Cafe Libertalia is considered by many here in San Diego as "an everyday oasis"  or a “home-office, away from their home-office”. While here, guests can check their email and surf the web, complete work or school assignments, download music and load it onto their iPods and much more. We offer a spacious setting with multiple computers, Internet access & Wi-Fi access.

At Cafe Libertalia, you'll also find light food, desserts and a full array of coffees and other drinks.  You can eat, drink, relax and feast your eyes on the artwork on display, provided by local artists.

And lastly, what really makes Cafe Libertalia unique is our "Libertalia Lounge" -- a semi-private space in the cafe designed for a variety of events, classes, meetings -- away from espresso machines and blenders.  The lounge is equipped with a digital projector and screen, sound equipment with microphones, and can be configured in a variety of arrangements to suit your needs. 

Many different types of groups have made Cafe Libertalia their home for monthly, or even weekly meetings, simply by scheduling the dates with us.  Call us to find out about using the space for your events. 

In addition to these events organized by outside groups, we offer several recurring events, such as... Monday evening economics study group; every Wednesday, Comedy on the Crest, improv comedy with Comedy Under Construction; Thursday nights' 'Poetry & Pontification' and Sunday evenings' Open Mic.  Please keep checking our Events page for new types of listings, as we intend to be continually growing and adding exciting events and activities.
