Crema's Take

This laid-back La Jolla spot delivers genuinely good cold brew and creative matcha drinks at prices that won't make you wince, all just steps from the beach. While consistency has been hit-or-miss with the espresso drinks, the real standout is the warmth of the staff—baristas like Gloria bring real personality to your order and actually seem to care about getting your drink right. It's the kind of independent coffee shop that feels like a genuine neighborhood favorite, perfect for grabbing something tasty before or after time on the sand.

Great local coffee shop close to the beach, good tasting cold brew and matcha at a good price point steps away from the ocean! Will be back

The coffee at Pump is very bad. I have tried this location three different times since it is close to my house, and have been disappointed each time. The iced vanilla matcha was $8 and tasted like water/milk, I had to do a double take because I was so caught off guard at how bad the drink was. The iced coffee is the same- lacks in flavor and expensive. The staff have always been friendly and the location is cute but sadly the coffee is not worth it

Randomly came across this super cool coffee shop! Gloria was the sweetest barista! Her bubbly personality made our stop even more so pleasant and enjoyed our coffee and pastries after her great suggestions 🫶🏽☕️

Originally, I had planned to order a matcha latte, but unfortunately, they had run out of matcha today. So, I ended up opting for a caramel macchiato with whole milk, and to my surprise, it was surprisingly delicious. In addition to the great taste of the drink, the service provided by the friendly white lady was truly exceptional. I can’t help but wonder if Ashley will respond to this review. 😊

Stopped by for coffee, espresso, and some vegan pastries for breakfast. Staff very friendly and they were quick to put together our order. Double espresso was pulled well. Also got two lattes (one hot and one cold) that I was told were okay. We got a croissant (non -vegan) and a vegan pumpkin muffin, both of which tasted good. I’m not sure if they’re made on premises or brought in from somewhere—if I had to guess, it’s the latter based on the quality of the croissant (high number of folds).
