Cutest spot with a gorgeous view and an area for kids to play/run around. Ping pong table, cornhole and tons of seating. Kraken with vanilla cold foam is insane! And cute hot cocoas for the kids. Can’t wait to come back!

Kini Coffee is my absolute favorite and it's just the most darling little coffee bar! The location is dreamy...on top of Del Mar Plaza with an amazing view of the ocean! They have a lovely menu and everything looks delicious! To be fair, I do not drink coffee, but I drink everything else there, and all of the drinks are ALWAYS yummy (think specialized chai tea lattes, cocoa and warm cider)! All of the staff is amazing, and Gemma is my absolute favorite barista! She is lovely and helpful and always creates delicious drinks for me! She makes me feel like a very special visitor every time I visit and she always remembers everyone's favorite orders! ! When I bring my kiddos, they have a blast playing table tennis right next to Kini Coffee and Gemma always helps with replacing wayward balls! Don't hesitate, just go and enjoy ;-)

Such a cute little coffee shop at the top of Del Mar Plaza! Great view of the ocean with a cooling breeze. Great place to come work or hang with friends as there is plenty of open seating with shade. I had a great barista named Becca who made my coffee and gave great suggestions on what to order. I will be stopping back in!

The owner, who served me, was very pleasant and friendly to deal with. She was helpful and knowledgeable. The dirty chai latte was delicious and I LOVED the pretty cups with bright pink lids and bright pink sleeve. I’m impressed that the business is women owned and operated. I highly recommend it.

My friend and I went on a weekday morning in the winter and the patio area still had plenty of seating and was a really pleasant experience. That is definitely the main selling points is the atmosphere. The coffee is good for sure but I’ve had better coffees. I do like that they have a bunch of special options that are fun to try and different than what you might get somewhere else. The barista was also very friendly and patience with me as I explored the menu.
