If you're looking for relaxing coffee shop with an ocean breeze and one of the strongest cold brews I have ever had, look no further! Bird Rock Coffee Roasters is located in the heart of La Jolla and offers a small town feel. Whether you are working, studying, or just enjoying some time with friends, Bird Rock is the place to go!

Disappointed with our first visit to this much-talked about spot. Not sure what the hype is for. The lattes were terrible and overpriced. Really wanted to support the local place versus the mega corporate chain across the street, but the lattes (one with soy and the other with whole milk) tasted poor and while I struggled to finish mine, my spouse tossed his. Almost $15 (counting tip) for two (terrible) lattes and one plain bagel with cream cheese added insult to injury. I really hate to say it, but that certain mega chain has far better lattes...

Good coffee; loved the espresso. The place itself is pretty cool with displayed art and opens up for breeze. Nice and helpful baristas add to the overall feel.

One of my favorites among the many, many coffee shops I have been to! Incredible coffee with a great staff and atmosphere. The selection of different coffees is excellent - I only wish I had time to try them all! It may be a bit pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. If you like good, high-quality coffee, you gotta stop at Bird Rock.

The beans are good, for sure. But they're expensive. I like that the retail options are sold in full lb weight (rather than the 12oz packaging that has taken the micro roaster industry by storm), but some of the costs are out of this world. Aside from that, the prepared coffees at the bar are terrific and worth the wait.

SD Bird Rock Coffee Roasters sets the coffee standards here in San Diego! Love the atmosphere and place. The Bird Rock Community is great! a lot of nice locals shops and plenty of restaurants to try. I personally haven't been to any restaurants but I make the drive to La Jolla just for the Coffee! One of my favorite signature coffee is the Cortado and Mocha! My friends recommends "Trophy Wife" macadamia nut latte! Enjoy!

Excellent roast. Very good customer service... Roasting done on sight.. very very very good job of roasting. No burned brand here! Two thumbs up!

Love their chai. Not too sweet, like most places. And my hipster friends say they have the best single origin coffee beans in San Diego.

Nice blends, some of them award winning and well worth trying, so take some beans home and experiment.
House espresso is a tad high on acidity but otherwise solid.
The choice with the filter brews is between medium and dark roast, where the dark roast is lower in caffeine and less sour, so have that in mind when ordering.
Atmosphere is pretty chill with people minding their own business, making it a good place for a meeting or for work away from the office.
