By far my favorite coffee in all North County, was surprised they are actually using Lofty beans because I like their coffee more than lofty. The coffee there is always top notch, and is perfectly balanced. Staff is super friendly, and you can’t beat that view when getting your caffeine fix. The actual shop itself is also super cute with lots of local goods to pick a gift from. I always try to stop there whenever I am on the 101 as I know I will get quality coffee, great service and won’t have to wait at all.

Very tasty coffee with nice outside sitting. Simple modern design and there's bicycle parking right next to it. I will definitely come back here often.

My friend caught a glimpse of this place driving by and we decided to stop by for an early morning coffee. They luckily let us park outside of the hotel for free however there was only enough spaces for our two cars. I tried one of their specialty coffees that was on our menu, I can't recall the name, but I believe it was an iced vanilla latte with a sweet cream on top. The coffee was pretty decent. It had a nice flavor, but the ice melted crazy fast so I think maybe the portions were slightly off since it only lasted me about 10 minutes until it was completely water down. It was creamy and sweet, but maybe needed a little bit more of espresso. All my friends seem to like their coffees. The prices were pretty steep, my one iced coffee was over eight dollars by itself so it's definitely a highly priced drink and probably not something I'd visit frequently. However, I will say the location of the hotel and the view if you decide to walk around is definitely worth, coming over to try one of their coffees!

We love Coffee Box! We are neighbors and come visit with our dog Buster all the time (we are trying to make him the mascot btw). The coffee is amazing and all the employees are awesome and so nice. Brittany, Sierra, Sylvi and Apryl always have a smile and know our order! 10/10 would recommend.

Came here for the holidays and ordered their seasonal special peppermint mocha with almond milk. I believe it's called winter wonderland. I didn't taste any peppermint, and it tasted very burnt. Definitely was not worth it despite the convenience of staying at the alila hotel. I love all the stuff they sell in their store but drink wise, is a hard pass for me. The people here are really nice and service was great, just wish the drinks were good

Set in the swanky Alila Marea beach resort, Coffee Box offers the standard espressos and assorted niblets consistent with such establishments. The staff are friendly and reasonably well-trained in the barista craft. While the beans tend to be a bit more fruity than I normally like, they are clearly of good quality. That said, while the espressos are decent, the location means that you'll be paying a "luxury" surcharge. Expect to shell out 15 to 20% more than what you'd pay for in a normal café. A cortado, for example, will run you $5.00. I suppose that is fine if you are a visitor and don't know any better, but the 101 has a number of similarly competent (and in several cases, better) coffee spots that are more cost-conscious. Overall, good product and service, but premium prices. I can't fault Coffee Box, but not sure I could recommend it.

Delicious coffee with house made syrups. I love the Golden Sunrise with orange and cardamom.

We were staying on property and I had to try this place out! We decided to stop by as we retrieved our cars before heading back home. I went with their cold brew and it was nothing spectacular. The flavor was a bit burnt, I must say. Forgot what the lady ordered but she liked it. The person working was super patient and very friendly. Prices are pretty fair. Place is super clean and hip. Great place to stop by for a quick coffee fix. They have a wide variety of drinks, snacks, and merchandise as well.

My new local spot. This perfect little gem has the most welcoming people working here. The coffee is so flavorful and the perfect start to my morning. All the food looks so delicious and they have the most wonderful gifts and shopping. The ambiance is so perfect for Leaucadia. I'm so glad I found this place.

EXCELLENT SERVICE ! We've been coming here for lunch during our Sunday bike rides almost since day one. The coffees are great, the service always friendly, the food is getting better and Sylvi the barista / manager is the best ! My wife and I rode our eBikes here on Sunday and arrived around midday. After parking our eBikes in the bike rack we went inside to say hi to the girls....Sylvi and Rayelyn. We had a bit of catching up to do as it has been a while since we have ridden here. We ordered 2 x Lattes with 2% milk and Monin hazelnut syrup plus 2 x Ham & Cheese Pockets. We both used the bathrooms which are inside the Alila Marea Beach Resort....spotless of course ! Within a few short minutes we had our warmed up Ham & Cheese Pockets and our very well made lattes. My wife asked for 2 x iced waters as well.Our lattes tasted fabulous and the Ham & Cheese Pockets were filling enough for a light lunch. HARD TO BEAT !

Nice place but coffee isn't up to par. Very small portions. Pretty bland flavor and expensive.
