Coffee fact: While Brazil may grow the most coffee, Finland drinks the most coffee! A New Orleans Iced Coffee ($6.60, 2% Milk), an Iced Hibiscus Blood Orange drink ($4.00), two Lemon GF cookie ($4.50 ea.), and three Salted Chocolate Chunk Cookie ($4.00 ea.) were order. I was going to see my niece later that evening and she was going to be given a salted chocolate cookie and one of the lemon cookies but I'm a terrible aunt and really liked the salted chocolate cookie so I kept all three for myself. ;) They have a window area to see into the kitchen if you're interested in watching them make their baked goods. I will admit that the drinks weren't it though. The New Orleans Iced Coffee tasted watery and the Iced Hibiscus Blood Orange drink wasn't balanced with it leaning more towards hibiscus than blood orange. Oh well. You can tell this is a well-loved spot in the neighborhood. There was even an adorable dollface Persian kitten sitting in the patio that looked as pleased as can be being outside Lofty Coffee Cafe and Bakery. Stop in, grab a cuppa, and enjoy a leisurely stroll down Little Italy.
Very cute indoor/outdoor atmosphere. My iced caramel latte was superb and despite the expensive price of the acai bowl, it was hugeeee and one of the best ones I’ve had. The wait was long, took about 15 minutes for my coffee and at least 25 for the food to come out. Overall great spot if you have time to wait.
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.
S.L.O.E eggs. That’s all that needs to be said and tried. They are so soft and flavors of a pure egg folded to a perfect thickness. Come for breakfast or for brunch it’s 100% worth your time. Croissant was that accompanied the egg (the star of the show) was decent too. Chicken sausage was also fresh and didn’t taste like it came from an industrial factory. Has good outdoor seating that’s not directly in the sun.
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.
