The Story Caffe

This is a great hidden gem in Carlsbad. I like to try out working from different coffee shops and this may be my favorite in Carlsbad yet. Because it is located in a church, I was hesitant to come here as religion is not exactly my thing but the environment was not overtly religious and I didn't feel uncomfortable or like there was an effort to subtly convert anyone.

The whole property is stunning and the atmosphere here is great, very thorough and friendly staff and it was pretty quiet and not crowded when I went. Good selection of non coffee drinks for us non coffee drinkers which was a huge plus. The turmeric drink was excellent, and they have pea protein milk which most coffee shops do not have.

Lovely coffee shop beautiful art work cosy vibe feel and great coffee ☕ 😊 ✨

Story Caffe is a wonderful spot to relax and read a favorite book, get caught up on work or share an hour with a good friend. They also have the friendliest staff working there. The caffe is such a comfortable cozy environment with couches and inviting gathering spaces. In fact, the entire NCCC campus feels like you are on vacation in Italy it is so beautiful. Come check it out.

What a lovely coffee shop! It’s so cozy too. My americano was great.

Super kind people, and a peaceful atmosphere.

Nice little coffee shop with relaxing music. Plenty of comfy seating to pick from. Also a fire place going in a center wall. Staff was friendly and helpful.

This spot is a hidden gem for North County remote work. The coffee is good and the cafe is rarely crowded. I can come here, caffeine up and knock out some work when the home office isn't hacking it.
When the weather permits the outdoor patio is very comfortable and quiet.

Their service, quality, and tea selection is unmatched! I love adding lavender syrup to my white peony tea; it’s an amazing floral experience.

This may be my new favorite work/study spot! Lots of comfortable seating, air conditioned, a fireplace, open fairly late, calm, lots of books to read, decorated nicely eithoocal art for sale. Really a great place, prices are very good as well!

My comfort zone. I can't say one bad thing about this little piece of heaven on earth. Delicious brewed coffee. There is a real good story behind the beans they use. Beautiful setting and atmosphere to boot. I think I'm in Santa Fe, NM when I come here.

For the perfect stop for a quick bite all day long and carefully crafted coffees and drinks - this IS the place. Nestled into the best church on the planet North Coast Calvary Chapel this place is perfect for a business meeting or homework or even date night. Go to church and buy latte and a scone and get some JESUS for FREE!

It’s just so beautiful! I’ll come back to try it for sure when they are open.

Excellent atmosphere. Great coffee taste, Delicious sandwiches

Wow, this church created a wonderful coffee shop! Dropped in to read a book over tea, and felt warm and fuzzy in a quietly spiritual way.

Best Chai in town! I love the relaxed atmosphere and fireplace.

Very nice staff, super relaxing environment, great place to get some work done. Didn't know this place existed but very happy to have found it

Very nice place. Relaxing music and also they have many tables and couches that are very comfortable if you come in alone or in group.

Great coffee and other drinks, pleasant staff, and welcoming atmosphere. Far better option than any other local coffee spot.

What a wonderful place to spend some time with old and new friends. A warm, inviting atmosphere and excellent service.

Love this cozy study spot. Looks like a great congregation too, beautiful church site.
