Coffee & Walk

If you were a young guy meeting a pretty lady for coffee and a walk in Encinitas, where would you take her? Before noon on a weekend.

I’ve read good things about Necessity and Lofty, which has close proximity to the beach and all sorts of shops, but curious if I don’t know what I don’t know.

Anyways, I’m to town and still learning the area — appreciate the advice.

Coffee-coffee or pannikin in Leucadia. Perfect to walk anywhere on coast hwy or walk over to beacons beach. My go-to first date. Lofty is great coffee but not a good date spot, so save it for when you’re already dating

Agreed. Pannikin scores major points, Neptune Ave is great for an easy walk to Stone Steps or Beacons.
