Lofty Coffee Co.
97 N Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas, CA
Crema's Take
“Perched on its own private hill in Encinitas, Lofty Coffee Co. offers a distinctive escape with elevated views and thoughtful ambiance—think warm bulb lights and a genuine sense of place that draws both focused workers and casual visitors. The baristas really know their craft, offering multiple varietal choices and brewing methods, paired with fresh pastries and surprisingly good food that goes beyond typical café fare. While it skews a bit pricey and attracts the well-heeled crowd, those who value quality coffee, knowledgeable service, and a beautiful setting tend to find it worth the splurge.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
