    I came for the grand opening and boy was it crowded. It was later in the day so I can only imagine how busy it was when they opened in the AM. I waited for about 25 minutes. They had menus waiting so you could figure out what you wanted in advance. I wanted an affogato but I was informed they don't do them to go. I was disappointed, but I had to pivot quickly and went for the Goldie. It didn't take very long to come up. I'm not sure if I had the right drink. The color didn't indicate turmeric. It did not taste of tumeric at all, just cinnamon and a lot of sugar. Not my favorite. *Beware if you bring kids here it's very pink (which they may love) and everything is branded with the word b!tch (which you may not). I will come back to try the food and hopefully get my affogato, but I'll wait until it's been open a while

    Parking 5/5 -free plaza parking lot with many spots Service 5/5 -Friendly staff helped with direction to the bathroom that's outside of the restaurant. You order at the counter then take your number to any available seat and food will be delivered there, but you pick up your drinks at the bar when your name is called. For a newly opened BUSY restaurant, we did not wait long for our order and our food arrived hot and fresh. I think it really helped that they have a lot of staff to keep things flowing efficiently. Food 5/5 -Bananarama $8, brown sugar espresso latte with banana cream top, LOVED it. The banana cream top was not overwhelming at all but fragrant, subtle enough that you can keep taking sips and don't feel like you're drowning in sugar. Perfect dose of caffeine if you're not looking to feel jittery all day. I would love to try this again with their matcha option. -Thicky thicc $6, iced americano with vanilla cream, the vanilla cream is so yum and creamy and overall they just have really good quality espresso. It's deep and strong just like how I prefer it, get this if you want to get everything on your to-do list done in one day. -Devilish eggs $9, deviled eggs topped with crispy bacon bits, no notes on the taste except that it's definitely overpriced for 2 whole eggs. -Le omelette $16, decent portion size and had a nice balance with the side arugula salad, omelette is fresh and delicious, I was not crazy impressed but I would get it again. -Double disco $21, this is definitely something I would come here for alone. The pancakes are truly enormous, in the best way. Slightly crispy on the outside, and very soft fluffy HOT on the inside, syrupy and buttery pancake heaven. I would've preferred the syrup on the side because they are so big and I couldn't eat them fast enough before the bottom pancake gets completely soaked and soggy by the syrup, but that's only my personal preference. Overall this is the crowd pleaser for sure! Ambiance 5/5 -The retro decor is definitely the highlight here, everything is right aesthetically, cute cafe to catch up while having food and drinks. Seating available outside as well, no bathroom attached to the restaurant, it's a plaza bathroom around the corner, ask the staff for door code to access.

    My Kustom drink in OC! Teaching the Encinitas location a little secret ;)

    OBSESSED! Lived in OC and lived off of drinking coffee Dose almost daily best coffee place ever with the sweetest customer service ever and this new location is nothing different!! The ambiance is perfection the detail they put into everything is just chefs kiss!! Sweet employees! Great food and drink menu! If you're looking for a secret menu recommendation, ask for my self-proclaimed specialty: an iced green tea with vanilla bean and a splash of oat milk. Trust me--it tastes like heaven in a cup. In OC, it's become known at quite a few locations as the "Kayla Drink," and for good reason! :P

    So excited that coffee dose has finally made their way here! We love their OC location and even more so the space and table availability at the Encinitas location. The menu offerings and collabs make it exciting. The lines are always long, but moves quickly. It gives you time to think about what you want to try. The owner was very active and hands on handing out menus and clearing tables. I am excited to try their cocktails when the permit is approved. The brunch menu all tasted delicious. We shared between 4 people and it left us comfortably full. A must try if you haven't had coffee dose!

    Such a fire place!! The vibe was awesome the store was so cute and omg the coffee and food was delicious def recommend to my friends and i am def coming back soon:)

    Finally!!! A Coffee Dose close to home!! Went opening day and loved it! They were offering waters to the guest in line. Friendly staff at the counter taking orders. The music was just right and playing fun music. I got to meet the owner and she was awesome! So nice and outgoing. Fun little shopping area with coffee grounds/beans, keychains, cup and more to explore! Only thing I'd like to say is. Please think about offering free substitutions. Because I can't have regular milk and I had to pay due to my health issues for oat milk.

    Visited before their grand opening- and absolutely loved it! The vibes are so high and the diner theme is so immersive. I love the countertop with the stools so much. Tried the bananarama with oat milk - highly recommend it's delicious. Then, had the mcmelty. I'm obsessed- it's so yummy. The brioche is sooooo rich. Can't wait to come back!

    Jasmine

    Amazing. Such a cute take on the retro diner concept. The staff was helpful recommending drinks and offering us waters. I really liked the bananarama coffee! The banana flavor was more like fresh banana than the artificial ones (I like those too though haha). Would definitely recommend trying it and just seeing the place for yourself, so cool

    Espresso Bananarama

    Cute new coffee shop in Rancho Santa Fe with a silly aesthetic. You order at the register or the bar for drinks/food. Good coffee with plenty of substitutions as needed. Nice servers and waited less than 10 mins for our order. $33 for 3 coffees and 2 pastries. Pricey, but would come back! Note for vegetarians: fried items are made with beef tallow

    Sandwich

    Came here unexpectedly on grand opening day . Line was about 15 min to order . That was fine got my banana Rama about 5 min after I ordered which was fast . Decor so cute staff so friendly. Here's where I have to say I will not be returning for food here waited 55 min for a breakfast sandwich while people who sat down 30 min after me got their food at the 30 min mark I asked one of the staff they said mine was up next 20 min later right before I was about to walk out I got a the sandwich nothing special . Also I believe the owners family was seated next to me and he tried to take the umbrella I was using for shade for them . I guess if you're only coming for coffee this place makes a good iced coffee . Probably need to work on getting food out sooner . They gave me a token for a free coffee which I probably will not use since I drove an hour to come here

    I LOVE a good themed coffee shop! Such a fun vibe and all of the staff is so friendly. I got the bananarama and it is sosososo delicious. The coffee is a great roast and I'm so excited to come back again and try it for brunch!!

    Coffee Dose -- honestly one of the cutest brunch spots I've been to lately The interior is super stylish and aesthetic -- the whole pink retro vibe is done so beautifully, and every corner looks amazing. The atmosphere is fun, cozy, and perfect for brunch or photos. I tried the Steak & Eggs and it was really good -- the steak was soft, juicy, and cooked perfectly. Also had the Uncle Nicky sandwich and it was insanely delicious. The ciabatta was super fresh, all the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and you can really tell they care about the food here. Great coffee, beautiful design, fresh food, and overall just a really cool vibe. Definitely a place I'd come back to .

    McMelty and Solo Disco

    I was so excited to see a location open in the San Diego area! I've been to a few of their other locations, and this new Encinitas spot definitely didn't disappoint. I ordered the Valley Girl with espresso, and it was absolutely incredible! The cold foam actually tasted like marshmallow, which is rare--so many other coffee shops miss the mark on that. For food, I got the McMelty and split the pancakes. Both were good, but the pancakes absolutely blew me away! Even though it was a busy Sunday morning, the staff was incredibly friendly. The owner was even out on the floor making sure everything ran smoothly and helping the team. A great stop for a sweet treat! I'm so glad they're in the area!

We sat at the bar and had a fantastic time chatting with Nick. He was so friendly and also a fantastic bartender. Gave us lots of recs for San Diego while we were in town. The espresso martinis he made were delicious as well. I think the restaurant is new and is so cute and clean (side note, the wallpaper in the bathroom is so fun I loved it!!!) To eat we ordered the Mezze platter, the crispy Spanish octopus, the snapper ceviche, and the empanadas. We really enjoyed it all. I think we both agreed the octopus was our favorite. If you know me or my reviews, we get octopus every restaurant we go to where it's on the menu. This was the first time we got the more than just the tentacles. I think it was the head as well? It was delicious and so different and tasted great. The dish was really crispy, and the sauce it came with was perfectly paired. My bf didn't like the ceviche as much as I did but I really enjoyed it. It was acidic/limey. I enjoyed it but he said it was okay/ too sour... to each their own! All in all, really enjoyed this restaurant. Would love to come back here, unfortunately we are back in FL, but if we come back to the area we will be back!

    Husband and I came here for the first time to have lunch and were amazed at how wonderful it was!…read moreOur server was prompt and so polite. We got seated quickly in their beautiful outdoor patio area with our 2 pups! The food was absolutely delicious! The wonton tostada, DEFINTELY my favorite!! I wish we got more orders! I was apprehensive about the tangerine in it at first, but it brought such a delicious sweet flavor to the tostada, literally devoured it so fast lol 20/10! The bone marrow quesadillas were good. The bone marrow was juicy, melt in your mouth flavor! I like to add a squeeze of lime on the marrow as well, tastes so good that way. The quesadilla itself was okay, tbh I could've done without it as it wasn't anything amazing. The bulgogi burger is on their monthly special menu! It's listed as sliders but when we came, our server informed us they only have it as a regular burger for the time being which wasn't an issue for us! It was delicious & filled with so much flavor! I loved the crunch from all the veggies inside as well. The fries it came with had some sort of sugar salt which wasn't my favorite, but still good. Overall we had an amazing first experience and will definitely be back & bring our family/friends!

    How to lose a good customer, here you go. I was in Del Mar…read moremeeting a friend and she had lunch today at Salt + Lime. She told me the waiter Omar told her that the girl with the spots in her skin (me) left without paying on May 14th when we were celebrating her birthday and that he was informing her just to let me know that probably they won't let me enter in the restaurant anymore. Well, this is absolutely ridiculous, so NOT true and so insulting. We were celebrating the birthday of that precise friend that told me this and another friend and I told the waiter Alejandro F that we will pay separately for our consumptions and whatever my friend ordered and then whoever was coming to the party later on will pay in whatever way they want. So we clarified we were going to pay separately and then I had to leave early and told Alejandro that my friend will pay for us as we informed to start with. Later that night I asked my friend what was my part and paid her my part. End of story. Now, not only they accuse me but when I talked to the manager over the phone (Omar put me in touch with him) this manager told me he was told and was not accusing me but the group. Well, manager, so your math, I showed the ticket that my friend sent me with the portion we paid and you should train your staff to make sure all the money due is paid at the end of the dinner and not false accusing someone a month later. I have never been so embarrassed in my life and apparently there were $80 missing which is anyways a ridiculous amount considering the many people with have been mentioning this place to and the good word we have put about the music and cozy ambiance. This is not the way to treat customers. No apologies, no maybe is OUR misunderstanding due to OUR bad management and our inabilility to do the math. Please change attitude and processes and stop accusing people of something they haven't done.
