Bird Rock Coffee Roasters

Bird Rock Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee cafe at 1420 Kettner Blvd in San Diego's Little Italy neighborhood. One of only two roasters in the country to earn a top rating from Coffee Review, they source single-origin beans from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, and beyond, each roasted to highlight distinct tasting notes. The casual, buzzing space suits solo work sessions and quick morning stops alike, with a welcoming energy that keeps regulars coming back. Guests rave about the honey cinnamon lattes, dirty chai, and even non-caffeinated options like strawberry sparkling tea. Buying a bag of beans gets you a free coffee, a small perk that adds real value.
