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.

I ordered a 12oz hot left coast latte (which has caramel) and substituted oat milk. This latte was excellent and very much enjoyed it. I also ordered a vegan jalapeño everything galette. Initially, I thought it was a bialy and was really hoping it was one but a galette worked also. It was tasty but was just a tad underwarmed and needed maybe one more minute in the toaster. They have clean bathrooms here too, if you need to use the loo. They have nice seating on their porch like area and also there is a courtyard too right out front facing a fountain. A great place to grab a cup of joe and a snack! They also sent me a $5 off coupon after I visited, so I'll definitely come back for sure! Great spot in Encinitas, very much enjoyed my Sunday morning here!

I ordered a vanilla iced latte and they nailed it -- the vanilla flavor was balanced really well with the espresso and wasn't overly sweet. The coffee itself tasted smooth and fresh.

Stopped by yesterday to try this coffee shop and overall had a great experience. One thing I really…read moreappreciate is that their flavors are made in-house, which always makes drinks taste more unique and less artificial. I ordered a honey cinnamon latte with half sweetness and it was really good. The flavor balance was great and not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like my coffee. I also picked up an iced vanilla latte, and that one was just as good. When I was ordering, the person taking my order didn't seem very interested in giving recommendations when I asked, but the barista who made the drinks was very nice and the coffee itself was excellent, which made up for it. There's some construction going on in the area right now, but I was still able to find parking without too much trouble. The food also looked really good, though I only tried the drinks this time. There is ample seating and bathrooms for customers in the back. Overall, great coffee and I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu.

It was strong and that horchata cold foam gave it the perfect cinnamon sweetness I was looking for. I also got the mocha. They grind up the chocolate they get from Mexico and use it to make this authentic mocha. I also got to taste a little of their Vietnamese coffee. It didn't taste like your typical viet coffee. It tasted more like a creamy coffee. It's pretty good! This is a cute little kiosk located in a gas station parking lot. The barista Jesse was the sweetest!

As I approached the entrance, I…read moregot a little nervous as there was a huge line, but it turned out to be Taco StandBell, and I let out a sigh of relief. I have no doubt that this cozy spot is crowded AF on the weekends though. They have outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade. Most of the shaded tables we're taken so I opted to sit inside. You order at the counter and coffee & water are self service. After looking at the menu I decided on the corned beef hash and my friend asked me to order her kid a grilled cheese sandwich so she wouldn't have to wait to eat since it was a long drive for them. The hash was good. I should have asked them to make it a bit crispier though as is it has a lot of flavor and I saw some celery in there. Happy to eat more fiber I asked for my eggs to be medium over and they were cooked as asked. Food came out in a reasonable time and overall experience was good.
