Cafe Bassam

Cafe Bassam is a charming, vintage-filled spot in Bankers Hill situated just a block away from Balboa Park. The cafe offers an extensive selection of teas displayed in glass jars that can be ordered hot or iced, alongside coffee, pastries, and outdoor seating.

Patrons deeply love this long-standing establishment for its intriguing aesthetic and quality drinks, especially highlighting the Mexican mocha. While many appreciate the availability of wine, some warn that hot drinks served in stemmed wine glasses can be tricky to hold and may burn your hands.
