I recently tried Lofty Coffee and was pleasantly surprised. The cafe itself is super cute and clean. They have a good amount of seating, although every table was full once we sat down on a Friday morning around 10am. In addition to your normal coffee and tea drinks, they have amazing freshly baked pastries. I tried their seasonal pumpkin loaf, which I highly recommend. My friend ordered their savory loaf, I can’t remember the name but it had spinach and cheese, which was also phenomenal. We both ordered the Salted Caramel Latte with almond milk, which had a nice flavor and not overly sweet.
The only negative was trying to find parking. So it would definitely be more convenient if you’re in walking distance. But overall, it’s a great spot for food and coffee!

Acai bowl was really good! Pour over was really well made, went back a second day to try another.
Servers who bring out food and coffee are great! Some of the people at register give off annoyed vibes.
Good amount of dogs and some barky dogs. Wifi available. Mostly outdoor seating so dress warm if you get chilly.

The avocados with the meal was a bit salty but still good. Cappuccino and Turkish latte was excellent. Service was excellent. Everyone there is on top of things and making sure you have everything you’ve ordered. They clean the tables quickly so the next customers can have a spot. There is plenty of cute dogs that come in. I love seeing the cute little pigeons walk around looking for a little scrap too!

Wife and I ended up going here because there is no line-up, compared to Morning Glory, which we originally planned to go.
Good choice because service is fast and food is freshly made. I enjoyed my Sausage Egg and Cheddaer Croissant with Salted Caramel Latte. Wife enjoyed her Little Italy Egg plate but since it was her first time getting Turkish Latte, she didn't like the taste as much.

My sister and I both got the same meal, The Carlsbad, except I got mine with gluten free bread! The bread was very good to be gluten free and the rest of the meal was also great and filling. Photo for reference for the size different in the gluten free bread vs the regular bread. Although the size difference is stark, the upcharge for GF is only 50¢ so I really can’t complain about that when anywhere else is $2+ for the sub. Overall very good experience!
Coffee was okay too, just got a plain iced oat latte.
