Encanto Cafe
1261 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA
Crema's Take
“Encanto Cafe is a vibrant La Jolla spot that nails the weekend brunch experience with genuinely organic food, freshly brewed specialty coffees, and a curated playlist that sets an instantly welcoming mood. The Brazilian-owned cafe shines brightest when you settle in for a leisurely sit—the atmosphere and friendly staff really reward a slower pace—though service can be inconsistent if you're just grabbing a quick coffee to go. Families and groups clearly thrive here, making it worth a visit for its combination of quality ingredients, creative drinks, and that special energy that comes from owners who actually care about the vibe they're creating.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
