Milton's
2660 Via De La Valle, Del Mar, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Del Mar spot pulls in crowds for good reason: the coffee is excellent, the service stays warm and attentive even during peak lunch rushes, and the food—from lox bagels to their famously refreshing Arnold Palmers—consistently delivers. Fair warning that Friday lunch means a packed house, but locals keep returning for the combination of quality ingredients, welcoming staff, and that hard-to-find balance between being a serious coffee destination and a full-service neighborhood gathering place.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Super busy when we got there, but got seated fairly quickly. Place was packed, but our server was composed, friendly, and attentive. I got the lox on an onion bagel and it was really good. Only snafu was that my daughter got onions on her sandwich when she asked for none, but…
Pricey but delicious food & great service. Wasn't happy with the potato pancakes! How hard is that?? Tasted like it was filled with cornbread or mashed potatoes instead of grated 🫤 Excellent coffee, delicious salads & sandwiches. Was very loud in there!
Always appealing and fantastic tasting food, no matter what the order is. Best Arnold Palmer in the area. Desserts are not abundant on the menu, but quite abundant in the deli section - where you can find many favorites and unique dishes. The banana pudding can be hit or miss as…
