Bird Rock Coffee Roasters - Torrey Pines Beach

Lovely little coffee shop near Torrey Pines. Came here right after we had finished our early hike at Torrey Pines (got to the coffee shop at 8AM) there's only street parking available but there were plenty of ppl leaving as we were looking for parking so it was relatively easy did I g a parking spot. The menu is small BUT perfect with a mix of iced and hot coffees, they also have a small menu of breakfast sandwiches that looks really tasty!! I had the iced left coast latte (a sea salt caramel latte) with oatmilk and it was FANTASTIC! They have a lovely front patio with limited seating but again people were leaving as we got there so grabbing a seat was relatively easy! Service is fast! Overall a great place with a great view, highly recommend and will definitely be back!!

Great location for a coffee meetup with friends! The views are unbeatable, there are ample tables and places to sit outside. I visited early Sunday morning, there was a long line but service was quick and the food was prompt! Avocado toast was delicious. You might be hard pressed to find parking upfront, but there is plenty of parking along side streets.

Bird Rock is a top tier coffee house. Smooth finish with refined taste. I think of coffee like wine, with some mixes not working due to bitterness or tanginess. Bird Rock has the right formula. It is not as sweet forward when you order flavored drinks. The service is friendly to ok. It doesn't seem that culturally they push for a welcoming tone. If a coffee lover, definitely visit.

Great coffee company in San Diego before going to Torrey Pines hikeService no complaints - friendly staffSmall place with a few tables inside and seating outside overlooking the Torrey Pines.

Nestled across the scenic Torrey Pines Beach and Reserve, the café offered a picturesque escape on a sunny weekday. Despite the crowd, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. The barista was pretty helpful. I indulged in a perfectly flaky chocolate croissant and a latte made with medium-roast beans. The combination was a delightful treat!

Great spot! Excellent house coffee, and a spot on cortado also (though no sparkling water side, the cortado itself held its own and if you order for here they serve it in a proper shot glass--well done). Lovely view across to Torrey Pines and a great local vibe. Expect a line (and a smile when you hit the front) and a wait for your drink (other than house brew) so chill and enjoy the scene.

Great Bird Rock location to grab a coffee before a hike at Torrey Pines. Lines are longer. The drinks are not as great as other Bird Rock locations and it'll take you 20+ minutes to get your drink at peak times. The breakfast croissant was delicious. Flaky croissant. Perfectly cooked egg. Flavorful arugula. The sandpiper was a bit bitter and overly nutty, unless you order the latte half sweetened. Overall 3.5 experience, rounded up for the great location.

I came here around 9:14 am. After seeing that TPSR was pretty empty, I was hoping that BRCR would be as well-- shockingly it was full! There was no more seating available (outside and inside). It seemed as though the people seated would never leave even if they finished their drinks. It felt as though they were glued to their laptops with no intention of moving until they were done with business.I ordered at 9:23 am and service was quick because my order was called out swiftly (after 2 others received their drinks and pastries). I was a bit shocked at how fast my drink made it out if I am honest! Good on BRCR team for staying on top of the flow! I was also quite happy to see and hear that they added a speakerphone for the outside seating area! We could hear them relay people's names to come get their items. This helps lessen the crowd waiting inside, making more room for people in line and people sitting to not feel so enclosed. I got an "iced left coast latte (salted caramel)" with whole milk-- it was automatically 16 oz, so $6.99 . When I drink this, I don't think of salted caramel. Rather than buttery and sweet with a hint of salt and a creamy finish(WestBean Coffee Roaster vibes)...I'd say it has a nutty and dark (bitter, but not in a bad way) and smooth taste to it. It's different!! Not too sweet, if this profile is up your alley then you'd probably enjoy this drink! I noticed that they had elevated outdoor tables where the middle of the table was separated by a succulent planter box and I thought that it would be nice if they added more high chairs there for people to sit on. (Like one side has 3-4 chairs and the other with the same amount). What's cool about these tables is that they have bag hooks attached to them!

Such a great location! The baristas were friendly and the coffee and food came up quickly. My dirty chai was solid, but very heavy on the chai. The avocado bagel sandwich was pretty good and I liked that it was precut.

The location itself is amazing (great patio!), but the coffee leaves a lot to be desired especially in comparison to the coffee you get at other Bird Rock locations. These baristas cannot steam milk to save their lives. Super nice though! They remade my cortado but unfortunately it tasted worse the second time around. Would visit this location again though!
