Everyone is always so kind and sweet! Sylvie and Sierra always go above and beyond. My favorite stop on my weekend strolls with my pup, they always make us feel so welcome. They remember us both and our usual orders. Also you can't beat all the incredible house made drinks and goodies. I'm obsessed with the passionfruit parfait and Seaside Latte is my go to, perfect salty sweet. I've tried pretty much all the cafes along the 101 in Leucadia and this one is still my absolute favorite. Thank you again Sylvie and Sierra for another amazing visit!

My favorite coffee shop in San Diego! Their cappuccinos are creamy, smooth, and aromatic with the perfect amount of froth. The yogurt parfaits and the egg white bites are fresh and delicious. They have excellent customer service and such a nice atmosphere! Absolute gem!

This is a great gem of a coffee shop. Easy to stop in while riding on the coast. Sylvi is always a pleasure to chat with and she draws the best espresso shots!

Coffee Box is a charming little spot offering a great selection of coffee and light bites. Located within the Alila Marea Resort in Encinitas, it’s the perfect place to grab a drink and relax. Brittany, the barista, was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great recommendations. Since I love trying different lattes wherever I go, she suggested the Orange Spice latte, made with a house-made orange cardamom syrup. It was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this spot!

Such an awesome little coffee shop. Great coffee and breakfast, right next to the beach. Sylvi and Brittany are the best.

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.
