I came here on a Sunday morning and with about 5 people in front of me I expected it to take a little bit wait, but not 30 minutes. I commiserated with my fellow line mates, gawking at how the line had gotten out the door, without moving! "Are we at Disneyland in line for a broken ride?" We watched as the sole barista on the bar chatted away with a friend about a business idea or clothing brand or something animatedly for ages! Cool, catch up with your friends, but also...can you please make us coffee? Then, the only cashier decided to leave his post to refill napkins, and restock ice. When I finally made it to the register the employee said "we are pretty backed up it'll be about a 25 minute wait on food or espresso drinks". You're kidding. I was forced to order a hot coffee (which I never drink - not bad actually) to save time and get back to my business. As I was leaving the customer who had chatted with the barista for 20 minutes and wasted everyone's time got BACK IN LINE! If there are events in the area you need to STAFF ACCORDINGLY.

Choose wrong and the opportunity would be wasted. Goldchild takes the medal (yes the gold one). I considered playing my odds with the dealer's choice, where they craft a customized drink to your preferences, but I love a macchiato too much to stray. The barista confirmed that I was asking for a traditional macchiato; we slyly laughed together knowing that is the only real macchiato. The macchiato was perfect. The espresso and the milk foam clearly divided. The roast perfectly smooth while still having a perfect punch to it. I sat in front of the La Marzocco custom painted with rap artists from the 90s and early 2000s. She'd asked my name for the order, but she was really asking my name for my entire experience. As I bused my table and returned my ceramic mug, I thanked her for the great drink. She said, "thank you Josh, I'm glad you enjoyed it." There must have been a dozen drinks served between my order and leaving. Do I change my flight the next day just so I can come back for a cortado next? Tempting.

I got the banana latte with marshmallow cold foam with the "pop tart" pastry and both were really good.

Not pricey since they make it good, their fresh earthy coffee was dang good! San Diego best ever, tucked well in little Italy and not crowded but homey, and it's just calm...

Bird Rock has a great selection of iced and cold drinks and even what looked to be a great Macha. Along with the selection they also offer pour over coffees with specialized hand picked beans. It has a little something for everyone. I got the ice Honey B Latte. It's super good! It's your normal latte but with honey and cinnamon in it. A great combo! It's not overly sweet, you can still taste the great espresso and it has a great cinnamon flavor. It all pairs very well. The service was fast and friendly in this trendy little store. The food options in Bird Rock are limited but that's not a big deal since you will be in little Italy with amazing food just steps away!! This is a must try next time you are in San Diego!

I got the iced pistachio cream latte and oh my gosssh the cold foam!? made just right! so creamy, super flavorful, and you can really taste the pistachio. I love that the cold foam is made in house. The only thing is I'm not sure if that's their normal iced coffee size (I forgot to ask bc I got distracted after trying the cold foam/ so good) but for $7 I'd def want a bigger cup next time. The espresso itself was a solid 10/10 ! The vibe here is super cute, the owner was super sweet and I love the merch, the name of the shop and even the drink names. Street parking I went around 1ish and found a spot right away, but it could be a hit or miss. This spot is worth checking out for sure!

It was cooked perfectly and tender. We also split their Sottoterra salad, and really enjoyed the freshness and goat cheese. For my entree I opted for their seafood risotto which was on their daily specials menu, and it was phenomenal. There were plenty of shrimp and mussels, and the risotto was cooked to perfection. My husband also really enjoyed his beef gnocchi dish. He truly can't stop talking about it. We took our baby in a stroller with us, and their covered patio was perfect for us. They had warming lamps out as it did get cool when the sun went down. Our waitress was also very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We'd love to return when back in town!

There was also a black-haired male bus boy who kept coming over and checking on us, and he was so fast when we asked for extra balsamic or Parmesan, and even followed up asking if we were OK. he was so kind and always approached our table with a smile. Overall, excellent service and the food was stupendous! I loved my spaghetti Bolognese and we had the Burata Caprese appetizer. The Burata cheese was so soft and delicious! My boyfriend had the ciopino special and he really loved it!
