I initially came here for the selection but found myself opting for a cup of Hot Organic Golden Milk prepared with oat milk instead. The beverage was a delightful surprise, boasting a creamy texture with subtle sweetness and a hint of ginger.
The cafe offers an serene ambiance with a tidy setting with spacious tables. It's evident that many of the the customers engage in various activities, from using their laptops to reading or studying.
Service was prompt, with my drink quickly delivered to my table, and the staff actively maintaining cleanliness throughout. The cafe's pet-friendly policy and expansive menu spanning all-day breakfast and lunch options are noteworthy, showcasing a diverse and satisfying array of choices.
While I had already eaten elsewhere and only intended to indulge in their coffee, I'm inclined to return and explore their coffee offerings and diverse menu.
The atmosphere of the cafe is open and spacious, great for people watching, and the location is superb. However, the coffee, I felt, is average for the price point ($6.50 not including tax/tip), if not a little lackluster. Turkish Latte had too many coffee grounds in it, which made drinking it unpleasant. I know this is part of Turkish coffee experience, but I didn't realize it wasn't just using normal espresso. Lofty Style Nola was okay and refreshing but didn't taste the chicory too much.
The for-here cups for cold drinks is just plastic take out cups without a lid (wish it was glass), and my pet peeve is paper straws that make the coffee taste like cardboard.
The employees and vibe is cafe is great, but in terms of specialty coffee, Lofty had a lot of variety but not sure if I should have stuck with a normal latte instead here instead.
Lofty Coffee in San Diego serves locally roasted coffee while offering breakfast and lunch. I have tried the granola and the Flower Child from their menu, and both looked stunning and tasted very good. However, the granola was a bit too sweet for my taste.
The atmosphere of the cafe is pretty nice and the staff is friendly. While some reviewers have mentioned slow service and disappointing breakfast, my experience was positive overall.
If you're looking for a trendy coffee shop to enjoy a break during your visit at the Farmers Market in Little Italy, it can surely be worth giving it a try.
