About Us

The heart of Brick & Bell Cafe was born in 2003 inside a charming century-old brick building in La Jolla Village. This is where it all began: a cozy space with a cottage-like atmosphere and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee that quickly won over locals and visitors alike. This location preserves the brand’s original spirit, simplicity, warmth, and extraordinary quality in every cup of coffee and every pastries.

In 2015, Brick & Bell brought its charm closer to the ocean, opening its second cafe in La Jolla Shores. Just steps from the beach, this spot has become the perfect gathering place for surfers, tourists, and families looking for a hearty breakfast or a quick snack before or after the waves. The laid-back atmosphere reflects the coastal lifestyle of the area, without losing the cafe’s homemade essence and the unforgettable flavor of its scones.

Situated inside the XIMED building, within the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla complex, this Brick & Bell Cafe brings the brand’s signature charm into a healthcare setting. It’s the perfect place for patients, visitors, or hospital staff to take a pleasant break with quality coffee, fresh scones, or a light meal. With a friendly team and efficient service, the Ximed location offers a variety of coffees, cold drinks, sandwiches, salads, and snacks all with the same handcrafted quality that defines Brick & Bell. Ideal for visitors as well as healthcare professionals and students looking for a quick energy boost or a peaceful spot to relax.

Launched in 2024, Brick & Bell Plus was created as an evolution of the beloved experience. Located on Fay Avenue, inside the Merrill Lynch building, this space blends the traditional coziness of the brand with a broader concept, offering new menu options and greater convenience for those working or studying nearby. It’s proof that the brand continues to grow while staying true to its roots.
