Great coffee, with beans roasted on property. We were here during a holiday weekend and it took 35 mins to get our drinks. I don't blame them for being popular and busy. Much warranted with their great coffee. But a heads up on the wait when ordering would have been nice.

Good coffee, I had the Rhizome, my husband had the miel. They had a computer down, so ordering platform was a bit off, but the ladies at the register were kind and helpful. We really enjoyed!

Was passing through the area from a weekend in Monterey heading back home. The Wifey and I wanted a coffee so we googled best coffee near me and well Spearhead Coffee came up so I needed to try it for myself. The coffee we had got was amazing and worth every penny.

DELICIOUS coffee - that’s all I really need to say. Got their Mocha. Flavorful, wonderful consistency - rich. Service was decently fast. Looks like a large and lively coffee house too and they had a small but promising assortment of food. Really great.Un buen lugar para tomarse un cafecito - el espresso fue divino. Lo recomiendo!Parking: Large parking lot in the back with an entrance in the back too.

After discovering this place a couple years ago in a yearly Paso trip, I made sure to come back every time we are in town. The store is pretty, I love the cascading plants everywhere, they also sell merch and coffee beans on the corner. The couple times I have been it was always busy but usually still a couple seats available. We get a quiche and a latte and omg that quiche. I dream about that quiche and I cannot wait to have that quiche the next year after I just had it. It is super light, creamy, and the pastry crust is buttery, flaky and thin. It is usually the highlight of my experience when I visit. The coffee is also amazing, I usually get what the seasonal latte is and it never disappoints. The staff are friendly and quick so we usually don't wait insanely long. Overall would recommend for anyone in the area!

I've only been here twice and both times there was such a long line. I waited in line for about 15-20mins JUST TO ORDER, and then another 10-12mins for my beverage. I am not a coffee-chain person by any means, I appreciate local coffee, and I appreciate the craft. So i understand when local coffee shops take a little longer opposed to a chain like Starbucks or Peet's. But the wait at this place is ridiculous and also not worth it. I ordered a medium iced triple shot solstice latte and I didn't like it at all, so much so that I ended up going just a little down the road to a different coffee shop and luckily got a better one-- which was literally the same type of order except I got gingerbread flavor. I also called Spearhead to let them know of my disappointment and requested a refund. Considering the fact that I waited 20+ minutes altogether and still busy when I left, plus I was on my way out to go back home, I really didn't want to bother going back in to complain. About the drink: it was milky and lacked flavor. The solstice latte contains almond infused honey, cardamom, and ginger. I don't know why or how it turned out so underwhelming. As I mentioned, I drove down just a couple of minutes to a different coffee shop where I ordered basically the exact same thing and there was a nice balance of the espresso + milk + flavor. Through observation, they don't call out customers names when their order is ready. Instead, they call out the drink order or they only cal out names for mobile orders. But I don't see how this is a good method.

Next level coffee experience! Everything we tried was delicious & the Aztec Mocha was even surprisingly yummy!

Went inside one day after hearing great things about the coffee and when I went inside the strawberry blonde-haired lady was very rude to her staff members. The coffee was just whatever but the way she treated her staff was not okay. I thought after COVID people would be more grateful for having employees in their small businesses but I guess not. The staff was doing a good job with everything too and was very nice and quick on their feet. Will not be going back.

Nothing to write home about. Espresso was just okay, flavored latte was flavorless, but the quiche was amazing! Not worth the wait or $$

A very cute coffee shop with good matcha and delicious pastries.

Coffee with nice latte art! A very popular shop as you can it’s loved not only by the locals but also tourists. Nicely roasted house blend which compliments the sweetness of the milk. A slice of chiffon cake to perfect to go with the coffee.Highly recommend!

Great coffee and service. Nice place to sit and enjoy your coffee or pastry. It's close to downtown area across from the gas station.
