Very cute environment but quite overpriced. I ordered a dirty chai which was very good--not too spicy and not too sweet. The quality was great but I just did not think paying $4.85 for a 12oz drink is worth it. It was also a barely warm even though I had ordered extra hot... read more

I loooove this place! The coffee and atmosphere are great. I usually get an iced coffee or a coconut chai tea latte, both are absolutely amazing. The space is great as it has a quiet indoor setting, perfect for studying or getting a little work done, or a more lively outdoor patio which is perfect for coffee dates. One of the baristas, Blake, has exceptional knowledge of his craft and makes my drink perfect every time! I just had their pumpkin spice latte and i must say I am never ordering the crappy starbucks version ever again. Thanks for keeping Leucadia a great place, Cafe Ipe! read more

I think location is great, once in a while you might be there when they have some live music which is really nice too. Staff is just ok which is why the review is a 3. I personally believe customer service is HUGE and sometimes when I'm here I just don't feel they care. I also find it interesting how they charge for whip cream, then later never have any and tell me after the fact they don't have whip cream. This literally happen to me on 3 separate occasions. I was not too happy. You are a coffee shop, you should always have whip cream! And, know your inventory. If you don't have it, either make some or let your customers know before you ring them up and charge them extra for it. But, don't judge this place too much on my review because most people love the ambiance and find it a wonderful coffee shop. I am just very picky and have my expectations. read more

What an awesome way to spend the morning! Went there to work, great wifi anyways. But got there and just enjoyed a live show of awesome music; I think they were called "second cousins"? Croissant sandwich was great tasting and matcha latte. Relaxing outdoor seating under the beautiful tree. Will come back. read more

Had an outstanding breakfast. Açaí Bowl was fresh and sweet. Iced coffees big thumbs up. Breakfast burrito was a hit with the rest of the clan. Outside seating was a big plus. read more

We've been coming here ever since we moved to Encinitas. Staff is always friendly and the vibe is chill. A fair share of spandex clad bikers stop in too but all are welcome. It's a chill local place with great "grinds". Get the dawn patrol but do avo and bacon. read more

Stopped in with a friend on a whim. Staff was nice. I had the matcha tea and my friend had regular coffee. My tea was good and very strong. They do serve food but I didn't see a kitchen so I was weary of ordering food that was pre-made and microwaved. The seating outside was nice and shaded, I will definitely be back. read more

Smooth, fragrant coffee. Their roast has a nice caramely aroma to it, and doesn't stay on the palate very long. I had a latte and it was very good, the milk had a nice frothy consistency and was at the perfect temperature. Atmosphere is nice and quiet, making it a great place to study/read. read more

Really delicious coffee, great lattes ,free wifi, and they even get their coffee beans fresh from a local roaster, Revolution Roasters, who rents space inside to roast. I've had their egg bagel sandwiches, acai bowls, and they have a delicious case of pastries from an Encinitas French bakery--the almond croissants are awesome :) Coffee coffee has a great shaded patio out front, and sometimes on the weekend mornings they have live music. Doggies are welcome on the patio too. Overall great place to spend a lazy weekend morning. read more

Great coffee and a really good food selections. All in the heart of Leucadia, great place to hang out and watch the day develop. Friendly and efficient staff as well! Dawn patrol tops my list of breakfast foods, anything from the pastry case is amazing as well. read more

Bacon seasoned and baked to perfection. Bagel and cream cheese was delicious. Eggs were scrambled in an unfamiliar manner. It seemed like a mix between egg white and regular scramble. Less yolk than normal, but still some there. The caramel latte was delicious, yet smoky tasting. read more

Latte is really strong and a little bitter for my taste...well the first sips. When you get below the foam,it's delish like butterscotch. Dirty Chai is very good. I liked how it was not too sweet. The mozzarella swich was great. The Hawaiian chicken swich -- not my fave. Both were small for the price kinda. Staff were super chill and nice. Everyone else that came in too. Stayed and worked a long time. Love this place! read more

It's clear that this establishment prides themselves in their craft. Unique selection of coffee beans (choice of pure and blended types), and they can brew your coffee and prepare it any way you want. I really appreciated that the staff went out of their way to make me a special espresso to order on a busy Saturday. Plenty of seating inside and out, and the decor is simple and classy. This place is worth the trip to Encinitas. Bird Rock Coffee Roasters - move aside!! read more

Casual, small local café. Perfect place to take in the local feel. The matcha latte is my favorite but I know the coffee peeps like this place because they do their own roastings. Can get busy on weekends when they have live music especially during the day. The inside is very warm and the outside tables go quick on hot days. Give it a go after or before hitting the beach. read more

Coffee Coffee - Matcha Latte love! - Cafes Near Me - Encinitas, California

My fav coffee shop in Leucadia! Always great service and tasty coffee! I usually get iced almond latte but today I tried the regular hot latte which is delishisly satisfying! Revolution roasters brew their coffee right in the shop, which guarantees freshness. For food choices, everything is good, but my favorite is the lox croissant breakfast sand which! Yum Jose is the best! read more

What a cup of coffee!! While on a "staycation" with my husband, we were ready for a great cup of coffee (or 2)- we decided to try this place out and we are so glad we did! We both had a basic cup of house brew coffee- holy goat was the brew of the day, and it was great! Rich tasting, almost creamy in texture. They offer sugar cubes, which I really enjoyed! I'm a cream and sugar kinda gal, but not too much of either- I love the taste of coffee, and you really get it there! Refills are a buck, and I feel, worth it. Also, they roast all their coffee beans in house (I think that makes a difference!) thanks for a delicious start to our day! read more

Coffee Coffee - My delicious cup of coffee - Cafes Near Me - Encinitas, California

Best iced Americano coffee I've ever had! Not sure what they could possibly do to it to make it so tasty and delicious but it is something I think about wanting to go back for all the time! Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious as well. read more

One of my favorite places on the coast. Great coffee and food. Lots of outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade. It can be a bit crowded during peak times but the line moves pretty fast. read more

I enjoy this place, especially on my way to grab a cup of joe and their yummi croisants. Service is friendly, but can have long waits on weekends. They make a good cappuccino, one of the better ones in SD. I would give the place 5 stars, if they were to work on the service, speed and efficiency rather than talking about how good the waves with their buddies. Work on your service and I will give you 5 stars and for now you will be my stop for coffee on my way to work. read more

Great coffee - come here when we are camping San Elijo or Carlsbad and stock up on our favorite French Press blend - our regular Nightshift and trying out Surfing Madonna's Elixer - name has changed back to Coffee Coffee but the owner remains the same! read more

Ordered a large iced cold pressed coffee. It was good. No complaints, although the large seems more like a medium. Good service. Semi hipster spot, good vibes, basic menu, music playing (hiphop atm, surprisingly) but not obtrusive. Dig it. I'll be back when I'm around the way read more

I used to go to this coffee shop quite often and then in 2016 there was a short BROWN hair in my BLT sandwich. I complained to management and they came back at me and said there is no one at the shop that has brown hair. Well, it had to be someone that works there because it wasn't my own hair that was inside the sandwich, which they wrapped for my take out order. Jump forward to today, December 2017. I thought I should try this coffee shop one more time and order coffee instead of food. There was one person in front of me who ordered 2 latte's and I ordered a cold brew to go. There was 1 person making the drinks, 1 cashier, 1 food runner, and 3 people behind the counter just standing around watching the other people work. I had waited 20 minutes for my cold brew (mind you, all they have to do is get a cup, put ice in it, and fill it up with cold brew in the fridge). I stood there, watching each person as they wiped down the counter, refilled the cold brew pitchers, refill the cups, and bring food out to other customers. Tell me, why did it take so long for my coffee to be poured in a cup when you have employees doing NOTHING?? 20 minutes go by and my glass of cold brew was not even full!! I looked at my coffee with so much dissatisfaction and the barista knew he didn't give me a full glass of cold brew. I had to go back and ask the other barista to fill up my cup of cold brew to the top. If you ask me, coffee coffee needs new management, more efficient staff and better customer service. Be considerate/respectful and attentive to your customers, that's your job being in the customer service industry. read more

Cool vibe, good coffee, good pastry selection, but the panini menu needs some work. There is no breakfast sandwich without meat, and if you get it without the turkey, you pay the same price. It is definitely NOT worth the money I paid for it! I am all about third wave coffee shops, but unfortunately, the breakfast sandwiches at Starbucks (for around $4.00) are a way smarter buy. I will for sure be back for the coffee! read more

We can't seem to find a great espresso drink in this area! Ordered a cappuccino, got a latte...with no foam art. Definitely needed sugar to be drinkable. Outdoor seating area is pleasant, though the chairs do not encourage staying long. Clientele consisted of families with young children, young couples and a few middle aged peeps. Not a hipster to be seen on a Sunday morning. Two stars for polite, fast service and free wifi. read more

I like my espresso smooth with complex flavor profiles and notes of caramel that pair well with cream. As far as that goes this is as good as it gets. They roast their own beans on site and I would highly recommend buying a bag or two on your visit. The food is fine, the staff is friendly, the brewed coffee is okay. The ambiance is lovely, lively and casual; this is not a place I would go to if I were trying to read or get work done. read more

I've been here multiple times and love it! Everyone is really nice and the atmosphere is very beach cool. I love their cappuccinos, so yummy!! Good place to study too! :) read more

Awesome coffee shop in the Leucadia area. Very impressed with everything. Excellent quality coffee, friendly service and very well-designed interior layout and decor. I particularly like the open atmosphere created by the large windows at the front of the store; which lets in plenty of light. Another cool feature is the coffee bar setup inside the store. Very pleasantly surprised by Cafe Ipe and will definitely be back soon! read more

I love Lofty Bean but Cafe Ipe is within1 minute walk from my home....AND it has outstanding coffee. They can be a little slow in the makings, but the service is sweet and you can't beat the location. Yes!!! read more

New to yelp! But I have to mention my favorite coffee shop in North County... This place is awesome, their coffee is phenomenal. Better than Lofty by far! Their loose leaf teas are delicious and their gluten free almond biscuits are my guilty pleasure. Their staff is so friendly and helpful. They know my drink. Its definitely worth try! read more

Great place - everything about it - so Luecadia / Encinitas - Laid back with artsy, classy atmosphere and music on the perfect patio. Best Chai Latte in the area...Food decent too, and friendly people work there. Come see the large iconic Surfing Madonna on the building wall that backs the patio. I'd give it 5 stars but Ive had to wait too long for food a couple times when they are busy, and it can be a bit loud depending on the musician that day. All which is somewhat understandable. Just keeping it real people read more

Great coffee hands down one of the best places to go. I'm not a hipster so I drink their mochas which are great. If your a hipster they will make you a mocha but call it a Americana so no worries give it a try. read more

Coffee Coffee - Soy latte, oatmeal with fruit - Cafes Near Me - Encinitas, California

Baristas here know what they're doing. I'm a coffee snob/purist and I have tried all the roasters/premium coffee places around SD. I have been disappointed more than a few times after paying $4 for a pour over and having it taste papery. These guys hooked me up with a perfect Guatemalan V60. I'm happy now. read more

Cool little location and nice staff but they're always running out of food. Especially croissants meaning no breakfast sandwiches unless you want it on a bagel. I now skip the place it's happened so much. Its just not worth driving someplace to eat, only to get there and find you can't order your favorite sandwich. It's also a bit pricey at $8 for eggs on a croissant and $2.97 for a large coffee but it is good. The wifi is incredibly fast for a coffee shop so if you're looking for a place to work while you have a good cup of coffee, this your place. read more

Good espresso and they offer cortados. They were a. It wasteful with the plastic. I saw most of the people drinking at tables with to go cups. I even asked for my drink "for here" and they still put it in a to-go cup. read more

Everything a mighty coffee house could be, and most especially from the staff, the atmosphere they create, the music, the food, the roasted beans - LOVEY LOVELY!! would give six six six Stars, the Sun n Moon read more

Such a great spot to hangout inside or outside. Really great cold brew and I'm trying to work my way they the coffee menu! Really great baked treats too- I'm a sucker for a blueberry muffin and these were ahmahzing! read more

I am so disappointed with this place I ordered a breakfast croissant with no tomato to go I get home 500 feet away from the place and noticed they just pulled the Tomato off and the croissant is soaked with who-knows-what and unfortunately will never be back again read more

A complete GREAT experience. People that really care about you, the customer! Fantastic staff, that love to smile and mellow you out. Even if you do have a coffee product or tasty pastry, you will love the experience, I can assure you. It comes complete with a very cool designed coffee bar, where behind that bar, you will find a very cool Probat coffee roaster unit and sometimes the Chief Roaster himself, roasting gourmet coffee, should you catch them at it at the right time. read more
