About Bird Rock

Founder Chuck Patton started out like so many did, roasting coffee in his garage way back in 2001. His pathway to success was steady, initially selling beans through the La Jolla Farmers Market and a home-delivery service, until the groundswell of support saw Bird Rock Coffee Roasters' first cafe open in 2006. By 2012, they were crowned the prestigious Micro-Roaster of The Year award by Roast Magazine, honoring their commitment to excellence, sustainability and quality. Nowadays Bird Rock continues to grow their range of sustainable relationships with farming partners at origin, paying fair prices and collaborating on long-term goals together. BRCR's slogan "Empowered by Great Coffee" underpins their motivation and inspiration by the many hands that touch each coffee — from the farm workers at origin to the baristas in your own kitchen.
