Such a cute little dessert spot! The line moved so quickly, and there were so many coconut dessert…read moreoptions on the board that it was honestly hard to choose. We ordered the coconut ice cream, mango, and pandan ice cream with sticky rice, fresh mango, and coconut toppings. Everything was so delicious, refreshing, and not overly sweet -- the perfect treat, especially in San Diego. I also loved the little details: they offered free coconut water, had extra coconut meat available, and our to-go order was prepared almost instantly. Even better, they packaged the ice cream sundae so carefully so everything stayed intact for the ride home. Great flavors, generous toppings, quick service, and such a fun coconut-focused menu. Definitely my new favorite dessert spot in San Diego!

We came here on a saturday around 4:45 and found parking easily in the lot next door. The building…read moreis sort of small, but they have tables indoors and shaded seating outdoors. It was filled with people at almost every table inside, but we got lucky that there was no line to order. We got the coconut sundae and the mango sticky rice. The employees were very kind and gave us our orders pretty much right away. Everything was so tasty. The ice cream was smooth and flavorful, all the coconut and mango pieces were ripe and sweet, and the rice was cooked perfectly. Everything tasted fresh and like they really took care with each ingredient. Another plus was that they're both vegan items! I'd definitely recommend trying both of those desserts. I can't wait to be back!

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!

It kind of reminds me of a little food court, but with a more unique and local feel. They have everything from ice cream and sushi to Mexican treats, so there's plenty to choose from. It's the kind of place where you can come back multiple times and try something new each visit. I ordered the Espresso Horchata, and it was so good! Definitely one of my favorite drinks I've had in a while. The coffee was smooth and the horchata flavor was just right. I was able to find parking pretty easily during the week, but I can imagine it gets busy on the weekends. Overall, such a fun spot with a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back and next time I'm trying some of the other vendors too!

I've had their donuts a few times now and they're just soo sweet! Even their blueberry ones that they are apparently famous for (even without the blueberry frosting that they add). Their maple donut is sweet but also doesn't taste anything like maple. I did like their blueberry donut though. It had a lot of blueberries in it, which made me happy. I love supporting a family business and think I got their donuts on an off day because there was a huge line out the door here. I would be willing to come back and give them and their donuts another shot. 3.5 rounding to 4.
