Iced latte with spiced cookie syrup
Trinity C.

I love Surf Lounge! They serve delicious coffee with homemade syrups and lots of milk options! My favorite is their iced latte with the spiced cookie syrup. It seriously is the best latte I have ever had- and I'm a barista so that's saying a lot!!! The service is always so amazing and I love the way the shop is set up! You order your drinks out front, can shop inside, and then take your drink out back to their adorable patio!

I got their iced matcha latte. Such a vibe! I also love how active they are on instagram

Nice spot with nice seating, but sad to report that the coffee was just okay, nothing special. I think the surf shop was pretty cool, and they have a nice seating area in the back of the store. We were eating nearby and happened to stumble across this place by accident, but probably wouldn't come back again.

Barista bar
Christian B.

Went here for a study session on a beautiful day and it was so neat! Cool surf shop inside with vintage/retro decor, surf boards everywhere and retro surf pictures. The barista is at a coffee bar OUTSIDE the shop and it was so cool. Never seen this before. Everyone was so nice! I got a coconut vanilla matcha latte, not enough coconut flavor and could have use a bite more matcha. Sweetness was there i think id ask for less next time. Ill be back to study more!

Front area

Super cute spot with great menu and employees are so welcoming! We went with the going coconuts and the banana hammock. Will be back to try other specialty lattes Had to come back to edit 5 minutes after posting... we have had a lot of good coffees around the world and these were by far the best. Extremely impressed

Coconut water cold brew
Crystal C.

I visited this location late morning during the weekend. There was a short line that went quickly. The cashier was energetic and nice - we love a coffee spot with welcoming baristas! He recommended their (new at the time) coconut water cold brew. I was skeptical but tried it anyways, and it ended up being surprisingly good! The coconut water diluted the cold brew out in a good way so it was more of a fun gentle refreshing drink than hit of caffeine. I haven't seen this drink elsewhere in san diego yet, and would definitely visit again to try something new or get the same cold brew!

Iced Pistachio Latte with Oat Milk
Meri A.

Cute little coffee spot that's been around for about 4 years. It was my first time dropping by this morning after placing an online order for a seasonal latte. The barista/cashier was friendly and my iced coffee drink was really good! I enjoyed my espresso and the seasonal option of Pistachio flavor was delicious. I'll definitely return again soon.

Lindsey M.

Great coffee and lovely staff! The banana bread latte was amazing and would definitely come back.

Everything here is amazing - the coffee, staff, food, merch, etc. Can't go wrong with anything you order and you're always met with a smile and great energy. Love this place!

Banana bread latte
Katrina B.

Surf lodge has the best coffee in town, they always have fun seasonal home made syrups, try the banana bread latte for a fun twist! Jessie is always friendly & helpful (even thought I'm very indecisive)

Matcha latte
Jackie Z.

Great walk up coffee and tea, the matcha was bitter (like I like it), but a bit grainy. Their espresso machine was down when I visited, but looking forward to trying their butter coffees (with ghee and mct oil) next time!

Lisa L.

Parked nearby and was able to order through the front and it was easy and convenient! Front staff was very nice and I ordered the lavender matcha ceremonial grade drink and my boyfriend ordered the coconut vanilla latte. The drinks were affordable and the menu had plenty of options. I thought the lavender matcha was good and not too sweet. The shop itself was nice, had plenty of seating as well. There was a deck in the back where you can relax and eat as well. Very nice and would definitely come back!

Such a cute little shop with so many options to chose from. They have butter coffee which is a first. They were so friendly, highly recommend trying it out!!

Truly a hidden gem, their butter coffee takes me back to when I was in Hawaii, leaving me feeling refreshed and renewed.

Stopped by this surf shop while browsing for some casual gear and ended up walking out with a Ronan…read morePolo I didn't know I needed. It was on sale, which was already a nice surprise, but the real reason I pulled the trigger was Jack W. He was easygoing, knowledgeable, and had that low-pressure style that makes shopping actually enjoyable. He pointed out the fit and fabric details I would've missed and made sure I got the right size. The store itself has a great beach vibe organized layout, solid mix of surfwear and casual pieces, and prices that don't feel inflated like some coastal shops. I'll definitely be back next time I'm looking for something comfortable and coastal-cool. Thanks again to Jack for the spot-on recommendation. @neeks93 on insta

I really enjoy the overall atmosphere and aesthetic of this shop--it's clearly designed with…read moreintention, and the interior setup is super visually appealing. It's easy to see why it's become such a popular spot, especially for people in their 20s looking for that perfect, modern coastal vibe. The merchandise is great too--stylish, on-trend, and fits perfectly with the brand they're going for. It's definitely a place you want to take your time browsing. That said, the space is pretty small, and at times it can feel like the staff is watching you while you shop. I completely understand that it comes with the size of the store, but it can make the experience feel a little less relaxed. I do wish there were some outdoor seating or a bit more space to hang out, because the aesthetic really lends itself to that kind of environment. Overall, it's a really cool shop with a strong identity and great products--just a few small tweaks could make the experience even better.

Now, Sun Diego Boardshop resides there and today I walked in for the first time and my mind is blown. This place is a massive clothing store! The staff was grooving to CSNY and Steely Dan. The beach vibe is at high tide. Service is outstanding, with Lance, Charlie, and their cool boss Ella. I bought a pair of black dungaree shorts and they are as nice an' comfy as Levi's, for about $45. They also sell surfboards and ukuleles too. I wish I'd known about Sun Diego Boardshop before Christmas. I would've done all my shopping there. Peace mc in pb

He did half day surf camp for three days. 9-12. I took the days off work to be with him and watch. They provide wetsuits, so helpful. The Surf teachers were all so attentive and I felt safe having him there. It was 4 teachers for 11 kids. I loved hearing the teachers surf lingo. And just hanging out for the mornings with the kids and surf friends. Teachers did a morning stretch and then got them out on the water. My son was catching waves right away. Mid-day they had snack break and made sure to reapply sunscreen. Last day they had a pizza party at the surf shack for all the girls and boys. Highly recommend this neat San Diego Gem! @PB Surf Shop Thank you!

Felt like family! Awesome surf experience!…read more Everyone was so welcoming and seemed genuinely excited to share the day with us. The instructors were fantastic! All 3 of my kiddos were smiling, and laughing, even though they were getting wiped out by some of the waves lol! Watching your kids light up with excitement makes everything right in the world... This experience definitely gave them a love for surfing and a lifetime memory. Highly recommend PB Surf!! to the moment we surf lessons to
