    Stopped by on a Saturday morning -- this café shares its space with a deli sandwich shop. They have their own parking lot, which was super convenient, and plenty of outdoor patio seating along with some indoor tables. The menu looked great, and they also had a nice selection of pastries. Unfortunately, they didn't have "for here" cups for my latte, and the butter croissant was just okay. It was also quite noisy inside, mostly from the baristas, which made it hard to sit and relax.

    I was in a pinch and needed a snack during an appointment. Luckily Queenstage was within walking distance on Coast Hwy. Queenstage is a cute coffee shop attached to the biker's favorite Moto Deli. Unfortunately they don't serve food past 11 which was disappointing - but you can always go to Moto if you are hungry. The shop itself was super cute, clean and well decorated. It wasn't that busy on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk and also had a croissant. The croissant was a little bit stale but had good flavor. The matcha was good too. I'd definitely return to try the breakfast and other latte items!

    Message to the business owner: please train your employees to be courteous even if fake, customers are used to smiling customer service. After all this is Enchanting Encinitas! I found this coffee shop while looking for coffee in Encinitas area. I found it cool and hip and love the walls painting with those green leaves. That was the only inviting thing in this place. I ordered me stuff and showed the barista my 10% discount after checking on Yelp and she said 'no, we don't take coupons'. I told her well why do you guys advertise on yelp, you have to honor what you promise. She keeps refusing giving me excuses that there have been numerous changes in ownership. I don't need to know that, that is not my business ans in my opinion that should not be discussed with customers because not only gives bad vibes but also makes you think: so you are telling me the previous owners were more generous. Then she called the owner and after speaking to him she accepted the Yelp discount. No smiles, bad attitude, no sorry for the misunderstanding. Then she said but just for this time. Then i told her well tell your manager to put it down from Yelp because it misleads customers. And she goes and blasts the 'i don't care, I just work here'. Wow. I wanted to leave immediately after hearing that.

    This place it's very cute! The baristas are friendly and attentive and the coffee is good--we had iced honey vanilla lattes. They were the perfect level of sweetness. Not crowded for a Tuesday summer morning. Lots of locals and cyclists stopping by and very easy to find parking!

    Friendly and chill environment, 40% off pastries after 12 pm, and yummy drinks! I love the variety of customers that come through.

    Special toast. YES!

    Kids treat for brunch today. "You want special toast?" Well. It was an easy wait. 101 on a Sunday is entertainment in itself. Lots of puppy's. Bikes. Sunshine Special toast could not have been any better.

    Very cute shop in Encinitas blocks away from the ocean! Super friendly and happy baristas serve good coffee and sell pastries and cookies! Stop by as I was exploring the coast for a quick coffee fix! Cookies were delicious! On a flip side Queenstage is super small and shares bathroom with three other businesses...

    Tucked inside the Moto Deli on the left-hand side, Queenstage is such a hidden gem in Encinitas! Whether you're in the mood to chill inside or soak up the sun outside, they've got plenty of seating options for both. Coffee: 10/10 -We tried the Honnoman and a mocha, and wow--they were both incredible. Super smooth, perfectly balanced, and the espresso really shines through in the best way. The oat milk was just right and blended so nicely. Honestly, some of the best drinks I've had in a while. *Their menu is stacked with awesome options, both for coffee and food. It's not just about the drinks here--they've got a full-on café vibe going. Service: 10/10 -The service was also top-notch. The woman who helped us was so sweet and genuinely friendly. She asked about our day and what we had planned--it really added such a warm personal touch to the whole experience. Coffee Shop Vibes: 10/10 -The shop itself is super cute and clean with a chill boho aesthetic--lots of greenery on the walls and subtle, stylish décor that makes it feel cozy but modern. Highly recommend checking this spot out if you're in the area--definitely one of Encinitas' little treasures!

    I thought I was lost at first at the Moro Cafe, but Queenstage is inside the Cafe to the right! I ordered a flat white and a special toast. The coffee may be small, but it packs a punch! The toast did not disappoint, & had a generous serving of salmon with it. Gentle spice with great flavor, but probably not for grandma (if your granny is like mine and is a little sensitive lol). I squeezed in right before their kitchen closed at 1:30pm, so be sure to give the kitchen time to clean up before closing time. It's a small business, so let's be extra cool to the chefs who make it happen! The barista's can keep making coffee until 2:30pm. The ambiance is very hipster, chill. The ladies on the staff team staff were all bilingual in Spanish & English today, which is totally awesome! There is free WiFi, but it is a little too loud to take work calls. Great spot for answering emails or working on a solo project!

    specialty toast and a flat white

    We had breakfast at queenstage coffee house. location was a bit odd, it's also a part of a sandwich and bike shop of the main street. There was only one or two seats inside but they had picnic tables out by the street. I had the tiramisu coffee which was great, and I also had the breakfast sandwich on a croissant with bacon. It was super flakey and delicious, I thought the sandwich would maybe have more than just egg and bacon, it wasn't super filling but it was good nonetheless. My mom had the speciality toast which she said was fantastic. I wish the atmosphere was more cute and cozy than picnic tables off the highway but the food was good, we were the only ones there so the service was pretty quick. I'd recommend if you needed a quick bite to eat if you're in the area!

    Matcha Latte

    Can't speak to the coffee but a really solid matcha latte!! Such a cute location tucked between motodeli and bike shop. Loved the decor for Valentines. Good service with some cute little tables to sit at but limited seating.

    Hot Vanilla Latte

    Easily one of the best lattes I've had in so long! I always go out of my way to stop by this place. Quaint spot with so much seating.

    Smoked salmon, eggs, avocado slices, arugula and baby sprouts.

    Unfortunately Queenstage Coffee House changed management and menu. My favorite plate is no longer offered. Sadly, we will not be returning.

    Fun Fact: "Manna" means an unexpected blessing, especially in a time of need! Atelier Manna was…read morecreated by Michelin-rated Chef Andrew Bachelier and his wife Larah as a creative workshop where food, art, wellness and community all come together. - Located in Leucadia, Atelier Manna is definitely not your typical brunch spot. It feels part restaurant, part art studio, part wellness experiment, and I mean that in the best way. The space is intimate and eclectic, with cookbooks, ceramics, artwork, salvaged materials and little pieces collected from the owners' travels throughout the space. You can tell there was a lot of thought put into making it feel personal rather than overly polished. Parking is do-able across the street by train , or on the street or surrounding neighborhoods. Best time to come when its not busy is W or TH morning! And then there's the food. We started with the Turkish eggs, soft poached eggs sitting over herbed yogurt, chili garlic butter and herbs with toast. The combination of the cool, tangy yogurt with the garlicky, slightly spicy butter was SO good. The toast is basically mandatory because you're going to want to swipe up every last bit of that sauce. P.S. dish comes with two eggs but you can order an extra egg if you have more people. The steak & tortilla was another standout. Snake River Farms zabuton steak with Spanish tortilla, black garlic romesco and Jimmy Nardello peppers. The steak was tender and cooked beautifully, but what really made the dish for me was the black garlic romesco. Rich, savory and slightly sweet, it tied everything together. And then came the torrija, Spanish-style French toast. This is not your basic brunch French toast. It's made with thick-cut sourdough, saffron vanilla, peach leaf oil, stone fruit and whipped labneh. The outside had that delicious caramelized/crispy texture while the inside was soft and custardy. The labneh was also such a good addition because it gave the dish a little tang to balance out the sweetness. Definitely a dish I'd order again. But we can't forget the drinks because Atelier Manna takes their non-alcoholic beverage program VERY seriously. Their "vitality tonics" are basically zero-proof cocktails with a wellness twist, and they are way more interesting than your standard juice or mocktail. I got the Mentawai: coconut, cold-infused green tea, lime leaf, pandan and astragalus, force carbonated. Light, refreshing and slightly tropical with enough acidity to keep it from tasting like straight coconut water. My friend got the Goldenrod, made with clarified cucumber, turmeric, honey and long pepper. Very refreshing and earthy with a little sweetness. Another friend went with the cold brew, which was smooth and fruity with a creamy body. I really appreciated that the drinks weren't just an afterthought. They actually felt like part of the experience. Overall, Atelier Manna is one of those places where you can tell the people behind it genuinely care about the details. The menu is creative without feeling like it's trying too hard, the space is unique and inviting, and the food manages to be indulgent while still incorporating a lot of fresh, thoughtful ingredients. Definitely a brunch spot worth the drive up to Leucadia, especially if you want something a little different from the usual eggs + mimosa situation.

Our food was so delicious and although the servings might appear on the smaller side, they're very filling and left us perfectly satiated. The Turkish eggs were incredible and they don't skimp on herbs, I loved it. My friend ordered the French toast and he said it was good, though he found the outside a bit too tough (like the outside of a well baked cinnamon roll). This would be a great place to do shared plates and we'll be back again!

It mixes industrial and classic touches with cozy leather booths, stylish décor, and an open, lively energy that still feels relaxed. It's polished enough for a special occasion but comfortable enough to linger over one more coffee, think business casual vibes. If the weather's nice, the patio is a great option too. The real MVP was our server, Katelynn. She handled all 8 of us by herself the entire time and never missed a beat. Our drinks were always fresh, and she stayed a step ahead of the table. Great solo performance. I split two entrées with my bro, which I highly recommend if you can't decide: California Burrito: Very savory, with creative sauces that set it apart from the usual breakfast burrito. Eggs Benedict: Well put together with quality ingredients. It's a classic done right. Potatoes: Fresh and delicious. I don't normally care for breakfast potatoes, and these still won me over. We left full, happy, and already planning a return trip. Bonus: The Forum Carlsbad shops are right nearby if you want to walk it off afterward, which we did. Cheers!

Its a very cute and charming patio and seating areas inside and out, and was lively. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the ambience as we found it very bland, re-heated type. Service was good, but couldn't figure out why food was so off and tasteless. The Birria Eggrolls sounded divine but had that reheated vibe and texture. Was very underwhelming in terms of taste and crispness. Meat and cheese looked like it was faded/left out after cooked or reheated. We then split a seafood enchilada plate and it was completely devoid of any taste; barely any seafood in it, just 2 heavy thick smelly corn tortillas, the rubbery kind that's served at Rubios locations (are they still in business?) I love me some corn tortillas, but not these rubber mat-thick ones, the light fluffy corn ones. $40 hefty price tag wasn't close to delivering on any point value or taste wise. We asked for the beans on the side, and I have to say odd as it is, it was the best refried beans Ive ever tasted in my life. Asked for some house chips (I guess they dont bring unless you ask here and zero accompanying salsa I mean really?) got a small portion to dip in the bean spread; it was the best part of the meal, and it shouldnt have been. Basically, blew a C-note just to find out Sharkey's has much better tasting food. A one and easy done for us, too bad.

Surely they are masters at greasy bacon and eggs, day old coffee, and probably little else. Wrong. Very wrong. This place may look a little ordinary from the outside but there is nothing ordinary about it. It may look like a classic diner inside but it does not sling food like an old diner. The menu is well-written and the food is high quality, excellent, and borderline gourmet. Do not order eggs, bacon, and toast here. Swing for the cheap seats. We tried the Ham, Avocado and Tomato Eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was fantastic. If I didn't care about remaining somewhere under 350 pounds, I would return every Saturday and eat my way through every single eggs benedict concoction on the menu and there are many such benedict creations from which to choose. The Banana Nutella crepe, with "whip" cream (not "whipped," apparently, we're gentle with our cream here, folks), was decadent. If you like your breakfasts on the sweet side, you will enjoy this one. The Tres Porkitos omelet (made with ham, bacon, sausage, and cheese) was hearty and just as good as it sounds. The breakfast potatoes were very nicely done but could have used a little more seasoning. There is a salt shaker (and numerous hot sauces) on the table for just these types of emergencies. Do NOT leave here without getting a freshly-made biscuit with butter and honey on the side. You have made a serious error in judgment if you leave without getting one of these. Even the freshly-squeezed orange juice was delicious. Our server was wonderful. No complaints. They have dining inside or on the patio. Encinitas is a delightful community. While I loved the old school diner feel inside, you cannot go wrong with the people watching outside on one of our almost always sunny days in So Cal.
