Intelligencia coffee beans for the drip- rich and flavorful - so glad I stopped in here. Baked goods look incredible. This Palmier- is bigger than my face!

Best chai around.
Delicious sandwiches.
Yummy quiche.
Delectable pastries.
Feels great here, everyone always happy and friendly.
Hours have changed recently and they now accept credit cards.

Best almond croissants in San Diego and Indian chai.

Seriously, the best Morning Bun I have ever had! So flavorful and crunchy on the outside!
It is best if you go early because they are REALLY crunchy 🥰 and they sell out pretty fast!

The shop is cute and cozy. And the Bombay latte was delicious! (I had it with plant milk.) I don't usually like to drink coffee because it gives me the jitters. The Bombay latte didn't give me any jitters at all – just gave me a really good mood.

Had a nice quiet lunch of homemade quiche and fresh pastry, sitting outside on the patio on a peaceful street one block of the buhbub of the main drag. Also was offered water for our dog Sailor who really liked the place too.

I'm not sure if I want to share this place because everything will be eaten by the time I get here. The coffee here is the smoothest out of every spot I've been to in town and the cappuccinos rival lofty's. Sit under the tree and enjoy!

Amazing quality just west of Coast Highway. Flaky and delicious.

This place is simply the best. They are known for their chai, and I can see why! Perfectly blended. It is presweetened with organic sugar. And their pastries are superb. My mother raves about their sandwiches. And the are right next to the most amazing meditation center.

My friend raved about the chai at Darshan and being a devout tea drinker myself decided to give it a try. Well. It’s delicious, not too milky, not too spiced, just right. Treat yourself to an almond croissant while you are there you won’t be disappointed.

This hidden gem of a cafe bakes up authentic French pastries daily. The coffee is amazingly good, which is saying something given the amount of fantastic coffee shops and roasteries within a 2 mile radius. As a Francophile, this place never disappoints.

Small little bakery offering great coffee and tea drinks as well as some beautiful pastries that are as good as the ones I have enjoyed while travelling in Europe. They have a few undoor tables as well as a few outdoor ones. They have additional parking in the rear off an alley.

Best almond croissants and loved their chai!

A nice cute cozy bakery with delicious pastry

Very nice French pastries. Good coffee and chai. It's a small space, but there is usually enough outdoor seating.

Incredibly fresh, Vegan, No guilt pastries and a few sandwiches. Coffee Bar, lovely. Outdoor seating under huge fight us trees.

I love this bakery. Everything is made w butter and is old world delicious. Best in SD despite limited selection. Quality before quantity.

Very good coffee. I didn't have any food but the baked goods looked delicious.

The almond croissant is actually heaven on earth. Cute little nook hidden gem in encinitas. definitely recommend!
