42 Best Coffee Shops near Pacific Grove

“Delicious coffee and cool people!“

“Great selection and events like open mic on Tuesdays.“

“I would highly recommend getting a breve latte with a pecan sticky bun and walking down to the beach to eat it. The bitterness of the latte with the sweetness of the bun is a great combo and sunrise breakfast while feeling the sand between your toes is amazing.“

“There's not alot of starbucks with great customer service
Im not sure if I got his name right Riley was great and kind,patient and welcoming and so friendly.
I was absolutely happy with his customer service.
I wish everybody in all starbucks had his positive attitude and smiles always.“

“Fun place … great dogs and atmosphere!“

“The good part, the food is pretty decent. I loved the flavored iced tea they used to have until the machine broke, probably back in March. It was delicious!!! Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any urgency to get it repaired or buy a new one. I come in all the time asking (they are annoyed by my repeat questions, lol). I’m very sad about the no iced tea!

The bad part is the service, specifically the rudeness from the employees. I know that they are super busy, but so are other extremely busy places (example, in-n-out). No excuse to be rude. I guess that is not a quality that the owner cares about in their employees. Again, sad. Kindness comes from the heart.“

“For years and years my family and I always chose a bagel and morning ride around the beach for a perfect morning. Our tradition! I miss it so much all the way from Texas, my new home now.“

“I recommend getting your kids involved with the wonderful experience.“

“Love the place and atmosphere. The food is outstanding along with the service.“

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

“We love Cafe dal Mare 🤍 It’s a cozy, inviting place run by a charming, local family with heart and soul. Everything there, is gourmet. My favorites are the hazelnut ricotta chocolate cake and cafè mocha; which they hand craft with a beautiful ganache; and their lemon tarte, which takes me back to the Amalfi coast while still enjoying ours! They’re also pup friendly, which makes for a fun stop on our daily adventures in town. Now, if Akira would only stop eyeing my cake…!“

“Lovely bakery near the historic of Monterey, Parker-Lusseau is savored by many visitors and locals alike.

It is always busy and has limited space inside and only outdoor seating so I seldom make it in but one of my coffee club members loves it so when the boys were elsewhere early in the morning I pooped in for a cappuccino.

Friendly and efficient, the team was working hard to get thing into the cases and serve the line already there.

They were great to greatw, which previously had not been my experience, and set my expectations, and nicely directed me to where I could wait for the drink where I chatted with a visitor.

The pasteries and cakes are known to be amoung the best in the local area.

They serve Acme and my cappuccino came with a beautiful foam.

Worth a visit if you've never been.“

“Super cool spot with a lot of local shops! Food, spa, coffee, wine, everything!“

“My wife and I were just looking for a quick grab-and-go coffee in the area and stumbled upon this place. Wow—we were so impressed! The coffee was excellent and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the neighborhood!“

“I tried the flat white with a splash of honey, and honestly the coffee tasted amazing. The flavor of the beans was rich, smooth, and toasty — you could really feel the harmony in every sip.

The place was very busy with a constant line of customers, which says a lot about their reputation and quality. Despite the rush, the staff stayed fast, professional, and efficient with customer service.

The only downside is that there’s really no place to sit or dine in, so it’s mostly a grab-and-go coffee spot.

Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. Solid 4 out of 5 stars.“

“I love stopping by Alta for something to eat and a great tasting coffee!!“

“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.“

“The pancake platter was good the only issue I have is service was not as expected for only five tables and two servers I should’ve got a little bit better service“

“A great way to start a rainy Sunday morning. Sharing 1 savory /1 sweet crepe with your partner in crime. Absolutely delicious.“

“Nice place to have family gatherings..very nice restaurant and foods they serve..“

“We had very nice anniversary dinner at Stationaery. We sat outside, since we still do not feel comfortable for an indoor seating due to pandemic. The evening was cool, but heating lamps made it comfortable for longer and leisure meal. Both food and service were excellent. We highly recommend this friendly restaurant and will be back for sure🤩“

“Stopped in while my car was being serviced down the street. Have been there a couple times before and really enjoyed it but really just chilled today. Had a mocha and a Fessell (sp?) and decided to stay for some tea (Scarlett) after. Emma and I chatted about many things and I even got to pick out some vinyl to play while I hung out. Truly good vibes here (and of course, coffee and tea are ON POINT) Check it out!“

“We had a good experience at Marina Donuts & Bagels.

The donut holes, cinnamon roll, and the mango boba were good.

The staff was friendly, and the store itself was clean during our visit.

The main downside was the long wait, which took away from an otherwise positive stop.“
