Cliffside coffee shop and café at 8755 Biological Grade on the campus of UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, 92037, perched above La Jolla Shores Beach with unobstructed Pacific Ocean views. Founded by two sisters who love coffee, Pinpoint Cafe sources from Cafe Moto and serves a full espresso menu alongside house-made breakfast sandwiches, burritos, acai bowls, fresh salads, pastries, and smoothies. The outdoor terrace is one of the most scenic places to sit with a coffee in all of San Diego — a popular study and working spot for UCSD researchers and a beloved destination for anyone willing to navigate the limited street parking. Open Mon–Sat from 7:30 AM (8 AM Saturdays). No restrooms on site; plan accordingly.
