Lofty Coffee La Costa

Service, coffee and Encinitas egg plate were all fabbo.

Great customer service! Will definitely be back

Super pretty and clean space. Staff were friendly as well. The coffee/tea were not very good though. I love matchas (traditional/unsweetened) and this was very unpleasant. I think it may have been the house almond milk but it tasted too grassy like hay which overpowered any of the matcha. I was bummed to pay $7 for a drink I couldn’t not finish. The cold brew drink my husband got was $9 which just seems like a lot for nothing spectacular.

It was amazing breakfast and coffee. Highly recommend this place

There are a bunch of Lofty Coffees. I have now been to 3 of them. All have different atmosphere but similar food.

This is a delightful coffee shop, where I enjoyed a morning date with my wife. We only drank the house coffee, but the coffee hit the spot. To add to the atmosphere, Lofty Coffee played music (contemporary soft rock/ jazz). The service was kind and thoughtful, but the crew was busy. Several customers had their laptops, and they appeared to appreciate the environment. Lofty Coffee has an interesting pledge (please see photo).

Yes, I would take my wife back to Lofty Coffee for another coffee date.

The ambiance and coffee is always EXCELLENT! The service varies, but I can kind of understand because some of the customers are plain rude… I’ve had a few wrong drinks and the women who made them seemed frustrated that I asked them to be adjusted. But that was only a few times. The majority of the time, all is well and all is delicious. ?

One of the worst breakfasts I ever had for $16.50. I attempted to prepare it myself, but it was a disaster and my hands were messy afterwards. The tater tots were good but without ketchup it was pointless. The bread crust was rock hard so I cut it off but then the bread was too floppy to hold the sandwich up so I had to cut it into bits to eat. I would happily pay $6 for this, even knowing I have to spend the time building it, so I feel ripped off $10.50. The coffee is good, but VERY expensive. I do recommend this place for a coffee if you're stuck near one and have a lot of cash to spare, but if you care about value for money, don't bother. I should have gone to Denny's where they prepare the food for you.

Coffee and food were fine. Açaí bowl is a highlight. I do think it’s weird to post your ethos on the wall and be all about community and everyone but then locking the restroom.
