"As a tea drinker this presentation felt sophisticated and the chamomile strength was delicious and soothing. The freshness and rainbow colors of this bowl complemented the light delicate dressing. The watermelon radish added a pungent spice and with a dollop of hummus was perfectly balanced. Felt light and healthy and was a great vegan option. The music was mellow and the volume matched the mood of the time of day. Will be back again and try more of the not coffee menu."

"I had a great experience at Lofty Coffee in Carlsbad, CA. The staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient, making the whole visit easy and enjoyable. The location is fantastic, with both cozy indoor seating and a great outdoor patio to enjoy the Carlsbad weather. I ordered the chipotle chicken wrap and was genuinely impressed—perfectly spicy, flavorful, and fresh. This spot is a must-visit if you’re looking for great coffee and food in Carlsbad. Whether you’re meeting friends, working remotely, or just grabbing a quick bite, Lofty Coffee hits the mark."

"Wow! This morning, I experienced a lovely coffee date with my wife at Lofty Coffee, Lofty provides an open-air modern design coffee shop, which takes advantage of the weather. The impressive high ceiling adds a sense of awe. Their "cold brew tree," used for cold brew, enhances the ambience. The coffee house maintained a steady flow of customers. Lofty welcomes and appreciates dogs of all sizes🐕‍🦺. Yes they are dog-friendly. Though their bold coffee was a little spendy, they offer free refills. I look forward to another visit at Lofty Coffee, located in Carlsbad."

"Very good coffee! Good service (order at the counter). The avocado toast was good. It's not a cheap place. $10 for a piece of toast with avocado spread on top. Unfortunately, this is the new norm for Carlsbad village."

"Great local spot. I love their coffee, lattes, and breakfast food items. Recs: almond milk latte (they make their almond milk in house). Açaí bowl (best açaí bowl in town; and yes you will pay a pretty price for it). Toasted quickie with gluten-free bread and whipped eggs (the gluten-free bread is made from almond flour and is insanely delicious- I dream about it. Also, whipped eggs are amazing - just light and fluffy scrambled little puffs. You’re welcome). The only downside to lofty is it’s one of the most expensive coffee shops in all of San Diego, but it is really incredible (you could easily spend $35 on breakfast for 1 here)."
