SLOW DOWN AND BREATHE It's the kind of place that naturally slows you down--an easy morning or afternoon refuge where expertly brewed coffee, refreshing drinks, and thoughtfully made treats invite you to linger. FEED YOUR SWEET TOOTH The glass case greets you like a siren song, filled with organic and indulgent pastries whose aromas are as irresistible as the sandy beach stretching just across the street. FUEL YOUR BODY And it's not all sweets. Lofty also serves hearty, satisfying food that actually fills you up and delivers on flavor for more discerning tastes. FEEL THE COASTAL VIBE You'll find yourself among locals and travelers alike--many of whom wish they lived here, in the kind of coastal town that Lofty helps make feel like home. And, Parking and service are above average for the area.

Given its history starting as a small cafe, I was expecting something with a little more charm, but it gave me more polished coffee chain vibes than I expected. Maybe they are going for organic Blue Bottle energy, but it did not quite get there for me. Coffee was fine, but overall it was a bit of a letdown.

Outdoor seating are available. There is no bathroom. We parked in the residential area. The menu includes; açai bowls, smoothies, latte, coffee, specialty lattes, gold brews, retail coffee,matcha, seasonal drinks, tea. In addition to their fresh bakery. We ordered; -Monkey business Matcha 5/5 It's coconut syrup and banana cold foam. The drink had unique taste, with adequate sweetness, rich flavor and creaminess. -Banana bread latte 5/5 Brown sugar, banana cream and foam, nutmeg and cinnamon. The drink was refreshing. The mixture of the creamy banana and the brown sugar gave the drink a unique and rich flavor -Coconut Caramel cookie 5/5 My goodness! That was indulgent, buttery,and had the perfect texture. -Banana Nutella muffins 5/5 The muffin was moist and rich in banana flavor then the center had rich and gooey chocolate. It was heavenly! The staff were very welcoming and genuinely warm. The service was really fast. Definitely, I will be back to try their açai bowls and order more drinks.

Might seem like a small unsuspecting place that serves coffee but if you take a closer look you will see that they roast their own beans in the back and the espresso equipment they use is top tier (La Marzocco). Super friendly and helpful staff especially Giana. Coffee is amazing and much better than other places on the same street and elsewhere. Had an oat milk cappuccino and also tried their turmeric and ginger drink. I saw that a lot of their ingredients are made in house. This is definitely a place that's more about the coffee and the community vibe.

To start, the employees here are so sweet! There are so many seating options inside, outside, and even an additional seating area in a more quiet and secluded room. I was a little nervous that the wheat alternatives would be bland or dry and hard, but everything was delicious! I ordered the Veggie Lovers pizza with vegan mozzarella and ricotta on a paleo crust. I was pleasantly surprised by how soft and flavorful the crust was! The vegan cheeses were also exceptional and the entire pizza was cooked perfectly. The tortillas that they use for the tacos are good as well. Whether you are gluten-free, vegan, trying to eat healthier, or simply accompanying a friend, Nectarine Grove has something for everyone!

They also had a good selection of pastries and by mid morning, several sold out, so they just be pretty good! And a good selection of grab and go breakfast food also rounded out the menu. Lastly the staff were nice! Very friendly and welcoming! I visit Encinitas 4-5 times a year and this will definitely be on my rotation of coffee houses to stop at now!

I visited their location  in Encinitas today to meet a friend and unfortunately had a very…read moredisappointing experience. I ordered the Greek scramble, which comes with a bagel. When my food arrived, the bagel had visible mold on it. It was very concerning that this wasn't caught before being served. I brought it to the attention of the staff member who delivered the food. Instead of taking the plate back and replacing the meal, he simply removed the bagel from my plate and brought another one. Given the situation, I would have expected the entire dish to be remade. Additionally, the coffee mug I was given appeared dirty, which added to my concerns about overall cleanliness. I later felt sick and experienced symptoms consistent with food poisoning, possibly related to the meal. For the quality of food and service provided, the pricing felt unreasonably high. The overall experience did not reflect the cost. I'm really disappointed with the lack of quality control and how the situation was handled. I hope management takes food safety, cleanliness, and customer service more seriously moving forward.

I went twice with my family in two consecutive days. For the first visit, we ordered: -Ham & Cheese empanada -Baco Egg & cheese empanada -Sausage egg & cheese empanada -Pour over Coffee with cream and sugar -Coffee Mojito Their coffee Mojito is their signature drinks. It was very refreshing, creamy and perfectly sweetened. It was just a delightful drink. Their empanadas were very fresh, savory, flavorful, flaky, and golden. There was explosion of flavors in every bite of each type of empanadas. We ordered the same empanadas and drinks for the second time too. The staff were energetic and friendly. The service was fast. It is a great place to stop by if you are craving empanadas or refreshing drinks. You will get an excellent service too.

But the vibes inside proved to definitely be a locals only spot. We felt very out of place, the inside was not inviting at all.
