Coastal Coffee - Scripps Memorial Hospital
9888 Genesee Ave, La Jolla, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked right on the Scripps Memorial Hospital grounds in La Jolla, this coffee cart punches well above its weight with genuinely excellent espresso that regulars rave about for its perfect balance and clarity. The baristas—especially beloved team members like Kay and Hess—remember your order and treat you like a friend, making it the kind of place where hospital staff and visitors alike keep coming back between shifts or appointments. Beyond the stellar specialty drinks and cold brew, their pastries like chocolate chip banana bread and lemon loaf make it easy to linger a moment longer than you planned.”

Kay was absolutely awesome and the coffee here was one of the best I’ve had including large chains! The espresso was perfect not acidic or Saoor very high-quality and woke me up right away. Must try!
Love coming to the coffee cart while at work! Baristas are super friendly and remember your order! Love Hess! 🤗 And the chocolate chip banana bread 🤤
This place serves the best iced caramel macchiato I’ve ever had! The staff are always kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. All their beverages and pastries are absolutely delicious — highly recommend!
Usually have a decent experience here. Though my drinks are often wrong. But today this girl wouldn’t make an ice blended drink because they close in 20 minutes. I guess she didn’t want to clean the blender. 😂 it wasn’t because they were out of ice since she offered me an iced drink instead.
Super delicious spot right on hospital grounds. Got a coffee and lemon loaf in between my shift and they have great custom service. I don’t think I spelt your name right, but thank you Kaelana for being so sweet and efficient!
