The line was to the sidewalk when we arrived but moves quickly. The service representative was so helpful and cheerful. And the coffee was wonderful. I had the salted caramel latte. Superb. Not overly sweet and you can taste the coffee. Highly recommend.

I had their version of a Mexican Mocha; 5.0, call off the dogs, the hunt is over! That was the best MM yet. Caliente!

Incredible cafe with excellent espresso and cappuccinos. Had some of the best donuts I’ve ever tried. Croissants were also exceptional. Love this place. Baristas here are very well trained.

Great little coffee place for coffee, breakfast, brunch or lunch. Coffee was great. Bakery items are freshly made! Seating in the covered patio on three sides and it has parking for the customers!

I love coming here in the morning to sit, relax and get work done. It can get busy but the food is great, coffee and matcha always on point and staff is super friendly. A great setting to work but also to get up and take a walk too.

As a coffee junkie, I can appreciate good coffee and this is not shy from being fantastic coffee. There’s so much about Lofty coffee that I appreciate. It’s a quaint coffee spot in downtown Solana Beach and has very great design element with such a great feel. Their coffee smells and tastes amazing. I will definitely be purchasing some of their coffee beans to try at home in my espresso machine. Our first time there, we tried their pumpkin cold brew which is pictured and it was amazing! It’s topped with crumbled graham cracker and compliments the drink well. We also tried their iced salted caramel latte which was good but I liked the pumpkin cold brew much more. If you’re in the Solana Beach area and live coffee, you HAVE to try Lofty coffee. You won’t be disappointed!!

Delicious although a bit pricey. Quality food and great service and of course delish coffee and pastries to die for! Cool vibe and ambiance with variety of seating options for groups or solo. Staff are super friendly and chilled!!!

Ordered an oat milk Turkish latte, no foam. 7.50 plus tip. Staff consciously and audibly added foam, acknowledged it, didn’t change the order and then chuckled to each other about it, after insulting previous customers who tried to order food after 3 (when they stop serving it). Terrible for an establishment of this caliber/model. 2 stars since the 50% of my drink that wasn’t foam was tasty. Drink was also barely warm.

Huge lofty fan! I have to say that this location has one of the worst parking lots ever. Sooooo tight. The inside is the same as well. Not sure much can be done,
