Had a sweet lunch at Lofty today. The workers were really sweet and my turkey avocado croissant was delicious. I also ordered an iced matcha with chai and oat milk and it was oh so tasty!

Lofty has always been a great place. Good personal service and conversation. They only hire happy people. As you can see from my pics I’m a big deal at Lofty.

Excellent coffee. It was highly recommended and I know why. Good roast and taste to my cold brew. Had a taste of an espresso and it was MUCH better than the "trendy chain place that likes creepy fish women" espresso. I had a Lofty-Style Nola cold brew and and it was a good coffee flavor and was very very good. I also had the Organic Acai Bowl and all the ingredients were fresh and the bowl was worth getting. My group had a variety of their other coffees and everyone had positive feed back. The french toast was not something I bought, but a friend in the group did and they wouldn't shut up about it...seriously. Come in with expectations of good coffee and good food and you will leave happy. Value for the cost. Cheap is cheap but good is worth what it costs and this place is the latter.

This is a delightful coffee shop, where I enjoyed a morning date with my wife. We only drank the house coffee, but the coffee hit the spot. To add to the atmosphere, Lofty Coffee played music (contemporary soft rock/ jazz). The service was kind and thoughtful, but the crew was busy. Several customers had their laptops, and they appeared to appreciate the environment. Lofty Coffee has an interesting pledge (please see photo). Yes, I would take my wife back to Lofty Coffee for another coffee date.

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

When in the north county San Diego area, Lofty Coffee - La Costa is one of my favorite places. The coffee, food, and service are amazing. The staff's service and friendly demeanor contribute to the inviting atmosphere, making customers feel genuinely welcome. Lofty roasts their own coffee and has a variety of crafted coffees. The selection of pastries and food items complement the drinks, adding to the overall experience. The quality of the coffee and food and the overall service and ambiance makes Lofty Coffee what it is. Lofty is an excellent spot for those seeking wonderful coffee and food in a charming setting
