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...read full review

Best coffee shop in La Jolla!!! Aline and Caroline are passionate about everything they do. Swing by and see what all the hype is about! Cheers, Christina ☕️

I would pick them to get my coffee at over any big commercial coffee shop. They are so sweet and the coffee is amazing. The best I've had. The one I go to is in del mar by the fair grounds and the parking lot is easy to get in and out of. I love the selection of food, my favorite is the Chicken Panini with the honey chipotle sauce. Highly recommend.
