Food: 4/5 Coffee: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Rosemonts Cafe is a really solid neighborhood café and one of my go-to spots in this corner of Bird Rock, especially when I want space to linger. I love that they have tons of seating, a full menu, and parking available. ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 There's lots of seating both indoors and outdoors, and despite packing in a good amount of tables, the space never feels cramped. It's a great option for a coffee date, working while snacking, or just hanging out for a while. The layout makes it easy to settle in without feeling rushed. SERVICE: 4/5 Service is reasonably friendly and polite. My only complaint is that a couple of times I've gone they've seemed short-staffed - not at all the fault of the employees, just something to be aware of if you walk in and don't immediately see or get greeted by anyone. COFFEE: 3.5/5 They have a lot of coffee options on the menu, which is a big plus. So far I've tried the Macadamia Nut Latte (iced, oat milk): 3.5/5 and the Vanilla Latte (iced, oat milk): 4/5. The macadamia nut latte wasn't terribly flavorful, so I probably wouldn't order it again, but if you prefer a latte that isn't sweet, this could actually be perfect for you. The vanilla latte was pretty standard; nothing to write home about, but no real complaints either. I'd happily order it again, especially if I was also grabbing food or planning to sit and work for a bit. FOOD: 4/5 They have a very extensive food menu, which is a big plus. Lots of options across bagels, pastries, toasts, and sandwiches - both savory and sweet. I ordered the Turkey Sandwich, which was tasty and fresh, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the amount of meat. If you're expecting a classic, stacked deli sandwich, you might be disappointed. That said, the flavor and overall quality were still very good. I also love that this spot opens fairly early. If I'm meeting someone for coffee and conversation in this part of Bird Rock, this is usually my first choice.

Cherry chocolate late

Got the cherry chocolate late, so yum!! The temperature was perfect! I hate when they make it so hot you can't drink it for an hour.

Great avocado toast. Big enough to share. Pictured is one order of the avocado toast cut in two for sharing. Coffee is good too.

Cute little staff with great drinks, treats, and fabulous staff. Listened to what I like, answered my dumb questions, and then made me the PERFECT drink. The chocolate croissant was delicious too!

These sandwiches are so delicious. I was a little skeptical because I like my bread a certain way but I was happily surprised. I will definitely replace the cheese with mozzerella next time like my friend did, it was perfection.

Banana Peanut Butter Toast
Jack M.

I like the Rosemonts Cafe. I had a peanut butter and banana toast dressed with honey, crushed peanuts, cinnamon, and cacao chips on sourdough toast for $9. I really liked that they put a good toast on the sourdough. They put a good amount to tasty peanut butter, a lot of sliced bananas, and a handsome of amount of crushed peanuts and cacao chips. The addition of the cinnamon and honey brought this toast together nice. Best of all, they give you two slices! Service was very friendly, and they offer inside and outside seating. I originally came in for some with eggs on it for breakfast. Hopefully they find a way to include breakfast sandwiches in the future. It is a "cafe." Cool spot for coffee and breakfast and lunch.

We walked about 5 minutes from our AirBnB for a sandwich, and we got two of the freshest Sammie creations! The bread was soft and obviously made today. And it was loaded with all of the freshest ingredients. This is a woman owned business and their service was exceptional. The portions were huge. And we were grateful because after a crazy travel day we were starving!

Suite front

This is a new locally owned cafe that has opened in the Windansea neighborhood of La Jolla. The location has no on-site parking so you have to hunt for one of the precious curbside spots on the side streets. The inside of the suite was neatly decorated and had enough seating for about two dozen customers. Pastries, fancy toasts, coffee, sandwiches, and charcuterie boards were the main categories listed on large menu boards hanging on the wall behind the service counter. The lady owner was very pleasant and ran the register during my visit. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich made up of black forest ham, gruyere, romaine, tomato, mayo, and honey mustard on thick slices of sourdough bread. A worker who assembled the item brought it to my table. The sandwich was cut into two halves with each having a good ratio of meat to bread. The hard swiss cheese provided a creamy texture to contrast the ham. I enjoyed a quiet lunch at Rosemonts Cafe and gave the experience a four star rating.

Pastries and coffee
Sally M.

They had me at VG's donuts! My husband and I were looking for something quick to pick up nearby while walking our dog and I noticed that Rosemonts had donuts, so stopped in. They have a small display of donuts, pastries, and muffins that you can select from (they will take it out of the display for you), along with fancy toasts, sandwiches, and of course coffee and non-coffee drinks. I got a couple donuts, a danish, and a chai latte to go. The chai latte was delicious as were the donuts and danish. Service was very friendly and pretty quick. There were a handful of customers dining in and they all seemed to be enjoying their food and drinks. They have a few tables outside as well. I'll definitely be back to try their fancy toasts and sandwiches. They do have a rewards program (through Toast) and you can sign up when you pay with your credit card. I also confirmed that I could call ahead to place an order. Free wi-fi; street parking only.

Are the cinnamon rolls from VG's or house made?

Hi! We actually get our cinnamon rolls and the rest of our pastries fresh daily from The French Gourmet in PB. Unfortunately VG does not deliver so we no longer get our pastries from them. Cinn Rolls are my personal favorite and the ones from FG are…

Each time I've come, we are seated outside. This is probably my favorite place for American brunch…read morethough. I do wish they let us sit inside more often. Each time the inside was closed off. Decor inside is so cute though and the bathroom was decked out. Great place for a little date brunch or girls thing. Service was great. The waiter gave as recommendations for all categories. Food came out very quick! The flower plates and cutlery were very elegant. Lots of options for food from sweet and savory. The best thing is the lobster Benedict. Lobster pieces were big and plenty. The flavor was on point. Lobster roll was also very good. The naughty skillet and chilaquiles are good. Potatoes in the dishes are phenomenal. The steak and eggs were mediocre, steak was overcooked and chewy. Also have tried the pumpkin spice iced latte (good) and pistachio iced latte (okay). I also remember trying a few sweet items, but forget which they were - but remember it was good. I would recommend to try if you haven't. I personally enjoy this brunch place more than the others nearby in La Jolla.

Was able to get seated immediately by the host & was excited to dine here for the first time…read more Our server greeted us and asked for our drink orders as soon as we sat, let her know we hadn't looked at the menu yet and if she could return in a couple of mins. She never returned. The floor manager Barbara hovered over our table a few times, and didn't notice once we were waiting. After she hovered our table again with a server and game planned for the floor, I then grabbed her attention before she could walk off and asked if she was a manager and let her know how poor the service was already. She gave an explanation on how she was game planning for her servers and didn't notice lol, then she called over a girl Christina from the little candy shop and she scurried over. She did not know anything about the menu, I asked her where the sides were on the menu and she did not know. Nor was she able to find any menu items on her toast. Waited for 15 mins without help, then after 2 mins of poor service we decided to leave. As a manager, she should have taken our order herself to assure everything went smoothly from that point on. 0/0 service Ambiance also isn't all that, 3/5 cute for kids tho!

Absolute hidden gem in La Jolla! The location and the restaurant itself are so charming, though…read moreseating is a little tight, so definitely get there with time to spare. We stopped by The Whale and were blown away by the quality of everything we ordered: Drinks: The cortado was smooth and tasty, and the banana cold brew had an incredible amount of rich flavor.  Big Wave Burrito: This was easily a top-3 breakfast burrito for me ever--completely packed with flavor and cooked to perfection.  Lox Toast: Featuring amazingly fresh salmon and top-tier toppings, it was light, fresh, and delicious.  The vibe is fantastic and the food/drinks are top quality. Can't wait to come back next time we're in the area!

YOU (we) HAVE BEEN... i n f l u e n c e d…read more We waited ~25 minutes in a toasty direct sunlit line to get to the counter to order. This place was busy, constant motion. The inside was cramped, I felt bad for people sitting to dine with the line snaking through the tables and bumping shoulders. Watching food coming out, visually I wasn't impressed. Once we got to the counter we just ended up ordering a couple of drinks and pastries to go. We then squeezed our way between diners to a little corner where 6-7 (aye) other people were also waiting for drinks. And the drinks were... not great. The seasonal maple latte was watery and overly milky. The vanilla matcha with salted coconut top? No taste of coconut, also overly milky. The pastries were fine, the maple cronut was the only thing we enjoyed out of our whole order. In conclusion: viral, not vital.
