Looking for Premium, Fair Trade Coffee? Bird Rock is a Must.

Looking for premium coffee that’s global, yet local? You’re at the right place. Though technically in La Jolla, Bird Rock Cafe is in an area that blurs into Pacific Beach and is within easy walking distance for many PB residents.

This cafe is particularly unique because they both roast their own coffee and offer an array of coffees from around the world. Locally and internationally, they emphasize having fair trade coffee relationships. Over the years they have traveled country-to-country to meet with roasters and coffee growers in-person, making sure to of the coffee’s origins and ensuring its authenticity. When you order a cup of joe from Guatemala, you can be sure that’s truly where it’s from.

The values of the founders are reflected in the personality and atmosphere of the cafe. The front is wide open and welcoming. The baristas are incredibly friendly, endeavoring to give you truly great cups of caffeinated goodness.

Recommendation: Look into attending their coffee cupping event, which is hosted every Friday at 10:30 am. You must make reservations, which tend to book out about 3 weeks in advance. Go ahead and secure your reservation now at: http://birdrockcoffee.com/about/roasting-cupping/
