Manzanita Roasting Company and Coffee House

Great coffee and snacks. Love the drive up spot.

My favorite coffee shop in Escondido! The brown butter latte is delishh 🤤🥰

Great tasting coffee reasonably priced. Great vibe! Definitely will come back again

Coffee and food was delicious!!
Pesto sandwich was so good!

Great spot for third wave / specialty coffee. We had two pourovers, a Brazilian and a Kenyan, both were tasty. I bought a bag of the Kenyan Peaberry ($22) to take home. One of the few places around that have a Geisha available. This place is on the corner, and they had large doors opened on both sides of the shop, creating an airy and open space. This was a pleasant environment, and it certainly felt nicer than the anti-mask establishment up the street, The Koffie.

Refreshing decor, friendly staff and tasty breakfast sandwiches. Love the coffee too! We tried the cold brew and lavender latte both were superb. Very fun atmosphere being in downtown Escondido.

Very cool space to hang out in and everyone was so friendly. Plus, the drinks are delicious and well-crafted. I will definitely be back!

I really enjoyed the chicken curry hand pie. Also, I liked the flavor of their cold brew. If I'm ever in this area again, I would go.

Slowest service, coffee did not taste good. Baristas were super slow and were mostly just talking to each other rather than focusing on customers. Will not come here again.

Not following health and safety guidelines. Go to kettle its right up the road and they follow best practices.

(Edit to respond to the owner comment below. Here is a detailed descriptions of precisely what I saw, why its wrong, and a reasonable we would see if the company was committed to safety) I generally don't give much leeway to safety or health violations that I see; as normally the customer facing side of any business is the most polished.

There was a customer inside, at the entrance way table as seen on the google maps photo. This customer on her laptop who looked to have work/papers out. She wasn't wearing a mask and just generally appeared to be doing the normal-times coffee shop lingering.

I would consider this worse then the unfortunately common flouting of rules we see careless customers do by an taking a quick drink but hanging out for what appeared to be an extended period of time. There was clearly no effort being put in to keep others safe.

Appropriate action by the store would have been. Removing seating so no customers would sit there. This would be ideal because then there is no requirement for negative customer interaction; its unfortunate that its upon staff to keep careless customers in order. OR There happens to be a park across the street. Inviting the customer to enjoy her drink and work there.

It is possible to reduce risk and still serve coffee/food to the community. Others in area are doing it. Is it unfortunate that as a country we didn't get this under control. But I won't add risk to myself by going in and I wrote the review because I don't wish to reward companies when alternatives are available.
