Mrkt Space

I came here for a light lunch and to do some journaling. The sandwich and smoothie I had were both really good. I especially enjoyed the high quality bread they use for their sandwiches, and you can tell the other ingredients correspond in caliber. There is plenty of seating, high speed Wi-Fi, and the ambiance is relaxed but fancy. The staff is friendly and do a great job keeping things tidy. Highly recommended if you are in the area and are looking for a light meal and place to spend a few hours in a comfortable place to watch the world go by.

This place has a very chilled and modern feel. The coffee is of high standard, balanced and European style servings using organic milk from the serving I had. Everything I tried their menu is beautifully presented, freshly made and nutritious. This would be on the top 5 coffee spots for me in the area. They gave a great selection of french pastries, a small market area selling high quality locally or internationaly sourced produce you might find and expect at a high end supermarket like Jimbos.

My only regret is not taking more photos of this adorable, modern, market and eatery. I love a black and white graphic aesthetic, and MRKT space when in heavy hand on this look. I'm here for it. The barista is steaming up hot and iced coffees as well as pouring some craft cocktails, your choice. An open window to the kitchen gives a fresh feel to the lite bites they offer. There are a handful Of prepped snacks ready to go as well as a pastry selection. We settled into an outside patio table, ordered a beautiful smoked salmon toast and an almond croissant. The latter was a recommendation from the server, and it was as decadent as she said it would be! We spent a few hours here chatting and dreaming about life, and never felt rushed. The staff was friendly and around to help keep our table tidy, always with a smile. The marketplace is filled with local small treats, from smudge sticks and candles to art and wine. I had to tell myself no a few times to avoid spending my paycheck on a basket full of goodies. This would be a great place to pick up a last minute hostess gift! There are quite a few local and speciality snacks too, think charcuterie board extras! At the end of the day, they have to have good coffee, since that is a main draw of this space. And they do. Confirmed I will be back ;) Pro Tip: as your server to warm up your almond croissant, that ooey-gooey center is just that much better that way!

Cute cafe with delicious food, cocktails, and coffee. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We love sitting at the bars because we can alternate between sitting and standing.

Tasty Paloma cocktails with yummy bruschetta and a nice atmosphere in Leucadia for your local hang out. Highly recommend trying it out for snacking, cocktails, wine and beer.

Love coming to this place to get done work done during the day. Good food and there is a Flatbread happy hour. I can buy some stuff back home from the market too. Wish they have a bit more plugs.

Updated review. Wonderful atmosphere - great for coffee/tea with a friend or a light lunch. Beautiful decor. Love taking clients here and meeting up with friends here as well for an afternoon get-together.

On a day cruise down the coast, stopped in this delightful place for lunch. The food (sandwich) was out of this world delicious! The focaccia- like bread added amazing taste and texture. The ingredients were fresh and portions generous. Service was highly attentive and atmosphere was casual, relaxed, and inviting.

My experience has mostly been good until recently. The food is ok and was a decent place to post up do some work. But they are really trying to regulate where people use laptops. I ordered food and opened my laptop to send off a couple emails while I waited in an area that they restrict using laptops. I was asked to move if I wanted to use my computer. I opted to close my laptop and wait for my sandwich. I'm guessing they don't want to be a coffee shop but that's what it is. At least to most people that go there. Oh well, plenty of places to go w/ better food and ambiance imo. Starting to see a lot of similar reviews. Good luck w/ enforcing your silly seating restrictions.

Vegan options! We visited 3x during a local Airbnb stay. First time we grabbed a few bottled drinks and their vegan chocolate pudding on our way to the beach. Second time, I used their app to order coffee. Third time, we got a few drinks from their cooler and sat and had a few cocktails. Their old fashioned was tasty and so was the dreamer. We would definitely be back if in the area. Although we didn't try their veggie sandwich, I'm pretty sure it could be made vegan upon request. Half their business is a store and you can purchase, bee, wine, non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. It seems they have happy hour too but we were not there in time.

We needed an afternoon pickup after a fun day in San Diego, and ventured out to the mrkt space. I got a cappuccino and my wife got the iced cinnamon vanilla latte. Both were phenomenal, and definitely did the job. It's also located in a cool spot so you can see the trains go by, as well as people watch. Overall a great experience and atmosphere!

Mrkt Space Encinitas (C+ or 2.5 stars) : Great space to hang out, but the cappuccino and the almond croissant I had were pretty mediocre. I've passed by this place a million times on bike rides and always wanted to try it out, but never had the chance. Today, I rode solo and the restaurant was right where I wanted to turn around for 50 miles, so I stopped for a quick refuel break. The space is nice; clean, modern, and very comfortable. Absolutely loved the water dispenser with direct water-line hook-up. So much cleaner than the manual contraptions that many other coffee shops use. And the patio, when empty, is great for hiding a bike! Almond croissant (C+ ) : at $7, I expected something better! It looked good, and the almond paste was decent, but the key qualities that make a good croissant - light, flaky, pungent & buttery - they were all missing. Anyway, you have been warned!  Cappuccino (C ) : at $4.50, this was reasonable and I liked the warm glass cup. But it was pretty tasteless; steamed milk with a light touch of espresso.  Somewhat disappointing, but even at 2:30pm on a Thursday, they were quite busy with people working & chatting away. I wouldn't be against going again, but definitely wouldn't order any of the baked goods, stick with a very basic drip coffee, and just hang out for a while.  ------------------------------------------- Food Grading Scale: A+: Life changing. You remember these bites for the rest of your life. Occurs very infrequently and when it does, you'll know it. You don't even know how to further improve it with a magic wand. A: Wow! Excellent. You felt happy biting into it. You're considering whether it's life changing, but know it misses the mark. A-: Very very good. Whatever it is, it's one of the best, but you can think of further improvements. B+: Very good. Very enjoyable, not to the point of "impressive," but worth revisiting.    B: Good. A solid example of whatever it is, offering enjoyment, but not enough for making an effort to get. B-: Not bad. If in a pinch to eat something, this offers some enjoyment and is a reasonable option. C+: Mediocre plus. Pretty average, but with one or two positive characteristics you can identify.  C: Mediocre. "Meh". Very average. Not bad enough to make you angry, but nothing good about it at all.  C-: Bad. You recognize it for what it is, but a very bad rendition. Your foodie self is a little pissed, and feeling like a dummy you ordered it.  D: Awful. Whoever cooked it should be ashamed of themself. Somehow, you still managed to swallow a bite. F: WTF is this? Inedible. One chew, you had to spit it out. Fire the chef.

The vibes could not have been more immaculate for this cozy open air cafe & market. There's so much space for enjoying a beverage or meal, catching up with friends, or getting some work done. We visited on a Saturday morning and there were a few small businesses outside along with a great singer performing acoustic chill songs. I loved checking out all the goodies in the market before ordering lunch with my fiancé. We loved our meals - both nourishing and fresh - which we enjoyed at the bar seating facing outside. Our dog was comfortable there as well - and the folks working there were so sweet to her offering treats and pets. If we lived nearby we'd visit so much more often! Can't wait to come back the next time we are in north county.

Food was excellent and ambiance was fantastic. Would recomm highly to hang out, work, or study!

Happy hour!!! Great beer on tap selection and wine. Hubs loves his ol fashions here. Great place to hang with friends, nice servers and chill atmosphere. Good salads and cheese or charcuterie boards. Right on the 101 and walking distance from the house. Dog friendly patio and they have a good happy hour.

I've been excited to try MRKT Space, so when I went there for Happy Hour, I was sad to sad my expectations were not met. As far as the store goes, the space itself is quite cute and clean. They have a wide variety of pastries, canned goods, frozen foods, and alcohol. That being said, the prices were very steep; I guess that's to be expected, as the products were all very high quality. After ordering at the counter, you seat yourself at one of the indoor or outdoor tables. Unfortunately, the menu choices were somewhat limited for Happy Hour deals. And once the food came out, I was disappointed by the portion size, especially considering the cost. Rather pricey. Although the food was good, I don't know if I can justify the money. The ingredients are fresh though, so if you're willing to pay extra for that, perhaps you'd enjoy it here. I'd recommend the pesto flatbread; it was my favorite item I tried. Pass on the charcuterie board, it's kind of skimpy and sad. Overall, it was a pricey yet mediocre experience, and I left disappointed and a little hungry.

Buzzing spot for drinks and good food! The staff was lovely and the location is great. I love meeting my girlfriends here for happy hour. The space is beautiful, well-lit, and modern. They also carry some great products like wine, candles and personal products. Highly recommend!

This place is so adorable and I love the vibe and energy. Food was yummy and service was delightful by the two employees working the counter, Sophia and Lucas. Thanks for the great service.

I've loved this place for a few years now and only today did I decide to try the chicken romesco sandwich. Life changing. I'm feeling sad thinking about all the time we could've had together. I'll come back for you chicken romesco ps - bomb aperol spritz

My husband and I used to make this a regular work from home spot. We like the coffee and the food, and the space is nice enough if not a bit loud. However, after the way we were treated today by the owner, we will not be back and will be telling our friends and family about the experience as well. Today, there was a large event in the back of the space making seating for customers limited. My husband and I sat at the only available table that had a "screen free" sign. We figured it would be fine since space for paying customers was limited at the time, and we were purchasing coffee and a meal. The owner came up to us and told us we couldn't sit there, and that we "couldn't camp out with our laptops for three hours without buying anything." We had been there for under and hour and had ordered a full meal, as well as two coffees. As we tried to explain the situation he responded in an aggressive and combative manner. We decided we would rather leave than sit somewhere where we were treated that poorly. There are so many better places down the road in Encinitas, or in Oceanside that welcome remote workers and treat paying customers respectfully. Mrkt is just not worth it anymore.

VERY expensive glasses of wine with tiny pours-maybe 2oz for $16?? Food is equally expensive and super average.

Great place for a casual lunch with top notch eats. I had a salmon salad and also have tried their tuna sandwich. Both excellent! They also have wine on the menu and a few baked goods for purchase and an attached provisions shop! Don't miss this little gem of a place!

Surprised by the food at this place in the best way. Passed by on a walk and so happy we stopped by.

Went there for lunch. The food was nice, though a bit expensive. This is one of those places where you pay and tip first, then "hope for the best". Service is non-existent beyond dropping off your plate. What really irritated me though was I ordered a tea with lunch. I went to the front and asked for a refill and was told "they could give me hot water." But there's no tea bag? "Sorrrry" (smiling). My advice to you is do not tip until after you are done with the experience. I gave a 20% tip for this, consider it a first and last visit.

Really friendly service, good coffees and wide selection of light bite meals. During the week, lots of folks on laptops and on weekends is more social

There is a long table w comfortable seats unlike the others that are counter stools. My friend and i sat in them on our laptops after my back started to hurt. We were kicked out because the sign says no laptops allowed. For dining only. We ordered a round of bloody Mary's , a board and other items. I understand at lunch or dinner but it was very empty and it was so unnecessary. Not sure we will go back. And also didn't order more drinks or food

Design of indoor and outdoor displays, seating, and ambiance is amazing. Staff is friendly and helpful. Capuccino was fantastic after a long walk on Neptune on a relatively cool morning. Definitely make it part of your coffee crawl. Maybe it was me but the chocolate filled croissant was a tad dry. Probably me. Would stop by again! Great for a Sunday morning!

Great ambiance, same concept as its bigger brother in La Jolla, this is a cute store with a little bit of everything, especially convenient if you are looking for unique foodie products. Good vibes as most things and places and people in Encinitas and plenty of space to sit and enjoy your drink or little something to eat. Good for kids too, always see kids in this location. Not sure if I will be choosing this place for a happy hour but always worth a stop and check.

I have been here multiple times and it's a great place with a very casual, on trend vibe. Much like NYC, without the chaos. The flatbreads are absolutely delicious, salads tasty, soup and sandwich super yummy, and what's not to like about a wine tasting? When you buy a bottle of featured vino during their tasting, $10 corkage is waived. Oh, and the small yummy chocolate balls are a must have! Carmel being my fav. ;)

Closes while in line at 1:45 pm on a Wednesday with customers ordering. Many customers working on their laptops. I guess the cook wasn't feeling productive vibe.

New to the Carlsbad area so my husband and I have been wanting to try new coffee shops. Walking into this establishment I was very wowed with the aesthetic but that's all it really is. Waited 10 minutes to even get our order taken. The guy making the drinks and taking orders was so rude and slow. I get it when places are busy but he looked like he did not want to be there. The manager I'm assuming apologized for the wait but didn't seem to do anything about it. We ordered two smoothies, and a vegan donut. Paid $36. In my head that was a bit excessive but I want to support small businesses. Waited a little over 25 minutes for the two drinks. They tasted so horrible. Was not worth the wait and price.

Time for an update: this place is still amazing on all points. Today I tried the replenish smoothie; highly recommended by Maddie, who I see working here often (everyone here is super social and friendly!) Ngl, I was skeptical. But it did not disappoint! 20 G protein, tart, light, satisfying. 10/10 recommend! As for the vegan/GF Mac nut chocolate cookie... I would pay x3 what they're charging. Probably the best cookie I've ever had; and I used to be a baker! Sweet, salty, chocolatey, no refined sugars, great texture... it's basically guilt free

Excellent salads, charcuterie boards, and coffee, very friendly service, and a bright, tastefully decorated space.

A very cute and very friendly spot for coffee, snacks, and buying some grocery goods.

Amazing place to get brunch on a Sunday morning ! My favorite are the chai lattes and the mushrooms pizza.

Awesome! Loved food and service and such a great space to enjoy working or socializing!

Really cool ambiance, and the staff is great and quick so there isn't ever a crazy line. Coffee and croissants are great too.

Love this place! Great food and great ambiance! I highly recommend this place for great breakfast, great coffee, great Matcha latte, and in the evenings they have wine and appetizers.

We had the chicken salad sandwich and it was good. The staff was wonderful. The only drawback is parking is difficult.

I want to give a higher review but the customer service here is just a struggle. They're all "nice" enough but when you actually ask for help they act like it's a favor. I wanted a specific salad on the menu they also offer to go, when I asked where that sized portion is the girl was stoic and offered no help. I even said "so that's a no?" And she just smirked and said yep. Leaving me to overpay for something I didn't want. Food is ok, expensive for what you get, and just overall and ok experience but not something I'd be back for sadly. Have better staff who actually want to do the job they're paid to do, every experience there always an attitude from the girls and a snarkiness I don't appreciate when I spend $20 on a basic salad.

It's our go to neighborhood happy hour spot! Delicious food and cocktails in a great space! Friendly servers. You can pick up some groceries or special treats or gifts while you are there, too.

Been coming here in they opened in October 2021 and it is a nice upscale market and eatery with (what I think is) excellent Espresso, and Matcha. I have only eaten their flatbreads for food, which is great. I was a bit surprised to see the harsh comments on the Espresso as I usually get a simple Macchiato and love the strong flavor from the ground extraction. It seems to be stronger, surprisingly than even other craft coffee shops around, which there are many. ...and you can come in the late afternoon or early evening for a nice wine/beer experience. Good job Matt & Giorgio!

Great space. Excellent food. Cocktails and beer also! Great hours. Service is amazing staff is very welcoming.

Very cozy, upbeat, upscale place in Leucadia Now is my favorite stop for coffee and pastries Design and atmosphere is so beautiful

A quick update: while MRKT Space has found its clientele amongst New Leucadians (that is, upwardly mobile recent arrivals), it still can't produce a decent espresso. Because of the thin cappuccino I got on my first visit, I decided to play it safe with a cortado. Alas, it was B-/C+. I don't know quite what the problem is. They seem to have decent beans. The espresso machine is a winner. But what comes out in the final wash is a mediocre cuppa for a premium price. If you want flash and a nice place to sit, by all means come here. If you want to get a decent espresso, there are at least five better options along the 101.

I am dairy free and the selection of vegan sweets did not disappoint! We split a brownie truffle and a dark chocolate macadamia nut cookie and both were delicious. Matt was super helpful and answered all of my questions, and the iced dark chocolate mocha with vanilla mint syrup and macadamia milk and the iced vanilla mint flat white with almond milk made by Lucas were exceptional! MRKT Space is such a cute spot with a welcoming vibe. This was my second visit, and I cannot wait to return.

Great ambiance and menu. I enjoy visiting for a snack or a cocktail or coffee...nice place to bring laptop and work remotely in the open air.

Love this spot! The food and drinks are amazing and beautifully curated. The market in the shop provides so many options for food and drink as well. Perfect working spot, there are outlets, lots of seating and nice single stall clean bathrooms. The employees are sweet and friendly and it is such a sweet local spot that has a community feel!

So much variety between their menu and in the actual shop; the baristas are friendly and there's plenty of spaces to sit depending on what you're feeling!

Beautiful space. Staff isn't warm/welcoming. More like doing us a favor is their attitude. Ok got past that. Now when the food arrives, the chicken in the salad is very undercooked. Where is the quality control, not sure. Even if it was thoroughly cooked, nothing to write home about. All in all, not great.

I love Mrkt space! The people who work there are always so friendly and helpful. They make the best drinks, the playlists are always just what I need to hear while I'm working or hanging out with a friend. I come once a week and love it so much.

went looking for a place with good charcuterie before seeing Wild Child (a Door's tribute band) at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. a quick Yelp search pulled up MRKT Space. newly opened but already on my radar (getting lots of positive reviews). very interesting shop with a cloying, hipster vibe (i can't really fault them for trying too hard) with lots of fun and unusual stock. definitely not your mom and dad's corner bodega. the MRKT Space board was amazing: salumi, soppressata, prosciutto, 3 kinds of cheese, dried apricots, cranberries, mixed nuts, jam, olives, whole grain mustard, gherkins, pickled onions and carrots, and perfectly toasted crostini. not too crowded, even on a Friday evening in prime time. airy space practicing good Covid protocols.

Today I met a friend for coffee and ordered the croissant with the guava filling and it was amazing. They really have done it again with the fresh pastries. Can't go wrong with a little sweet, tart, croissant treat with your coffee. Was delicious. I have to say I will miss the cinnamon roll. It was my favorite. But this new one takes its place for sure. Lavender latte is also delicious with the macadamia milk!

Clean, friendly, and delightful snacks. This is a lovely space to catch up with friends, have a quick meeting or have a little peaceful cup of tea as you warm up to the day.

Delicious coffee, and great service. Not to mention the wide array of things you can purchase from beer and wine to trinkets and household items. Love it Ambiance is nice and very work friendly.

Great place to study, hang with friends, all while enjoying a cup of coffee. They have a vast selection of bottled wines. It kind of is like a mini grocery store because you can purchase frozen foods, canned goods, pasta noodles, & more. They also have cute gift items throughout. They serve coffees, lattes, alcoholic cocktails, mocktails, sandwiches, & more.

One of my favorite places to go to do some work - nice open atmosphere and dog friendly! Best matcha in town and love the quality of food.
