"I was looking for a place to work and grab some caffeine in La Jolla. This came up in my research of the area and WOW I love this place for its view, proximity to the beach, and the kindness of the people. I got a Honey B Latte (hot with almond milk) and it came to about the now usual ~$7. I ate at the place given that the free, nearby street parking is limited to two hours - I wanted to make the most of it. Service was kind and direct. There are a lot of different variations of coffee drinks you can choose from alongside smoothies! The baked goods looked delicious as well so someday I hope to come back and try. Early in the morning of a regular weekday, I was surprised by the number of families with young children who came to this place, which I think just goes to show how wonderful the cafe is. There are a good amount of inside seating, albeit it may be a little crowded the further back you go. There are outlets and WiFi that is provided. Be sure to check out the compliment jar - take one and leave one! I thought the cups they used were so cute and found myself taking a video for their design. I’ve heard the beans are also quite good - there seems to be a seasonal menu that goes around so if you’re a passionate coffee bean lover, please check this place out! God bless you all"

"Wowowowowow Bird Rock pulled through on the perfectly proportioned Cortado. Just the right milk to espresso ratio — foamed and poured to perfection. Divine!"

"Fun coffee shop, you see the employees like their jobs, bagel was okay but the rest of table loved their food.."

"Really like this coffee shop . On holiday here in La Jolla And I pass this shop a lot and decided to try it . Delicious decaf latte and a cheese danish (vegan) pastry - so tasty . The staff are very friendly and happy And it’s a nice atmosphere with plenty of seating - indoors and outdoors too . I would rate this place 10/10"

"Burly Rock’s coffee is too acidic and the price hits almost six dollars before tip. Nothing special . For an in-house roaster, the quality doesn’t match the cost. Hard to stay loyal when the value keeps slipping."
