I had a great experience at Lofty Coffee in Carlsbad, CA. The staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient, making the whole visit easy and enjoyable. The location is fantastic, with both cozy indoor seating and a great outdoor patio to enjoy the Carlsbad weather.
I ordered the chipotle chicken wrap and was genuinely impressedâperfectly spicy, flavorful, and fresh. This spot is a must-visit if youâre looking for great coffee and food in Carlsbad. Whether youâre meeting friends, working remotely, or just grabbing a quick bite, Lofty Coffee hits the mark.

We stopped by Lofty Coffee this morning because the Turkish latte on the menu sounded interesting, and after trying their drinks and food I am very surprised that they donât have a 5 star rating. This coffee place is for you if you love flavorful coffee that has very balanced flavors of herb/spices and isnât super sweet and syrupy. My husband got the seasonal peppermint latte and I got the Turkish latte and both were amazing.
Their made in-house pastries are also DELICIOUS! The matcha doughnut, which was topped with crushed pistachios and dried rose petals, is a must try! We also enjoyed their orange-cranberry rosemary scone so much that we grabbed an extra to go after we devoured the first one. You really canât beat freshly made pastries and flavorful coffee.

We got the drinks to go but decided to stay since they have a nice seating area in front. I ordered the Aztec Mocha - so good and yes, spicy. Also ordered the Black Lavender ice tea... it comes unsweetened, just fyi.

Iâve lived in Carlsbad all my life and lofty coffee is just the bottom of the barrel. I paid $29 for a SMALL coffee and a sandwich. It was so expensive that I honestly thought I was mischarged. But I decided to hope for the best and hope the quality was reflective of the priceâŠâŠ The coffee was supposed to be lavender but honestly had no taste, couldâve just been a vanilla latte I make at home. Not a craft coffee at all :( The tater tots were good but I barely even finished the sandwich, it was below average. Thereâs so many other great spots around Carlsbad, so donât stop here unless you want to break the bank. The owners replies to certain reviews, is rude and argumentative. Take some constructive criticism and make your business better, Lofty Coffee.

This is my favorite coffee spot in Carlsbad. Usually not over crowded, coffee is delicious. Salted Caramel latte is a solid choice. Locally roasted. Free 90 min parking in the back. Favorite coffee currently
Brooks, the GM is amazing. Baristas are hit or miss. The last few hires have horrible attitudes. Idk why they work in service. But the coffee is reasonably good. The food is great and the manager genuinely does a great job. Just need to cycle a few of these bad attitudes out and tighten up training regarding milk temp and texture.
I used to go here all the time since 2013. Over the years the service has gone down and the food too. The baked goods are still what they used to be which is nice. Recently I ordered a pour over which cost $9 which was quite small. In addition, when I poured it out of the newer carafe it leaked all over. I told the baristas how it seemed odd for a $9 pour over that the device they use leaks everywhere. The response was âsorry, thanks for letting us know.â It came off as if they didnât care. In truth, Lofty seems to have become another snooty SoCal coffee shop and no longer a locals spot who genuinely cares about its customers. At least that is how it has seemed the last two years I stop in. I wonât be coming back again.

I have to start the review by saying, such a fantastic coffee. We were so pleased to find this little corner of joy đ
The pastry is fresh and with a vast selection of different/unique plates to taste from.
Another highlight was the service, as the barista was extremely thoughtful in recommending what to try. Will definitely come back for more coffee.
One thing to note, it can be hard to find parking.
The coffee here is so delicious, we got the cloudy with a chance of cold brew and a cortado with the single origin and both were amazing. They have something for everyone.

i ordered iced oatmilk latte with vanilla syrup per usual in every cafe i visit. Their coffee i ordered here tasted very sour, good thing the staff was kind enough to redo my order but it still tasted sour.. i ended up ordering a different kind of drink. Overall, sub par coffee for the price but great staff service.
Great local spot to do work. I ordered a dirty chai and some avocado toast. Seating is limited though.
Cold poached eggs, cold sausage, awful. Bad service. 1-10 rating 0.
