First of all, the service was outstanding. Kind waiter, friendly table side courtesy, and frequent check ins throughout the visit. Secondly, the menu has serious range... from Benedict sandwiches to omelets to crepes and so much more. Get your French food fix here! Lastly, the prices are reasonable, especially for the authenticity of the food and the quality of the atmosphere. The place doesn't exude sophistication. Instead, it offers a relaxed place to have a high-quality meal or a quick coffee and a delicious pastry to go. With easy parking and a clean bathroom, it's hard to argue with Versailles for a nice brunch with a good friend. Don't miss it!

I ordered a 12oz hot left coast latte (which has caramel) and substituted oat milk. This latte was excellent and very much enjoyed it. I also ordered a vegan jalapeño everything galette. Initially, I thought it was a bialy and was really hoping it was one but a galette worked also. It was tasty but was just a tad underwarmed and needed maybe one more minute in the toaster. They have clean bathrooms here too, if you need to use the loo. They have nice seating on their porch like area and also there is a courtyard too right out front facing a fountain. A great place to grab a cup of joe and a snack! They also sent me a $5 off coupon after I visited, so I'll definitely come back for sure! Great spot in Encinitas, very much enjoyed my Sunday morning here!

This location is right in the center of so much Solana Beach activity offering plenty to do and see around this cafe that makes it an even better stop. Really easy to order and although the line may look long, they are usually quite fast. Worth the wait too! I recently had their cherry bomb latte and my husband had their vanilla latte. His vanilla latte was top tier but I absolutely love the cherry bomb latte. Cherry and coffee go together much better than expected. Their butter croissant was heaven. Just the fluffiest layers and delicious!

This would have been an average San Diego coffee shop experience for me, except for the fact that I absolutely LOVED the cherry bomb! It's a cherry mocha and essentially a perfect drink for me. Back in 2019, Starbucks had a seasonal cherry mocha for Valentine's Day that I was obsessed with. Apparently I was the only one, because they haven't brought it back since. Cherry mochas are hard to come by, and I haven't really encountered another one. This one was delicious! The espresso was bold, the milk perfectly creamy, and the overall taste not too sweet (unlike Starbucks'). Wow!! I can already tell this will be a drink I daydream about. Unfortunately it was $7.50, which will prevent me from indulging very regularly. The rest of the menu is pricey too, with avocado toasts nearly reaching $20. (I may be a millennial, but I can certainly understand the negative stereotype when I see coffee shop prices like these.) Besides pricing, the other downside of this place is the limited seating. There were only 4 small outdoor tables, so unless you're with just one other person and you arrive before 10am, I'd suggest grabbing your coffee to go and taking a walk. My friend and I sat down, since there were open tables when we arrived. She enjoyed her iced honey cinnamon latte. If you love a cherry mocha or are looking for coffee in the design district, definitely come through!

I opted for soy chorizo breakfast tacos and a cappuccino. The breakfast tacos were essentially flavorless. The soy chorizo had almost not flavor, not even salt it seemed. I finished them all because I was very hungry, but otherwise, I would not get this again and felt that the price does not reflect the quality of food. The espresso in the cap tasted over extracted, so I didn't really enjoy it. Overall, k didn't like the coffee or the food I had. I would not come again unless they improved. I did like that the wait wasn't TOO bad and they have lots of seating.

Mike and the entire team at Dreamwave are doing such an incredible job of making the experience worth every penny. The quality of the coffee, the work they do, and the service they provide is truly top tier. While they do have a lot of fun flavors, this is not the kind of place that drowns the palate with sweetness. They expertly balance the ratio of syrup, milk, and espresso to provide the best outcome. The nuttiness of their roast really shines, and they're always happy to adjust the sweetness if you need them to. Personally, I love the lower sweetness level being the default. These guys know what they're doing! We've been visiting for the past week and have stopped through Dreamwave four times this week. While I'm always in the need of a coffee fix, we've gone out of our way to visit multiple times because the people have been so beyond kind. We've sampled most of the house flavors and I can confidently say they have all been delicious. This would definitely be my go-to shop if I lived nearby.
