A couple of bench seats inside but for the most part not a great place to hang out since it's next to a busy road anyways. The cappuccino and flat white we ordered was okay but the milk foam was very flaccid and didn't have that much texture to it. Coffee flavor was okay but couldn't make up for the mid drinks. Wouldn't come back tbh.

Staff weren't that happy to be there , they dotn smile. Music? Bare minimum..you can barely hear it maybe. The place? Feels like an abandoned taco shop. No decoration, their deli is empty..their pastry looks old . Ok time to order some coffee. I only see one menu on the wall. Super minimalist. So ordered, then I looked down at the counter..there is another menu for specialty..so I gave it a tried. The menu sounded very cocktail type of descriptions...well give it a try! Received my tiny hot little coffee for over $7 drink. My hand is actually bigger than the cup. Ok I took a first sip.. not good. No bueno. It has an after taste of bitterness and is not blending well with the cherry flavor. The golden hour ice drink was so bad, my friend ended up throwing it. I would definitely not recommend anyone to come here if you are a truly coffee drinker.

My mom has an autoimmune disease and some days are just harder than others in terms of us getting out of the house and enjoying some mother-daughter time.

I ordered a 12oz hot left coast latte (which has caramel) and substituted oat milk. This latte was excellent and very much enjoyed it. I also ordered a vegan jalapeño everything galette. Initially, I thought it was a bialy and was really hoping it was one but a galette worked also. It was tasty but was just a tad underwarmed and needed maybe one more minute in the toaster. They have clean bathrooms here too, if you need to use the loo. They have nice seating on their porch like area and also there is a courtyard too right out front facing a fountain. A great place to grab a cup of joe and a snack! They also sent me a $5 off coupon after I visited, so I'll definitely come back for sure! Great spot in Encinitas, very much enjoyed my Sunday morning here!

This location is right in the center of so much Solana Beach activity offering plenty to do and see around this cafe that makes it an even better stop. Really easy to order and although the line may look long, they are usually quite fast. Worth the wait too! I recently had their cherry bomb latte and my husband had their vanilla latte. His vanilla latte was top tier but I absolutely love the cherry bomb latte. Cherry and coffee go together much better than expected. Their butter croissant was heaven. Just the fluffiest layers and delicious!

This would have been an average San Diego coffee shop experience for me, except for the fact that I absolutely LOVED the cherry bomb! It's a cherry mocha and essentially a perfect drink for me. Back in 2019, Starbucks had a seasonal cherry mocha for Valentine's Day that I was obsessed with. Apparently I was the only one, because they haven't brought it back since. Cherry mochas are hard to come by, and I haven't really encountered another one. This one was delicious! The espresso was bold, the milk perfectly creamy, and the overall taste not too sweet (unlike Starbucks'). Wow!! I can already tell this will be a drink I daydream about. Unfortunately it was $7.50, which will prevent me from indulging very regularly. The rest of the menu is pricey too, with avocado toasts nearly reaching $20. (I may be a millennial, but I can certainly understand the negative stereotype when I see coffee shop prices like these.) Besides pricing, the other downside of this place is the limited seating. There were only 4 small outdoor tables, so unless you're with just one other person and you arrive before 10am, I'd suggest grabbing your coffee to go and taking a walk. My friend and I sat down, since there were open tables when we arrived. She enjoyed her iced honey cinnamon latte. If you love a cherry mocha or are looking for coffee in the design district, definitely come through!

He texted me the next day and let me know my order was ready for pickup. It is roasted exactly how I like it, dark but not oily. The crema is rich and thick, and lingers even in an Americano. I'm really looking forward to trying the other beans.

For a place with multiple locations and a great brand it's sad to see it fall on its face so easily when it comes to this.

The menu is on the left side, while you order on the right side. I thought that was a little difficult to read while standing in line. The drinks are pretty basic, from what I was looking at I don't think they have any seasonal specials. However they had teas and pastries to enjoy as well. My friend ordered a ~$6.25, Medium Iced Caramel (Sauce) Latte with Oat Milk. He said it had a good flavor and enjoyed it. I tried their $5.25, Small Iced Vanilla Latte with Whole Milk. Despite being on the smaller side, the drink was more milky than I'd prefer it being. However, the taste of the vanilla was nice. The prices being under $7-8 for iced lattes is really nice! Especially in RSF I thought they'd make it more expensive. (Idk first time in the area). If I'm in the area, I'll take another look at the menu and try something else.
