Women-Owned Coffee Shops Steal the Spotlight
As we celebrate Women’s History Month, San Diego takes pride in being home to the largest number of women-owned businesses in California. Among the most delightful are the charming coffee shops that feature unique brews and a community-driven atmosphere.

The cozy setting makes it a local favorite, and it closes its doors at 3 p.m. Customers flock to enjoy their acclaimed coffee, matcha, and a variety of alternative milk options. Vegan and gluten-free food choices are available, with the acai bowls being particularly popular. Plus, they sell their own delightful coffee blends, perfect for fueling up before hitting the nearby SDSU campus. Interested folks can find them on Instagram at @ultreya_coffee.
Next up is the newly opened Lemon Grove Coffee, co-owned by Casey Daughtery and Hannah Calo-Witt.

Open from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., the menu features very unique drink options such as the “Tropical Irishman” and “Hawaiian Créme Brûlée” lattes.
