About Caffé di Talya - Coffee Shop

Your Pacific Beach Coffee Shop

Located at 837 Turquoise St in the heart of Pacific Beach, Caffe di Talya is just steps away from the sand and surf. Our inviting courtyard offers the perfect spot to savor your morning Caffè Vergnano espresso or enjoy an afternoon pistachio latte in the sea breeze.

With indoor and outdoor seating, we’ve created a space where PB locals, surfers, and beachgoers can gather, unwind, and experience authentic Italian coffee without leaving the neighborhood.

Our Craft

Why Our Coffee Stands Out

At Caffe di Talya, every cup is a labor of love. We brew coffee the Italian way, honoring traditions that go back generations in Pacific Beach.

Traditional Italian Roasting Methods

Our beans are carefully roasted using time-honored Italian techniques, delivering the perfect balance of boldness and smoothness in every cup.

Premium Quality Ingredients

We source ethically grown, high-quality beans, including Caffè Vergnano, for a superior taste that keeps Pacific Beach locals coming back.

Handcrafted Espresso & Specialty Drinks

From macchiatos to cortados and our famous pistachio latte, each drink is made with precision, passion, and a touch of Italian artistry.

The Best In PB

Why We’re Pacific Beach’s Favorite Coffee Shop

For PB locals, surfers, and beach lovers, Caffe di Talya has become a daily ritual. Here’s why.

Authenticity

We bring the true flavors of Italy to Pacific Beach. Our founder Gianfranco grew up in Italy, and every recipe, from our espresso to our pinsa, comes straight from his homeland. Nothing is made up. Nothing is adapted. It’s the real thing.

Quality

We serve Caffè Vergnano, one of Italy’s most respected coffee brands. Our beans are ethically sourced and carefully roasted, and Pacific Beach regulars have noticed the difference.

Community

More than a coffee shop, Caffe di Talya is a neighborhood gathering place. Early morning surfers stop in for a pre-session espresso. Friends meet here for evening pizza in the courtyard. Pacific Beach has made this place their own.
