Hillcrest Turnkey Coffee Shop — Premium Build-Out, Unbeatable Walkability, Huge Upside (Perfect for Owner-Operator or Coffee + Art Gallery Concept)

Located in the heart of Hillcrest, one of San Diego’s most walkable and energetic neighborhoods, this beautifully designed coffee shop offers exceptional street exposure, constant foot traffic, and a strong local following.

Surrounded by new luxury condos and ongoing development, the area draws a steady stream of residents, professionals, and visitors—making this a standout location for a family-run business, a working owner, or a curated concept such as a coffee bar + rotating local artist gallery.

This shop was professionally built with a modern, high-end design—sleek finishes, soaring ceilings, and an eye-catching interior that feels current, clean, and “Instagram-ready.” The business is currently fully staffed with a manager in place, but there is significant upside for a hands-on owner to increase profitability and take the concept to the next level.

Best Fit for :
Owner-operator or family-run coffee shop (maximize margins by working the business)
Coffee + art gallery / local artist showcase (rotating wall displays, featured artist nights, small events)
Add-on menu items: crepes, waffles, breakfast sandwiches, grab-and-go lunch, etc.
Extend hours to capture more morning, afternoon, and evening traffic
