North County’s Worst Coffee Spot:Every single time I come here, they make a mistake. I’m a neighbor, and I’ve come back multiple times over the years in hopes of them improving. Finally time to leave a review after today’s (yet again) failure. First and foremost it takes 5 minutes to get a cup of coffee, which is great. Then you enjoy your latte outside only to find out that your food won’t be ready for another 40 minutes. Happens every time. Then when your food does come out, it’s an incorrect order and they are out of salsa. Oh, and you finished your coffee 20 minutes ago.I would not recommend this establishment if you would like to have an enjoyable experience, which is a real shame because their coffee is on the better side.
Fantastic coffee! We were in the area for a training. This coffee shop have friendly and helpful staff. The coffee I had was delicious as was the pastry. Excellent coffee shop to visit .
From the outside, this place was clearly poppin' w/ the locals. They roast their own beans, check. Buy a bag of beans and get a free drip, check. Barista poured my drip with zero room, check. Coffee was aromatic and hot. Each sip, quite flavorful. Starbucks made going out for coffee cool, Bird Rock took that torch and ran with it.
I had the opportunity to go here a few times while I the area recently. Busy and bustling atmosphere, highly competent baristas, good pastries and good coffee. I went more than once, and would go again if in the area.
Honestly, I can't decide if I love this Bird Rock location so much because of the delicious coffee, or because of the incredible staff working here! Coffee (drinks) are always perfect and beautiful. Bird Rock lattes are my absolute favorite. Smooth, creamy, rich nutty flavor, perfect amount of foam, AND beautiful! Seriously. My husband loves their coffees (brewed varieties change daily). The pastries and food are great too.Ok, but in truth, it's the coffee team working here that makes it so special... wow! Genuine, warm, caring, calm ... real. I don't care how busy or frantic, they always smile and great us warmly. They look us in the eye and never rush us to get on to the next customer. I love that you can see them brewing your coffee, and even the person cooking in back. You can tell the team gets along well and enjoys their jobs. In addition, questions I've had about the different beans have always been answered intelligently and thoughtfully. Whoever does their hiring is spot-on and to be congratulated. They have found some real gems.Long story short? Come visit and stay awhile. Have an amazing cup of coffee along with a wonderful smile; both of which will brighten your day. That's what makes this our favorite north county coffeehouse and keeps us coming back! :) :) Sorry I don't have a picture of this morning's latte to attach to this review. Next time!
Some good coffee. Typically pretty fresh, though not as good as down in Morena Blvd. location. Staff is pretty friendly, but mysteriously never offering any Splenda, Equal or artificial sweeteners -- unlike all the other locations. Also woefully missing prices for many coffees. a price list tries to show the prices, but always some coffee's missing. the coffees are perfectly labeled, with the origin, elevation, process, varietal, roasting date, but always missing the main parameter: price in USD.
Excellent coffee spot. Espresso was dialed in and pulled great. Good gluten free options.
Awesome staff, fresh and piping hot coffee, cold beverage not watered down. Outdoor patio seating was wonderful
Expensive but the coffee does have a very high quality flavor
Great location friendly staff. They did a good job of getting through the line. Nice little location in the shopping center. Plenty of parking. Drinks were hot and delicious as always. Will be back!
