Although I liked my flat white, my wife did not like her mocha. It had a very different unexpected flavor.

Just had the perfect little cappuccino and what might be the best bagel I’ve ever had
I’m a little confused at how good that bagel was
I’ve done New York, Montreal, etc
This might be it

Small little coffee shop in downtown Encinitas. Small shop not too many seats on the inside - a few tables outside . But their coffee makes up for that all of that 3 came back here twice one weekend - it was so good ! Excellent flat white and one day they had a new wave bagel pop up - they were fresh and delicious 🤤 !! Probably my favorite coffee spot in Encinitas !

At 9:45, I stopped by Ironsmith Coffee for a cup of coffee, the usual. Certainly, there was a buzz about the coffee shop at this time. There were plenty of customers, who were enjoying both indoor and outdoor seating. Encinitas is a beautiful city to appreciate the weather. As you can see by the photos, Ironsmith Coffee is military friendly. Also, the store is pet friendly. While waiting in line, the customer before me had a dog. The barista offered a treat for the dog, and the customer seemed to appreciate it. For the record, Encinitas is a dog friendly town. My experience was a little different. My barista was a new hire, the first day on the job. My transaction was cash, and the register records this differently. It took a moment to work through it. As a new hire, she seemed to be soaking up the experience. I did experience one difficulty, and that was parking. Street parking is limited, and the parking behind the store was full. It was difficult for me to find parking. With this said, it is worth your time to enjoy a coffee drink at Ironsmith Coffee Roasters.

Honestly, this might be the best coffee in North County San Diego. The baristas are so friendly and great at making the drinks. The drinks are timely and consistent in high quality. The owner is hands on and extremely friendly. Also, Heather, the barista is always extremely friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend the chai and turmeric lattes are my favorite.

Lovely coffee ! Best I think in Encinitas.

Great little place to hang out, it has some space set up for remote work, which is a nice touch. It's also very close to the beach and downtown Encinitas.

Was in the area and got excited to find this coffee shop with great reviews and was very optimistic. However, once I was ordering and observed the barista’s extraction technique, I lost a bit of hope.

They have some creative latte flavors but both of the lattes I tried were “watery” and were lacking that rich, full-bodied taste I always look for - likely due to espresso being insufficiently extracted.

The almond croissant was great and worth trying 100%.

The staff were incredibly nice, but if you’re looking to do some work, this may not be the best place in my opinion. There aren’t enough spots to work on or plug your computer.

Parking: Depending on the time of the day you might need to spend some time to find parking. We managed to find a parking a block away around 9AM.
