    The staff here are the most friendly I have ever encountered. The food is great and the coffee drinks are as well. This should be everyones go to in Encinitas.

    My wife and I stopped by here for a cappucino and we thought it was a great, indulgent cup of a coffee and a delightful place to drink it. The woman behind the counter who served us was very warm and friendly. When I started to hunt for the wifi password one of the guests kindly told me what it was and where to find it --- so a really nice vibe in the cafe. The decor was standout: one wall painted with flying seagulls. Just what you need from a cafe: a nice respite from the outside world. Their food looked great too --- maybe on the next visit I'll give it a try.

    Egg and cheese bagel
    Amanda B.

    Great coffee, food, and chill vibe. The service was fast, but there was a long line waiting to order. We had a delicious egg and cheese bagel and chocolate croissant. The sauce on the bagel was a little spicy, but so delicious! We will definitely be back soon!

    Da kine açaí bowl ... very disappointing
    Valerie E.

    The bowl wasn't filled and I went based on the photo on yelp. Totally disappointed. I've gone to other locations before and was very happy but I wanted to try this place if your going to get a ti go order don't it's not worth it

    Let me start by saying...any place that allows dogs inside, welcomes then and HAS A water bowl for the furry cuties, say NO MORE. You can have our money. We immediately were drawn in. Carlos was so friendly! He filled up the water bowl for Pumba and he was hydrated while we enjoyed our breakfast..which was oh so delicious. The Java Hut was POPPIN on a Sunday. Can't speak on parking, because we parked far and walked, get those steps in girl but it is on a busy street in the cute beach town of Encinitas. Love that because you grab yourself a bite to eat. Enjoy the cute ambiance and sit inside OR go take a scenic walk. I did both. The menu is simple, has all the good breakfast tingz. $10 will get you a basic breakfast place. The eggs were delish and the bacon was that real thick cut bacon. Beautiful location and we would definitely be back!

    Local on croissant
    Breanna W.

    I got an iced coffee with vanilla, could not taste any of the vanilla. But I also got the local's sandwich and the breakfast burrito and they were so delicious. My sandwich, on croissant, had tomato and avocado with egg and bacon. The shop was small and service was quick. Definitely recommend stopping in for a quick bite.

    Cafe au lait
    Jyothi S.

    A cute place to stop to sit and enjoy some coffee. Wouldn't recommend ordering food if you're in a hurry. A take out order for a bagel and a smoothie took 25+ minutes to be ready. The coffee au lait part of the order was prepared right after we paid which was nice to have while we waited. The everything bagel + cream cheese was standard, and from a New Yorker's perspective, light-handed with the cream cheese. Overall a nice place to sit with a coffee and company. Not the place to go if you're in a hurry to grab and go with something quick.

    Coffee

    Very friendly staff, coffee is a bit acidic and a tad weak like in every coffee shop in usa except Starbucks but they are next level over roasted and too hot. If you want good coffee, make it yourself. The music is a tad outdated and depressing. Great location and atmosphere.

    Who doesn't love a good diner? Peek inside and the place looks like it stepped out of the distant…read morepast, maybe the 1950s or the 1960s. 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. If you live here, you already pay the Sunshine Tax so get your money's worth and sit outside, if you can. 10 stars.

    Best eggs Benedict in town by far choose anyone of several varieties of these Benedict and you will…read moreget a taste treat you'll remember for a long time, looks like an old-time diner for sure, the service is always great.
