Darshan Bakery Cafe - Encinitas

The woman with the long dark curly hair has a really unpleasant demeanor and a negative attitude. When I asked for regular coffee and they had run out, she refused to sell me an Americano instead. Overall, this coffee shop is quite disappointing. They often have limited options, it’s not well-organized, and I don't think it’s worth your money.

Overpriced and mediocre at best. Amateur coffee and grocery store quality pastries at gourmet prices.

Cutest bakery with exquisite baked goods and lovely service.

Unfortunately the reviews I see listed here are from the pre pandemic times. The management has changed since then. We used to faithful customers FOR YEARS...since it was opened by Tim and Heidi. Not any more they have gone. There isn't much selection now and the bread for sandwiches runs out before noon. What kind of business model is that? I wish I understood the situation and could help. The restroom seems to be always closed and some of the help is just unpleasant. It's like we're annoying them to ask for help. (Others are very nice and helpful in a tough work situation) We need Darshan to thrive and be part of the Encinitas culture.

Seriously, the best Morning Bun I have ever had! So flavorful and crunchy on the outside!It is best if you go early because they are REALLY crunchy and they sell out pretty fast!
