“My husband and I were honey mooning and staying in Solana Beach. We went to Lofty the first day we arrived and their Mocha dark chocolate late was absolutely FIRE! I recommend for delicious local coffee compared to your neighborhood Starbucks. I think they ten fold beat Starbuck’s coffee. Wish we had a Lofty on the east coast! On Valentine’s Day they handed out these cute homemade heart shaped cookies and they were so good! Highly recommend, great staff, delicious food, and bomb coffee!! You won’t be disappointed!“

“We got the not-so-pork banh mi and the tofu banh mi, both without mayo to make it vegan. The staff are super friendly and kind, and it was easy and straightforward to get the order veganized. The tofu banh mi was a bit plain (they offered us peanut sauce instead of mayo, which we had declined. Next time, we’ll say yes, haha!), but the not-so-pork banh mi was excellent. Would go back!!

“Excellent spot in Solana Beach, right on Main Street. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Since I went on a weekend, the line to order was quite long, but because many people were ordering to go, I was still able to find a table. It’s a great place to study or work in Solana Beach, and the latte and bagel were both good as well.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

T’s Cafe is an absolute gem! The Bloody Mary is amazingly delicious—one of the best I’ve had. The create-your-own scramble with chorizo, cheddar, and sweet peppers was packed with flavor, and the skillet with eggs, home fries, bacon, and cheddar was hearty and perfectly cooked.

The menu offers a nice variety, the atmosphere is exactly what you want in a fun beach town cafe, and the service is excellent. Most importantly, the food is consistently delicious every single visit. Highly recommend stopping here!“
