    I think the ambience of barefoot coffee is really delightful. Very be spoke, very unique shape in the interior architecture. The staff there made me a very excellent quad shot Vanilla Latte.

    Flat white

    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.

    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!

    A wonderful coffee and breakfast location, CS is great, they are busy but orders are processed in a timely manner. Their Coffee drinks are delicious and "Spot On" in terms of flavor. The Avocado Toast and Toasted Bagel and Cream Cheese were marvelous.

    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.

    Excellent spot in Solana Beach, right on Main Street. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. 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. It's a great place to study or work in Solana Beach, and the latte and bagel were both good as well.

    Egg scramble of some sort  with sour dough bread- mmmmm

    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!

    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.

    Very below mid matcha. Did not finish it after this photo was taken.
    Lea M.

    Workers were nice. Matcha was not good. They were nice enough to try to make it taste better. The first time it was the color of milk and tasted like milk. They added some more matcha but it didn't do much. Would not recommend the match. :(

    such a cute spot in solana beach! inside is pretty bare bones but plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. i just popped in for a latte & açaí bowl to go after a walk. their vanilla latte was delicious sir house made vanilla syrup & the açaí was gluten free! the service was fantastic, so sweet, attentive & connected with the locals. the small team was working so hard!

    We popped in here for lunch and a beer one day and loved it! I loved their chicken taco and goat cheese salad, and my husband said their tri-tip quesadilla was very tasty. They had lots of outdoor seating and a cute vibe inside too. Have heard their coffee is amazing as well!

    Mexican Mocha Latte
    David R.

    Mexican Mocha and pleasant staff made this Latte taste even better. Happy to finally walk in and give Barefoot a try .

    30 mins is too long of a wait for a breakfast item. Doesn't matter what it tastes like at this point. Coffee orders are a lot faster but food service I wanted to love it too cause they use a lot of organic produce butttttt sorry not trying to spend my whole day here

    Just go elsewhere. You'll end up waiting way too long for even the simplest of orders.

That was cool. The staff here are friendly and knowledgeable of their products. I ordered their Citrus Celery juice. For a celery juice, it was well balanced with flavors of orange, apple, grapes, and grapefruit. My fiancé ordered the beet root smoothie with the cacao chips. This was also good. A little bit on the sweet side especially for being beet based. But still very refreshing and also well balanced out with the cacao. The açaí bowl was the best I ever had. The presentation said it all. It was paired well with green apple, raspberries, bananas, walnuts, all the oats, maybe Nutella drizzle and coconut shavings with Greek yogurt. I was down for a second bowl. But it was very filling. Once again a perfect blend of everything. We also tried the avocado toast. I was happy to see that this dish came with more than just avocado and toast. They included an egg arugula, and a tomato. Nowadays, that is way more than what other cafes offer. I thought it was a good price for what you got.

The menu is a little bit different than I remember, but still focuses on fresh and healthy. The girl working at the front used to also work at the PB Location and she's very friendly and knowledgeable. She also gave us samples of the berry smoothie and the green juice to try. I went with the golden milk latte to drink, and it was fabulous. I did have them add a shot of espresso to it because when I was ordering a latte, I definitely was looking for caffeine. It's lovely with turmeric, cinnamon, oat milk, MCT oil and black pepper. I also ordered the Hot Chick salad. It came out looking gorgeous. The salad tasted really good, the chicken was seasoned nicely, and I liked the different textures with the rice, the quinoa and the roasted corn. The dressing was super tasty too. When I got towards the end of my salad, my last few pieces of avocado were bad. It wasn't a dealbreaker for my experience, but I would've definitely preferred that they would've left those pieces out. Also, the little toasted cracker things tasted like cardboard, dry and flavorless. I probably should've tried scooping up some of the salad with them, but I left them on the plate. Overall, I would definitely return to this location. You cannot beat them if you are looking for something fast, casual, and healthy. Definitely not on the cheap though, my salad and latte were $34 before tip, but I don't mind paying for good quality food that is fresh and healthy.

My family was vacationing in Encinitas and stumbled upon Claire's on Cedros on our first morning while searching for an early breakfast spot. Pancakes are usually not something I get excited about - I tend to think most restaurants use the same premade mixes from the same suppliers, resulting in pancakes that are ultimately forgettable. That changed the moment I tried a bite of the pancakes my daughter ordered. I was genuinely surprised to discover what may be some of the best pancakes I've ever had. Since then, Claire's has become a breakfast tradition whenever we're in the area. Buttermilk Pancakes (OG) - 5/5. These pancakes completely changed my expectations of what a pancake can be. What makes Claire's buttermilk pancakes stand out is their depth of flavor. They have a rich, buttery character and a subtle fermented tang that give them a distinctive personality. Add a little extra butter and real maple syrup, and the flavor reaches another level. The texture is equally impressive. Unlike many restaurant pancakes that are either soggy or overly dense, these strike a near-perfect balance. They hold their shape well while remaining tender and fluffy, with just the right amount of air pockets. They're substantial without being heavy and soft without falling apart. The finishing touch is a thin ring of golden-brown crispy edges that adds both texture and extra flavor to every bite. Seasonal Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - 4.5/5. Our server recommended the seasonal lemon ricotta pancakes, and I'm glad I gave them a try. They are every bit as well-executed as the original buttermilk pancakes, with a bright citrus flavor and a richer, creamier profile from the ricotta. While I still prefer the original buttermilk version for its subtle fermented tang, these are excellent in their own right and well worth ordering if they're available. Eggs Benedict with Crispy Parmesan Risotto & Honey-Cured Bacon - 4.5/5. Once I find a favorite dish, I have a habit of ordering it repeatedly - which was becoming a problem thanks to those buttermilk pancakes. On a return visit, I made a point of trying something different and was glad I did. The standout pairing here is the crispy hash browns. This is one of those dishes where the individual components really shine when eaten together. Combining the arugula, poached egg, hollandaise sauce, and crispy hash browns creates a wonderfully balanced bite. The hash browns contribute crunch, the egg and hollandaise provide rich creaminess, and the arugula adds freshness and brightness that keeps everything from feeling too heavy. It's a thoughtfully composed dish that delivers both flavor and texture. Drinks - okay. The juices, teas, and coffee were perfectly fine - nothing remarkable, but nothing to complain about either. They do their job and complement the food well. Here are my final Thoughts. I'm so glad we discovered Claire's on Cedros. It has given me a new benchmark for what great pancakes should taste like. Even as someone who never considered pancakes a favorite breakfast item, I find myself thinking about them long after the meal is over. If we're back in Encinitas or Solana Beach, Claire's will be one of our first stops. The pancakes alone are worth the visit.
