At 1934 Balboa Ave in the 92109 ZIP code, Wake Up Point is a coffee stand tucked into a pocket of Pacific Beach where Balboa Ave passes between Lamont and Morrell streets. The cart-style setup specializes in premium Italian Lavazza coffee, served alongside pastries in a shaded outdoor environment framed by palm trees and steady foot traffic from nearby cyclists and joggers. Wake Up Point opened as a "sit and stay" concept designed for remote workers and students who want fresh air with their morning espresso, and the stand offers free WiFi so customers can set up a laptop without hunting for an indoor seat. Orders are takeout only, and the stand accepts Apple Pay, credit cards, and debit cards. Hours run from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekdays and 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on weekends, making it an early-morning option for anyone heading to The French Gourmet for a full sit-down breakfast later in the day. The location sits along a stretch of Balboa Ave that connects the I-5 corridor to the beach communities, catching commuter traffic in both directions. Visitors looking for a different flavor profile after their coffee run can walk east along Garnet Ave toward Phở Time - Vietnamese Fusion for a savory lunch.
