Lofty Coffee Company

Really tasty coffee that is crafted with careful consideration of the art of coffee making. Though this place is silly expensive!!!

This hilltop location is much better than their other place on the corner down the street, where you’ll get trampled with bougie strollers and won’t be able to find a seat amongst the mothers.

The kaffee is excellent. The rustic atmosphere brings a sense of homeyness without doubling down to become too rustic. Sadly the popularity of this shop makes it ideal for socializing but an utter pain to even attempt studying while you enjoy a nice cup of kaffee.

Small neighborhood coffee/restaurant. Went there early Sunday morning of my birthday weekend. Found ourselves waiting for a good 30 minutes for two cups of coffee. Got a couple of pastries too. Hit with a $23.50 bill. Didn't see that coming. Their coffee was nothing special, to me it was bitter. And so was the cost.

Always busy, but moves fast and worth the wait. The salted carmel latte was just a perfect blend, not too bitter and not too sweet.

They have a slow drip nitro type coffee I had in the past and was very impressed (I don't remember the exact name)

Seating can be a struggle. Food is actually REALLY good for simple breakfast stuff, it is all locally sourced.

Cool location, latte was super bland though.

Very nice place to go. Pretty unique in the area. The closet one which also sells high end freshly roasted coffee beans is Revolution Roastery in Oceanside. Their freshly roasted coffee is delicious. My favorite drink is turkish latte.

I love this place! quality ingredients and great service always! And they have Iced London Fog which is hard to find in SoCal ❤️ The location is nice; not directly in the middle of the Encinitas chaos LOL! They have a good amount of tables outside which is where I love to sit usually . The inside is very simple, chic & modern and always very clean. Their drinks have a very refreshing and unique spin but is very creative and enjoyable. ❤️

Great customer service and good food and coffee. Reduced to four stars because options are VERY limited...four flavored espresso drinks to choose from. :-( but nice atmosphere and a good pick for to support local, or to get gluten free.

Our go-to spot for coffee on a Sunday afternoon.

Highlights:

decaf salted caramel latte with almond milk. I don't usually like sweet drinks but I'll drink a gallon of this stuff.

Cold brew (with growlers). Well priced and we always have it in our fridge.

Food is good, but we don't get it very often. We usually just get a drink and head to the beach for a walk.

One of our local favorite coffee shops!!
