Zumbar Coffee & Tea
10920 Roselle St, La Jolla, CA
Crema's Take
“Zumbar is a hidden gem where the care they pour into their craft really shines through—they roast their own beans in-house, and regulars rave about standouts like their Hummingbird blend. The knowledgeable baristas genuinely enjoy sharing their passion for coffee, whether you're an espresso enthusiast or just curious about the differences between brewing methods, making every visit feel like a conversation with someone who truly loves what they do. It's become a beloved neighborhood spot in La Jolla where locals bring visiting friends and family to show off their city's coffee scene.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
