Lofty Coffee Company

It must be something amazing if East County residents working in the North detour specifically to Encinitas for an Aztec Mocha or Turkish Latte. You have a wonderful place. Good treats. Hope to actually sit for a spell and enjoy them there, sometime in 2021!

OK coffee, bad place for working:
be ready for the sloppy WiFi, code protected restrooms, tiny water drip in the bathroom, no ac sockets. Feels like you are not welcome here.

I went here after a recommendation by a local. I got the Aztec with coconut milk. It was the best coffee I've ever had. I'm more of a tea drinker, but figured I would try it out. Very friendly staff and fast service. I also picked up the vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. It was very filling and lasted me throughout the day working at the library. I will be back and looking forward to the location opening in Solana Beach.

Outdoor seating and bike friendly! They have some cool art and some great coffee. The food menu seems good but not for the picky eater.

We ordered two pour-overs; the Kenya and the Ethopia. They were both excellent and my husband and I couldn't decide which we liked better. They also have a gorgeous cold-brew system.

My sister-in-law ordered their salted caramel latte and quite enjoyed it.

My husband was pleased that you could enter at the front and order and exit through the back once you had your drink. That way you didn't have to navigate the line on your way out.

We'll likely come back to try their breakfast. Seeing the plates of avocado toast and eggs going past us was mouthwatering.

Staff was talking to friends and not paying attention to online orders, I let the girl know at the bar that I had an online order she said it is almost ready. I waited for my food for 15min past the pick up time and finally asked another girl where my order was? She went to the back, then came back out to find my food was just sitting on the counter for god knows how long. Not impressed.

Going to Pete's coffee next time.

Loved the hummus avocado toast BUT ordered it again and only received half the order. When I called, they told me I ordered gluten free bread, NEVER! LOL
So, they said someone made a mistake. The mistake is paying $10 for ONE piece of toast!!!!

Great coffee and great baristas! If you have any questions about coffee or roasting, everyone is more than happy to help. Of the different locations, this has got to be my favorite.

With plenty of open air seating to boot, it's hard to go wrong with Lofty if you're in the area.

One of the best coffee I ever had. I found the place on an accident on my way from LA to San Diego. Now it is my must stop spot on that trip. I recommend the 'Salted Caramel Latte', but even just an espresso it just tastes rich and right.

Very busy spot, and definitely more expensive than average with $5-6 coffees. But they have some outdoor seating and their coffee is also better than average. And they use unsweetened almond milk. :) Overall a good option!
