You go above and beyond to make me feel valued as a customer and I truly appreciate your dedication to make customers happy.Thank you for creating such a lovely experience. I look forward to my next visit at PARU“
“We had an amazing experience here. We stopped by after all the amazing reviews. The owners graciously made some recommendations when they saw we were new. They recommended the Baja Burrito and the Mediterranean Bagel. They were both delicious and the burrito was packed with food! Even with the breakfast rush the owners were patient with everyone. They remember every patron and their order which I can't imagine doing. After only being there for one breakfast, they made us feel so welcome. I can't wait to come back on our annual CA trips! Thank you so much for the wonderful food and hospitality.“
“This place was a big of a hidden gem - the service was incredible for fast casual and the empanadas and beans and rice were probably the best we have had - cooked perfectly and so well seasoned. We also loved the Ropa Vieja. Also don't miss the Cuban coffee and a cinnamon roll!“
“Came here to do work and have a drink and the atmosphere is perfect for a beautiful day in lj to do laptop work.Great coffee and amazing matcha on tap which I was surprised how good it was! I also had their soyrizo bowl and it was pretty tasty! They have lots of breakfast and lunch options, more than any coffee shop I've been to“
“AMAZING! Froglanders had the best Açaí Bowls ever. You will not be disappointed at all. I’ve been here over 20-30 times probably just for the Açaí Bowls. The crepes are also amazing and they have tons of Vegan options. I’m Vegan so when I get my bowls I ask for the Vegan Nutella. The way they layer their bowls are absolutely amazing. You’ll never find anything else like this, the amount of states I’ve been to and how many açaí bowls I’ve had in my life, none are ever on the same level as this one. I moved down to Chula Vista and I come all the way here just for the bowls lol. Also great peeps.“
“Ate one of the best ice cream flavors I've ever had at Scoops - Lemon Poppyseed Muffin Ice Cream.This place is awesome if you're looking to grab ice cream, crepes, coffee, affogato or milkshakes while visiting La Jolla.They're within walking distance of La Jolla Shores Park and have ample outdoor seating and a rest room. They had a really large menu with a lot of ice cream flavors and milk shakes to try - they also cater to different dietary restrictions in case you're gluten free or dairy free.Dietary restrictions: Can accommodate Dairy/ Gluten Free“
“Went to PB Farmers Market yesterday and what a delightful surprise to find this coffee truck! The cortado was perfect and the blueberry lime cookies divine!! We will be back soon to their Garnet location! Well Done!Parking: Street parking and lots nearby“
“I'll admit, I'm still unsure about the pronunciation of this place, but it's become my favorite hidden Italian gem nestled in La Jolla. Saturday mornings here are my little escape - a cappuccino with oat milk and a pistachio croissant. The vibes are spot-on - a perfect blend of beachy, chill, and romantic. While I've had better croissants elsewhere, this one holds its own, landing on the better end of the spectrum. The cute cappuccino cup, complete with a little dried flower on top, adds a delightful touch. The food selection, in my opinion, is decent - nothing mind-blowing, but pretty good. If I had to choose, the salmon toast gets my vote over the avocado toast. However, it's the vibes, cappuccino, and croissants that keep drawing me back. I've already made this my go-to spot for those lazy Saturday mornings.“
“Nestled in the heart of La Jolla, the Corner Mercantile and Eatery beckons with its irresistible charm.

At the heart of this culinary haven is Lisa, the vivacious host whose laughter fills the air like a melody, instantly making you feel at home.Lisa's quick wit and mischievous twinkle infuse every encounter with laughter and joy, turning a simple meal into a delightful escapade. Her recommendations are as flavorful as her personality, guiding you through a culinary journey that leaves your taste buds tingling with delight.From savory soups to decadent desserts, each dish is a testament to the kitchen's dedication to perfection. The cozy ambiance invites you to linger, savoring not just the food but also the camaraderie shared with fellow diners.But beware, for Lisa's dry wit can catch you off guard, her piercing stare a playful challenge to keep up with her banter. Yet, it's all part of the charm that makes the Corner Mercantile and Eatery more than just a restaurant—it's a cherished memory waiting to be savored again and again. And she knows my friend Sarita who we were visiting immediately after we left Lisa. Make it a stop.“
“Harry's coffee shop is an absolute staple in the community and my husband and I always enjoy coming here for breakfast and brunch! They have an old school diner vibe but the food is so much better than your normal diner. I love getting the waffle combo with eggs and bacon. The waffle is light but crispy. Sometimes I splurge and grab a side of hash browns which are also super good. My husband loves the Reuben on rye bread. I also love that they have an espresso machine! I had an iced dirty chai latte and it was super good, just what I needed. The service is always good. Everyone is working hard and moving fast. They get busy so be patient! And definitely add Harry's to your list of 'must try's'. You won't regret it.“
“Can't really say anything negative about BRCR except the long line, which is obviously not the businesses fault! Love how there's a different coffee ready to try almost every time I go in. Nice spot to stop during a weekend drive or before/after hitting the beach. Parking can be a pain sometimes but you can usually find a spot with one or two passes. Really good local vibes that a Starbucks or Dunkin can't provide.“
“The selling pint for Pinpoint Cafe is the view! It's located on UCSD's campus, a little ways up from Scripps pier. There really isn't accessible parking nearby so be prepared to walk. The coffee and food here is honestly on the average side. They have some simple foods like acai bowls, breakfast burritos etc. That being said, the view is fantastic so it's worth checking out on its own!“
“Subterranean is amazing!! I’m so happy they opened this location, I’ve been going to the north park and South Park locations for years but this one is much closer. They have the best acai bowls I’ve ever had and their coffee is delicious. I love the different flavor combinations they create too. Check them out!“
“Great service, first time there and I got their Vietnamese coffee half sweetened with an egg salad sandwich. (It will now be my go to) It was busy, but I received my drink and food quickly. Will be going there again! Lots of chairs and seating areas as well to sit at and perfect do some studying.“
“Very relaxed atmosphere, tasty food, fast service. It's nothing fancy but that's exactly what I'm looking for on a beach vacation. We come here every single morning when we are in La Jolla which is often! Love this little cafe. Try the cinnamon rolls or maple scones (:“
“The coffee and bakery tastes pretty good. Barista was friendly. I bought some whole beans, although they don’t mark the date when the beans were roasted or an expiration date. To have the best of coffee a fresh roast and consumption in a month or so is a must.“
“This place has some thing for everyone. I particularly like the Hawaiian Punch smoothie and will drive 20 mins just for it. No other smoothie I've had at other juice places come close to how good this drink is. My son loves the Raspberry macaroons. If you want a drink less thick than a smoothies but still fruity, try the watermelon slush add strawberries.“
“Everything I've had from here is amazingly delicious! Great flavor and wonderful combinations of ingredients. The prices are a little high and portions on the smaller side, but I assume it's all high-qualify, organic, so it's understandable.“
“This is such a cute shop! The gentleman serving us today was really friendly and welcoming. All the desserts looked amazing! The macarons were really good, and gluten-free! They also had a nice variety of chocolates, cake things, and a gelato counter. Great spot to satisfy a sweet tooth!“
“Amanda and Gloria have such a delightful personality and are always hard at work making their customers feel at home with their beautiful friendly smiles. The food is beyound delicious and the atmosphere is very unique. I have been eating here many times and have brought in family/friends too. Everyone has been happy and thankful to have eaten here as well as meeting Amanda and Gloria ? A must visit spot!“
“Carlos, the owner, was our host and was playing some very cool/hip music which we loved. He introduced himself and told us all about this new venture for him and his partner and wife. The smoothie I got was delicious (mango) and so was the one my wife got (coconut). Make sure to stop by and have some samples and then pick the one you like best. Que Dios Los bendiga! And why not…it’s JC….“
“I'll start by saying I never leave reviews, just not my jam typically. But I really appreciated the barista checking in as he was making my half caf americano. I cut down the caffeine intake as it gets later in the day and he let me know their version would still be equivalent to a full at most other cafes, then offered to customize it unprompted. Excellent service, above and beyond the job description. I'll be back for sure.“
“NEW MENU AND NEW HOURS!For the first time since the pandemic, the Bean has extended their hours! A great place to get work done and meet up with friends or even colleagues! The café is INSIDE the Jewish Community Center, tell the front desk you want to go to the Bean and they will allow you :)“
“I recently visited Rosemonts Cafe and it was an absolute delight! This cute shop offers a cozy environment where you can work, lounge, or simply sit back and enjoy your day. The atmosphere is inviting and the perfect place to relax.Abby, the owner of the shop, was incredibly gracious and welcoming to me and my friends. Her warm hospitality made our visit even more enjoyable. The service was top-notch and the staff was friendly and attentive.I highly recommend Rosemonts Cafe to everyone.“
