"After driving by this lil java hut multiple I finally made the decision to stop by and check it out. I am super glad I did. I walked up to the walk up window and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. After looking at the menu I decided to go with a 20oz peanut butter banana mocha. It was so delicious and the service was very quick. I will definitely be coming back to try different items on the menu. If you are ever in Encinitas I would definitely recommend stopping by and giving them a try. Thank you!"
