Best coffee we had in the US be fair.
Ironsmith has friendly staff and a nice vibe. I ordered a cortado, which was just okay. The coffee tasted either too dark of a roast or overly acidic for my preference, so it wasn’t very enjoyable. As a bit of a coffee nerd, I also prefer cortados served in smaller cups and if I’m sitting at the cafe, served in a ceramic cup, and that detail fell short here. There was someone on site selling bagels, which was a nice touch, but as a Jersey girl just visiting, I decided to pass. Enjoyed catching rays outside on the outdoor seating.

It’s more than a coffee experience … it’s a place that is welcoming. After moving from the east coast, I found myself wandering Encinitas trying all the cuisine up the 101. This is by FAR the best coffee offered in Encinitas and arguably North County. Not only for the drinks served but the second time I ventured into Ironsmith the owner and barista recognized me and remembered my order. Being new to a place this demonstrated how impactful and caring a small business can be towards repeat customers. Now a year later this is still my go to coffee spot! Must try and experience!

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.
