Bird Rock Coffee Roasters

Coffee is good, do not get the chai though. I ordered and it looked like a cup of almond milk and tasted like straight sugar water. Couldn’t get it down. Also did not allow me to add a shot of espresso

Had a hair in my breakfast burrito, kinda unprofessional. I suggest they buy hair nets

Their coffees are Ahhmazing. Their syrups are housemade so it hits different and is authentic! Never going to Starbucks again lol. Tried their ice spiced pumpkin latte and the pumpkin flavor really came through without overpowering the coffee. Perfect balance! LUCKY AND ANTHONY ARE THE BEST!!! ☕️🍁🫶🏻❣️🎃

We came to the Carlsbad location for the first time today to take advantage of the 50% off pumpkin spice lattes in honor of National Pumpkin Day. They have the same great coffee and friendly service that made us love Bird Rock Coffee Roasters in Del Mar. My son and I both agreed we need more Bird Rock locations in North County.

The coffee here is really good and their breakfast burritos hit every time! The vibe is also nice. I sat here for an hour working on my laptop.

Great location and atmosphere and previously great craft espresso drinks. But their standards have clearly slipped from the barista standpoint.

From not cleaning out the portafilter after knocking out the last shot to grossly oversteamed milk the list goes on. Really no way to get a proper flat white without dousing it in sweetner.

I’d love to like bird rock again but they have to train their baristas and dial in etiquette. I currently drive an extra 5-6 min out of my way to steady state in the village to avoid going here as of now.

Ordered an iced coffee and got hot. Ordered an avocado bagel and got bacon and egg. Pretty sure the guy was new but it was a miss. The good news is they were both still really good.

Place is really cool but the coffee is definitely a different tase. A little bit off the wall and tastes pretty exotic which isnt my favorite.

Very glad to find a coffee shop that uses
Organic Whole Milk. The baristas offer excellent service on the coffee orders. The food has been made delicious. It is great to see such a strong workforce. Excellent customer service. I enjoy the mocha, cortado, and the garlic on the breakfast croissant sandwich 🙌

Love homemade vanilla syrup

Yummy drinks, amazing customer service, and I love how non-corporate it feels. Coffee drinks are supposed to have soul and this place nails it. I stopped going to my previous favorite because it turned into what essentially felt like an office building that served beverages. This place is the opposite and it’s great.

Bird Rock (original SD business) was easily one of the best coffee shops in San Diego. The location in Bird Rock served some of the richest and smoothest dark roast premium coffees you could find. Sadly, in 2017 the business was sold to a Kansas based corporation called PT's Coffee Roasting Co. Since then, they have opened eight new locations and completely **abandoned everything that made Bird Rock Coffee good**. I used to drive 30 minutes to get a Bird Rock coffee because it was rich, buttery, and flavorful. Now Bird Rock coffee looks like sickly urine. It is a dark yellow, transparent cup of sour bean tea. You will not find a more acidic and sour cup of “coffee” in California. The menu might say they have a “dark roast”; they do not. Do not be fooled. I have ordered this coffee and **poured it out** after one sip. I have a giftcard for $50 which, **I will not use**. I am baffled as to why anyone that appreciates coffee would go here. This is corporate slop masquerading as the reanimated corpse of a once proud San Diego brand. They took the branding and image of Bird Rock, chewed it up, regurgitated it, doubled the price, and handed it back to you. Sadly, many people can't tell the difference. Please do not be fooled. You can get an **infinitely** better cup of coffee and Phil’s. If that's not close, Lofty and Better Buzz are also superior options.

This morning, I enjoyed a coffee date with my wife at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, located in Carlsbad. While sipping a bold cup of coffee, there were several customers appreciating the store. Moreover, this coffee shop was well decorated, which creates an alluring ambience. The fresh water dispenser came in the form of coil copper tubing, which looked interesting. Bird Rack appeared popular. Several people were enjoying it. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. After all, Carlsbad has wonderful weather. What I found disappointing was the store policy of no free refills. To refill my cup costs $1, odd. I look forward to another bold cup of coffee at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters.

Cute coffee shop in Carlsbad. I ordered the Left Coast Latte with Salted Caramel and Oatmilk. So yummy. My friend ordered the Sandpiper and loved it. We both agreed the flavors weren’t overpowering. Definitely give this place a try.
