About Us

Young Hickory is the little coffee shop on 30th Street that North Park keeps coming back to, with a second home over in East Village.

We pour Bird Rock Coffee, pull a tight list of espresso drinks, and keep the cooler stocked with craft beer cans.

You probably know us for the Cinnamon Toast Latte — cinnamon-steeped milk, a double shot, and a dusting of cinnamon sugar on top. It is the drink that keeps people walking back up 30th.

The room is built for staying a while: big tables, plenty of outlets, fast WiFi, and a patio for the days when San Diego behaves. We are wheelchair accessible, we are open late, and yes — there is beer in the fridge.

We are a neighbourhood shop first. Regulars get their order started before they reach the counter, dogs get water bowls, and nobody is in a hurry to turn the tables.

Come for the coffee. Stay for the neighborhood.
