I came here on a Sunday with my mom and brother. If you don't know about this coffee shop you might…read morejust walk past it! I went on the weekend that they had Harbor The People (Live DJ Set) playing. They played some really good mixes and had people dancing! This is an all outdoor coffee spot with lots of tables. I think they have a great amount, but in the future they could optimize their space with different tables or layout! There was a lot of empty space. There's a beautiful mural that captured my eyes though. Their walk up counter was pretty high so short ppl-- aka 5ft2 and under will have hard time seeing the screen for tapping your card. The woman working the front had great vibes and was super sweet. At the time we went, it was only her taking orders & making drinks. The line behind us began to grow, luckily I think 2 workers showed up a little while after. She asks for our name so they call it out when it's ready, although that can be muffled when the dj set is playing. I got one of their specialty drinks, a combination I really love: ~$5-6, Iced Milano Latte (Espresso, Honey, Lavender, Milk). I think they have a specific cup size choice for iced drinks, I usually go with 12 oz but I may have gotten a 16 oz this day. The lavender flavor came through, but it was subtle. I think next time I'd love to try their Roma Latte (Caramel) or a seasonal (which wasn't on their official menu, but written on a board placed on the ground). My brother ordered the Iced Pistachio Latte with Oat Milk. I think that the oat milk and pistachio were fighting for dominance and the oat milk won. It was still an ok latte, maybe it would be better with whole milk-- as the oat milk (in my opinion) was the more prominent flavor. I'm not sure if they use a syrup or not...but I think if they were to use a pistachio butter with the espresso, it would make the drink creamy and even more delicious. We would most definitely be coming back to Caffé di Talya in Pacific Beach. A lovely morning spot with plenty of seating, great music, and tasty drinks. Not only that but they have pastries and later on they have lunch items too.

They also have a ton of creative drink options, a bathroom in the back, and a really nice vibe overall. Just a heads up, the AC was blasting when I went, so I had to grab my jacket from the car Parking can be a little tricky since it's PB, but overall such a good find. Definitely coming back!

This seemed like a PB…read morestaple so I figured checking this out, especially with the sign of "Home of America's Best Mocha." Here has my experience: AMBIANCE Parking: Welcome to Pacific Beach! Street parking is available, but depending on the day and time, finding a spot can be an adventure of its own. Give yourself some extra time, especially on the weekends. Do public transportation if you can. Seating: Limited seating both indoor and outdoor. Room for maybe 20 people. Vibes: Welcome to PB. What's cool is that you're a few steps away from Crystal Pier and the beach, then you got your PB things from local beach goers to some fun random events. The spot itself is nothing too flashy. It has your nice pop music playing with some photos of their drinks and their accolades. Good for a grab and go but if you need a break from the heat, this is a chill (no pun intended). FOOD/DRINKS Funky Monkey Mocha (Recommend) This was good. What's not to love - banana, peanut butter, and chocolate. Fich mocha with a nice fruity sweetness of banana and that nutty taste from the peanuts. A fun and desert like drink that gives you a good caffeine kick. CUSTOMER SERVICE Great! Down-to-earth and welcoming. The menu was overwhelming but I had helpful service. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good coffee, reasonable prices, and a fun selection that gives this little PB coffee shop its identity. Nothing flashy just simple drinks with growing flavors to reflect the diversity of people that come and visit. Their maybe many coffee shops in this are but it had a good charm. Much love to the Kozoglu family and the Pacific Bean team for holding it down! TIPS: - Definitely explore the signature mocha menu--there are A LOT of choices.

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.

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.
