Scratch-made. Local. Ingredients-forward. Our kitchen brings thoughtful simplicity to breakfast in Carlsbad with fresh pastries, organic eggs, and plant-forward bowls.
We roast all our beans locally at our Encinitas Roasting Works. Pair your drink with our house-baked bread. Small-batch syrups are used for a cup that feels both classic and elevated.
We take pride in our pastries, crafted with fresh, locally sourced organic ingredients. Our skilled bakers create a delightful array of treats, from flaky croissants to rich muffins, all made daily to ensure maximum freshness. Whether you’re enjoying a warm pastry with your coffee or indulging in a sweet treat during brunch, you can taste the care and passion that goes into every bite.
