PACIFICA BREEZE CAFE

Located at:
1555 Camino Del Mar # 209  
Del Mar, CA 92014



This sweet cafe is not just a place you wanna swing by to grab cup of coffee, you're going wanna take a seat, relax and enjoy the most B.E.A.UTIFUL view!






Drink we've tried and enjoyed so far:

Maui mocha iced
White mocha iced
Cinnamon vanilla latte




We have enjoyed all their food items we have tried as well, including this amazin omelet below! If you miss breakfast, no need to fret, their luncheon is great as well!



After you've left the cafe, take a walk upstairs and around the corner to enjoy this huge open balcony! Enjoy the breeze and beautiful blue sky and ocean view!


And if you've still got some time talk a walk down 15th St to these benches and relax a bit more!


This place is a must! You'll love it!

Lofty Bean Coffee Bar

Located at:

90 North Coast Highway 101 
Encinitas, CA 92024




The best organic coffee shop we've found!  When we walked in we were welcomed by cheerful staff excited about coffee, the specialty drinks they served, and stoked to serve us!  They gave us great recommendations as far as drinks to try for our first visit!  




Although not on the menu when we were there, I tried their Nutella Latte and it was bomb diggity!  My wife had their Iced Salted Carmel Latte and she was impressed as well!



The great coffee bar is located just few blocks from moonlight beach in Encinitas, so of course we cruised the coast after we got our drinks! 




GOLD STAR! CHECK IT!

Vanika Cafe

Located at:
300 Carlsbad Village Dr. Ste. 211,
Carlsbad, CA 92008


We always enjoy this coffee shop in Downtown Carlsbad.  It has a beautiful view of the plaza and great outside seating for all those warm sunny days! 




Some people are working away at their computers, reading the daily, or playing games like us.  


So whether you need a shop for business or pleasure, Vanika is the place to be! 

PANNIKIN COFFEE AND TEA (round 2 - Encinitas Shop)

Located at:
510 North Coast Highway 101
Encinitas, CA 92024



Well we had to check out their Encinitas location where they roast their beans and so glad we did. From the moment you pull up to as you walk out, you'll be thinking "this place is rad". The open area in front welcomes locals and visitors to take a breather and relax a bit. The amazin coffee aroma hits you as you walk into the shop.


Along with a iced white mocha and iced vanilla latte, we got their moist lemon poppyseed bread which was 2 thumbs way up!!


This shop is a MUST, make sure to try it out and stay a while :)

Solana Beach Coffee Company

Located at:

437 S Highway 101 # 501
Solana Beach, CA 92075


This quirky little place will take one on quite the adventure.  




From half mannequins to taking the quest with Frodo to Mordor on VHS, you'll leave with quite a smirk on your face.  They use beans from cafe calabria and various special beans and make quite delightful coffee drinks. 






Drinks to Try:
True Love

THE COFFEE CUP


All around this cafe is fantastic and a must visit if you're in La Jolla!!!



The food is excellent as you can see below.  We split the special, a breakfast enchilada and it was off the charts good!



They use local coffee beans from Cafe Motto, we got Hammerhead and Mocha Thai latte! Super close to the beach so you get great local feel as you enjoy great customer service.  




 Two BIG thumbs up!

CLAIRES ON CEDORS

Located at:
246 North Cedros
Solana Beach, CA 92075


This is one of the best coffee / cafe we've found in North County!! The food is excellent and they use bird rock coffee beans for their coffee drinks. 






Favorite drink: Homemade Carmel latte.  Their Vanilla late is great as well.  

Favorite Food: Lemon Ricotta pancakes with blueberry sauce.  Also, their eggs benedict is excellent choice if you're not wanting pancakes.  



Just be ready for a bit of a wait but if you're ready for that, you wont be disappointed going to CLAIRES on CEDROS!  We always get one of their superb coffees as we wait outside.
