The Flower Pot Cafe and Bakery
7530 Fay Ave, La Jolla, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked just two blocks from La Jolla Cove, this beloved spot stands out for its thoughtfully curated atmosphere complete with abundant seating across a charming patio and cozy indoor space filled with books, games, and puzzles—making it as much a gathering place as a cafe. The kitchen takes pride in crafting quality items from organic ingredients, from espresso drinks that impress visitors from across the country to generously portioned sandwiches and brunch offerings that justify the loyal following. Dog-friendly and welcoming to both coffee sippers and all-day workers, it's the kind of independent cafe that makes you understand why locals skip past the usual tourist spots to land here.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Wifi.
