While I waited for my order, I went next-door to See's candy. I was craving fudge. I returned about 2 to 3 minutes after my order and my order was ready. The service was great... It was fast and the lady was really friendly. Inside it's very dark & moody vibes, still good natural light where you can work and study from. I just wish they brought back the Turon crème brûlée latte.

Went here on a Friday morning at 10am. Out of 7 drinks I wanted to try, they were out of all but…read moreone of the drinks. The overall experience (staff, variety/availability, drink quality) was incredibly disappointing because I hear great things about this place. There were quite a bit of people in there, so I'm sure it's great at times. Settling for the Vietnamese Iced Coffee as 1 of our 2 drinks, sadly it was mostly ice. The drink was done in a few sips. It felt like the cup was filled with ice and then put the coffee in. Don't get me wrong, the drink was good and the coffee was strong. The other drink was the Creme Brulee Latte. If you like the sugar un-bruleed, this is the drink for you. I saw the top was torched for a few seconds, but the drink was still in the tiny sugar crystals. The coffee part is also nice and strong, though the drink is not as sweet as it sounds. Overall, lack-luster and expensive for the $7.60 - Large.

I have been coming to this shopping plaza for over a decade but just discovered this place! I was…read moresurprised by how busy it was on a Thursday around noon. The team was super friendly, personable, patient with our questions, and accommodating of our customization requests. We ordered iced hojicha tea lattes. I got it with oat milk, my spouse got it with half and half. I think it is pretty rare for non-Asian places to have hojicha! It was good! We want to come back and try other items. You stand in line to order at a counter but I think you can also order online. I love how there is an option to order "for here". We got a # to take to our seat and they delivered our drinks to the table directly. And in glass (for cold drinks)! No plastic! Huge differentiator! There was seating inside and outside. Inside felt bustling and jovial. Outside felt a bit more relaxed and less loud. The tables are pretty close together but still nice to have casual conversation. I loved sitting outside! It was relatively shaded and warm. This is a gem! We look forward to returning soon.

This location is right in the center of so much Solana Beach activity offering plenty to do and see around this cafe that makes it an even better stop. Really easy to order and although the line may look long, they are usually quite fast. Worth the wait too! I recently had their cherry bomb latte and my husband had their vanilla latte. His vanilla latte was top tier but I absolutely love the cherry bomb latte. Cherry and coffee go together much better than expected. Their butter croissant was heaven. Just the fluffiest layers and delicious!

This would have been an average San Diego coffee shop experience for me, except for the fact that I absolutely LOVED the cherry bomb! It's a cherry mocha and essentially a perfect drink for me. Back in 2019, Starbucks had a seasonal cherry mocha for Valentine's Day that I was obsessed with. Apparently I was the only one, because they haven't brought it back since. Cherry mochas are hard to come by, and I haven't really encountered another one. This one was delicious! The espresso was bold, the milk perfectly creamy, and the overall taste not too sweet (unlike Starbucks'). Wow!! I can already tell this will be a drink I daydream about. Unfortunately it was $7.50, which will prevent me from indulging very regularly. The rest of the menu is pricey too, with avocado toasts nearly reaching $20. (I may be a millennial, but I can certainly understand the negative stereotype when I see coffee shop prices like these.) Besides pricing, the other downside of this place is the limited seating. There were only 4 small outdoor tables, so unless you're with just one other person and you arrive before 10am, I'd suggest grabbing your coffee to go and taking a walk. My friend and I sat down, since there were open tables when we arrived. She enjoyed her iced honey cinnamon latte. If you love a cherry mocha or are looking for coffee in the design district, definitely come through!

Besides the high pricing in the drinks that comes along with every slight adjustment or variation,…read morethe drinks tastes good and I like that the regular is 2 shots of espresso and the large jumps up to 4 so you can take away shots but don't have to pay more for adding them if you were to get a large. After you order, there's a few tables to sit and the parking is limited to an hour, the coffee has tasted good though

Tucked into the quiet charm of Rancho Santa Fe, this little coffee spot feels like it was made for…read moreslow mornings and easy afternoons. The setup is simple -- white tile, wood accents, a few outdoor tables under umbrellas -- but it's exactly the kind of vibe that makes you want to linger with a good cup in hand. I went with a caramel latte and a breakfast burrito, and honestly, the flavors delivered. The latte was smooth, balanced, and just sweet enough -- no sugar bomb here, just that nice caramel note that rounds it out. The burrito came out warm and hearty, filled generously and perfect alongside the coffee. My only pause? At $18 for both, it leans pricey, especially given the casual setting. But in a place like Rancho Santa Fe, you kind of expect that. What I loved most was the energy -- the barista was cool, service felt unhurried, and the outdoor patio let me just sit back and soak in the quiet. Sometimes that's worth the extra few bucks. Final take: for quality, setting, and the kind of morning reset I'd come back for. Rancho Roasters isn't about rushing in and out -- it's about slowing down, sipping good coffee, and enjoying the moment.
