38 Best Cafes near Escondido

“Incredible folks out here at James. Really a locals-only gem in Escondido. Pastries can't be beat; the cortado gives me hope. ☕️🥐“

“Best local coffee! The lovely aroma of freshly roasted coffee is heavenly!“

“An interesting little coffee shop located on the bottom floor of the building that houses Vintanas and a Lexus dealership. It has a very open entrance, so it feels like it is a part of the dealership. It's not. It's a small separate business.There is plenty of seating available. It has a very upscale feel to the bar area, where you can sit and enjoy a drink. There are also other tables around to sit at. The staff here have always been friendly and attentive. There is a large variety of coffee options to choose from. They also serve food like sandwiches and breakfast items, smoothies too. Blended coffee drinks are also on the menu!If you like exploring small and unique coffeee shops, this definitely makes the list. Grab a coffee and roam around the lexus dealership or nearby shops and restaurant. It's a pleasant place to find somewhere to sit.Parking is a bit odd. You can park in the front in the dealership parking lot area, or there is a huge 3 story parking lot around the back of the building. Park on any lever and walk in, then take the elevator to the first floor.

Parking: The most parking options I have ever seen at any coffee shop due to its neighboring businesses.“

“I am a bit disappointed with recent winery messaging/policy. These changes seem to make the winery setting more exclusive and less welcoming to families. I have NEVER been dissatisfied with the wine. Just a little disappointed in the pull away from families and inclusion.

New review: I am the biggest fan of this winery. I have recommended this winery to literally all of my friends and family. I have never enjoyed a winery more than Domaine. I love most Domaine wines, which is very telling for a self-proclaimed wine snob. At most wineries I Iike two or three wines. At Domaine there is no wine I do not like. I especially like their Rincon del Diablo and Syrah. In addition to their scrumptious wine, the staff here have never waivered in their kindness and accomodations.

The missing star and slightly critical review is hopefully part of larger growing pains. My kids used to come here and feel so welcomed. They could stretch their legs and roam a bit (supervised). We could search for tadpoles or ask staff for the owl puppet or drive the tonka trucks through the olive orchard. It was a pretty special place for our teacher friend group to relax and have their kids enjoy outside at the same time. Seeing the new signage up discouraging supervised child autonomy is beyond disappointing. I enjoyed this winery as it always felt like family. It felt like home. It was uncomplicated and comfortable. Their dogs roam free and my kids, behaving with respect, were also permitted to do the same. Closing out areas to kids is beyond regrettable and makes me less inclined to continue membership (even given my 10 plus years of membership and their delicious wine). Unfortunately I am going to consider if it's worth it to be a member of a place that is seemingly inhospitable to half of my family. I wonder if they will make a separate section for families / dogs or if they will continue to slide towards exclusionary spaces.“

“I went to O’Brien’s for the first time today. My Mother-in-law highly recommended the restaurant so I could meet my friend. The food was delicious. The service was great- Thank You Sarah and team. I am so excited to try the different types of breads and pastries. O’ Brien’s is known for their delicious breads, especially sour dough. If you are in the San Diego area, differently check out this restaurant! Sit down and relax with your favorite cup of coffee or tea with a sweet pastry, great bread or something from their delicious menu.“

“I love the strawberry and poppyseed salad. So fresh!“

“Good and fast managment🥰“

“"Cat & Craft - Cafe" good“

“great smores and also a strawberry and nutella crepe today. great size. flavor on both. will be back for sure.“

“Tried this spot on a Saturday before driving down to SD. We got a chai latte and strawberry scone. Both were delicious. I am not big on scones, however, the nice young lady at the counter let me know they are made in house by the owner. No joke, had to be one of the BEST scones I’ve ever eaten. Wow! Ambiance is nice too. A must try cafe in San Marcos.“

“First come, first serve. It’s a nice place. kind of tight to back into as you’ll be backing off of a small somewhat busy road. two docks, one truck unloading/loading at a time. fast crew though. you’ll be able to find parking on the side of the street, which is a nice plus.“

“Extremely disappointed! Why do people wait in line there? It was no better than a Dennys. Plain and not tasty, but expensive.“

“Locally owned, by Lisa. She's wonderful, we've been stopping by pre-covid and post-covid for years, from Surprise, AZ. Great spot to chill at during your vacation. We will always come back by! ✌🏽❤✊🏽“

“This place is so good. I wouldn't necessarily hang to work or study, but the drinks are the best. My favorite is the monster boba latte. It's an iced latte worth boba, then they drizzle brown sugar molasses down the sides. The windows are a bummer, you can hardly see out of them, but I'm a window cleaner so i notice these things.“

“The BEST theater in San Diego! 🔥“

“Charming cottage has the best food and atmosphere!“

“Fabulous as always 😀 thank you“

“Amazing customer service and the WiFi is fast! My coffee was out quick and was made perfect! The barista Sky was very helpful when it came to my questions about sugar free and healthy options. He took the time to care for me and answer all my questions. I will be coming back soon!“

“It so tasty mango 🥭 beer 🍺 ever!!!“

“This is by far the best indian authentic food experience that we tried. The tandoori variety of dishes is amazing. We've been returning to this small restaurant for a few times since we discovered it. My kids love it!
The lady who cooks here knows what needs to be done to crave for the authentic indian taste. Highly recommend it to everyone who wants to experience an authentic, delicious indian cuisine.“

“Best Italian coffee as well as matcha I have ever had! It is now a regular stop on the way to SD. 🫶CK 🇺🇸“

“I really like the vibe, is it good for working and seating alone also for hanging out. But for working it is not super quiet but still good for me.
I love their chicken bbq sandwich and cesar salad.
Also the hazelnut coffee is really good.
Orders get ready really fast and is great for having a quick snack especially because you can order half sized sandwiches and …“

“Food is Delicious... 🥰“

“I am not the biggest fan of donuts but someone bought me the blueberry donuts to try and oh my goodness these might become my favorite donuts ever they are SO good. They were just the perfect amount of thick but not too hard to eat, and not too messy, and the flavor was so yummy. Can’t wait to try everything else here now.“

“I like Caffe Positano - coffee is good and convenient. They should get a microwave so croissants and muffins can be warmed up. It would improve the food experience immensely“

“Nice vibe love the food 🥘“

“Best breakfast burritos ANYWHERE! great service! Accommodating! Great new bowls! Fantastic, high quality coffee and tea! Clean! Safe! Can order there, online, or through phone! Can eat inside, outside, pick up, or get curbside pick up service! They follow ALL CDC guidelines! I've been going there since they first opened. 👍👍👍👍👍😊“

“Thr best place to eat funtastic food. great service 👏 love“
