50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants La Jolla

“Great food and service! Some really hard working staff there!“

“Pesce freschissimo servito al momento, servizio veloce e amichevole, bella atmosfera, vini e acqua italiani. Ho ordinato un’insalata con gamberi e granchio, quando ho iniziato a mangiare ho visto che c’era della cipolla e la stavo togliendo, il proprietario accorgendosene è venuto da me per farmelo rifare. Un’attenzione fuori dal comune. ♥️“

“Great meal. Dessert was a wow.“

“Fun flavors, friendly staff, and cute little shop. Cupcakes themselves are good but not amazing. The cake was a bit dry, and to some degree there is only a good cake or not good cake; hard to be blown away by anything there. The frosting/flavors add fun options and were where the cupcakes were good, making up for the deficit in the cakes themselves. Overall, it’s a fun shop, definitely worth a try or two!“

“We love this bar, been dining here for over 22 years. We've seen it change from the original twice in that time, the latest recently opening so we checked it out today. We ate lunch here and the positives were it was excellent food, good drinks and great service.

It was also our own private restaurant, we were the only diners which surprised us at first. But, once we saw the both very limited and very off-the beaten-track menu choices we understood this is now a place you come when you either want Happy Hour or have a very specific craving.

The menu is oddly specific for a tourist area, none of the very usual comfort food items on this menu here; (not kid friendly in my opinion either) as an FYI). But, to be clear, our lunches were delicious!

Also, in the County of over 1120 micro-breweries, they literally only offer 1 beer on tap and no bottles. One beer! They also only offer one desert. so you either want the one or you do what we did, walk down the street and eat desert somewhere else ?.

But, we do love this hotel and it's restaurants, we've been dining, drinking and staying here for over 22 years (as locals) and still encourage you to check it out.“

“We’re visiting from Austin Tx and decided to try Philz, it was one of the best coffees we’ve had in a long time. The pastries were so delicious as well. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I hope you all come to Austin someday🩷“

“Delicious food, kind staff, great atmosphere. We spilled our fresh coffee all over our table and I went in to ask for a rag and one of the staff was so kind about it and insisted she clean it up for us. She then remade our coffee for free to replace the spilled one. Always love coming to the Buzz when in La Jolla!“

“What happens when fine dining meets meal prep ? Urban plates you nailed it. Who knew best steak ive had could be prepared fast and efficiently delivered to my door. Wow 🤩 5 stars . RFK approved.“

“My wife is half Cuban on her mother side, and I can attest that this spot is the real deal. Not only is the ropa vieja was perfect! The Yuca fries were awesome, the empanadas were fantastic, and the black beans paired with everything. The rice was warm and buttery, and the service was so fast I was shocked the food was ready. Those place is a gem that you can’t miss if you enjoy Cuban food and atmosphere! My wife is a vegetarian and she got the veggie empanadas, and it was her favorite.“

“Ordered the full size sampler. It was so tasty and I loved that I could try all the options and not be limited to one. It was perfect for 2 of us to share. But if you are hungry, it might not be enough for 2 people. The bread is absolutely delicious... toasted and buttered to perfection!“

“I recently discovered a charming location for boba lovers like myself, and it turned out to be the perfect pit stop on our journey. The place boasts an impressive variety of flavors, aligning well with my dietary preferences. Opting for a dairy-free treat, I chose the piña colada flavor, which was nothing short of delightful - a sweet and creamy concoction that I highly recommend to anyone with a similar taste for tropical flavors.

The ambiance of the boba shop is equally appealing. It's spacious, filled with natural light, and maintained with meticulous cleanliness, creating a very inviting atmosphere. The overall vibe is relaxed and positive, making it a pleasant place to sit back and enjoy your drink.

Moreover, this spot is notably dog-friendly, much like most places in La Jolla, which makes it an ideal stop if you're out with your pet. For those seeking a refreshing start to the day or a healthy snack, this boba shop is a fantastic option, offering not just delectable boba but also an array of healthy food choices.“

“I want to say yes and recommend them. But I can't because I have a subscription to their coffee but they sent me the wrong coffee. it's been about a week, I've call a few times, left two voice mail messages, I've emailed as well and I have not gotten any response at all. The coffee I bought and subscribed to is good, but I can't continue to do business with a company that won't respond to their customers to fix their mistakes.“

“Chef Felix and family put together an excellent meal. Every. Single. Day.I've been going here for 4+ years and am still going back. Everytime Chef curates, weekly, a menu and will even still make you almost anything you can cook on a skillet. From flatbreads, to home made soups, and a Cubano I would fight you for, they make a bit of everything.¡Provecho!“

“good service and good food“

“This spot is definitely gorgeous for a coffee break. Awesome view and clearly a local student/staff favorite. They grilled our egg salad sandwich in the panini maker and the iced matcha latte was delicious. The crew here helpful And warm. Also very quick. I only wish there was more “bar style” seating for those who tend to linger for hours on their own instead of taking up a whole table. It’s been super crowded with no seating the last few months bc people tend to stay for hours working. Which I totally understand. But for a UCSD alum like me, I may just wanna sit for half an hour maybe an hour at most and often there is no seating. That’s my only suggestion. Add single person searing. But I’ll definitely be back and hope to come before a “rush”. The line can get very long. (I get it. I used to work in a cafe at the Price Center and it was crazy there). Also would Love if they stayed open later. One can only hope.“
