Have yet to figure out how they are able to make their sandwiches so flavorful with such simple ingredients and recipes, but they cracked the code. The sandwich line absolutely knocks it out of the park every time. Pastry's are AMAZING!!! Seriously if you're thinking of stopping at Starbucks, try out a local small business instead. The first time I came through, the owner actually knew many of the customers by name. PET FRIENDLY and...

This place is very, very good. The Italian is also incredible and the coffee is best I've had in the area. Plenty of space to sit and work.

Rosemonts was fantastic! We aren't from the area, and we went here during Hurricane Hilary. The owner staffed the cafe herself with help of her neighbor. They were friendly and accommodating. Due to a small wait, the owner gave us the almond croissant for free. It was very generous of her. It's a comforting location with great food and coffee!

This place is absolutely amazing! We normally love to try a different coffee shop every day on vacation, but not this last trip. After the first day, I knew I had to go back every morning for coffee and try their menu. Everything was delicious. The coffee was great, the open toast was to die for, and their pastries are made by a local French baker. The owner is so sweet and her whole team,...

The owner is so sweet and her whole team, despite how busy they were, were so nice and friendly. Next time I visit San Diego, I will definitely be making a breakfast stop again.

Had a lovely brunch here, highly recommend. The service was great, the baristas were very kind. I ordered the avocado toast and wanted to add an egg on top, and they kindly obliged. The coffee was delicious as well. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Meet Abby

Hi! I’m Abby, the owner of Rosemonts Cafe, located in the beautiful Windansea neighborhood of La Jolla, California. I was born and raised on Cape Cod, MA where the tourism industry is booming in the summertime. I started working as a waitress at the most popular restaurants on the Cape, and I quickly fell in love with the hustle of the restaurant industry.

After graduating high school, I moved to attend Florida Gulf Coast University, where I studied Hospitality & Resort Management. Throughout my twenties, I was constantly on the move, exploring over 30 different countries and even living in 6 states and 4 other countries.

In between my travels, I would often find work in the hospitality industry somewhere in its peak season to make and save as much as I could for my next trip. Prior to opening Rosemonts, I was living in Denver where I had started a Meal Prep Delivery Service out of my studio apartment kitchen in 2017. I had moved to Colorado from Miami Beach because I loved snowboarding, but the ocean had always been calling me back, so in 2018, I moved to La Jolla and opened a second location for my business.

For years, I was back and forth between Denver and San Diego before eventually selling both business locations. Of all the places I have lived and visited, I can honestly say La Jolla is the most special, so I always knew it was a place I’d want to plant some roots.

I moved into the Windansea neighborhood in July 2020, and every day for months, I would walk by this empty space, which is now Rosemonts, wondering why nobody had turned it into anything. I would often daydream about what I would do with it if it were mine. I made my first inquiry to the realtor in March 2021, finally toured the space in October, and put in an offer to lease in December. Two months later, on 2/2/22, I got the keys to the vacant space, and here we are! Rosemonts Cafe opened on April 30th, 2022.
