    Deb's Avocado Toast
    Priscilla K.

    Cute spot for an afternoon pick me up! My hubby wanted to try paru matcha so we came here and the matcha latte was quite good! I also had their avocado toast and it was soo light, healthy, and delicious! Flavor profile was very balanced and perfect for an afternoon snack. Service was great too - we asked someone if they could clear our table and it was done for us within a few seconds! Would stop by again the next time we're in SD!

    I ordered online for pickup and waited around 20 minutes, which honestly just seems faster to order in person rather than online. I got the cookie butter latte and it looked way better than it tasted. The cookie butter crumbles on top definitely helped, but overall the drink felt kind of bland and way too milky. I was expecting a stronger coffee flavor and a little more sweetness from the cookie butter. Not bad, just didn't really live up to the hype for me. As far as the Chunky Monkey smoothie it was delicious!

    Service was kind and quick. Iced honey vanilla latte is a star. Love their straws!! Would love to return and try their other plentiful options!

    Java Earth is one of my favorite coffee shops in SD!! Both locations are near the beach so what's not to love?! We ordered the new cookie butter latte, banana matchas (1 hot, 1 iced,) and the veggie bagel. You never know if cafes will have good quality food, but I've never ordered anything I don't like! This bagel was delicious, and I've also tried the breakfast burrito which is amazing. Service was great and so speedy!

    I wanted to go to Paru for a matcha latte, however when I got there a worker informed me that they just closed the cafe portion of the store permanently. However, she mentioned that this cafe served Paru matcha which is why I wanted to try it here. That was a big mistake though since the matcha here was very disappointing. I ordered the banana cream top matcha with oat milk and it was bad. The drink was so milky and tasted like matcha flavored oat milk. The cream top was a thin layer and it tasted so artificial. This was not worth the $8 spent on this drink. Would not recommend.

    really enjoyed this spot! at 8:30 it was pretty steady but we found a place to wait in their ample outdoor seating. the area is super cute and their interior is decorated nicely. i like that they offer some chips and other miscellaneous drinks alongside their sizeable menu. i got their matcha latte w oatmilk after i saw that they offered paru matcha and was pleasantly surprised! it had perfect ratios and was not milky at all. the matcha taste was very good. as someone who loves sweets i could have gotten a bittttttt more sweetener, but it was probably a good standard sweetness for most. my boyfriend's honey vanilla latte was also very good, a bit too sweet but tasted great! we also got a hot black coffee which was good, but my friend's biscoff latte was lacking in biscoff flavor by a lot. it was also less sweet than my bfs honey one, which we were not expecting. otherwise, all the food we got was great! i ended up eating my breakfast burrito at the beach 20 mins after we ordered, but it was still sooooo good. super balanced and for $12 it was a great size for me and my bf to split. would love to come back here!

    I consider my self a matcha purist and don't usually like sweetened/flavored matcha drinks. But, I was pleasantly surprised by how well the pumpkin cream top goes with a matcha latte. The drink was executed perfectly and the matcha part itself wasn't pre sweetened so mixing in the pumpkin cream didn't make it cloyingly sweet. Shout out to the friendly staff who accommodated my custom requests! We had a perfect start to our day thanks to Java Earth!

    Food/Coffee: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Solid cafe. What I liked about this cafe was that it's in downtown la jolla but in a slightly off side of the super busy brunch spots that there was a good amount of parking and a relaxing vibe to the place. Coffee and matcha are solid. Will be coming back.

    The matcha latte is so good that you need to try it out at this place. The place is at a walking distance to La Jolla beach.

    I've only been to try the cookie butter latte and it was okay. i do like that you get the taste of the coffee more than the sweetness.

    Mediterranean Bowl

    My sister came along with me to San Diego for work from Irvine, and I give her the credit for finding this place. WOW! This place blew me away. Our order: two 20 oz matcha lattes - 10/10 thank you so much for putting the right amount of ice - not too much!! Our matcha lattes did not feel diluted at all. The additional $0.50 we paid for the extra 4 oz was well worth it. Mediterranean bowl - 10/10, what a delicious combination of ingredients! I want to make this at home as a pick me up. It reminded me of the best parts of pesto pasta but without any pasta! Soy Chorizo burrito - 10/10 we were told that the so Cal burrito is also a popular menu item. The personal preference of our cashier was the soy chorizo burrito and it did not fail!! The two are essentially the same except the type of meat (for the most part, so we're told hahaha) What drew us to this place has been the featuring of Parutea's matcha. The matcha quality truly is amazing. It's delicious. The plating was crisp and clean - everything about the restaurant was seamlessly put together. It was a haven for good food and a way to start the morning peacefully! There's a good number of people trickling in as soon as the restaurant opened. The people here are kind, present, and respectful. I'm so grateful for you all. They offer milk alternatives including pistachio milk! The food is cooked to just the right temperature where the flavors stand out because of the temperature at which the food is presented. Next time - I can't wait to try the pastries God bless you all!

    The new sandwich was SO good i picked sourdough between sourdough and bagel and it was really good! the flavor of the bread itself!!!! My boyfriend got a latte and i got the happy matcha he said it was a decent latte and i thought the happy matcha was just okay. I couldn't really taste the matcha flavor. plenty of parking when we went near opening

    Small & cute coffee shop. Food and drinks. Perfect to grab and go or sit inside/outside and enjoy there. Kind and quickly moving baristas. Visited here from NorCal and I would definitely recommend

    Are there outlets & wifi available to customers?

    I believe there is wifi but it is really small inside. I don't know if there are outlets. It's more a place to grab your stiff and sit outside on the shared patio with more tables.

The croissants stood out to me, like just look at how beautiful they look. My only concern was that the filling would be too sweet for me, but it wasn't! They used the perfect amount of filling. I tried the pistachio one and the nutella one. I liked the pistachio one because I loved how nutty pistachio paste is. I think it works perfectly in a sweet treat because it isn't overly sweet. But the nutella one was still yummy. The croissant itself was buttery and flakey, so yum! I came back because I really wanted to try their sammies. I ended up getting the panino coppa and subbed the burrata for fresh mozzarella. I loved the spicy kick their house-made spread added. Everything together was delicious. I got the freshly squeezed orange juice too, and it tasted really fresh. It was a little sour though.

They have a huge selection of pastries and food options, plus plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot to hang out or get some work done! I tried the lavender latte, which was a little too milky for my taste and I couldn't taste much of the coffee. My friend got the vanilla latte and enjoyed it more, and her toast was really yummy. They also have a bathroom in the back, which is always a nice bonus. Parking can be a little tricky since it's La Jolla, but honestly much easier than the main beach area. Overall, a really cute spot with a relaxing atmosphere. I'd definitely come back to enjoy the space and try more of their menu!

Service was great, everyone was nice and attentive. Got an iced Matcha Latte with oat milk and lavender to sweeten. Powdered. I give it an 8, I've had much worse matcha's, but also a bit better. Next time I come I want to try the coffee, because it looks to be their forte. Love the Colombian trip wall con una mascota preciosa. Also got a gluten free muffin, looked rough on the outside, but absolutely delish once unwrapped. Flavor was blueberry, and it was filled with them. The muffin was moist and not grainy like some gluten free ones can be. Not overly sweet, but still with plenty of berry deliciousness. All in all a wonderful stop with enough character to cameo in a 90's rom com.

Chef Maeve Rochford, the owner of Sugar & Scribe won Season 2 of Food Network's Holiday Baking Championship. She is also known for competing on Food Network's Beat Bobby Flay and Kids Baking Championship. We recommend trying the following: *Butter Poached Lobster Benedict with Poached eggs, Maine Lobster, Arugula, Parsley hollandaise with side of potatoes and bacon. *Blueberry Love Pancakes with blueberry compote, snow sugar and white chocolate mousse. Both orders were excellent 5/5 stars. I tried the Horchata Latte but couldn't really taste the horchata and wasn't sweet enough for me. I wouldn't order this latte again, but maybe y'all would enjoy the flavor better. The restaurant has outdoor seating with heating lamps and welcomes well behaved dogs in their outdoor patio. We had excellent customer service and look forward to coming back! Give this place a try! Happy Yelping :)

It was light, fluffy, and topped with fresh blueberries, blueberry compote, white chocolate mousse, and a touch of edible glitter. The only reason for four stars is the higher prices and the wait during busy brunch hours. Overall, it's a great spot for a special brunch.

    Food: 4/5 Coffee: 3.5/5…read moreService: 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.
