What Chula Vista's weather means for coffee shops
There is little seasonal swing in Chula Vista: February averages a high of 66°F and August, the warmest month, 81°F, so iced and hot drinks share the menu all year and a core tee and cap can stay on the shelf. December mornings, with lows around 44°F, are cool enough for a light staff hoodie or crewneck over the barista tee at opening. With highs of 70°F or more from April to November, eight months in all, a spring tee release and a late-summer one fit the calendar better than a single drop. Half the year or more brings almost no rain, and the total is only about 10 inches, so outdoor seating and pop-ups run most weeks and a branded cap does more work than any rain gear.

What should baristas in Chula Vista wear behind the bar through the year?
Afternoons never call for more than a dark tee and a cap here, but winter openings start chilly, so give the opening crew a long sleeve or light zip hoodie to take off once the room warms.
