I don't go to Solana often, but Barefoot is a classic when I'm around! The team is so nice, and I love how much seating there is outside to enjoy SD's perfect weather + work/read. We got the Cubano's with oat - the muscovado sugar adds nice sweetness, and makes for the perfect iced latte! read more

I love their Cubano latte! I've also had their bagels, how can you go wrong? This is an enjoyable place to study or chill with friendsies. Staff are pretty nice and brisk. Haven't tried their pastries, wish they were fresher. The prices are also steep. Overall, it's a charming local place. read more

We've been to Barefoot Coffee Roasters quite a few times since it's so close to our condo, and it's always been a go-to spot for us. It's popular for a reason. Good food, great location, and usually a really solid experience. This time, though, didn't quite land the same. Because the line was long, we decided to place an online pickup order, which was super easy to do. Most of us ordered the Cardiff Scramble (with sourdough), and overall, it was good. Nothing wildly unique, but fresh, solid, and satisfying. One thing to note though, the pico de gallo is mixed into the scramble, not served on top. That matters if you don't like onions or have an allergy since there wasn't an option online to remove it. Timing was where things started to slip. Our order was ready about 25 minutes after the scheduled pickup time, which was frustrating. The team was very kind and offered us a free coffee or latte for the delay, which we appreciated. That said, we ended up waiting again for those drinks until a manager stepped in to prioritize them so we could leave. Then, after we got home (literally a 2-minute drive), we got a call that they had forgotten our açaí bowl. They were quick to catch it, which I appreciated, but having to go back was inconvenient. And unfortunately, by the time we got it home, it had completely melted and wasn't really edible. Food-wise: * Smoked salmon bagel was excellent, no notes. * Cardiff scramble was good, just be aware of the pico situation. * Mango pineapple smoothie... I'd skip it. We swapped to whole milk due to an almond allergy, and it just tasted off. Overall, this place has been a 5-star spot for us in the past. This visit felt more like a 3.5, but I'm rounding up to 4 because the team was genuinely kind and tried to make it right. Just one of those off days, but worth noting if you're ordering ahead. read more

I went to Barefoot Coffee Roasters last weekend and had a great experience overall. I ordered a flat white, which actually is not on their menu, but they knew exactly how to make it, which felt like a good sign right away. It was fantastic. The coffee was strong, smooth, and really flavorful. I also grabbed a breakfast sandwich with spinach on an everything bagel. That one was just mid, nothing bad but nothing memorable either. Quick heads up if you go on a Saturday: it was extremely busy when I was there because a big group of bicyclists had stopped in. So expect a bit of a crowd. Still, if you are there for the coffee, it is worth it. read more

Fun coffee shop offering limited seating options inside and additional seating outside on their patio, a comfortable walking distance from the Cedros Avenue Design District sign. While some coffee shops are mainly open during the early part of the day, what fun finding a coffee shop open 7 AM - 5 PM daily, which (although we'd ordered only coffee drinks) also offers food, smoothies, beer, wine, and kombucha -- and gluten-free and vegan options. Cool staff. Great spot for hanging out! read more

Lovely rustic coffee shop located in beautiful Solana Beach on the south end of Cedros. Has both indoor and outdoor seating. Finding seats can be difficult during the weekend. So go early or later in the afternoon. Their menu is standard fare with its selection of coffees, baked goods, sandwiches, and avocado toasts. There are several coffee places to explore on Cedros and, although I found the service lackluster, with the woman taking my order completely disengaged , I would still encourage you to experience this place. I have met friends here because of its easygoing, relaxed vibe and their delicious hot Lavendar latte. read more

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.

A first time group of job seekers met here and it was the perfect place (until the blazing sun shone!). Friendly staff. Has an inside but it also has a great patio area which we pretty much took over. While most had a coffee, I also had breakfast. A tasty egg scramble with avocado, cheese and more (see picture). It was very healthy in how it was made and the portion seemed small but was actually the perfect amount! My first time out to this area, recommend it! read more

I'm testing a new theory...and it's that anyone who is willing to invest in a Slayer espresso machine, they care a lot about their beans. So stop three on my Slayer-theory tour is Barefoot Coffee roasters. And for the first time, my theory is turning out to be flawed. I also have a side-theory that says if I'm offered soda water with my espresso, it's also a sign of quality. Well, Barefoot has a Slayer AND offers soda water but the espresso...misses the mark. It had a nice fruitiness but was over-roasted, resulting in a bitter shot. My son got a Voodoo iced drink that is made with chocolate, espresso, and a coconut/sweet milk blend that was delicious. So my impression that I'm walking away is that it's a little hit-and-miss. I'd give the espresso a 3 but the Voodoo saved it. I might go back if I'm on Cedros for the shops or at the farmers market, but I'll pass on them if I'm only looking for a shot by itself. read more

We also had the tri tip scramble which was very very good. Lots of options in food for baked goods, breakfast, sandwiches and much more!

Service is not the best and the wait time is unreal. 40 minutes for a bagel sandwich. Tried to order ahead and even then expect to wait 20 minutes past the pick up time. Today, i ordered an hour ahead of time (11:55) got there to pick it up at 12:10, still wasn't ready and they were out of avocado. I don't understand how they can't get a bagel sandwich out. Only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the food is good and they have good organic options, just insane wait time that ruins the whole experience read more

I've enjoyed coming here as a Solana Beach local for some time now. Unfortunately over the last few months I've noticed the service has gotten worse, the staff not very pleasant, and the food mediocre, hair in the food and long wait times. When you sit outside flies are swarming all over the place, the trash is completely overflowing. When you say "for here" and they still bring you a wasteful paper or plastic cup....

Cedros Avenue in Solana beach is full of coffee shops and more are being added. I've been visiting Barefoot Coffee Roasters for a couple years now and as previous reviewers pointed out, service is really hit or miss (not really deserving tips). I mainly come here for the food, they got great breakfast sandwiches and bagels. It gets VERY busy on the weekends and since many people occupy tables with their laptops, finding an open table can be challenging. On my last visit i ordered a quiche and it wasn't heated properly so ill stick to sandwiches. read more

Visited recently and found it to be decent overall. The ambiance was pleasant, and the staff was polite. The coffee was good but not outstanding, and the food selection was fairly limited. I tried the matcha latte - lightly sweetened- which came with zero sweetness, and lacked the robust flavor I was hoping for. It's a fine spot for a quick caffeine fix, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. read more

A disclaimer on this review, I didn't have any coffee! Just a sandwich and a cookie. I love this place for a few reasons: - plenty of seating compared to many coffee shops - lots of food options in addition to coffee - air conditioning!!! - super friendly service I had such a lovely experience here grabbing lunch to go. I had my newborn with me and couldn't stay but was looking for something quick and easy to take with me. The seasonal pesto sandwich was 5/5 - I love pesto so this was an easy win for me! The pesto was creamy, baguette was perfectly crispy and it overall hit the spot. I ordered it with a side salad but they accidentally gave me chips, so they gave me both :) Glad I could try both options - was glad to get my greens in AND some chips! They also had a gigantic cookie in the window and I decided on a whim it would be a lovely treat. The cashier also agreed that it was AMAZING and she wasn't wrong - it was just as good as it looked! Next time I'll actually try the coffee but have had a lovely experience even without their main item! read more

The week before, I ordered the $7.25 Iced Blood Orange Basil Latte (seasonal special). I was eager to try it because I do enjoy citrus notes with my coffee. But this one lacked the flavors I was hoping to taste. It was all too subtle for me. I wouldn't order it again, but it was nice to try. 4-5 stars! Overall, I've enjoyed my many visits to 7 Seas Roasting & been here through many changes. I do think the coffee drinks are pretty solid and would recommend checking out their seasonal specials when they have them. My top favorites would be: dark mocha raspberry, banana split latte, and the thin mint latte. If you ever see these on the menu, I highly recommend trying them! They have ample seating, outdoors only. The baristas are alll very kind too. It's a great place to spend your time at.

There were a few breakfast items available and a few pastries. We had the chocolate muffin and although it was very good, I don't think I would pay $7.70 for it again. The employee was very friendly. I enjoyed our visit and would recommend Kini Koffee!

The vibe here was very much "please do not talk to me while I'm making somebody else's coffee until…read moreI tell you I'm ready to take your order." I like supporting the little single-server coffee cart and cafe places because they are the little guys, but this felt less welcoming neighborhood coffee spot and more like I was bothering someone by ordering coffee. The coffee itself was okay. I ordered a cold brew, so it wasn't exactly a high maintenance request either.

Look for this cute little hut to order.

Not only is the location beautiful but my latte was perfectly balanced, beautifully made, and honestly one of the best I've had in a long time. The pastries were fresh, and everything felt thoughtfully curated. The barista, Malena, was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind in a way that feels rare these days. She took the time to make sure my order was exactly right and made the whole interaction feel welcoming rather than rushed. You can tell she truly cares about making people's day better, not just making coffee. It's the kind of place that elevates your morning and sets the tone for the rest of the day. Whether you're staying at the hotel or are lucky enough to live nearby, Lyric is absolutely worth stopping into. I'll definitely be back next time I'm here. Highly recommend!

Grange Garden is a cafe located in the Cedros Avenue Design District and the cafe is best known for…read moreits bunny encounters. [Parking]: The garden has a small private parking lot and there were still few parking spots available at 2:30 PM on Saturday. [Bunny Encounters & Price]: Our party booked a 30-minute bunny session ahead of our visit. For reservations, they offer a 20-minute session for $22 per person or a 30-minute session for $25 per person. Walk-ins are welcome as space allows. Reservations are recommended on weekends. [Bunny Experience]: The garden has one window counter for ordering coffee drinks and another counter for bunny sessions. Our party arrived on time, waited in line, and ended up 5 minutes late to our scheduled session. The staff instructed us not to pick up the bunnies and our party had to wear shoe covers before entering the pens. During the session, our party was able to ask the staff as many leaves as we want. Personally, I found the experience a bit underwhelming because (1) I was only able to get the bunnies' attention with leaves and (2) since visitors can't pick up the bunnies, the only activities our party could do were feeding them and watching them eat leaves. There is also a small house with baby bunnies. [Menu]: After the bunny session was over, our party walked up to the window counter and ordered coffee drinks. The top highlighted drinks include The Gardener and The Florist (ceremonial unsweetened organic matcha with rose). Iced drinks 16 oz only. They also sell pizza here. *** The Gardener (organic espresso with honey, lavender, and vanilla - iced 16 oz - $7.50): The drink tasted a bit sweeter than I would have preferred. *** The garden has a good first-date vibe, but personally this is a one-and-done spo. I was disappointed that visitors can't pick up the bunnies even if they hop onto your lap. I recommend sticking with the 20-minute session rather than the 30-minute session for the feeding and petting experience. Also the coffee drink I had was mediocre at best.

The day I went they had some new black metal benches that were sturdy and very pretty. Some days the workers will bring your drink out to you and other times they will leave it on the cart while calling out the drink you ordered. Overall, the workers are very kind! A great place to stop by in the morning or early afternoon.

We each got to order a pot of tea, so we decided to order 5 different ones to try out more flavors together. The ones we picked were: -Jasmine orange oolong - Coconut milk green tea - Earl grey lavender - Vanilla cream -Strawberry rose champagne oolong tea My top two favorites were the jasmine orange oolong and the coconut milk green tea. The only flavor that none of us enjoyed was the strawberry rose champagne oolong tea, so when it came time for refills, we switched it to the rouge provence. For the food, there were four finger sandwiches: chicken breast, smoked salmon, cucumbers, and chopped spinach. We all liked the chicken breast one the most, and felt like the cucumbers and chopped spinach could have been combined into one sandwich for a more balanced flavor. For sweets, there was the seasonal scone, fruit tart, macaron, and donut. I loved the scone with the butter and fruit preserves, as well as the fruit tart. The service was polite, but a bit slow and we waited a while before our food arrived. There was only one person who was serving the entire afternoon tea area, so it's understandable that there's a longer wait. All in all, I would definitely come back for another afternoon tea experience!

He had come to Lofty a couple times before but it was my first time. Easy street parking, very popular on Saturday morning, for locals bringing their dogs or babies. Lots of places to sit in front amid along the side. He ordered a cortado and I ordered a London Fog. Both were brought out to our counter seats, looking pretty and smelling divine. Such a soothing smooth cup of earl grey tea with vanilla flavor, charcoal dust and cream!! Beautiful overcast morning to enjoy reading with a decent playlist in the background. The pastries and menu offerings looked good too! We'll be back! Highly recommend! We ended up going again today (Sunday) which was much more crowded and more people streaming in by the minute. We still managed to get a table. This time I ordered the matcha and mint, which was also soothing and not overly sweet. We shared a scone which was baked fresh from scratch daily. Both were delicious and hit the spot! We left in about 45 minutes to allow newcomers. to sit down. Great local coffee shop! I look forward to stopping by again when we visit the area!

I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll made with croissant dough and to be honest, the pain eu chocolate wasn't the freshest I've had, but I still enjoyed it OK.

I loved that it was made from croissant dough, which made it lighter and more flaky than most cinnamon rolls. I have high standards for croissants as I've been to France many times. :) The view that I got to enjoy these watching while sitting outside, made it such a great experience. I balanced my sweets with a cold refreshing iced Americano, and I would like to come back to try the Nutella danish. The service was great. There was a sweet girl working that helped me and allowed me to take my time looking.
