Super cute coffee shop! Had the breakfast croissant and the coconut creme tea. It was really good and they have a nice big patio area so I can bring my pup. Definitely coming back :) read more

Great place to get coffee, very low key. They are not fast but the coffee and especially the Chai lattes are worth the wait. Best to get here early. Very dog friendly. read more

Girl behind the counter was rude and uninformed. Another subpar coffee shop in Encinitas. Here's an idea... there are at least five coffee shops in North Park that really know what's going on - go there, observe, sample and ask questions. read more

There is only one other place in a ten mile radius that roasts their own coffee beans on-site with a commercial roaster - this one does! Fantastic coffee for those who like a great roast. They are still new.. working out a few food kinks I think - but its a COFFEE shop, and that coffee can't be beat. read more

I love this place! They really know how to craft a perfect cup of coffee. Plus it's the perfect place to stop before walking over to Beacon's Beach! A welcome addition to Leucadia. read more

Great spot and nice employees. The weekend live entertainment is a huge plus. If you are planning on being a cliche coffeehouse customer writing your screenplay or sitting back revealing to the world that you can read - then stay home during those times. Yet if you want to experience a business that supports the local music scene then you will fit in nicely. read more

Everything a true coffee snob requires! If you're from the northwest this is your place!

Great coffee, great location, friendly service, tasty tid-bits, reasonable prices! If you haven't been, you should definitely stop in!

I've only been here on Sundays, when they have a jazz band out front. The band is a nice touch, but it's loud. This is a little gem of a place. The menu is limited but it's good, and healthy. Great lattes. Nice, casual vibe. Staff can be pretty brusque. read more

I truly loved this place while I was on vacation in Encinitas. While the wait time was a little long, they took care of you. The food was great, the coffee good, and the environment very nice. I'd love to live by this cafe. read more

This is my neighborhood coffee spot and im so lucky it is. The live music lures me in even when I didn't think I wanted coffee. The ambiance and the coffee both are my favorite morning spots in Leucadia! read more

Very good cafe right off the 101 with its own in house roaster (Revolution Roasters), that has excellent coffee & espresso drinks and a nice breakfast menu. You can definitely tell the coffee is sourced well and roasted correctly. They use a number of coffee geek pour over brewing methods that I love, including Hario v60 and chemex. The cafe has a cool atmosphere with live music on the patio at certain times and a cool bar area around its roasting area. I would say this place ranks near the top for best coffee in North County, right up there with Zumbar in Cardiff. The only downside to this place is that it can sometime be difficult to find parking, especially in the summer. read more

The people here have a true passion for great coffee, they roast there own coffee in house and it's delicious. We showed up at 10pm on a Friday night the store was technically closed but we were invited in by a gentleman roasting beans. Twenty minutes later we had made a new friend, learned about /witnessed the roasting process, and had the most well crafted and amazing tasting cup of pour over coffee ever. We also bought a pound of espresso beans to take home and now we are enjoying the best coffee I have ever had from a San Diego roaster every morning. read more

Wherever we travel to, we try to locate the best coffee houses. Coffee Coffee uses the best beans, smoothest flavor, and boastful creama. We return there whenever in Leucadia. A must! read more

Great pricing on locally roasted coffee beans and they make a really good cup in house.

This place is a win win!!! Great food, service and atmosphere. If you are in the area you definitely need to stop by and try it.

Always great food and great service. Even when they are busy, which they often are, you are greated with a smile and consistently great food and coffee. A little gem with a great patio and Josh is helpful and professional. read more

Great concept - terrible business practice when a client asks for one products, receives a different product, politely asks for a fix and rather than being provided the desired product is directed to order more clearly next time and have a glass of water. IMO there are lots of great coffee venues and treating customers correctly (i.e., providing the product requested) differentiates the best from the rest. Anyway, they kept the money, we pitched the coffee so I guess they "win", for now : / read more

I had a traditional iced mocha. The mocha was good enjoyed the beach view and free WiFi. The coffee ship gets pretty busy.

Part of my daily routine great coffee! The live music on Sunday with Jefferson Washington is a great way to spend the morning!!! Her staff was friendlier but they seem to be coming around! Overall no complaints read more

Visiting from Lafayette, La where we like our java and our pour overs. Great java and atmosphere.

Great coffee, but seriously... 25 minutes for a bagel when it isn't that busy is just ridiculous...

Really wanted to love the place. However, I got an espresso and watched the barista throwin a whole new bag of coffee into the grinder, and then served an undialed in cup to me. It was thick, black, and over extracted. I think there is potential, however the baristas really need to get a little more intense with their craft. read more

Roberts N.'s review is bogus. He wasn't even in Coffee Coffee yesterday when that incident occurred, because I was there for a while and never saw him. I'm sure he's either made up or is writing the review for a "friend". This friend is a local troublemaker who works at Rhino Art, lives in his creepy white van covered in surf stickers, and harasses local businesses. (Example: sits at Lofty Bean and after hitting on the female employees, hassles them for not giving him free coffee). He's well known in the area. For the purpose of setting the record straight, let's call him Dick. Dick had been there for a while freeloading the wifi. We were sitting behind him and noticed him once again lurking around the shop, downloading what looked like porn, and not buying any coffee or food (we go there pretty often, and we see his usual pattern). He was sitting at the bar. The owner had noticed that Dick had parked like a douchbag, taking up two spots in the tiny parking lot. He came over and very quietly said he noticed Dick was in the shop for a few hours that day, and asked him to park across the street if he was going to be in the shop for hours, since they try to have those spots open for customers going in and out, deliveries, etc. It was pretty quiet. We only heard because we were totally eavesdropping, hoping they would kick creepy Dick out. Dick gets angry, and curses at the owner. The owner is very nice but firm. Dick then runs after the owner, and has some altercation with him, and then the owner told him to leave (YAY!!!). Dick curses, flips the bird, says something like "you're gonna be sorry, you don't know who I am" (yes, we do, you live in that van over there), and then leaves and slams the door. He freaked out the customers who heard the whole thing, but they were fine since he left, and we were stoked he finally got booted. We began talking about whether Dick was crazy enough to actually do something, and after while came up with a couple options: vandalism, coming back and making a scene, or being a chicken and writing nasty online reviews. I looked, and shocker: there it was. I don't normally write reviews, but the story had to be told. Five stars and huge props to the owner for being super nice and professional, even when having to confront an aggro creep. I appreciate someone who looks out for all of his customers. read more

Life is short, don't drink crappy coffee (I.e. Starbucks). While not the best latte I've ever had it was certainly in the upper echelon. Great fair trade coffee served with friendly service in a very relaxed environment. I recommend taking a few minutes to sit outside on the patio near the ocean and enjoy a quality cup of joe. read more

Cafe Ipe has made a brilliant move by hiring Miracles Jose. Those of you who frequented Miracles Cafe prior to its closing will remember him. Master in the kitchen, always on his game. We can expect great things from this. read more

Coffee...Great - Service...Awful This could be such a fantastic little spot. It's cozy and has great coffee. I guess it is why I continued to go in even with the terrible service. It comes down to the little surfer punks behind the counter. I understand that it is hard to hire great service members at a little coffee shop but at least get someone friendly. A previous reviewer put it perfectly. It is like they are doing you a favor. My wife loves their white coconut cream tea. She prefers it iced. Every time she orders it iced the barista has to make a big deal about it. As if we have asked them to perform a miracle. I have been in there dozens of times and not once has anyone smiled at me. I guess I'm not cool enough to order coffee from them. There's a reason why Lofty Coffee has a line out the door throughout the day. They welcome customers in and make them feel comfortable. Every time I am in Cafe Ipe I feel like I'm in somebody's way at all times. You can have the best product in the world but at the end of the day it comes down to the customer. read more

Unfortunately I have to give a bad review to such a lovely location. Anyhow during lunch I ordered a cesar salad, breakfast croissant with turkey for my husband and 2 coffees. Total bill was $24+ (for avocado addition they asked $1.50). For the price I was expecting a high quality, healthy meal. We received very boring, flavourless salad and the sandwich (they switch to a multigrain bread since they runout of croissants) which came with the lowest quality, gross ingredients: cheese was one of those "cheese like" product squares (similar to Kraft cheese) and a turkey slices of a cheapest lunch meet quality, eggs (we couldn't even tell if there were real eggs) and a tomato. Everything tasted as if I bought my lunch at 7/11 or a gas station with the huge price difference. WOW! WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT considering I could get a healthy equivalent for a better price at the Whole Foods Market few blocks away. read more

I had such a great breakfast sandwich on Thursday (I had the Dawn Patrol, add bacon), I went back Saturday for another. I was told on Saturday that they couldn't add bacon. When I told them I was just there 2 days ago and had no problem adding bacon to my BREAKFAST sandwich (bacon is a part of many people's breakfast), they said you must have had another cook that day and they couldn't do it. OKAY-well, then I'll just order a side of bacon and place it on the sandwich myself. (Not sure why putting bacon on my sandwich when it is just sitting in the kitchen already cooked is such a difficult request.) They told me they don't sell sides of bacon. WHAT? 2 days ago I can get bacon on my BREAKFAST sandwich, and today I can't? Shame on you Cafe Ipe for taking such a simple request and refusing it. I was even willing to PAY for it. The last time I checked, customer service was part of running a business. I wasn't asking for some strange request. You have bacon, I wanted some on my sandwich. Your rigidity was such a turn off, and I WILL NOT BE BACK. Fortunately for you, the location is great and people like coffee shops in Leucadia and Encinitas. If you were located anywhere else with this attitude, you'd be out of business quickly. By the way, I agree with Lauren's review. You are also insanely slow and need to get it together at your front counter. People were waiting forever while the cashier stopped taking orders to clean out the iced tea dispenser. Really? We were dumbfounded from the moment we walked in. Having been in the business for 15 years, and my husband still being in it, we truly were perplexed. GOOD RIDDENS! Oh, by the way, thanks to the PANNIKIN down the street for a great breakfast sandwich (that allowed me to add items on for a small fee). Imagine that--catering to the customer. read more

Terrible... Messed up my order. Took over an hour to get it replaced and then it STILL wasn't right. And not a single apology.

VG's doughnuts, check. Hot coffee served up with a friendly smile, check (what a welcome change from another coffee shop's morning attitude - but we won't name names)! Working from home just around the corner makes this a welcome addition to the hood. Now they just need to get some beers on tap in the evening, and I'll never have to leave the bubble. read more

Great little spot! Food was delicious and fresh! This place was connected to a surf shop next door and offers a large patio for lounging . It's also dog friendly the coffee was alright.... but kudos for roasting in house. Self serve/counter. read more

Been buying coffee from Dan for the couple months now for my business and it is top-notch quality. There is a time of variety from light to dark roasts. He has been super helpful and informative and he gives great customer service. read more

Just had the best bagel on 101 at Cafe Ipe. If you have not been to Cafe Ipe, you are missing out on a great experience, especially on a warm summer morning. Nice vibe, great outdoor patio, fantastic fresh roasted coffee and, of course reasonable. I like our Pannikin, but this is a whole different experience. Strongly suggest you give it a try. read more

I love to sit on their patio to savor their wonderful latte and croissant and afterwards to read. It's my favorite place to hang out in the mornings. read more

Ok coffee, great location. Jose is amazing but the rest of the staff is so slow and they don't really care. I've had to remind staff on multiple occasions that I had ordered food because they forgot. read more

Great coffee spot with a great outdoor seating atmosphere. Smaller menu of food items but a good selection for a cafe. Everyone we take is impressed with the coffee. read more

great coffee and food. the reason for 3 stars is the staff could not be ruder. every time we come they get worse and worse. i hope the owner reads this and helps with the customer service. read more

Oh no ! Another good coffee venue that now has changed to selling trendy, sour "Third wave" espressos !

Great coffee shop in Leucadia on the 101. Excellent coffee as well as a simple food menu with delicious options. Nice outdoor seating area with shade and close walk to Beacons Beach. read more
