I love coffee x infinity. So when I made the move across the country, one of my priorities was to find a great coffee shop to "replace" the ones back home. The first one I visited, I fell in love with.
It had all the things I wanted in a coffee shop "work space". Yummy coffee (the roasting occurs right across the street). The iced coffee is also made Kyoto style which is a method of cold brew involving coils and overnights dripping. Its complicatedly beautiful.

They partake in the art of latte "design" with the basic leaves and hearts. Nothing makes you feel more special and fancy than a heart running through your salted carmel latte. They have delicious muffins and scones (I bet the cookies and brownies are good too). And of course wifi.
I have made it a habit to come here with my laptop to get some work done. It stays pretty crowded so finding a table isn"t always the easiest of tasks but generally speaking people will share a table with you. Outside seating is also available but just as hard to come by with the perfect SoCal weather and all. They also have a new secondary shop across the street with their espresso menu and treats. It has plenty of seating and is always a bit quieter.

Once my time at the coffee shop is finished i sometimes walk down the main street in Encinitas and peek in shops, or go down the the creek on B Street (which feels like a piece of Georgia) or farther down to the beach for a bit. If i don't have time i hop back on Coast Highway for the 25-ish minute drive home (a good coffee shop is worth the trek). And spend the next week craving a sweet latte and a muffin.
