Solid coffee, probably the only good coffee in the Monterey/Carmel area.

Their drip is actually good, vanilla latte tasted good, & you can tell they are “third wave” here. They roast their own beans here.
Kind service staff and clean cafe. This coffee shop is quite pretty, with large open spaces, large tables, and open doors.

The coffee drinks are typical, nothing exceptional, but what was curious was the lack of a board menu. I didn't know what food and drinks they had until I got to the front of the line, which really slowed down ordering.
Got the coffee from here and waited close to 20m just to get it. I ordered a flat white and it was very bitter. The coffee tasted burnt and was near undrinkable. I also ordered a strawberry smoothie and that was amazing. I'd come back only for the smoothies.
The service was slow and it was SO crowded in there. Just not enough space, plus there parking lot is super tiny/tight. I would only go back if I was feeling and smoothie and if I was literally passing by.
