This is one of the few places I've found in the US that makes a flat white, and it was delicious! I also got the broccoli cheddar quiche, which was so tasty. This cafe is located in a church, so there was summer camp traffic, and know there is Christian imagery and books for sale, which was expected. Cute little cafe, great service, kind people. 5 stars!

What I call a Real Locals Breakfast Cafe. They have lunch. Good people, good food, not fancy with good vibes.

I love the story caffe! Scott and Ernie make fantastic drinks, and great conversation!

Really cute cafe with good coffee. Barista was really sweet. Only downside is you have to hear a bunch of old guys loudly pontificating in their little circles of men about religion (while looking around to make sure others are listening to them). It's part of a church campus. Bring noise-cancelling headphones.

Such a nice home feel

Very kind staff here. Great place to hang out and work or just relax and read a book. Lots of very comfy seating options. The decor is warm and welcoming. There is a beautiful upstairs patio with ocean and sunset views. Lots of free parking too!

This morning my wife and I enjoyed another coffee date at The Story Caffe. The warm ambience of this cafe made for a relaxing moment. Story Caffe was appropriately decorated for the holidays. I appreciated sipping a cup of bold house coffee. A few well behaved toddlers were making crumbs while eating a muffin, which added a sense of peace. The Caffe is open to the Christian faith, which was restful. This seems to be a cozy place to study and reflect, especially while listening to soft jazz music playing in the background. They even sell books by various authors to promote contemplation. It will take a moment to drive to the Caffe, so you may want to schedule time for your visit. Finally, the Caffe is closed on Friday and Saturday.

great looking coffee shop inside a church area. but that's about it. the people working inside doesn't even smile at you. coffee was ok but the avocado toast was outright disgusting. The worst I have eaten in may be my entire life. dont get food from here.

Such a great place to meet friends. Great coffee and friendly service.
This is a great hidden gem in Carlsbad. I like to try out working from different coffee shops and this may be my favorite in Carlsbad yet. Because it is located in a church, I was hesitant to come here as religion is not exactly my thing but the environment was not overtly religious and I didn't feel uncomfortable or like there was an effort to subtly convert anyone.The whole property is stunning and the atmosphere here is great, very thorough and friendly staff and it was pretty quiet and not crowded when I went. Good selection of non coffee drinks for us non coffee drinkers which was a huge plus. The turmeric drink was excellent, and they have pea protein milk which most coffee shops do not have.
Dietary restrictions: Good milk options that are hard to find elsewhere (pea protein) for those of us who don't do dairy or nut milks. Good selection of non coffee drinks for those of us who don't drink coffee. I didn't try the food or look into the options there

There aren't many choices for breakfast, but it's really delicious. The price is not expensive. The service is also very considerate.
