    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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...

    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!

    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.

    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.

    On our way to San Diego we looked up a coffee shop and decided that to stop by . This place was super nice inside . We go there every 8:30 in the morning the staff was not very friendly. The food is a little pricey. We tried the matcha is good , they did not have a lot of options for flavors. Tried the chia pudding it was really fresh. The avocado toast was okay the Portion small the bread wasn't too good. The place had seating outside with shade. The restrooms were clean .

You can taste the quality in every cup, and the drinks overall are excellent. That said, my Red light it's really expensive for most people, so it feels more like a treat than an everyday stop. The one area they could improve is the service. The staff sometimes feel a bit rushed and not super helpful, especially if you're new or asking questions about their drinks. They don't always take the time to explain things. To be honest it's more like they just want to take your order and move on to the next customer. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5. Great drinks and quality beans make it worth visiting, but the higher prices and inconsistent service keep it from being a regular favorite for me. If you love good coffee and don't mind paying a premium with okay service, it's still worth checking out.
