Lofty Coffee Co.
132 S Cedros Ave, Del Mar, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Del Mar with a charming outdoor oasis, Lofty Coffee Co. earns consistent praise for genuinely excellent espresso drinks—their mochas and lattes are standouts that keep locals coming back. The vibe is relaxed and beautiful, perfect for lingering in the shade with a massive 20-ounce latte, though fair warning that their food offerings are pricey for the portion size.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
