I wish the burrito was slightly larger, but it does reflect in the price since it's very reasonable. Lots of street parking, but it's packed because of the apartments.

Quick stop before heading back to OC!…read more If you're looking for delicious and simple coffee. This is where it's at. Beans were being roasted in house and damn can you tell a difference. We ordered an espresso and cortado w/ whole milk. (& yes, they do have alternative non-dairy options). Service was dope. Didn't get his name but helped us out right away. Asked us what kind of flavor notes we liked to help us choose what beans we wanted and didn't let us down. Vibes were cool. As you can see in the pics, artsy and industrial. And maybe if you get lucky like we did, the pup painted on the wall will be there too!

Acento has quickly become one of my go-to coffee spots!…read more They're actually coffee roasters rather than a traditional coffee shop, and you can really taste the difference in the quality. They source coffee from all over the world, and I love that you can choose your espresso for your latte. They don't have a million super-sweet, sugary flavors, which I actually really appreciate. The focus is clearly on good coffee, and you can taste it. Their drinks are more balanced and not overly sweet, which is exactly my preference. My go-tos are the honey cinnamon latte and cafe de olla, and they hit the spot EVERY time. I've been coming almost every week now, so yes, I'm guilty The owner is also so friendly and attentive, remembers my order, and has the cutest dog! Such an amazing find, and I love that I'm becoming a regular here. Definitely one of my favorites!

A roaster with a cafe storefront housing plenty of seating and complimentary WiFi for those looking…read morefor a stop to caffeinate, be productive, or socialize. Bird Rock Coffee, a San Diego native named for the little town in La Jolla known for its rock formations along the coast inhabiting various seabirds, has expanded quite a bit all across the county and this location is just as unique as the others I've visited. Attached to the cafe, you'll get a glimpse into their roasting operations. What started as a micro-roaster, this chain has garnered a following near and far for their single origins, blends, and specialty drinks. As you arrive to this location, you'll find that there's limited parking relative to the size of this building. As you step foot into the shop, you'll understand why - most of their footprint is occupied by their roasting equipment but the dining space is still relatively large compared to more niche coffee shops. Situated with small tables as well as bench tops, during my weekend excursion, there was never a time that it was completely packed so you're bound to find a spot to camp. Outlets are also available from certain spots. Ordering is simple which can be done at the register or online. The menu is quite extensive with all things coffee but consider checking their online menus as I found items like their double cappuccino that wasn't advertised on their physical menus. If you do order through their mobile app, you'll automatically get reward points toward free drinks or food. Speaking of special offers, they also offer birthday goodies so when it's that time of the year, you're in for a treat! I did end up getting the double cappuccino and it was delicious and came out hot with just enough foam to add volume to each sip. If I weren't traveling with so much stuff, I would have considered getting their bags of beans to brew at home. Fortunately, they do offer a subscription and delivery through their website so for those like me looking for a taste from afar, you're in luck! From dark to light roasts, you'll have quite a few options with the notes you desire. The staff were friendly and helpful despite constantly at full capacity. Drinks kept churning out with the same consistent quality and hospitality. Overall, Bird Rock is a local roaster you'll want to check out as their growing operations is a clear result of their consistent product quality, accessibility through its many locations and ordering methods, and excellent service. This location in particular is just blocks away from the huge playground and park next to mission bay, albeit you're better off driving. I was much too full to grab food this around but it may be worth a try to go with the coffee next time. Whether you're a local or just visiting, consider making a trip out and roost on this rock for a while!

The shop has a super laid-back vibe. You order at the window & there are a couple of tables on the sidewalk if you want to hang out for a bit, but it's definitely more of a grab-and-go coffee spot. Service is friendly & don't let the line scare you away, it moves fast. If you're in Mission Beach & looking for a great coffee come here!

Don't blink or you'll miss this teeny, adorable coffee cart…read more My fiancé and I were craving a cup of coffee after a leisurely stroll along Mission Beach on a random Saturday morning....where to go that isn't Starbucks? Lazy Eye to the rescue! Lazy Eye is sandwiched between two buildings with one table out front. It's a to-go place. When you're that close to the beach, who wants to be inside anyway? While they do offer regular brewed coffee, I'm pretty certain their specialty is all the delicious frou-frou coffee drinks. I usually don't go for them, but today, I was in the mood for it. Their milk chocolate mocha with light ice was delicious It made me very happy and our pup was super happy with the treat they gave him. They have a small bakery display which I passed on since we were getting brunch soon, but I'm sure there's something for everyone there. This location is open 7 days a week- 6:30am-1pm. Limited street parking as expected...it's Mission Beach. 5 stars! Check them out!

Nice mix of dark chocolate and coconut - Yerba Mate: Way too sweet for my liking, but the concept is there, maybe ask for half the syrup? - Iced Americano: Solid!

It's a nice little vibe inside with friendly staff, so I recommend for sure :)

In the early afternoon, this place had a line, which is a good sign. The line moved quickly but also gave me time to study their menu to see what I wanted. They specialize in Hawaiian style drinks, so I settled on a Hawaiian matcha. The guy taking me order was super sweet and friendly. I was wearing my favorite Monterey Bay Aquarium sweatshirt and he commented on how that aquarium is one of his favorites! Me too! He asked me what was my favorite thing about the aquarium and I told him the sea otters. I asked what his favorite was and he said the jellyfish exhibition and omg that was soo good! I remember being at that exhibit for awhile as the jellyfish light up and there are so many kinds and so cool to see how they move! In any case, it was so nice to talk about an aquarium we both love!! The Hawaiian matcha was great! I love that they used their Hawaiian syrup in my drink. The drink was pricey, so with oat milk substitution, and a tip, it came to $10. But, think of it this way, you are also using their beautiful facilities and you can lounge here and do work, read, spend some time here. The place is massive, with tons of seating inside (its all open space, so a nice ocean breeze keeps coming thru), and lots of seats outside too! I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I will definitely be coming back here and next time, gonna bring some work and books to read and post up here!!

There is ONE bathroom, and the lock is broken. So apparently after spending $22 on a drink, I'm supposed to sit on the toilet and pray nobody walks in on me. That is a special kind of anxiety no customer should have to experience. A functioning bathroom lock is not some luxury upgrade. It's basic privacy and basic maintenance. A business charging premium prices should be ashamed to leave something this simple unfixed.
