European-style espresso bar and wine café at 7863 Girard Ave, Suite 105 in La Jolla, 92037 — tucked below street level inside La Plaza La Jolla with indoor seating and a quiet outdoor patio. Elixir is built around in-house bean grinding and its proprietary Screaming Goat espresso blend, served in proper ceramic cups with sparkling water in the Italian tradition — a ritual that echoes the Roman café culture at il giardino di Lilli down Girard. The menu spans savory crepes (turkey and spinach is the standout), Brie and Pear Bites, avocado toast, croissants, and daily pastries alongside a curated wine list by the glass. A calm midday retreat from the buzz of Girard, open daily 7 AM–6 PM. Prospect Street visitors who want the same European sensibility with estate-grown wines step into The Trading Post Café & Bar at Estancia La Jolla.
