Pretty solid joint. I had a chili dog with a side of potato salad and a modelo. It was surprisingly good, and the potato salad was killer.

Quite delicious. Cashiers and baristas are so kind. Customers are kind. Pretty interior.

We love this coffee shop. I often stop on my commute or when we want to walk the dog in Ord National Monument across the road or just get out of the Monterey fog. Love the little courtyard.

The place was very busy today but the girls working kicked out our complex coffee drinks quickly and with a smile. Super friendly. (Btw, the gluten free coffee cake is decadent).

A unique special coffee oasis.

Girl at the cashier was incredibly rude. Chile verse burrito was ice cold. Looked and tasted like bad microwaved food. Save your time and money :) I wish I did
No stars all around

Stop in every week or so for their banana cream chai latte!

Castle Rock Coffee knows what they’re doing. The lavender latte is chef’s kiss and the rest of the menu holds up, too. Just a heads up—there’s usually a line (for good reason), but it moves fast. Parking can be a bit of a mess, so take a deep breath, channel some patience, and know that the coffee is totally worth the chaos.

It was literally the best cafe at Norcal for me, their ube, macadami, banan bread so tasty! Croissants are very fresh!

We stopped by just for a quick coffee — and ended up staying much longer than planned! The atmosphere is beautiful, the coffee excellent, and the staff absolutely lovely. A big thank-you especially to the owner for sharing her personal story and her wonderful fascination with John Steinbeck and the spirit of this place.

Super great coffee shop and the employees are the best!! Highly recommend

Love their coffee and energy. They have a carrot cake latte that you will be dreaming about. I love to come in and try their seasonal drinks. The girls there have never steered me wrong with their recommendation

Had a great experience today. Teah was taking our order which was complicated but she got it on the first try. All while doing it with a smile on her face. Definitely be going back. Just needs more seating

Hands down mine and my daughter’s favorite place! Every person who works there is a gem and the owners are absolutely lovely people- local and women owned. It’s our happy place we plan to patron for years to come :)

Way to ruin a Moment! Beautiful sunny day enjoying a cup of coffee with my husband after a long bike ride. The girls inside were awesome. However, while drinking our coffee at the tables in front this old guy greeted us and said to park our vehicle correctly nose in. He was also pointing at Toro Cafe. Note: their customers were also parked parallel to the road. I completely understand if this place was busy with no parking available but this was not the case. We only planned to stay for a few minutes, if it was long term I get it ! He said it would help in preparation of the coming traffic . It sounded like he was the owner in which not a smart move. Well... I guess he cares more about his parking lot than customer service.

Here's a suggestion- How about placing some signs, so people know to Park Nose in to avoid issues like these! We only parked Parallel to keep our Bikes in Sight & not sticking out to on coming cars! He should have been more worried for the jeep that was parked literally parallel on the side of the road, that was truly blocking on coming cars from driving in but yet were the ones confronted.

• Note there was plenty of parking!

When treated like this it definitely leaves a bitter taste in your mouth
