Manzanita Roasting Company and Coffee House

The iced latte here was excellent! You could taste the fresh beans and paired with house made syrups, it was just the perfect cup! It was perfectly sweet & creamy while still have a coffee taste. I also enjoyed the avocado toast, it was simple & delicious. The toast was nice & crunchy, however, I would have enjoyed a bit more avocado on top. Definitely come for the coffee & vibes!

Super cool cafe in a beautiful walkable area of Escondido. Across the street from art galleries and other shops. I got an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, muffin, and a brown sugar iced late. Charlie my dog got a jerky stick (for free). Everything was amazing. The breakfast sandwich was done in a way that was unique. Super tasty. The latte was on point. I loved the vibe and the service was amazing. They have outdoor seating and very dog friendly.

Today, I enjoyed a bold cup of coffee with my mother at Manzanita Roasting Company. Located near the theater, Manzanita provides an appropriate ambience that complements the theater. This coffee shop has large doors that provide an easy open-air feel. This is a delightful place to enjoy a moment with family and friends. While I was there, they replaced the menu, see photo. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. When you find yourself in Escondido, take a moment to enjoy this coffee shop. I look forward to sipping another cup of coffee at Manzanita.

I have found my favorite coffee shop!! I’ve only been here a few times but the atmosphere is quite lovely! That’s the only way I can describe it. It’s quiet in a calm way. People are here (with kids) and talking but it’s not the hustle and bustle of other shops. I don’t live near here me, but this might become a regular “Let’s go have coffee” spot. Definitely I want a change of scenery and coffee. I got peanut butter toast today so I could feel like a kid! It’s actually TWO slices. I was not expecting that. If you have two young kids (minus allergies) you could order one of these and feed both. 😆 They have some gluten free options in the baked goods. Today they had protein donuts. Next time.

I’m always looking for a good Pour Over and Manzanita did not disappoint me. (I didn’t even take a photo of it - the one you can see below is my wife’s seasonal Latte). They also had a very nice selection of sweet treats instead of the usual sad muffins and stale croissants you usually see at coffee shops. I selected a brownie and gladly wolfed it down. The raspberry macarons and the lemon curd pie were close runners up and I plan to come back for then soon enough. I also plan to come back to try the Protein Bowl as a proper breakfast, it reads like an amazing low carb option. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, 10/10!

As a former coffee shop owner I have to say Amazing. The espresso was delicious and the pour over was spot on - so much flavor in both. I had no expectations but this place far exceeded any I could’ve walked in with. Eli is nothing short but a master of his craft. I will return 😎🤘🏽

Bought an iced vanilla latte here and it was delicious. Definitely worth the money. There was no air conditioning inside, so it was a little hot to sit in here, but it is a cute place to sit. The upstairs is even hotter, so maybe avoid sitting there, although it is more quiet upstairs. The man who took my order and made my drink was friendly. The bathrooms were quite dirty, though.

Manzanita “north” (as opposed to the RB location) is a wonderful add to the eastern end of Grand Ave in downtown Esco. Beautiful remodel in the corner of the vintage theater with open doorways and a large airy comfortable seating area. Same smooth rich coffee, same great menu selection as RB location (healthy breakfast and pastries), and a few fun unique gifts. Friendly and warm service with a smile. Great coffee house. Stop by next time you are in the area, I promise you’ll become a regular! 😁☕️😁
