Founded by Gianfranco, who grew up in Italy and brought his passion for authentic espresso to Southern California, Caffé di Talya is a coffee shop at 837 Turquoise St in Pacific Beach, 92109. The café imports its beans directly from Italy and uses traditional Italian roasting methods to produce drinks that range from bold single-origin espressos to creamy cortados and pistachio-flavored lattes. Mornings draw laptop workers and dog owners to the open-air courtyard, where the border of North Pacific Beach and La Jolla keeps foot traffic relaxed compared to the busier Garnet Ave scene. After 5 p.m. the menu shifts to include Roman-style pinsa bianche, a lighter alternative to pizza made with a slow-fermented blend of wheat, rice, and soy flours that results in a crispy, airy crust topped with ingredients like fresh mozzarella, truffle oil, and prosciutto. Italian desserts including tiramisu and gelato round out the evening offerings. The Turquoise Street location sits near several other independently operated restaurants, including Enoteca Adriano, another Italian-leaning spot where diners can continue an evening of Mediterranean flavors. Reviewers frequently highlight the matcha latte and the croissants as standout morning items, and live performances occasionally fill the courtyard with music. Caffé di Talya also offers catering and a loyalty program, and its free parking lot sets it apart from many Pacific Beach coffee shops that force visitors into metered street spots. Mediterranean and Greek cuisine fans walking the neighborhood often pair a visit here with dinner at Cafe Athena, located a few blocks south. The café is open daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 5 to 9 p.m., offering two distinct experiences under one roof.
