“Truly fantastic coffee. I’m a New Yorker and truthfully Californians just don’t seem to do coffee well. Drip coffee seems to have America in a chokehold and getting a great espresso or any derivative of such (cortado, flat white, etc.) is worthless. We happend upon Lofty coffee and my boyfriend ordered the cortado. It came out perfect. To describe it in words would do it an injustice but I will still attempt: the espresso itself was so smooth and mixed with the milk perfectly - there was no separation at all. The milk was delicate - steamed but not airy nor watered down. The whole drink experience was so velvety - almost like sipping straight warmed cream. Truly I’ve never experienced anything like it.
I’m a daily coffee drinker and am deeply heartbroken I can’t have a Lofty’s cortado daily at home. Thank you for the wonderful experience.“

“The Naked Cafe serves delicious food. The morning we visited was very chaotic, saying they were short staffed. One staff member got a little snippy with a customer asking where to wait as there was no hostess. It was awkward for the people already seated. Their Encinitas location seems less busy and the staff seems less stressed and more friendly.“

“We were looking for a quick bite to eat that was dog friendly & this spot came up. We went in blind without reading reviews or anything & it was really such a pleasant surprise!

The place is small, but cute. The inside is clean. The menu is easy to navigate & everything seems fairly priced. The women behind the counter were very friendly & seemed to be having a good day.

There are some chairs & benches outside, which is nice. Water on the patio for dogs & people. The back picnic bench could use an umbrella or some kind of shade, but that's my only critique.

The food exceeded our expectations! Everything was fresh & flavorful with generous portions. The sausage tasted like it was made fresh, it was so delicious & I don't usually eat meat!

We were really happy with everything we got & would go here again.

This place is a hidden gem & I would absolutely recommend it to anyone in the area!“

“There must have been a pound of egg, ham and cheese on the breakfast sandwich, it was delicious. Also, something happened to my order and they remade it. I never would have known it, but they told me it would take a few extra minutes to remake. All around wonderful experiences.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!“
