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.
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.
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.
