Lofty Coffee

Let me tell you the story about Lofty Coffee Solana Beach Café and my experience there.I was actually invited to go on a spontaneous date from a girl I matched with on Hinge . She was trying to find a nice spot that would appeal to both of our home locations.She eventually suggested Lofty Coffee Café in Solana Beach. The Lofty Coffee is a quick ride down the road once you get off the 5 Hwy. I appreciate that proximity, because it makes it easier to get to from Oceanside.We both found street parking and made our way over.At the entrance, there's a menu that also has a QR code for access on our phones.We then got in line and made our menu selections reading the menu on our phones. Seeing as it was 3:00PM, there were a few people dining-in and it was relatively quick to get serviced.As an extra convenience, there's also the menus located on 2 tv monitors above the register.After ordering, we took our number holder and found seating on their patio that overlooks the street.I ordered an Organic Golden Milk. This was heavy with turmeric (which I love for anti-inflammation) & honey.The turmeric foam was very dense at the bottom and it provided a gentle warming spice upon sipping.The heart design was cute too.I also ordered a Delicious Toast with peanut butter, honey, bananas & seeds to go along with my Golden Milk.My date ordered an arugula & endive salad and some hibiscus lemongrass tea. Loved the figs on top as well.We were very pleased with our meals and appreciated that the ambiance was casual and quiet, which allowed us to relax and talk undisturbed.The edible flowers on top & the company of finches (birds) was also a nice touch.The service friendly & attentive and their establishment was clean.Overall, I recommend The Lofty Coffee Solana Beach Café ESPECIALLY if wanting a quiet place to converse. Our meals & drinks came up to $35 together. A decent date spot.

Mocha Latte-- perfect temp and perfect setting. The service is fast and friendly. Bring your friend, pull out your laptop, but don't work to hard. Aesthetic perfection :) Take the pic, life's short.

Passing through, my SIL recommended I stop here to get coffee for the road. This cafe has a great cool vibe with a nice outdoor patio. The storefront's walls open up making it open and chill. I ordered a mocha and some pastries. Everything was divine. Will back through again!

Wow. Organic. Fresh. Local owned Yum. The front, back and side patios surround a small kitchen bar set up. And they produce fabulous and fresh dishes to a very appreciative crowd. Kitchen closes at 3 but at 2:45 it is full of happy patrons. I had a croissant sandwich with egg, cheddar, ham arugula and tomato jam. It was special and followed by decadent mocha made with their ganache. Wow.

Cute coffee shop to meet up with friends or get work done in the beautiful Solana Beach. They can get pretty busy on weekends so expect to wait a few minutes for your coffee. I really enjoyed the aztec maya, it had a nice spicy kick with the mix of rich chocolate, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. I liked it so much that Ive been making it at home everyday. The matcha donut looks beautiful but didn't have too much flavor; definitely more subtle.

Healthy eats and innovative coffee, and latte choices. Food: I like the Encinitas, which is poached egg and sliced avocado. Very fresh and delicious.Coffee drinks: My fave coffee is the mocha Azteca, which is a mocha latte but with a little spicy kick. Not too spicy either, just enough.I recommend this place 5-stars.

Such a cute coffee shop! The food here is amazing. The outside and inside seating area is clean and well kept. It's perfect for having a nice breakfast on a sunny day in san diego! I had the açaí bowl and the caramel latte it was so amazing. Great service, food comes out quick. Lots of available parking! I give it a 8.8/10

Such a cute little spot!! We came here after annie's canyon hike and it was the perfect after hike fuel! The coffee was GREAT and the acai bowl looked so pretty and tasted very good too. Will be coming back here to try more of their food & coffee!

First time here. Decided to get it toGo. The person at the register was very helpful and nice. Ordered a London fog and The Cedros. The eggs were cooked perfectly. And the Fog was delicious! I thought parking would be a problem but found a spot close by. It's all outdoor seating. No view but beach near by.

Don't get that nasty minty matcha. So whack couldn't even finish it and it was like 8$. Thought I ordered a regular one....
