Service was remarkably quick, keeping the line moving seamlessly. We tried the Strawberry Matcha and caught the seasonal Iced salted Caramel Matcha before it leaves the menu- both were delicious and hit the spot.

I'm wondering what happened to their old employees they used to have it on point I've been working in the area for about seven years now . You guys need to train your employees to make the coffee the way the picture looks, and at least make the coffee, right , for a high priced coffee, the coffee should be five star!!! You guys are pretty much. The only coffee shop open super early. I gave you two stars for that.. I may give you guys one more try if that fails. I'm never going back . I highly suggest tasting your coffee before you leave the store. I've done that before and it took three times for them to get it right so annoying. I absolutely hate complaining and rather give you guys five stars and a great review. Please get it right.

Let's get right down to it. We have been checking out coffee shops all over to see who gets top…read morehonor. Sorry to say this Bird Rock Coffee location fell way short. For the food items, I ordered two iced vanilla lattes which were very weak. Lots of milk and felt like not much expresses power. Also was interested in the fired pizza kits order for some lunch. While ordering with the staff member at the front counter there seemed to be some difficulty getting a proper pizza order in. I asked do you have a plain cheese pizza and she said so a margarita pizza. I asked if it had other things on it due to allergies like basil and olive oil. She said yes. So I again asked can it just be made plain with sauce and cheese only. She again repeated, so a margarita pizza. I said you can charge me for a margarita if that's easier but I just want cheese and sauce. It seemed like she wasn't grasping my simple request and told me to tell the pizza maker outside. I did and he was great. Totally understood the diet restriction and said he would make it. Took about 10 minutes and it was pretty good. He was polite and friendly too. Back inside as we waited for our pizza we were checking out the coffee shop and couldn't help to notice the same woman who took my pizza order was handling the register and also helping make some matcha. The problem is while touching all kinds of things at the front counter she then was shaking up matcha in a bottle but covering the opening with her bare thumb, then wiping it on her pants and going back to the next one. Not very sanitary for making beverages. Another display of poor customer service was when I asked if parking free or paid outside and where is the kiosk to pay. The same worker kind of shrugged at me and said I think it's paid, but looked like she couldn't care less. I said even for customers eating here it's paid? She said yeah. Well after reading thru some other Yelp reviews they mentioned the four 20 minute parking spots out front. Sheesh. Like could you be less helpful with a new customer. Poor customer service, didn't know the shop procedures too well or just didn't really care. 2 stars for the pizza and pizza guy being cool. Plenty of other coffee places around tho.

This full-service brunch restaurant and award-winning in-house bakeshop is centrally located in the Village of La Jolla neighborhood. Known to be lively and busy on weekend mornings with a walk-in-only policy (no reservations accepted), though weekdays are typically more relaxed. My daughter and I went on a Friday morning and it did not seem overly busy or crowded. We shared the Blazin' Chilaquiles Skillet with Birria (absolutely delicious 10/10). We also got the Strawberry Shortcake Biscuit 9/10. Super rich and flavorful, topped with fresh strawberries (the jam was a bit much for me, but overall very tasteful). Our drink orders included the Cinnamon Roll Latte 10/10 and a Matcha Latte 8/10. From start to finish service was great. Chris was a stand up guy who made sure we had everything we needed. Very impressed with the quality of food and service. We will definitely be back for more!

It was a really hot day, so we were happy to get an indoor table. The atmosphere was really cute and colorful, with lots of flowers and pink. Definitely a little girly for me, but my girlfriend loved it! There were a couple of small things that were a little off. We didn't really like that the drinking glasses were plastic. Also, we ordered a few lattes, including the pumpkin pecan latte, and one of the drinks that was supposed to be hot came out cold. We let them know, though, and they replaced it without any problem. The food was definitely the best part. They have a really good variety on the menu, and there were so many things that looked good it was hard to decide. I got the lobster Benedict, and my girlfriend got the steak and eggs. Both were really good! The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and everything was cooked and seasoned really well. No complaints at all about the food, it was fantastic. One other thing worth mentioning is the restroom! it was very clean, which is something we really appreciate when dining out. Overall, a great spot for breakfast/brunch with a beautiful atmosphere and, most importantly, excellent food. We'd definitely come back!

That sounds small, but on a rushed morning it's the difference between a good day and a stressful one. She's also the person who talked me into trying the salted maple latte, which is now what I get every time. Mishelle has a way of making the counter feel like a conversation instead of a transaction. She's genuinely warm with everyone in line, not just regulars, and I've watched her handle a packed rush without dropping her patience once. Great food is easy to find in San Diego.

I ordered a few drinks for my friends and me to try since it was our first time here, and we were heading to the beach after. They hand-whisk their matcha for each drink, which I really appreciate because most matcha spots in San Diego pre-make theirs. I got the regular matcha latte. I assumed it would already be sweetened, but it wasn't, which wasn't a big deal for me since I prefer little to no sweetness. It was still really good: perfect consistency, and you can definitely taste the matcha. My cousin got the matcha cream top (similar to a matcha einspänner), and I loved their vanilla bean syrup(?) that was included in the drink. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. My friends also tried the orange latte, and they were pleasantly surprised by the cream on top. The orange flavor was noticeable but still subtle, and the coffee itself was strong. The syrups balanced everything out nicely. Definitely would come back again!
