Lofty Coffee Co.
2742 State St, Carlsbad, CA
Crema's Take
“Lofty Coffee Co. is a bright, modern Carlsbad spot that feels like a celebration of Southern California weather, with soaring ceilings and thoughtfully designed open-air seating that makes lingering over coffee (or tea) genuinely pleasant. Their in-house almond milk elevates their already stellar lattes, and the açaí bowls are genuinely worth the splurge, but what really shines is the staff—particularly their attentive approach to making sure guests find their space and feel cared for. Whether you're meeting a friend, working on your laptop, or enjoying a leisurely breakfast, Lofty manages to feel both sophisticated and welcoming at once.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
