The bowls are made with fresh ingredients, and you can taste the difference in the fruit and toppings. Everything is very fresh. The menu has a nice variety, a classic acai bowl or something a little different, and it's easy to customize to your liking. Being able to add things like almond butter, cacao nibs, or extra fruit makes it easy to customize for anyone It's a great spot when you want something that feels both light and filling; especially during our summer months. Service has always been polite and efficient, even when they're busy. I usually order ahead on their website to avoid waiting and people.

One of the best Acai bowls I've had in San Diego!…read more The size of the bowl is super generous and they load it up. I feel like Acai bowls are getting outrageously expensive and every topping is an extra dollar, but at the place I feel the bowl is really worth it. Loveddd their most popular bowls there with the Nutella and peanut butter drizzle. There's seats inside and outside. Perfect place for a sweet snack!

I almost always order the Nirvana burrito and it never disappoints, it's become my favorite. I've also tried their tofu breakfast burrito and veggie burger, and both were just as good, flavorful, satisfying, and still light. One thing I really appreciate is that they have great options for everyone. I'm vegetarian but my husband isn't, and we both find plenty we love here. I've even brought my parents a few times and it's always a hit. The space has plenty of seating and there's usually good parking nearby, which makes it an easy, relaxed stop. The staff are friendly and the food typically comes out pretty quickly too. Overall, just a consistently great spot with healthy, delicious options. I always enjoy coming here.

This was my first visit to the Carlsbad Everbowl location. I've visited a few different ones…read morethroughout San Diego County in the past, so I'm familiar with the selection of bowls and smoothies. Generally, the quality is pretty consistent across most of the locations. Why three stars for this one? I ordered a large Evergreen smoothie. I was given a poorly blended smoothie, with visible fruit chunks and spinach flakes, that was impossible to sip through the straw. My basic blender can do a better job (I make green smoothies regularly). Please train your staff to properly blend ingredients. The taste was still great, but the consistency and texture were terrible.

As someone who's incredibly intentional…read moreabout what I eat, it's almost impossible to find a place that checks all my boxes, but this one does. I'm gluten free, dairy free, only eat organic, and avoid seed oils, and I can eat here with complete confidence. The food is absolutely phenomenal, and I always leave feeling energized instead of weighed down. The staff is consistently kind, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help, which makes the experience even better. And can we talk about the pastry case? Everything is gluten free, and it takes every ounce of self control not to walk out with one of everything. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. Whether you have food allergies, care about high quality ingredients, or just want an incredible meal, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it.

AN EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER Lofty Coffee is perched on a hill…read moreat the edge of Encinitas, overlooking Highway 101 as it winds past sweeping views of the Pacific on its way toward Del Mar and Torrey Pines. SLOW DOWN AND BREATHE It's the kind of place that naturally slows you down--an easy morning or afternoon refuge where expertly brewed coffee, refreshing drinks, and thoughtfully made treats invite you to linger. FEED YOUR SWEET TOOTH The glass case greets you like a siren song, filled with organic and indulgent pastries whose aromas are as irresistible as the sandy beach stretching just across the street. FUEL YOUR BODY And it's not all sweets. Lofty also serves hearty, satisfying food that actually fills you up and delivers on flavor for more discerning tastes. FEEL THE COASTAL VIBE You'll find yourself among locals and travelers alike--many of whom wish they lived here, in the kind of coastal town that Lofty helps make feel like home. And, Parking and service are above average for the area.

Lofty Coffee is a spot I've been to multiple times now…read more Highlight The coffee is genuinely fantastic especially their beans. You can taste the quality in every cup, and the drinks overall are excellent. That said, my Red light it's really expensive for most people, so it feels more like a treat than an everyday stop. The one area they could improve is the service. The staff sometimes feel a bit rushed and not super helpful, especially if you're new or asking questions about their drinks. They don't always take the time to explain things. To be honest it's more like they just want to take your order and move on to the next customer. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5. Great drinks and quality beans make it worth visiting, but the higher prices and inconsistent service keep it from being a regular favorite for me. If you love good coffee and don't mind paying a premium with okay service, it's still worth checking out.
