Bird Rock Coffee Roasters Expanding to Del Mar and Points North | Eater San Diego

"Set to debut on Saturday, April 21, the new 1,000-square-foot Bird Rock Coffee Roasters cafe in Del Mar — which joins the roaster’s existing locations in Little Italy, La Jolla, and Bay Park — pairs a matching 1,000-square-foot patio with views of Torrey Pines Reserve and the lagoon. The renovated space emphasizes education, featuring a screen showing coffee-related videos and a custom mural created by a local barista, and will serve the roaster’s core coffee and espresso drinks along with seasonal beverages and expanded food offerings including a toast option. It will open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (with possible future hour extensions). The opening is described as the first step in a West Coast expansion that Jeff Taylor says will head north while keeping a coastal focus, following a partnership last year with a larger coffee company to grow its presence in the specialty coffee market." - Candice Woo
