Good coffee stop for my morning beach walk. I have not tried any food but coffee is good. Mornings only, til noon, I think.

So here's the thing. Coffee is fine...I want to like it. I'm a local and I've been a few times....but attitude....no. I don't get it. You're not that cool guys. (Take a look at all the less than 5 star reviews, the owner responds and is a condescending jerk, so unacceptable, he's private messaged me being RUDE) I know that you think you are with your super trendy mustache, but drop the attitude. I won't be coming back. I can give business to 20 other good places between here and leucadia. Be happy, smile when I walk up to throw $4 at you for a cup of okish coffee. Calm down and be respectful. issues are the owner. Not cool and word spreads when you're local and in a tight knit community. After my initial post which had 3 stars the owner responded very poorly privately about me and my one sentence exchange with my 8 year old son. I got 5 kids I got out of bed to come to his business. Raise your hand if you're a tired parent who's not perfect. The owner I might add does not have children. Every time I've come and asked anything they've acted like I was stupid. The owner messaged me and told me to go to a different coffee shop, and that his shop is for happy positive ppl....only that was the whole reason for my post. I've been, I wasn't treated well and the Owner and staff were VERY UNFRIENDLY. How about just a simple apology. Also, I posted my review via FB and have had a few messages. This is the most recent from a friend who's parents live in Encinitas..... I saw your post about that coffee shop, so funny, I went there back in December, just picking up some coffees for my cousins while they were getting VG donuts, I would never go back. I couldn't put my finger on it but there just wasn't a sense of humanity, I'd never been there before and asked a question, I felt judged, hahahahaha, and I was being pleasant without distractions or anything. And as you said, the coffee was barely okay, not worth the $ The owner Responded multiple times but has since removed the responses. Laughing and telling me he doesn't have to kiss me ass.....so uncalled for and disgusting. So sad to have such a disrespectful business in my local neighborhood. read more

Bump coffee stand above the rest. Love the coffee (whole bean and pour over) and delicious empanadas. Outside of their tasty menu the people there are quality (owners and team members), they are friendly kind and alway have time to engage in friendly banter. read more

Two words. MOJITO COFFEE. Yes, you heard me. Not to mention the guys who started this business are so hot I don't call this Bump coffee I call it Hot Guy Coffee. read more

Bump Coffee - MOJITO Coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cardiff, California

This is by far my favorite coffee. Not only that, but it's one of my favorite early morning hang out spots. This place sits perfectly in the neighborhood and has become a staple in Cardiff already. They always invite the neighborhood to cook outs and make everyone feel extremely comfortable. read more

The owners and staff are friendly and super cool!! The pour overs are outstanding. The empanadas are amazing! The vibe is Cardiff chill. I LOVE this place! FYI: it closes at 11:00 am. That means 11:00 am, not 11:02 am. I would squeeze in a 6th star if I could! read more

RUDE Staff - oh my goodness!!! Why in the hell would you treat your customers like they are bothering you or inconveniencing you?!?! Thanks, but your stuff isn't THAT good, I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

It's a nice addition to our local flare. The coffee is delicious. The empanadas are perfect size and full of flavor.

By far the best coffee in Cardiff. Located next to VG's donuts and across the street from the San Elijo campground Bump makes great coffee, tea, cold brew, fresh squeezed OJ and the most delicious Empanadas you have ever had. Everything is organic so you know it's healthy. Bring your own cup and coffee is only $2. It's also dog friendly :) read more

See all

Good coffee. Simple menu. Well priced. These guys take pride in their business. I had the cold brew. Mojito next time. I'll be back. read more

Bump Coffee - Less is more. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cardiff, California

There were no precaution measures for COVID 19. The workers wear no masks. The menu is really limited and the coffee is not that great. So the risk is not even worth it. Aside from usual hand hygiene, to meet the requirements of public health measures-- face coverings MUST be worn. There is no way in these small quarters that you can maintain social distancing from what I can see and Individuals can still be asymptomatic. I can absolutely choose whether or not to be patron, which is why I am sharing why I chose not to come back. read more

They keep it simple. That's all you need in a coffee shop. Amazing coffee and people. And if you love Bump like I do, go check out Kara at Saltwater Culture in Mission Beach, too. She proudly serves Bump coffee out of a dope little alley shack. My go-to spots for coffee, hands down. Much love to them both. read more

Was super stoked to come drink some coffee that the significant other had been raving about. When you roll up no menu, cool bc guy brewing coffee was super chill and explained what they had to offer. Then we go to check out and get asked if we needed something else, at this point I forgot the list of empanadas available bc guess what I'm not caffeinated and there's no menu. Home girl seemed annoyed and at this point just came off as rude. Highlight: cool dude brewing coffee and that Serrano empanada is just so freaking delicious. Reminded me of the huevito with Chile I grew up eating that my mama made. Anything that reminds you of things your mama cooks are worth coming back for. Just wish there was a little less 'tude. read more

Grabbed fresh OJ and empanadas while camping at San Elijo. Easy walk across the street and the empanadas were to die for! Only wished they had more coffee/latte options. read more

Love this place. No frills amazing coffee, delicious empanadas and really good juices! I come back to Encinitas a couple of times a year and each time I'm in town I stop by Bump. The dudes the run/own? are laid back and chill. read more

Best Coffee- Great Service- Simple and Satisfying Menu. Every time I go into Bump coffee I am greeted with a smile and their pour over is the absolute best! I am a huge fan of the delicious empanadas and my kids love the fresh OJ. If you are looking for a new coffee spot - give Bump a try. You wont be disappointed. read more

There is no shortage of coffee shops in Encinitas/Cardiff but Bump stands out as the best. Their focus is phenomal pour over coffee & cold brew and they do it better than anyone around. This is not the place to go if you want your triple shot light foam soy latte served at a 117 degrees. You come here instead for perfectly roasted beans,precisely ground, resulting in a beatiful cup of pour over coffee. Trevor & Ryan are masters at their craft and are all around nice guys to converse with every morning. To those looking for other items besides coffee, the empandas are the perfect breakfast bite and my son loves their freshed squeezed OJ. I will continue to support Bump as they locally owned and serve one of the best cups of coffee I have had hands down. read more

Been here a few times after getting donuts next door and in general thought the coffee and service was pretty good. On our most recent visit, the pour-over looked and tasted equivalent to a weak tea. The water was poured so quickly that the grounds had no time to bloom and release any coffee goodness until she was ripping the filter out. At $4 for a small cup, I expect a little more love to be put into my coffee. read more

Great coffee, empanadas, vibe and location. Friendly owners and staff. Recently added fresh OJ!

I started going to Bump back when they had their truck, and now it is a daily stop for me. Bump introduced me to a well-crafted poor over. What I like most about Bump, is that they are NOTHING like philz. They are unique, they are part of the community, they provide quality, they have found what works, and they do it well. For those quoting grams, measurements, and desired specs, please return to starbucks. For those who enjoy a welcoming local vibe, a well-crafted cup of uniquely sourced coffee, and supporting local business, Bump is your place. Keep up the great works guys, the community is behind you! read more

All of their bottled Cardiff Juices and milks are AMAZING!!! Favorite new little spot for sure. The ambiance is nice as well and of course, perfect location! Everyone was super friendly and well knowledgeable. Stoked for bump coffee! read more

Bump Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cardiff, California

People were soooo nice. Husband's bold drip was good. I just prefer sweetener in my coffee... and I am diabetic... so to have the ONLY choice be agave was a bummer. I could not drink it... sad to say. Next time I need to bring my own! Love locally owned. (Cute t-shirts too) read more

No espresso. Great spot, good cold brew, but having espresso drinks would make this a new go-to spot

Empanadas and coffee smack way too hard. Plus a great vibe overall, especially post surf :)

Pour over coffee is really good. The empanadas were ok a bit more "bready" for my taste. Don't bother asking about the yelp check in because they already do that special and the guy at the counter sounded way confused when I tried to explain to him. No place really to hang just grab and go. Same lot as VG Donuts so you may have trouble parking because there's always a lot of people out their door. read more

This place is the best coffee shop in Cardiff. The people who work there are super nice and everything on their simple menu is excellent. I highly recommend the mojito ice coffee and mushroom empanada. They have a nice little outside bar that is covered by the overhang where you can sit and enjoy your coffee. I used to be a Starbucks guy, but after finding Bump it will be my new go to coffee spot in the morning before work! read more

Great coffee spot and love how friendly the staff is. Everything that was recommended everything has been wonderful! Love having this gem down the street from my casa. read more

Whether you're there for the pour overs, tea, fresh juice, empanadas, etc, it's the best way to start your day. The owners/employees have so much passion for what they do. They often go to source their own coffee from a variety of different countries so you know that the quality of the coffee is next-level and very intentional. The atmosphere and company is so welcoming that it feels like you're hanging out with friends- often times because you make friends while there. I couldn't have been happier when Bump opened less than a block from my house. Keep up the great work team! read more

We love this place. The coffee is smooth and satisfying. The staff is pleasant and helpful, especially during our first visit. We make it a destination when we travel to this beach area. read more

To be honest, I don't really write reviews, but this coffee had me at hello. The aroma alone made it okay to get up in the morning. And that is no joke read more

Bump Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cardiff, California

Everyone behind the counter is always smiling and friendly. The empanadas are awesome! The slow drip coffee is also fantastic, according to my wife(I don't drink coffee). We always take our friends who come from out of town down there for breakfast and they all end up taking some empanadas to go on their way home. Keep doing what you are doing Bump! read more

Worth every penny spent! Freshly ground and brewed coffee right in front of us, and the empanadas taste freshly made and delicious. I wish I lived here and could spoil myself here everyday read more

So stoked to see these guys open their shop in Cardiff, their first of what I'm sure will be a few bricks and mortar. Nice clean aesthetic, friendly service, and phenomenal pour over coffee. If you haven't tried bump Coffee, give them a chance to win your business, you won't be disappointed. I spent a year in Australia and became a bit of a coffee snob, these guys have legitimate coffee, it really is that good! I'm a raving fan, these guys rule. read more

My weekend always starts with a pour over hot brew from the guys at Bump at their set up in the Little Italy Farmers Market. It's the total experience for good coffee as the guys that run the company are cool and knowledgeable about the coffee beans and roasting process. The java is always on point. Check out Bump and get to know Trevor and Ryan, you'll likely become a fan! read more

This place is a hidden gem! The empanadas are the BEST you will ever have. The ham and cheese one is our favorite! Be sure to go early as they are only open till 11am. All the employees are always super friendly! Highly recommend! read more

Their coffee and empanadas are ALWAYS on point--perfect for post-surf or morning brew Love this place so much!!!!

This place was a great breakfast place for a quick snack while we waited for our table at Waverly. The empanadas were the right mix of cheese, bacon/sausage and egg. I will need to try the coffee next! read more

Jah bless these dudes! Every time rolling through, butt crack of dawn, my nipples crisp with frost on a brisk January morning, these guys are out here with a great vibe mon. Smiles, good conversation, engaging, customer service. Oh and GREAT LION of BABYLON, their coffee is THE SHIT. In a good way, of course. Almost buttery, soothing the back of the tongue, and tickling the sleep out the corners of your eyes, Mmmm. Don't even get me started on their Cold Brew Mojito, while cracking my daily coffee budget, sometimes you got to TREAT YO SELF and get down on one of these $5 beverages. No ragrets. The only trick is tracking these guys down, I recommend a follow on instagram or something. You don't need to wax your mustache to also support the small business folks. read more

Yum. Ryan and Trevor the owners are always there grinding and bringing good vibes to our community. Coffee is amazing and empenadas are so dang good. Highly recommend! read more

I love Bump! They're my favorite coffee stop on the way to work. Usually, they're parked in Cardiff on the coast. They roast their own beans and it's super good. The guys that work the truck are also super nice. Sometimes they even have free donuts! read more
