Unbelievably slow service. Don't come here if you value your time.

Love this place. They have wonderful options and the vibe is so chic. Good drinks, healthy food, great customer service and shopping to be had.
Comfy seating with a nice view close to all the shops and beach.

Its a cute place.
I ordered a cappuccino and a breakfast sandwich on ciabatta. The sandwich was good, except the cheese appeared to be velveeta and tasted super weird, totally de-elevated the whole thing. Also was very small and $15, not worth it. Pricing is not on the menu. The cappuccino was 20oz, which is not a cap, and the foam was insanely bad; giant bubbles. Shot was simultaneously tasteless and burnt. My wife got an almond milk cap, and it was another level of bad. Same 20oz. The milk tasted terrible and the foam was comprised of 1/2” diameter bubbles. They didn’t acknowledge that the caps were completely the wrong size after they asked for feedback which I provided, and made excuses claiming that almond milk doesnt steam the same and other shops use creamer with the almond milk to achieve good foam. This is false. Other shops use straight up almond milk which can be steamed to within 90% the same consistency of regular milk. My wife is a barista and we’ve consumed a lot of espresso in our lives. Other shops in the area, particularly lucky llama, have excellent technique and proper barista training.
Carp moon, I believe its time to brush up the barista training, or perhaps go in a different direction with coffee if its not your specialty. Also use normal cheese on sandwiches, velveeta is so weird man.

I ordered the avocado bagel, and it was honestly one of the worst bagels I’ve ever had. It was supposed to come with Benedict eggs, but they forgot them. When I told them, they brought out the driest, most overcooked hard-boiled eggs I’ve ever eaten. On top of that, the bagel was absolutely covered in black pepper—so much that my mouth was burning. Just a really disappointing experience overall.

As a local, this place sucks -
The service, the coffee quality, the atmosphere. None of it rings “Carp,” “beachy” or quality.
Go to Llama or Brass Bird for your Carp treats - this place sucks.

A definite gem! Both coffee and food are excellent. My girlfriend who never ever finishes her food actually devoured her entire waffle plate! Love the fact that you can choose from different seating setups (chairs, couches, outdoor seating, etc.) Service was attentive and helpful.

Delicious waffles! The coffee is yummy. Very much a Cafe vibe. Dog friendly.
Service Dogs: Be prepared for dogs to approach your dog.
One dog approached my dog under our table while we were eating. Not the cafe's fault, just be aware of the local culture. 👍

Not only were the drinks on point, the staff was extremely friendly and the service was top tier. Their team hosted an event for Porsche Westlake for about 400 guests and the feedback was consistent, great drinks and friendly service. Would definitely use them again.

Very strange decor! Very strange energy from management! Male staff member was dressed like trashy Street punk! I left after being ignored standing didn't even bother ordering.
I wandered in on a Saturday afternoon looking for a pourover coffee, disappointed to find the shop had only drip. Ordered an espresso and didn't have high expectations. Good grief, was I wrong! This shot was perfectly pulled, correct amount, rich, thick crema, not over extracted, correct temperature, I could've been in Italy this shot was so good. I had a second just to see if the first was just luck, but the second was the EXACT SAME QUALITY.
