I think I just found my new favorite cafe. The vibes are great, the service is excellent and the food and drinks were top quality. Their menu looks great, I can’t wait to try more items.
The service was just the best, keep up the good work!

I had a great experience at Locals Collective. The service was friendly and quick, making my visit even more enjoyable. I ordered a vanilla latte, and it was perfect—smooth and just the right amount of sweetness. The croissant with egg and cheese was absolutely delicious—flaky, buttery, and satisfying. Definitely a place I'll be returning to for both the coffee and the food!

There were multiple house flies in the establishment. The employees ae not tracking where the flies go but I can guarantee they were attracted to surfaces where food is prepared. My $10 croissant sandwich was constructed from a croissant placed on a naked food prep surface versus a piece of clean foil until the end just before handing it to me. The employees would grab containers of honey to make overnight oats that were handled by another employee running the POS terminal who didn't have gloves on and I saw interacting with a K-9 just before grabbing the same honey container. All during the preparation of my food. Yikes! Cross contamination nightmare in action. It ruined the whole vibe. Glad it was not an UberEats order or the like.

Nice place to grab a bite to eat before you go surfing and it is a nice place to hang out and meet the locals

Got a coffee and sea salt cookie. Atmosphere was surf cool, service was friendly and warm! Food and bev tasted fresh and good. The counters were a bit sticky and when I paid with a couple dimes and nickel they said they only accepted quarters. Bizarre but I got what I wanted, thanks!

Dang—y’all really gonna serve so much single-use-plastic, when you’re just a block away from the beach??
I am glad you have for-here options (which I happily asked for) but it seems none of your other patrons know to ask for them. I’m appalled by the amount of trash being created!
We all know by now that over 90% of plastics (which are made from fossil fuels) do NOT get recycled. So how can you help your customers do better?
I see you have a sign about no plastic straws, which is great, but doesn’t mean much when you’re selling this much coffee wrapped in plastic.
Maybe you can ask customers if they’re having their drink to stay? And encourage a real mug?
It’s such a shame to be a beachside cafe that’s contributing to hurting the ocean. Thanks for considering greener options.
And if you’re a customer reading this: you can ask for a reusable mug to stay!

Locals is a great little coffee shop right by the oceanfront. The surf aesthetic is perfect, and totally in keeping with the chill vibe of the cafe. As for the coffee, they can do no wrong. I love the flat white, and would like to go back for some of the juices sometime.

Lovely spot to hit up on your way to the beach. However, I recommend you place your order ahead of time as they have no sense of urgency. Lately, it's been about 45 Mins to an hour for an online order. Perhaps they can use a refresher on customer service as well. Other than that love it

My go to place after a surf lesson!! I love their delicious morning sammy, which I ask for no cheese due to lactose intolerance, and they’re always able to accomodate. I love their coffee, I love their matcha, and I love the overall atmosphere of the place.
