Brick & Bell Cafe - La Jolla Shores
2216 Avenida De La Playa, La Jolla, CA
Crema's Take
“Brick & Bell is a cozy La Jolla gem where quality coffee and thoughtfully made pastries (their cranberry scones are genuinely light and fluffy) meet a genuinely welcoming vibe right by the shores. It's the kind of spot that locals and kayakers alike recommend to each other, where you can grab a perfectly pulled espresso drink or a sunrise sandwich on croissant without the pretension, plus they're one of the few places open early on weekends. The whole experience feels refreshing and unpretentious—people don't just come for the coffee, they come back because the staff and atmosphere make them feel at home.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
