If you’re looking for strong coffee this is it. But if you’re looking for more sweet lattes I wouldn’t recommend it. I tried their lavender latte and it was strong coffee

Coffee is solid but the staff act as rude as one would expect at a stuck up hipster joint. I guess the cost of good coffee is condescension for no good reason by uppity baristas. All that and it’s only take out.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely not kid friendly, nor dog friendly, either. They get bent out of shape at adults for standing in the wrong place when thinking about ordering, even when slow. I cannot imagine how they’d flip out on energetic kids.

Brought here by the reviews and online reputation that this is the best coffee in Monterey. We were highly anticipating the taste and flavor of this coffee from a local roaster, however, when we actually tried the coffee it tasted burnt and lacked a deep flavor profile.

We ordered an espresso and flat white (it was served as a latte size), both fell short based off flavor alone. If you’re an espresso lover that’s looking for a complex flavor profile in your coffee, we couldn’t find that here. The advertised fruity or nutty notes from the beans were non existent in our orders. In fact we didn’t finish our drinks. We’ve never tried the roasted beans that you can buy, so we can’t say the coffee itself is bad.

This is a pick up and take away place, just having a small stand up counter. They also sell baked goods like donuts and jarred cold brew.

All in all, wouldn’t recommend.

I think this place is a money laundering operation. They’re literally never open. In the last 10 times I’ve tried to go there they are close. And it’s like 9am

Service was not great and the latte I spent $7 on was pretty terrible.

We were visiting the area and wanted to try a local coffee shop as we do when we travel. Went in after seeing the 4.8 reviews. I ordered 2 20 ounce cold brews with oat milk and hazelnut. The cashier asked me how much milk I wanted and showed her. Which was nice because I don’t ever get asked. When I got the drinks I was wondering why it looked so dark, but since we were heading back home, I made the mistake of not checking the written order on the cup. When I drank it I realized they put almond milk and not oat milk, and it was also written incorrectly on the cup. The cold brew was stronger and a bit more bitter than others I’ve had. So I didn’t have the best impression as far as taste goes.

This is a place for people that do take away espresso. Barista pulled two shots over after smother and the only consistent fact was both were awful.

Came in today 10/5 for the first time and asked guy at the register if he recommended something and he responded back with attitude saying to order what I always order anywhere else. I did come in 10min before closing but didn’t feel welcomed, won’t be returning coffee wasn’t that tasty, seemed rushed

I love the emphasis on great coffee (latte for me) and not a place to set up a laptop and sit around for a couple of hours. While there, try the oatmeal cookie, yum, or the ginger cookie, amazing!

Parking: Get your goods and drive 3 minutes to the state park beach. Enjoy!!
