Love Little Joy, just as its name suggests! We’ve been enjoying the delightful coffee crafted by the skilled baristas there. It’s such a charming spot, filled with friendly locals. Every day, we savored world-class coffee under the sparkling sunshine of Del Mar. We’re now heading back to DC, but we’ll definitely return because this place is truly beautiful and one of a kind. Oh, the best pastry as Paris, too. Sending love to Little Joy!

It’s become my favorite coffee in the area . Best atmosphere and attention , I love the people here as much as my coffee, always make you feel welcome. Nice outdoors sitting and delicious pastries.

Little Joy is a delightful coffee destination, expertly crafted coffee in traditional methods, no silly extra stuff. You can sit outside and enjoy drinking out of ceramic with the locals or grab and go - great pastries too! Super friendly, locally owned and crafted with care.

Grab n go coffee shop with the kindest workers. No interior seating but plenty of nature scape seating under the trees and plants lending to a serene casual picnic. I grabbed a mocha latte and 2 pastries (1 apricot jam and 1 raspberry jam). These biscuit cookies were delicious! The mocha latte was a bit of an acidic back end for my liking so I'd try something else next time.

This place is quiant, simple and tasty! Coffee- got the cold brew and my partner got the latte. DiD NOT disappoint. The sweetness u get from the coffee right at the front of your first sip is amazing. Silky, sweet and bold! Got the ham and cheese croissant and it wasnt oily and had the perfect amount of sodium. The staff were friendly and helpful. They kept the area clean and were on top of their service! I didnt give the full 5 stars on atmosphere just cause it was a little small with no where inside to sit, however there are chairs and benches right outside of the shop. You can tell this is a special place with the amount of locals they knew passing by, to the smiles and patience their staff display. We’ll be back.
