I ordered a vanilla iced latte and they nailed it -- the vanilla flavor was balanced really well with the espresso and wasn't overly sweet. The coffee itself tasted smooth and fresh.

Stopped by yesterday to try this coffee shop and overall had a great experience. One thing I really…read moreappreciate is that their flavors are made in-house, which always makes drinks taste more unique and less artificial. I ordered a honey cinnamon latte with half sweetness and it was really good. The flavor balance was great and not overly sweet, which is exactly how I like my coffee. I also picked up an iced vanilla latte, and that one was just as good. When I was ordering, the person taking my order didn't seem very interested in giving recommendations when I asked, but the barista who made the drinks was very nice and the coffee itself was excellent, which made up for it. There's some construction going on in the area right now, but I was still able to find parking without too much trouble. The food also looked really good, though I only tried the drinks this time. There is ample seating and bathrooms for customers in the back. Overall, great coffee and I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu.

I ordered a sandwich, a cookie and a coffee and I really can't decide which one was best It's probably one of the best cookies I've ever had in my life. They have outdoor seating that's dog friendly. A small parking lot with additional street parking. The vibe is amazing with typical southern California charm. Definitely worth the weight in line

Lofty Coffee is a spot I've been to multiple times now…read more Highlight The coffee is genuinely fantastic especially their beans. 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.

The honey is incredibly flavorful - I've never noted the honey as a standout ingredient of an Acai bowl before but whatever honey they use is so floral and delicious it adds a really special flavor to the bowl. Great acai base as well that isn't too sweet. Matcha latte - I got the honey lavender and even with that flavor added it was not too sweet which I really appreciated. They also have juice and baked goods - what a great spot!!

Why I gave this place only 3 stars was because of how they continually messed up the drinks. Asked for one iced americano with oat milk and one cold brew with whole milk. Cold brew came with vanilla so brought it up to them to remake. Specifically said which drink. They were chatting a lot and then after a few minutes called out the drink. This time it was an entirely different drink. We just took it and left. While coffee is not ultra expensive, it is more expensive for what it is so it's frustrating in a way. There are a lot of local spots so while the coffee was fine, not sure we would come back.

I liked the vintage car they had, in addition to the fresh green plants which were very relaxing. The aroma of fresh coffee with fresh air created a very enjoyable atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The menu included drip coffee, cold brew, matcha, cappuccino, espresso, latte , assorted pastries, sandwiches and more. We ordered two Cappuccino and Iced caramel latte. Their cappuccino was rich and had velvety texture with an adorable heart design on the top. The caramel latte had the right amount of sweetness with strong coffee flavor. For breakfast, we ordered toasted asiago bagel with cream cheese. It was fresh savory, crispy from outside, light and chewy from inside. We also got a breakfast sandwich in a biscuit. The sandwich filling included eggs, Swiss cheese, arugula, bacon with light spread of cream cheese. It was fresh, savory and flavorful.

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.

It tasted more like a creamy coffee. It's pretty good! This is a cute little kiosk located in a gas station parking lot. The barista Jesse was the sweetest!

We popped in here last December to grab some breakfast and drinks. I was excited to try their Golden Latte and their tasty breakfast tacos. I love how the shop is open and airy.

Service was good and both my drink and breakfast were on point in terms of taste. You just can't beat west coast breakfast tacos! I saw lots of locals and tourists alike walking over or riding up on their bikes as parking is pretty limited but don't let that stop you from giving them a try.
