39 Best Cafes near Seaside

“Such a great place ! Not only for the amazing shakes and teas, but for how amazingly sweet the whole staff is. They always greet you with the most friendly welcome. The shakes are so delicious! They come with inspiring quotes written on them, good vibes all around :) My favorites are the cake batter and the chocolate covered honeycomb, but they have amazing choices and sometimes festive montly specials ! They also do teas without caffeine for the kiddos , my daughter always asks for one. They also have tables with cards and Jenga so it's super kid friendly or if you're looking for a place to enjoy yourself.“

“Love the green matcha milk tea with boba! My new favorite drink…“

“This cafe is practical because you have a coffee right next to a computer zone, so pretty neat. On terms of service, you cant expect it to be best, expect to encounter the cashier with an attitude or to have your coffee not like you ordered. Other than that pretty good.“

“We ordered our lemon raspberry wedding cake with buttercream frosting from Parker-Lusseau Pastries, and it was everything we dreamed of — absolutely delicious and beautifully made!
From the start, working with Anne was a wonderful experience. She was extremely responsive via email and made sure all of our requests were fulfilled. The team was so accommodating and ensured our cake would be ready and perfect for our special day, which gave us such peace of mind.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good the cake tasted — light, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness.
Side note: Their almond croissants are incredible — we’re obsessed. We’ve already decided to come back on our one-year anniversary to pick up a mini version of our wedding cake and relive the magic of that day.
Huge thanks to Anne and the whole Parker-Lusseau team for making our celebration so special!“

“I eat here maybe 2 times a week. I always get the kabob wrap which is amazing!! The drinks are awesome too“

“Amazing Mbjeu! Try it! Wonderful staff and their cocido is great too“

“I love this wonderfully baked bread!“

“Very enjoyable outdoor atmosphere, while dining in the beautiful, warm sunshine. All of our meals were delicious. Bread served beforehand was so good, too! Pricey, so can't go often, but will definitely go back on special occasions.“

“I wanted to write the perfect review but I won't be able to do that. The people there were so nice and so warm. The location is in an old house in historic downtown Pacific Grove. But I can't let this go, the prices were high (as expected) and then they did the old trick of, "Did you want chorizo with that"....without telling you it's a $6 upcharge for two teaspoons added on top of your $17 plate of chiliquilies. So for $23, you get a full plate, I mean piled high of tortilla chips covered in a homemade red sauce (delicious). A table or teaspoonful of queso fresco per the recipe (delicious), two fried eggs, and sour cream on the side, (awesome). Most recipes for this dish that I've eaten will offer a choice of protein. Chorizo is a very common breakfast protein for this recipe. I would argue that it should be part of the recipe regardless but if you ask people, "Do you want chorizo on that?", many will say yes for the reasons I mentioned above. But when the bill comes watch out. It was a $6 upcharge to my $17 choice of breakfast. If it's an upcharge you have to tell me in advance. "Do I want it?", is one question. "Do I want it for the price you will charge me?", has to be a separate question. If it's some amount that high, an extra 1/3 of the price of my breakfast, then you shoudl feel extremely obligated to tell me how much. Don't make me feel like an a-hole bringing up your sketchy business upcharge practices to you in the middle of a super-packed breakfast/brunch rush when you hand me the bill. I didn't bring it up but I wanted to, very badly. As good as the meal was the experience left a bad taste in my mouth and more than a week later I'm still shaking my head about it. For a place that thrives on tourist and word-of-mouth business, there's no reason for this type of shady business antics which leads someone like me who otherwise really enjoyed this place to go to the trouble of leaving a bad review. I probably won't go back due to this.“

“Nice collection of Turkish sweets. Ambiance was great. There was a Turkish tea bar but we did not try it. Kids tried out 2 samples .. figs and pomegranate based flavor and they liked it. Later we decided to get a small pre cut assortment of the sweets. Price was $39.99 per pound .. a bit pricey !!! However the kids enjoyed the treats. And the turkish speaking lady and the gentleman behind the counter did make us feel welcomed. BTW Do ask for price of items you pick to buy as not every item is price tagged. Overall a positive experience!“

“This charming coffee shop offers a wide variety of freshly baked goods for breakfast, such as egg sandwiches, bagels and French flûtes with tomato and mozzarella. The coffee and chai tea are excellent. Homemade jams are available to buy. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. It's a meeting point for the local community. If I lived here permanently, I would come here for breakfast every day.“

“The owner and staff hold an annual Christmas Toy Drive to serve children with parents living with HIV/AIDS and/or HepC. Plus, you can't find better food, more friendly staff, or a really cool venue.“

“Stumbled upon this lovely Cafe and we were captivated by the food, ambience and overall service! All day breakfast mean and the Apple strudel were soul warming. Perfect brunch in a cool autumn day :) it’s low-key but 100% cozy like a warm blanket.“

“I always have lunch at cafe del monte. The staffs are nice and kind. Especially the chef and the man who gets orders. Their cheeseburger is one of the best. I think there are 3 number one burger in LA. Innout, five guys and Cafe del monte. I highly recommend you to try their cheeseburger.“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Pros: smoothies are for 5 stars
Cons: food was for 3 stars
We got vegetarian bowl and 2 broccoli cheddar soups unfortunately were disappointed with taste. Very plain. And we eat this type of food all the time.
With kids meal fruits were so-so and our san didn’t eat quesadillas that he usually is a fan of.

Great location, nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff.“

“Please know that I am a cook and a food connoisseur. My friend and I dined at Corkscrew Cafe last evening. We were blown away! Every dish we ordered exceeded expectations! It was a perfect party of palatable joy! A friend of Christina's had recommended the Meyer's Lemon Prosciutto Pizza. Serious magic on the tongue!!! And the crust... I normally don't eat the crust of a pizza. I devoured every bit. My favorite pizza is a margarita pizza. We shared. It was every bit as delightful as the Meyer's lemon! I'm a calamari snob. HANDS DOWN the BEST calamari on the Monterey Peninsula! Tender, light, fresh Monterey Bay calamari. And they are brilliant enough to serve it with both tartar sauce and a delightful cocktail sauce. You MUST experience the PEAR SALAD! We delightfully sipped LaMarca Prosecco during our meal. The servers were friendly and caring. The pizza cook a genius! We asked if we could bring fresh gluten-free pizza dough and if they would use it to prepare a pizza for Christina's daughter next week. They are happy to accommodate! It definitely without any hesitation is worth the drive into beautiful Carmel Valley!!! I can't wait to go again and again. I have to try their pasta with Bolognese and their short rib...♥️♥️♥️“

“Our group was in town for a wedding and we’re desperately searching for a place we could watch the Browns game Sunday Morning at 10am and Trailside delivered! They not only let us take over the TV and bar area but they provided exceptional service and the food was amazing! Highly recommend the Pesto Chicken and the artichoke app!!“

“Always a beautiful experience. Staff is fabulous. We have a few Faves, like Sanjana, Tammy, Alda, Esteban, Roland. We’re treated very well and food is always very good. Locals meet and greet and it is fun to be recognized and appreciated. thanks everyone. We love coming in for a visit and lunch.“

“Best pastries ever. Their chocolate croissants are my favorite“

“Picked up food to go last year and it was really good. So happy that we found this place again! Ordered garlic parm and spicy fried chicken wing plates, lemongrass chicken and beef meatball pho. Also ordered strawberry and melon boba milk tea and Vietnamese coffee with egg cream. Food and drinks came out quickly. Customer service was great. It was so good that we ate and drank everything! We will definitely come here again when we’re in the area.“

“There are varieties of delicious breads that you can try and all very fresh“

“Love the beet salad, blackened salmon, kids love the burgers and Philly cheese steak sandwiches...lots of great options and friendly service. Especially great for anyone living off Highway 68 or Laureles Grade, great place for dine in or take out.“

“So glad I discovered this place during my stay near Asilomar Conference center and beach. They are located in the Lodge for Asilomar, an easy walk on their trails, and I enjoyed morning lattes and quiche, and evening wine and sunset views from the Lodge deck. Lovely.“

“Love broccoli cheese soup!“

“This place is a hidden gem! The falafel wrap was the best I've ever had!“

“I had a late breakfast here the other day, and it was exactly what I had in mind. The food was absolutely delicious! They ensured that I had everything I needed, and my coffee mug was always full.

I’m not a picky person when it comes to interior or exterior design, or even the type of music is playing. I only care about the food and service, and they did great 5/5!“

“The menu had a nice variety to select from. We enjoyed an order of fries, the Mahi Mahi, a burger and the Burrata Salad with salmon added. All of the food was delicious and the view was gorgeous. We had the perfect view to watch the full moon rise.“

“Tidal was a Starbucks alternative, since we wanted to try something new. Oatmeal latte was excellent! The egg wrap was hot and delicious. The fruit was fresh. I recommend it. 👌“
