Bird Rock Coffee Roasters - La Jolla

This coffee shop was super cute and had wonderful coffee!! The customer service was excellent and there was plenty of space to find seating.The coffee shop also had other drinks besides coffee, and delicious pastries!! I would definitely visit again in my next trip to La Jolla!

Bird Rock Coffee Roastera is a "must visit" for coffee lovers. Their microroasted coffees are excellent. Not the harsh bitter roasts of popular national chains. I partcularly enjoy the espresso and Americano. The shop itself is very inviting. I like seeing works of local artists decorating the interior. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. Service is friendly and helpful.

VIBES: 4/5COFFEE: 5/5SERVICE: 4/5VALUE: 4/5I love this spot! It's great coffee, and I don't say that lightly. I got the single origin drip my first visit and it was very unique and flavorful. I had a cappuccino another visit and it was perfect. The milk was very tasty - I need to find out what kind of milk they use. It's a great spot to post up and work. They offer free WiFi and there are a good amount of tables, plus a couple of outlets. I love the large open windows.

Parking may be tough to find especially if it's a busy day. The inside has some seating, although it can get filled quickly. Thankfully when I came to work remote, the wifi was fast and I had no issues connecting. Got an iced vanilla latte which was pretty solid. Not overly sweet and had a slightly more acidic flavor but it's not overpowering in anyway. Would come back if I'm in the area!

I really enjoyed coming here on a Sunday with my laptop and doing work while feeling the La Jolla beach breeze. A variety of customers coming this branch. Their chocolate mocha is outstanding and right on point. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a REAL mocha.

Iconic San Diego spot. You really can't beat stopping by Bird Rock on the weekend before going to the beach.I got an oat milk latte, was pretty decent. The line also wasn't too long (I've waited before between 5 and 20 minutes I would say).I love that it feels very locals-focused. I also like that they have posters near the pickup window. Will definitely be back to post my own flyer.One small thing though - is there any way to get more privacy in the bathroom? I know it's great to get air circulation in there, but someone could definitely peek in from the parking lot.I always recommend Bird Rock to tourists in the area, as I feel like it is a good representation of San Diego with the dogs, bicyclists, and surfers that visit.

During my visit to San Diego, I went around visiting multiple coffee shops every day. This is probably my favorite out of all the ones that I've tried due to a particular drink they serve. I came in one morning around 9am. Street parking was easy. While the whole neighborhood looked like it was still getting up (streets had the occasional walkers, but mainly appeared empty), this coffee shop was the exact opposite - bustling with people ready to get their day started and the baristas were busy churning out the orders from the morning rush of patrons.As I scanned their menu, the SANDPIPER caught my attention due to the fact that it was made from "house made roasted hazelnuts". I ordered an large iced Sandpiper and from the first sip... I was loved it! You tasted the hazelnut, but it didn't taste like it was some artificial hazelnut flavored syrup. It appeared like it was more deeply rooted than that. It had the perfect sweetness. Probably my one of my favorite coffee drinks by far! I was so tempted to buy a bottle of their Sandpiper syrup to fly back home with. It was that good! Highly recommend!

Love supporting this small business! Coffee is great. Their vanilla latte isn't my favorite but the service is good and the space would be great to study in.

One of the best roasters in the country, never disappoints. I ran out of coffee on our trip (which was Bird Rock's fabulous Tres Dragones), so I went to the source for more. I got a bag of Ecuador Peña Herrera which they ground for me, and a free cup of coffee for my purchase. The bag is outstanding: super fragrant with fruit notes. The coffee itself is terrific, slightly tart to start with a sweet lingering finish. Another awesome offering from Bird Rock, and a great experience going in the store.

Love the open indoor/outdoor feels! The shop can get really busy at times. I think I had to wait 10-15 mins in line. Vanilla bean latte - not too sweet and they add a nice little design on the foam. The worker recommended this drink over the caramel one and I'm glad I went with it. Espresso tonic - need to have an acquired taste for this one cause the tonic makes it a little off. I honestly thought it had a hint of throw up after a night of partying lol but that's just me. Sandpiper - also a great option. I think it's one of their more popular drinks. Iced Honey B - a honey cinnamon latte where you can definitely taste the cinnamon. But it was a little watered down. Had to add some syrup to make it sweeter. Overall, solid coffee shop in La Jolla and they allow dogs. Prices are a little high but I mean you are in La Jolla.
