The issue isn't your staff--they've always been friendly, welcoming, and helpful. My concern is that so many people are using the tables as workspaces while connected to the Wi-Fi that it's become difficult for paying customers to find a place to sit and simply enjoy a conversation over coffee. I hope you'll consider creating some guidelines for Wi-Fi use, such as designating a few tables for people working on laptops and leaving the remaining seating available for customers who want to relax and socialize. There are also outdoor benches and other public seating that could be used by those working for extended periods. Right now, it feels like the balance has shifted away from creating a welcoming coffeehouse atmosphere for your patrons. I truly like your location and appreciate your excellent staff, but until this changes, I'm sorry to say I won't be returning.

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!

I loved their menu and decided to try the pistachio latte with an extra shot of espresso. My fiancee got the blood orange tea. The tea was refreshing and tasted exactly like blood orange! We loved it. I also really loved how strong my pistachio latte was, had a very potent taste and caffeine punch. The prices weren't bad either, especially for being in La Jolla. They also had a wide variety of desserts and gelato. We tried a sample of the coffee gelato and it was soooo good. Next time we are in the treat mood down here we will have to stop. We will be back to try more!

I was helped quickly, and the girl was very friendly. I ordered my Affogato with salted caramel gelato. They were pretty busy so it took a few minutes, but I didn't mind cause it was cooler in there than outside. I love the fact that they have the desserts by Clement products on display and I saw several people ordering them. I received my Affogato and sat outside. It had a lot of flavor and I enjoyed it. It was a bit pricey, but it is La Jolla after all. I'd love to come back another time and check out their wines and other menu items.
