Bird Rock Coffee

Jeff and Maritza Taylor

Jeff and Maritza Taylor of Bird Rock Coffee recognize a great cup of joe starts well before the cup. Now with six locations around San Diego, and distribution across southern California, they still pride themselves on working with small farmers in Central and South America. They were recognized as Roaster of the Year in 2012—a national once-in-a-lifetime award given by Roast Magazine—are consistent high-scorers from Coffee Review, and the recipients of a 2017 and 2019 Good Food Award. With all their knowledge and industry certification, Bird Rock’s staff is sought after throughout the world for their coffee expertise.

From the farmer to the beans, the roasting to the brewing, to their service, neighborhood relationships and impact on the environment, Jeff and Maritza always strive for perfection. They seek green coffee that meets their high standards, then roast and prepare it with the utmost respect to those who grew it.
