“The epitome of classic Encinitas! The food hits the spot every time—especially if you love a good diner meal. The staff are long-term, friendly, and familiar (I’ve enjoyed this place for 11 years and counting). I always love the art, decorations and environment. Encinitas Cafe is a regular spot for my family! I hope it never changes 🥰“
“Delicious healthy food. Coffee is amazing. Shelley’s homemade granola with cinnamon bark essential oil is to die for. The staff is always friendly and attentive. They always ask me how I liked everything. They really care about their customers!“

“I love this place and the sweet people who work here! My favorite meal is the trifecta of a basil chicken wrap, naked salad, and the best carrot ginger soup ever! It’s not on the regular menu anymore, but can be requested as it’s still in their computer listing. The new back grass patio dining area beneath giant old pines is a hidden treasure that opened during CoVid.“

“April Cardenas is the skill behind the scenes/in the kitchen. 100% respect to her commitment to this long standing little gem of Leucadia. The personal touch she infuses in everything she does cannot be quantified in dollars nor words. And the beautiful women at the counter are professional and nice.“

“I appreciate having a local cafe where I can eat almost everything! They use no seed oils; it's 100% GF and have many dairy free options. They use homemade almond milk without the additives. I can enjoy a latte, a baked good like their pumpkin cupcake which is delicious, and they have amazing vegan bacon on their Sammy sandwich.“

“Delicious scratch-made food! I had the breakfast special and the plate was full to the brim of yummy eggs, breakfast potatoes with onions & bacon and toasted, buttered baguette! And, oh! The coffee (I had the Le Praline) was divine! My friends and I sat outside and I could almost swear I was back in Paris, leisurely watching the world go by!“

“Every dish felt both thoughtful and indulgent — the kind of food that looks beautiful but also delivers on flavor.
We ordered the çılbır (Turkish eggs) and added the hanger steak, and honestly, it was perfection. The steak was grilled beautifully — juicy, tender, and right at medium rare — and it paired seamlessly with the soft-poached eggs. The herbed yogurt added this cool, tangy balance to the rich chili-garlic butter, and the torn herbs gave everything a bright, fresh lift. Every bite had that ideal mix of creamy, spicy, and savory. The toast was golden and crunchy, perfect for chasing down every bit of sauce.
Then came the torrija (Spanish-style French toast), and wow. It’s rich without being heavy — a thick-cut sourdough soaked in yuzu cheesecake custard, topped with pecans, pear, and candied ginger. The textures were layered beautifully: crisp edges, custardy center, bright citrus notes cutting through the sweetness. It’s one of those dishes that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate what’s happening.
Manna feels like the kind of place where brunch becomes an experience — cozy, elevated, and genuinely creative. Every plate feels crafted with care, and it shows.
If you love brunch done thoughtfully, this is it.“
