Not only does this place make great coffee, they offer some great baked goods and pastries. I had a very well made cortado properly served on a glass gibraltar and a large sourdough almond biscotti. Like I said, the cortado was great. It was rich in coffee flavor and smooth to drink. The almond biscotti was crunchy and quite tasty. I just had to dip it into my cortado a few times. They offer some seating inside and a few tables outside. They also offer empanadas from Empanada Kitchen based in San Diego and smoothies. The hospitality was very good. They were quite busy yet able to keep the friendly service and efficiency going. read more

Was excited to try because it good reviews and looked cool to visit! Wasn't busy on a Friday; parking is minimal but we had no issue. Service was fair. Your order and go type of deal. We ordered 4 drinks, one plain latte, tiramisu latte, honey matcha, and the salted brown butter latte. Matcha was very light in color, and bland. No real flavor from matcha. I didn't picture the matcha because it came out 15 minutes later than the lattes. Lattes were watery, and also unfortunately lacked espresso flavor. I had the brown butter and would personally say, it wasn't good, but not terrible either, just ok and would not repurchase :/ There is a restroom with code but it was out of service. read more

Solid coffee spot. The vanilla latte was good. The tiramisu latte was unique and had this interesting flavor that didn't love. But it was still yummy! I would love to come back to try one of their many pastries. They looked soooo good. Next time! read more

Ferlini Coffee - Tiramisu latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Ferlini Coffee is the latest to open shop. Located on Pearl St., easy to spot as there's always a line of people a few doors away for tacos or bagels and street parking can be a challenge. First time stepping foot inside this smallish cafe, which made the best of limited space with nicely decorated interior: banquet style seats and marble top cafe tables. Scintillating ball of ornate glass lighting is bellisimo but had sloppy exposed wiring. Walls of vinyl records while cool background music but didn't play anything Italian classics as one would expect from an Italian themed cafe. Additionally, the cool theme is diminished as soon as you see people a few feet away sloppily eating their burger and fries, since there is no wall separating the burger shop from this cafe. The counter had a case of empanadas that looked not so fresh as it was under a heating lamp :( The pastries did not look appealing either. The drink menu looked promising and I ordered their signature drink: Tiramisu latte iced. The only staffer was non conversational but was efficient as he prepared the drink. This iced Tiramisu latte looked better than it tasted. In fact, the truth of the matter is it was a complete disappointment: lacked the strong espresso I expected and had zero tiramisu flavor. All that brown powder on top had zero taste of chocolate and was too much that one could choke on it :(( I told the staff about this horrible drink and he was clueless, possibly didn't even understanding English. He should have offered to make a new drink or add a shot of espresso but no such offer. I was livid, what a waste of time and $$. Despite this nicely decorated cafe, their signature tiramisu latte was so flavorless and weak that will probably make this my first and last time here...Ultimo, Ciao!! read more

For a while, this downtown La Jolla suite was solely occupied by a vendor selling empanadas. You can still purchase such savory pastries, however the business is now Ferlini Coffee. There were very limited parking spaces out front so the best bet was to find a curbside spot on a side street. A few small round tables were placed in front a cushioned bench for seating. Hot and cold drinks (e.g. smoothies), pastries, cookies, and other desserts were on the menu in addition to empanadas that were on display inside a heated case at the service counter. Not all six empanada types were available during my visit. I selected the Beef, Chicken, and Sweet Corn & Basil for my order along with a Strawberry Smoothie. The worker (owner?) was kind enough to include a complimentary Chocolate Chip Walnut cookie. The empanadas were of decent size, and the best of the trio was the Sweet Corn & Basil. Maybe because it had a sweeter filling than the two meaty varieties. The smoothie was typical while the cookie was soft and chewy. I enjoyed my experience at Ferlini Coffee to give it a four star rating. read more

Once I saw their menu included the salted brown butter oat milk latte I had to see if it tasted like the New York trendy one. It was delicious! I would totally come back for this one drink, so sweet and salty! They unfortunately ran out of basically all of their pastries except the banana bread once we got there at 1pm but the bread was good! The empanada had a great filling too. I thunk my only note is the place is small and I feel like the vibes could be more dark, maybe with low lighting or stained glass windows. I wish it was almost tucked away because I am getting lowfi record bar. Also parking is limited since it's in downtown La Jolla. read more

Stopped by for a quick caffeine fix and cashier was friendly. I saw alcohol on the shelves and she mentioned they are not yet serving that, but will be coming soon. I got an Americano and it was $2 for an extra shot... yikes. Has potential to be a good coffee shop but I'll skip it, not for me. They have a small parking lot, wouldn't go out of my way to have coffee here. read more

Very cute coffee shop located in a not so crowded area of La Jolla and sharing walls with a burger place (that kind of removes the cute factor a bit). Coffee drinks are very nicely presented but are equally expensive. I appreciate the flowers on the mini vases and the vinyl decor. I had a great interaction with the owner and gave him some tips on how to be more active on socials so this great coffee shop can have more traction. Parking is difficult and seating is limited. read more

This cute coffee shop is close to the ocean! They have great customer service and really strong coffee. My husband and I tried the expresso, the Turkish coffee, and the Tiramisu latte. The expresso and Turkish coffee had strong, very bold flavors. The tiramisu latte had great flavor and wasn't overly sweet. Really really delicious. I also ordered a strawberry croissant, which was very good. I definitely recommend stopping by for pastries, coffee, and friendly service. They have seating inside and out. Ample street parking nearby. read more

Tried their tiramisu latte and really enjoyed it. It was rich, smooth, and definitely worth trying. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but I'd still come back to explore more of their drinks menu. The coffee shop itself is super cute and cozy with a great atmosphere. Parking can be a little tricky, but there is street parking available nearby. read more

Walked by Ferlini while in the area and stopped in since I had never seen it. First thing I noticed was how cute they have decorated their little space. Beautiful vibe with very nice carpentry work; someone has a good eye for design there. I ordered a matcha from a very nice gentleman, who I believe was the owner and he also gave me a glass of coconut water free of charge too. My friends got a latte and the strawberry banana smoothie which were all very tasty. Then, the owner brought us this pastry, it was such a kind gesture since we had been talking about how cute they were since we arrived. Beautiful place with a good vibe and great owners who care about creating an amazing cafe. Highly recommend you give them a try and check out their amazing pastries too! read more

Everything is great! Ambiance, customer service, coffee! I got the Salted Carmel Late after asking the owner, Sam, what drink he recommends. He was so sweet and asked my preferences, once he learned what I normally drink he customized the drink and it was the best coffee I've had all week!!! I also tried the Espresso Tonic, and would definitely recommend trying it at least once! I loved it, and I'd never heard about it before since I've never seen it on any other menu. read more

i was so excited to try this spot but the coffee was a miss for us. i got a tiramisu latte and it was way too sweet compared to others i've had in the past. it tasted more like chocolate than coffee. we also tried a macchiato and it was fine but we prefer light and medium roasts and they definitely use dark italian roasts, which isn't our speed. the fig pastry was pretty and tasty. the empanada high key stole the show! so yummy!! vibes are cute and there are parking spots which is nice. read more

I am so glad we tried this new coffee shop in La Jolla! Definitely some of the best coffee in the area. The service is amazing and the owner and staff are so kind and friendly. The salted brown butter oat milk latte is well balanced and creamy. They finish all of the drinks in front of you, adding a unique experience. The strawberry puree that they use is so fresh (not artificial at all). While the shop is small and attached to another restaurant, the space is decorated so elegantly that you barely notice. read more

Very nice small cafe connected to the 858 burger restaurant next door. The barista was nice and quick, and poured the syrup and espresso/matcha into the lattes in front of us, very fancy and fun! He also added dried grapefruit garnish which was a nice touch. Lack of chairs and bathroom inside. read more

I'm not sure what was happening, but it took us 45 MINUTES to get a cortado, Americano, and a chai latte. I imagine on a quiet day it might be nice. It was terribly crowded and hard to move as people started to pile up waiting for coffee. Too many coffee spots that are much more efficient. Ferlini, something needs to change to get customers in and out of your quaint establishment. read more

I got a strawberry matcha with vanilla sweetener and it was so good they whisked it right in front of me.

They had empanadas, cookies, different lattes and matcha! read more

Seating space is very limited. The wait is too long took over 30 minutes for a coffee and a matcha order.

I ordered the salted brown butter oat latte and it is SO divine, it's not too sweet and the saltiness adds a really nice flavor!

Ordered the dirty chai and oat milk brown, sugar espresso, and empanadas.
