Lofty Coffee La Costa

Always busy, but very fast service for is awesome, only negative is they run out of so many things by 10am sometime. They have this egg pastry thing. It's not sweet, but they call it a pastry and literally 50% of the time they are sold out by 9-10. I've encouraged them to make more to no avail, you can't sell what you don't have!

Ordered a simple iced latte with regular milk and it was served hot. This is the second time this has happened at Lofty. I think I’m better off paying for a $6 drink at another coffee shop in town.

Rating this place depends a bit on how price sensitive you are as the food and drink are fairly expensive. For the most part, the coffee is quite good and the food delicious. I should have asked for the coffee to be served in a ceramic cup ; I found the cardboard container was flavoring the coffee.

Fantastic coffee. My favorite coffee shop in Encinitas. Friendly staff and very good choices on coffee. My favorite is Turkish latte. Infused with cardamom and raw sugar

Coffee and food was good enough.. but the energy was felt.. It's not the place to get the warm and fuzzies.
