The space is airy and bright, and the service is consistently friendly, so I'll give them that! Loved the Buddha Bowl (Açaí topped with paleo granola, peanut butter, cacao nibs, blueberries, bananas, strawberries, chocolate spread, coconut chips and raw local honey) - take my money, you bad boy - but can't see myself ordering the Dragon Bowl again (Blended dragon fruit, raspberry, mango and almond milk. Topped with granola, strawberry, blueberry, lotus pollen and coconut shreds) which didn't taste as distinctive as its description. Similarly, I found the Garden Matcha Latte (Ceremonial grade matcha, coconut whip, maple syrup, coconut cloud cold foam, choice of milk) a worthy choice but the Peanut Butter Chocolate (Banana, peanut butter, raw chocolate plant protein, raw cacao, almond milk) rather pedestrian. Your taste buds may vary!

Service is super nice, extra chill, very helpful. they offer samples of all the pressed juices. The place is a little pricey but worth it to me. Located in a small strip mall just off the 101. Parking is limited but never that bad.

I visited Kini Koffee for the first time while spending time in Del Mar. Kini Koffee is located on…read morethe rooftop of The Plaza. Parking is available on the street or there's a parking structure that you have to pay for. Kini Koffee has a small menu but has all the common coffee drinks and a seasonal menu. I ordered from the seasonal menu and loved my drink. It was a great combination of espresso flavor and peppermint. The other seasonal drinks sounded great. There were a few breakfast items available and a few pastries. We had the chocolate muffin and although it was very good, I don't think I would pay $7.70 for it again. The employee was very friendly. I enjoyed our visit and would recommend Kini Koffee!

The vibe here was very much "please do not talk to me while I'm making somebody else's coffee until…read moreI tell you I'm ready to take your order." I like supporting the little single-server coffee cart and cafe places because they are the little guys, but this felt less welcoming neighborhood coffee spot and more like I was bothering someone by ordering coffee. The coffee itself was okay. I ordered a cold brew, so it wasn't exactly a high maintenance request either.

Okay so I went to Cargo Cafe after a doctors appointment and first off just know you might get a…read morelittle lost pulling up. It is tucked inside a business complex and not super obvious at first. You kind of have to go toward the roundabout and it is on the right side. I definitely circled for a second like wait where is this place. Parking is a little iffy too but they do have two designated spots if you can grab one. But once you find it, it is actually such a cute spot. The vibe is really chill, not over the top, just a nice little place to sit and decompress. It feels like a hidden gem which I kind of love. I went on a Wednesday and they had a buy a drink get a pastry free deal which already sold me. And the pastries are actually so good. Like not just cute good, actually good. The empanadas did not disappoint at all. Coffee was solid, everything felt fresh, and the whole place just has a nice calm energy. It is the kind of spot you go to after an appointment or when you just need a minute to yourself. I would definitely come back, now that I actually know where it is. Just be prepared to hunt for it a little the first time and maybe get lucky with parking.

There is also a very large outdoor patio perfect for coffee break or lunch in a quiet setting. Cafe offers lots of crafted coffee drinks, blended drinks like smoothies and acai bowls. I really appreciate finding a coffee shop that offers a decent breakfast menu without over-the-top prices. It's the perfect spot for a high-quality, reliable morning meal. it looks like they also offer a pretty extensive lunch menu. Its nice to see a woman-owned business thriving in this space. I'll definitely be coming back again to support them. (ps.. please bring back the eggs bites!)

If you're looking for a relaxed, charming brunch spot in Del Mar that feels like a little hidden…read moregarden, Stratford Court Café is the spot! The courtyard patio is the star here! It's the kind of place where you linger over coffee without feeling rushed. You order at a counter and they bring you your food at your table. The food is fairly standard café breakfast and lunch fare, but it is all done very well. I come here pretty often for weekend brunch and you can't go wrong with their breakfast sandwiches and scrambles! They give pretty generous portions without being heavy. The coffee drinks are all solid and service was friendly in that laid-back way. It can get pretty busy during weekend so be prepared for a long line to order. Because seating is all outside, be prepared in the winter since the shade can make it pretty cold!

That said, the service was great, the ambiance is really cool, and there is plenty of seating which made it a nice spot to hang out for a bit which is why I wanted to return. It's on a quiet side street and was really inviting. I came back again on a Saturday around 1pm, for lunch and it was a beautiful, busy afternoon. We managed to snag the last shaded table, which felt like a win. I ordered the Avocado BLT. It was really good overall. Simple, fresh ingredients, though I think it could have been even better with an extra flavorful spread. The pasta salad on the side was super fresh and honestly delicious. I also loved the tangerine juice. The prices are pretty high, but that's to be expected in a Del Mar. Big bonus points for the free iced tea by the water station. Such a nice touch. Overall a great neighborhood spot with a great vibe. Excited to come back and try more of the menu.

The chicken tequila pasta is absolutely delicious. This is a true local joint that has been around for 20+ years, and if they never change I'll hopefully be buried with my kids tossing an order from them into the casket.

OK SO I WOULD DETOUR EVERY TRIP NORTH WITH A STOP AT THE IRVINE LOCATION FOR THESE DRINKS. Now I…read moreget to detour every trip to Del Mar with a drink. Located in the highly coveted del mar highlands (across from one paseo). there's a plethora of shops/movies/eateries you can go to before or after you get your drink. I can at least for sure say, it's CONSISTENT with the other locations i've been to. drinks taste just as delicious. you can make things easier for yourself and preorder on the app before you get there. service was slooooow. they have a kiosk for you to order by yourself which seems like the only option to really order from. So when you get stuck behind people who don't know what they're doing, it's PAINFUL to watch. I wish their staff would be more open to taking orders at the cashier instead of just standing there. overall experience was fine, i think Irvine location was better though.

I love to do a mobile order to avoid the crazy wait times. They have a mobile pick up section at the front of the store. If you're planning on stopping by definitely preorder! The boba is always fresh. I like to get the brown sugar milk tea. It's not too sweet and made perfectly. My other go to is the Mango Coconut BOOM! This one is my favorite for wanting fresh fruit. It comes with coconut jelly and sago.

So I remembered... good old Jimbo's also has a juice bar! They make it easy to "build your own smoothie" and it was super tasty. I would have liked the option to have 24 oz and not just 16 oz but it was easy, breezy, affordable and tasty. I came at 8:30 pm and they were taking away a lot of the hot food, and the take out fridge was cleaned out of a lot of stuff (like egg salad). I might have gotten soup otherwise too. But they have the dry farmed tomatoes right now, which are always delicious and they weren't crazy expensive. Will come back again!

Paired with the chewy and fresh honey boba, this place is now in my boba rotation! Love the clean, modern vibe of this place and would definitely try some other flavors next time I'm in the area.
