This was my first time at Coffee Dose and I am so glad the line didn't scare us away! It moved relatively quickly, but a worker was kind enough to guide us to empty booth seats so we could order from there instead of at the register. The inside was colorful and clean. It wasn't too loud and felt very comfortable. I had a Matcha Bananarama with oat milk and my cousin had a Matcha Bananarama with whole milk and we enjoyed it so much that we already want to go back. We shared the Chi Chi Burrito, which was amazing! read more

Tried to come in around the opening and it was packed. So left and came back last Sunday. My husband and I sat at the counter and had a great server who we chatted with (turns out we are both from OC). Had great coffee and food. Did not disappoint (and my hubby is a mocha/coffee snob - he loved it). Food was different and really good. Especially the Latkes. Divine! Yum. Yum! read more

Coffee Dose - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

Coffee Dose has the perfect amount of good food and slightly inappropriate humor! The specialty lattes are delicious; I can't wait to go back and try the others! The restaurant is set up like a classic '50s diner but with cheeky sayings (like anti-bitch serum on the coffee cup label!) Easy parking in the lot they share with other businesses. Highly recommend for breakfast with your friends! read more

Great shop, fun decor and theme, and love the vibe. We went one Saturday afternoon and the restaurant was pretty quiet. Grabbed a few drinks and a slice of banana bread to go. I ordered a lemonade which was refreshing and not overly sweet while the hubby had a Goldie latte. The banana bread was hefty and decent. Service was fine but I don't expect much these days and am stoked when I don't have to get the convo going. The merch is fun from keychains, coffee cups, glasses, and coffee beans. I plan on returning to order pancakes and a burger. read more

Such a fun and cute breakfast experience! We came at 8:30am on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy yet. My boyfriend said the pancakes may have been the best he's ever eaten!! I don't know if I would go that far, but they were certainly fluffy and memorable. A little tip if you're with someone else who also wants pancakes - get the double stack and ask for an extra plate to split! It's nearly $10 cheaper than if you get two singles. Drinks were tasty and sweet. We also got sides of hashbrowns and bacon - the bacon was perfectly crunchy but the hashbrowns were pretty average. The decor alone is reason enough to come in, and the whole staff were so kind and attentive! read more

I have been wanting to check out Coffee Dose in Orange County so when they opened up a location Encinitas I definitely had to check them out. For the Fourth of July weekend it wasn't too busy and the location is pretty close to the free way and there is plenty of parking. If you're only wanting to get a drink and leave the food runners had mentioned their app, which I took plenty of advantage of. I was a basic bitch, so I got an iced matcha latte with sweet cream topper, it was delicious but next time I definitely want to get the Valley Girl that has a blueberry marshmallow syrup and that sounds so good to me. I ended up staying in line because I wanted to get a key chain, next time I definitely getting myself the Anti-Bitch serum glass, it's so cute. The food also looks delicious and they do have indoor and outdoor seating! read more

I was curious to find out what the hype was all about. I heard it originated in Orange County and had multiple locations. So when I wanted my coffee dose, I thought this place would be fitting since it just opened. The moment I walked into this diner-like coffee shop, I had an open mind since I looove anything brunchy and anything girly. I ignored the negative connotations seen in the decor and menu...keeping in mind nowadays the usage is oddly perceived as positive. Anywho, I'm a foodie let me focus on my brunch experience. I personally looove the color scheme and the diner set-up of course. The shop was sooo cuuute-n-cleeean. I felt welcomed in this super cool environment. The staff was super duper friendly and service was efficient which are very important to me. Fast forward, I enjoyed my latte and meal with a smile. Coffee Dose delivered in a deeelightful way :-) read more

I was super stoked to here that Coffee Dose was opening up a location in Encintias! Can you please open a location in Escondido? Come early because the line was out the door. They do have someone combing through the line for just coffee orders. They have seating inside & out, & I highly recommend snagging a seat inside because the vibes are fun! Colorful, diner. Their coffee/matcha is insanely good! Bananarama: Coffee. Delicious & flavorful. The Valley Girl: Matcha. Omg, this is the drink to order, sweet & amazing! Solo Disco: Fluffy pancake, I love the maple-miso honey butter & lemon zest. Dose Delux: Hard pass. This lacked flavor. read more

This place is a cute, aesthetic coffee shop! I went in the late morning, and although it was busy, the line moved pretty quickly. You order first, grab a number, and then find a seat. I ordered the Bananarama Iced Espresso Latte, which is made with their house-made banana sweet cream, and it was so good. The banana flavor really comes through without being overpowering, making it a fun and delicious twist on a latte. For food, my friend and I shared the Chi Chi Burrito, Double Disco Pancakes, and a hash brown. The portions are definitely shareable, which was perfect for trying a few different items. The Chi Chi Burrito had everything you'd want in a breakfast burrito, and the Double Disco Pancakes were incredibly fluffy and delicious. The only thing that fell short for me was the hash brown it lacked flavor and wasn't as crispy as I was expecting. The staff were friendly, and I appreciated that they checked on us throughout our meal. read more

So we have been a few times and must say they most likely have one of the best avocado toast around. It's has a mix of ingredients that you can taste the various ingredients providing a depth of flavor not like others. Have also had the salmon bagel and each time the food, service and experience has been great. The environment can be enjoyable outside or inside. So would recommend this if you want a different experience give them a try read more

I was pretty disheartened when I saw the long line front, but was pleasantly surprised how quickly the line was going. You order at the front, they give you a number, and you find a table. I was surprised how easily it was for us to get a table. Indoors was a cute vibe, but definitely loud. Outdoors was nicer, but wish they had more umbrellas to protect from the sun. I would 100% recommend the dishes we ordered. We got the latkes, hass-if, and the sir psycho sexy. Especially with the sir psycho sexy steak sandwich, the steak was well cooked at medium and super flavorful and thick cut. I will definitely come back and try everything else!!! read more

Wanted to see what the hype was all about so came here at 2 pm on a Tuesday. No line so that's a place. The vibe is very very cute so that's number 1. Not too many seats inside so take that into account in the hot weather. Plenty of seating outside. We ordered bananaramas with espresso and some baked goods. The drinks were delicious and I will definitely be back for that. The pastries were hard and cold. I had to ask to warm it up and even then, not great. So don't come here for the baked goods. We didn't have time to try the food off the menu but will try that next time. Overall cute vibe and nice place to come for a coffee date. read more

I've been to Coffee Dose once in OC, so I was SO happy to see this spot migrate to San Diego! I went at 8AM and right after, the line started building up - come by early if you have the time to spare! We ordered: Bananarama - brown sugar latte with banana sweet cream The Valley Girl - latte with blueberry marshmallow syrup & blue marshmallow cream Basic Hazelnut Latte The drinks are really sweet if that's what you're into! Half sweet was perfect for me. The girl taking our order was so sweet, and love the feminine diner vibe! I need to come back and try the food - especially the pancakes! read more

I came for the grand opening and boy was it crowded. It was later in the day so I can only imagine how busy it was when they opened in the AM. I waited for about 25 minutes. They had menus waiting so you could figure out what you wanted in advance. I wanted an affogato but I was informed they don't do them to go. I was disappointed, but I had to pivot quickly and went for the Goldie. It didn't take very long to come up. I'm not sure if I had the right drink. The color didn't indicate turmeric. It did not taste of tumeric at all, just cinnamon and a lot of sugar. Not my favorite. *Beware if you bring kids here it's very pink (which they may love) and everything is branded with the word b!tch (which you may not). I will come back to try the food and hopefully get my affogato, but I'll wait until it's been open a while read more

I have been so excited to finally have Coffee Dose in San Diego (even better in North County), that I had to go opening day! It was busy as expected but looked even better than imagined. I love that every location of Coffee Dose has their own look but still follows the branding as a whole. They also seemed to have more seating than some of their other locations which is a plus. I did go in towards end of day so the line was a breeze and I got my favorite matcha right away. The Mary Matcha was perfect! Their quality is top tier, and this new location is no different. Same goes for their delicious sugar cookie! Can't wait for my next brunch visit to try some of their specials for this location. If it's anything like their other locations I already know I'll be in for a treat. The chi chi burrito has been my go-to in the past as it is heaven! read more

I was here during the soft opening and everything was perfect. I returned on a Friday a week later and the line was 50 minutes long in the sun. They passed out menus to everyone and offered to bring a pup cup and water for our dogs which was very much appreciated. When we finally made it inside we ordered our drinks, a pastry and a birthday card. Because we had our dogs, once the order was placed I stepped outside with them and stood again in the sun. It would be nice if there were benches and more umbrellas for sun cover. I was there at least 15 minutes wondering why it was taking so long. Apparently, someone else with the same name took our drinks and then was complaining that it wasn't what she ordered. My daughter told the barista and she didn't believe her and wanted to see the receipt- I get it, but it was kind of rude the way she responded in an accusatory manner. I will return here as the location and parking is convenient . Maybe they just need to get the kinks out since they're so new. Also, the drinks are really good. And the quality of bean used is very good. read more

So excited that coffee dose has finally made their way here! We love their OC location and even more so the space and table availability at the Encinitas location. The menu offerings and collabs make it exciting. The lines are always long, but moves quickly. It gives you time to think about what you want to try. The owner was very active and hands on handing out menus and clearing tables. I am excited to try their cocktails when the permit is approved. The brunch menu all tasted delicious. We shared between 4 people and it left us comfortably full. A must try if you haven't had coffee dose! read more

Came here with the wifey and what a cool place. Sitting at the counter felt like a diner vibe for sure. The service was good but the food came out slow and it wasn't busy at all. But when the food did come out it was hot and fresh. Make sure to come early as it does get busy quick. Definitely a spot to come to if you want to feel the finer vibe. read more

How cute is this spot! Love the color and ambiance! I love the old diner vibe here! The service was so good. Everyone was so friendly even though it was so busy. The food was really good. The solo pancakes took a little longer but that's okay because it was probably one my favorite on the menu. The Bananarama coffee was tasty, it hit the spot. Definitely got my Saturday morning going. Thank you Coffee Dose for your hospitality and tarty coffee. I can't wait to come back and try something else on the menu. read more

Coffee Dose - Outside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Encinitas, California

Parking 5/5 -free plaza parking lot with many spots Service 5/5 -Friendly staff helped with direction to the bathroom that's outside of the restaurant. You order at the counter then take your number to any available seat and food will be delivered there, but you pick up your drinks at the bar when your name is called. For a newly opened BUSY restaurant, we did not wait long for our order and our food arrived hot and fresh. I think it really helped that they have a lot of staff to keep things flowing efficiently. Food 5/5 -Bananarama $8, brown sugar espresso latte with banana cream top, LOVED it. The banana cream top was not overwhelming at all but fragrant, subtle enough that you can keep taking sips and don't feel like you're drowning in sugar. Perfect dose of caffeine if you're not looking to feel jittery all day. I would love to try this again with their matcha option. -Thicky thicc $6, iced americano with vanilla cream, the vanilla cream is so yum and creamy and overall they just have really good quality espresso. It's deep and strong just like how I prefer it, get this if you want to get everything on your to-do list done in one day. -Devilish eggs $9, deviled eggs topped with crispy bacon bits, no notes on the taste except that it's definitely overpriced for 2 whole eggs. -Le omelette $16, decent portion size and had a nice balance with the side arugula salad, omelette is fresh and delicious, I was not crazy impressed but I would get it again. -Double disco $21, this is definitely something I would come here for alone. The pancakes are truly enormous, in the best way. Slightly crispy on the outside, and very soft fluffy HOT on the inside, syrupy and buttery pancake heaven. I would've preferred the syrup on the side because they are so big and I couldn't eat them fast enough before the bottom pancake gets completely soaked and soggy by the syrup, but that's only my personal preference. Overall this is the crowd pleaser for sure! Ambiance 5/5 -The retro decor is definitely the highlight here, everything is right aesthetically, cute cafe to catch up while having food and drinks. Seating available outside as well, no bathroom attached to the restaurant, it's a plaza bathroom around the corner, ask the staff for door code to access. read more

OBSESSED! Lived in OC and lived off of drinking coffee Dose almost daily best coffee place ever with the sweetest customer service ever and this new location is nothing different!! The ambiance is perfection the detail they put into everything is just chefs kiss!! Sweet employees! Great food and drink menu! If you're looking for a secret menu recommendation, ask for my self-proclaimed specialty: an iced green tea with vanilla bean and a splash of oat milk. Trust me--it tastes like heaven in a cup. In OC, it's become known at quite a few locations as the "Kayla Drink," and for good reason! :P read more

Coffee Dose -- honestly one of the cutest brunch spots I've been to lately The interior is super stylish and aesthetic -- the whole pink retro vibe is done so beautifully, and every corner looks amazing. The atmosphere is fun, cozy, and perfect for brunch or photos. I tried the Steak & Eggs and it was really good -- the steak was soft, juicy, and cooked perfectly. Also had the Uncle Nicky sandwich and it was insanely delicious. The ciabatta was super fresh, all the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and you can really tell they care about the food here. Great coffee, beautiful design, fresh food, and overall just a really cool vibe. Definitely a place I'd come back to . read more

Finally!!! A Coffee Dose close to home!! Went opening day and loved it! They were offering waters to the guest in line. Friendly staff at the counter taking orders. The music was just right and playing fun music. I got to meet the owner and she was awesome! So nice and outgoing. Fun little shopping area with coffee grounds/beans, keychains, cup and more to explore! Only thing I'd like to say is. Please think about offering free substitutions. Because I can't have regular milk and I had to pay due to my health issues for oat milk. read more

We met a friend here for lunch on a Friday, but we never actually ate here. The line was out the door and down the sidewalk when we arrived ... and moved less than 6' in 10 minutes. I checked inside with the cashier to make sure we were in the correct line. Sure enough, both take-out and waiting for tables were comingled in the same line. And Coffee Dose doesn't take reservations. Eventually, we gave up on the wait and enjoyed lunch elsewhere. read more

This was our second time coming to try this place. We didn't make it in the first time because the line was extremely long. It definitely lives up to its hype with just being an overall fun little diner vibe experience with all the fun decor. We tried a few different drinks and the coffee was really good. Also had the cloud pancakes which I know are kind of trending right now. I wasn't a fan but that probably has more to do with preference of a good old fashioned buttermilk pancake. Still glad I tried it and worth trying if you come here. Our pastries were very pretty and also delicious. Definitely a fun place to check out with that also has great coffee. read more

Finally got to check this spot out, and it didn't disappoint! I ordered the Bananarama which was really good (next time I'll add an extra shot though - which I think will make it perfect!), and the breakfast burrito (also really good). The place is super cute (as you can see in pics). Definitely loud inside when busy, but I went towards the later end of lunch (around 12:45pm), and it was perfect. No line, and the space cleared out from the lunch rush, so the noise left when the crowd did. Everyone working was nice and helpful. I will definitely be back :) read more

Decor and aesthetics were on point and the servers going around and checking on our tables were 5/5. Sadly the food and coffee weren't that great especially for the prices and the line wait. We also came with our stroller and our baby can't sit in a high chair yet so it was hard with first come first serve for tables when our group was for 5. The disco cakes (pancakes) were $21 and too salty. The two egg breakfast had overcooked eggs and dry bacon. Loved the "anti-bitch serum cups" but the coffee was a weird roast and they didn't steam the milk right.... Servers kept checking on us but they offered us water when we were almost done with our food and then kept asking us about boxes it felt like we were getting rushed away a bit. The highlight was the latkes (potato cakes) which were tasty and the burger had good carmelized onions on it). Indoor and patio seating and this spot is an order at the register then get a number for food for a table and drinks you need to pick up at the counter. The descriptions and decor were cute but sadly the food missed the mark for the prices. Parking in the shopping plaza is easy. read more

This place nails it on all things "basic b". Girl dinner: Caesar salad, fries and a Diet Coke ? Have I pretty much been a basic b my whole life and now there's a menu item to reflect that? Check. Kid friendly food options- My 4 year old can't quite read so I didn't need to explain the anti b serum. Even if she could read I don't care. She hears worst language at home. Love the laid back vibes here- order at the register and sit down. No need to get all dolled up to visit here. Brunch attire is very much your ALO 2 piece set or vuori ensemble. I was about to give this place a 4/5 rating but you know what was the cherry on the top? The cashier saying : "thank you, beautiful!". Took my coffee dose to go with my head held high. Overall, this place is super basic. Down to the Taylor Swift playlist and instagrammable trends- Will I be returning ? Abso-f-ing-lutely. Tip: Complete your basic b full tour with a trip to Home Goods on the way back. It's 1.9 miles from here. You're welcome read more

Ordinarily, a place like this with all its Instagram flair would probably get fewer stars from me, but they did a couple of things that I think really earned them the extra couple of stars. Firstly, considering how busy they are, it seems like they are running the establishment really well. The service has all been nice. I've been here twice and have actually had someone pull me out of the line because we intended to eat there so they said we could have a spot at the bar. Pretty cool service-wise. I think they also need some points for the fact that they are not priced too crazy for the area. Food comes out quickly. I had the bagel (not pictured), pancakes, latkes, and blueberry foam coffee. I have to say that the sweet menu items here are extremely sweet. My go to order is an iced mocha, so I love sweet coffee, but this place totally gave me a sugar crash. The sweetness is not the only reason I am docking one star. I have to echo the comments that others have made here that the language used throughout the menu/store, is sort of unnecessary and not professional. The claim by the owners of "reclaiming" the language doesn't quite wash with me and I think considering where we are, Rancho Santa Fe/Encinitas, rather than say, Hillcrest, demands something a little bit more thoughtful from the owners. But I understand that there is a brand of rebelliousness they are trying to channel here. I just think it's better if we all speak better to one another rather than normalize it. But overall, definitely a worthwhile place to come and eat. I would like it to come back especially when the hype dies down. I'm not big into lines or being seen at a specific place. But honestly the food is solid here. read more

Coffee Dose in Encinitas absolutely deserves all five stars. The Chi Chi burrito was incredible--packed with flavor and surprisingly satisfying. Their cold brew is also top‑tier: smooth, bold, and exactly what I needed. Even with a packed late‑lunch crowd, the staff kept everything moving with total grace. Friendly, efficient, and clearly pros at handling the rush. It has a very cool retro look to the decor and they have outside seating as well. Can't wait to come back! read more
