16 Best Coffee Shops in Monterey

“Great coffee, food and vibe. Opens at 0630 as well. The team were lovely 😊“

“Was here a year ago! Hopefully I get to visit this cafe again soon but never too late to leave a recommendation am I right, Great customer service 10/10 everything. I strongly recommend this cafe.“

“We came to this bakery because I read about their pastries. Particularly, about their almond croissants, and how incredible they were.

If you're driving through, do make sure you stop to try both the almond and the ham and cheese croissant. They are truly spectacular. Something special and hard to find.

I was disappointed to see how snobby? Annoyed? everyone behind the counter was. But I guess when your food is so good, that's a luxury you can afford.“

“It was a great place to eat. We sat down fast after putting our name in and the staff was really nice. Overall the food was tasty and so will be back to try more of their menu items. So good Guy Fieri has visited here too and I can definitely see why!!! (:“
