four stars because the coffee wasn't very tasteful. This would be a great spot to have a beer or smoke a cigar outside if you're into those things!

Great espresso martini, delicious blue berry muffin and great workers. Very aesthetically pleasing environment as well.

Vanilla Latte
Erika T.

A very interesting layout on the inside, doesn't really feel the usual coffee shop where there is a lot of seating and people studying. Mostly a good spot to stop by and grab a coffee or a pastry. Or also smoke a cigar! They have some outside seating for people to smoke a cigar if desired. There is street parking but can be hard to find. Ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte. It was very good and was on the milkier side and a bit sweeter than I like. But overall still really good and I would come again. They have other non-coffee options and had some happy hour signs posted as they also serve alcoholic drinks.

Ube Latte
Adrienne C.

This one star is simply for the good music, banana bread, and the nice guy who rang me up. I stood at the register for over 7 minutes waiting for someone to ring me up. I got the ube iced coffee and a banana bread. The coffee was not good. At all. No taste of ube, watered down, just... not good. The banana bread was AMAZING!

Cozy set up, friendly service and open late. New go to spot to avoid the stuffy crowds at other late night study cafes. Good vibes all around support your local hole in the wall!

Bacon quiche, must have!
Sabi M.

Local family run business that deserves your patronage!! Was walking by and saw they had the fight playing so thought I'd join and watch. Ordered a matcha tea and quiche, not thinking much...THE QUICHE WAS SOOOOO GOOD that I immediately went in and ordered 2 more!!! Super flaky with bacon, to die for! He also had an egg white quiche but I'm more into whole egg so I didn't try. Bet it's good though. Came near closing and they said they won't kick me out, yay! They even carry milk substitutes and Stevia. I'm in love with this lil gem!

Isa's Latte with Soy, Half Sweet

Quiet storm roasters has such a unique vibe! They serve alcohol and coffee plus cigars which creates an interesting ambiance. The coffee was good and standard. The man who helped take my order was kind and even brought my coffee out to me!

Love this spot! They sell plants that you see throughout the shop. Friendly baristas and their drinks are tasty! Love that they have teas as well. It is relaxing and a great place to study or just hangout.

AMBIANCE Parking: Hillcrest area--street parking, might take a minute depending on the time. Seating: Multiple lounge-style areas--couches, chairs, even a pool table setup. Plenty of space to spread out and hang. Good for small groups Vibes: Welcome to the Hillcrest Gay-borhood. It's an eventful place from good eats to bars. This place leans heavy into that speakeasy / vintage lounge feel--dim lighting, moody atmosphere, and a slightly cinematic vibe. It almost feels like stepping into another era. DRINKS / EXPERIENCE They've got a solid selection of wine, beer, and cigars, and the humidor (cigar storage room) is stocked with a variety of options for different preferences. Even if you're not a cigar expert, the staff is known to help guide you toward something you'll actually enjoy--which makes it approachable for both beginners and regulars. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and knowledgeable. Rocky was pretty helpful. TL;DR OVERALL 4 Stars. Solid selections and pleasant vibes. I'm not into the cigar culture but it looks like a unique spot in San Diego. Great for a chill night out, especially if you're looking for something different from the usual bar scene. TIPS: * Take your time--this isn't a rush-through spot * Ask for recommendations if you're new to cigar

But as soon as i walked in, I knew I was in for a gem and it didn't disappoint. I had such a great experience at Cigar Cave! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel right at home. They were fun and totally added to the vibe of the place, even if they inserted themselves into our conversation. Their energy was part of some really dope vibes and good fun! The selection of cigars they recommended based on the flavor profiles we described was spot-on. They have hundreds of cigars as well. Close the door when you enter and exit to keep the cigars fresh. They also serve beer and wine in cool glasses, which was a nice touch. The place has a low-lit, smokey, and had an edgy vibe that just screams chill. The decor is really unique and adds to the overall ambiance. Plus, they'll even change the TV to whatever you want, so you can kick back and enjoy your time however you like. It's super comfy and relaxed. I would definitely recommend this spot to others but not too many because I want to make this part of my monthly routine. If you're in Hillcrest and want a laid-back, fun place to grab a cigar, this is it!

Seating: Indoor seating and outdoor lounge setup with chairs and tables--very laid back and open. You even get to sit in an island on the road. Vibes: Welcome to the Hillcrest Gay-borhood. Super unique. It's a coffee shop + plant shop + cigar lounge hybrid, which gives it a really relaxed, community feel. Definitely not your dark, moody cigar bar--this is more daytime-friendly, approachable, and welcoming. It feels like a spot where you can casually hang, whether you're new to cigars or already into them. DRINKS / EXPERIENCE They've got a curated selection of premium cigars ranging from beginner to more experienced options, plus coffee, beer, and wine to pair with it. CUSTOMER SERVICE Isiah was dope! He was friendly, welcoming and knew his stuff. TL;DR OVERALL 4 Stars. Solid experience. Good range from cigars to the type of ambiance you're trying to take. A refreshing take on a cigar lounge. More casual and community-driven than traditional spots, which makes it super approachable. Great if you want to ease into cigars or just enjoy a relaxed hang in Hillcrest.

Welcome traveler to Racine & Laramie Tobacconist…read more The oldest smoke shop in America's Finest City. The service is a yes. The prices are on the higher side, but you're getting a great experience from start to finish while supporting a small thriving business in Old Town San Diego. Stellar collection of cigars, pipes, lighters and various things. Not to mention old timey tunes on their speakers. Fun fixtures and displays. They have coffee, soft drinks and small lounge area for those who wish to partake in store, not to mention some match books with their logo, great souvenir. We had a couple of Nubs (short thick stick cigars), great flavors for a shorter smoke time (draw it in, don't inhale - like with any cigar). Jeffrey (aka Jeff) was a dapper class act and gentleman, the guy you'll most like encounter and the first face you'll see when you walk in as well as on their site. R & L T has some good bundle deals and sales throughout the year. We encounter lots of kind and interesting folks during our visit in.
