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…

After my appointment at the Veteran Affairs we passed by here at Mendocino Farm La Jolla…read more Our first time here so we just picked which one looks good and sounds good on the menu board. We picked PERUVIAN STEAK SANDWICH, a seared steak tossed in Spicy aji amarillo sauce, then their CHIMICHURRI STEAK BACON; it's a seared steak and applewood-smoked bacon, and also got their SMOKEY BBQ BRIOCHE SANDWICH , this one is a smoke Pork burnt ends with BBQ sauce. Every sandwich we had tasted good, but i like the most the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon, it's more to my palate, not too sweet or not too spicy. Service was quick our sandwiches were done quickly, plenty of staff go around checking the tables and greeting the customers. Parking is easy, with lots of spaces.

I like the Mendocino Farms concept and we had a good experience at the first one we visited (it was…read morenot this one) so I was disappointed with our long wait for three to-go sandwiches and a cup of soup. I think I was sitting in the store for at least 30 minutes while a family member waited in our car and watched several people park, get their orders and leave. Two people who ordered after us received their food before we did. I finally stood up and only then did an associate crabbily pack up our order and give it to us. When we first arrived, no one even showed up at the counter for at least five minutes. There was another customer waiting behind us as well. My sandwich (Happy Hippie) was not very good...insubstantial and put together in a blah manner. A family member who had the "not so fried chicken sandwich" said it was too salty. I paid $62 for this order (with a tip, which I had added before the long wait...) It obviously wasn't a good value, This is a beautiful and clean store but a general lack of enthusiasm from the associates, inconsistent customer service, high prices, and mediocre quality food will dissuade me from making any future visits to this location.

I love the La Jolla location of Ike's.  There is a ton of free parking in the underground structure…read moreso my car stays cool while I eat.  I ordered the Hollywould's SF Cheesesteak without cheese and I added bacon.  I liked the texture of the crunch bread which was mostly soft except for the top which was crumbly like a concha.  Bread had a nice mild flavor with a hint of sweetness.  Lettuce and tomato added some moisture and fresh flavors.  Bacon was dry and crunchy with a salty smoky flavor.  Steak was tender and I liked the beefy flavor.  This was a big sandwich and made for a good size lunch. Bubble Up which I drank alot when I was a kid but rarely see now was a pleasant surprise.  I loved the sweet lemon lime flavor.  They have a very good drink selection here. Zapps potato chips were crunchy and had a nice fried potato flavor.  A bit like Utz potato chips. 2nd visit I tried the Matt Cain sandwich.  I modified it so it had turkey, roast beef, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on the Dutch Crunch Bread.  Bread had a fresh aroma and flavor.  One of my fav breads.  Lettuce and tomato were fresh and crisp.  Bacon had a bit of crunch and a delicious salty and smoky flavor.  Roast beef and turkey were tender and tasty.  Great tasting sandwich. Zapps bbq potato chips were crunchy and I loved the tangy and smoky flavor. Staff was nice and got my order out quick.  Ike's makes great tasting sandwiches and has an awesome drink selection.  I noticed that you can purchase extra meat.  I'll give that a try next time.

I feel like whenever I order ahead from ikes at other locations, there's always something missing…read more Not here! My sandwich was made perfectly and was ready at the time I set for pickup after ordering ahead on the app. I got the Terrell Davis which comes with turkey, avocado, bacon and Swiss. Asked for light dirty sauce. All the flavors worked really well together and it didn't eat too salty. Loved that they had a good amount of avocado in it too. It's located right at the entrance of the strip mall as you're driving in. Decent amount of parking but it was very busy when I came on a Tues during lunch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, more indoor though.
