Lovely coffee house. Charming artwork. Excellent coffee. A place where locals gather. 4-5 visits now. Panini breakfast burrito was surprising and delicious.

Great vibes at Headlands. It's cash only, so once you get past the idea you're buying coffee from the Cartels, it's fine. I sampled all the coffees with a splash of 1/2&1/2. I ranked them but have forgotten their names. Sorry. You'll enjoy every one. We ate the bagel with lox. Very tasty. You'll find some olive oil on the bar. Stop through and relax a while. Bonus points if you bang out some rhythm and blues on the piano.

My girlfriend and I both got the most flavorless chai lattes for $4.90. Maybe they have good coffee, but the chai’s were so watered down, and lacking in flavor. Very disappointing.

Holy quads that latte was so smooth, from the milk to the consistency of flavor. (Ordered hot latte with whole milk and a white chocolate mocha both hot) and 10/10 would come here every day!! Seriously come sit and yap here with a good cup of coffee.

cash only! Great food options but if you’re looking for anything other than black coffee I would go elsewhere… Definitely more of a diner coffee vibe.

Charming and delicious, but service mishap spoiled the experience This place is truly unique — full of charming details and a cozy, vibrant atmosphere. It’s visually interesting and feels warm and inviting. We came here for breakfast and loved the variety: sandwiches, pastries, soups, and a wide selection of drinks. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious — especially the sweets!
The downside was the service. We waited about 15 minutes for a table and stood in line to order — the place is very popular with both locals and tourists. We placed a fairly large order for two adults and two kids. While drinks and ready-made pastries arrived quickly, our main order never came.
After 20 minutes of waiting (assuming it was just a long prep time), we asked — and found out our order had been lost. The staff was polite and apologetic, but we were offered no gesture of goodwill — no discount, no complimentary item — just words. Unfortunately, we were on a tight schedule for a tour, and had to rush through hot soup in 7 minutes, which really affected the experience.
That said, I’d still recommend this place — the food is great, and the atmosphere is special. Just be prepared for long lines and possible delays. If you’re not in a rush, it’s a lovely spot to relax and enjoy something truly tasty.

The high star reviews make no sense. Aside from the fly infestation from them keeping the door propped open with no fan, the menu is limited, and the food is about average. Lox, you could get at a grocery, waffle equivalent to a continental breakfast at any hotel. There are also far too many rules against coffee refills or sitting for a to go order. You can't get a box to go if you ordered too much..... Just go somewhere better.
Very popular place that earned its popularity was a good food and good service

Walked into Headlands Coffeehouse to grab a drink and was immediately questioned—not about my order—but about what was in my own Nalgene bottle. Staff acted like I was bringing in a controlled substance and told me they could be liable if I got sick from my own drink. Seriously? Let’s be clear: this was my sealed, personal bottle. Not something they served. Their logic? Completely made-up. There’s no health code that says a business is responsible for what a paying customer carries into their own mouth. What this really was—was a power trip and an overreach. Instead of focusing on customer service or the quality of their overpriced drinks, they were busy playing hall monitor. I left without ordering, and I won’t be back. If you value being treated with respect and basic professionalism, try anywhere else in town. This place doesn’t know the difference between hospitality and hostility.
