California Coffee

I don't drive this way often but when I do, I make sure I stop by here and grab a delicious latte and burrito! Anything I have tried here on the menu is great! The live music and family feel-good vibes here really make the experience worthwhile. The owner and staff are fun social people to chat it up with and make you feel so welcome. I encourage everyone to visit this sweet gem of a spot tucked away in Aptos.

Lovely spot to enjoy a coffee or any of the other drinks & food offered. Nice indoors & lovely patio. Music on some weekends. Sylvia, the owner, is a beautiful woman who treats customers like friends & family. The coffee is good too! ☕️😊🐾

I used to come here a lot when it was a different business (almost a decade ago). Been a while, but I came in with a healthy dose of skepticism... but I am SOLD.
The macha latte is divine. I recommend. The staff genuinely friendly and helpful. AND the clean bathroom is a huge comfort for the weary traveler.
Come come, come ye, come all!!!

Neat little coffee place. I did not care too much for my coffee flavor. But I was trying a new thing. Lots of fun decor and vibe.

I found this little gem on my way to Carmel and I am SO GLAD I chose this place. I needed to take a work call in a quiet and professional setting and California Coffee came through strong.

Parking was easy and felt plentiful. The staff was friendly, efficient, and attentive.

I ordered the Pistache latte and it was INCREDIBLE. I asked the barista if it was sweet and she assured me it wasn’t too sweet (if I had a nickel for every time I’ve been mislead with sweetness level in my life…) She was right. It was perfect. Not too sweet, not too bland, subtly flavorful. AND they have decaf espresso beans.

I will most certainly be back here.

The food and pastries looked great and very fresh also.

The WiFi was fast and reliable and the walk set in background was so good, my coworkers commented on how cute it was.

I’ll definitely be back here!

Best place in Aptos by far. Have the best green goddess smoothie ever made personally by the owner Sylvia. The food is amazing. Also, you can grab vegan gluten-free dairy free treats made by OMSOUL. Come on in and enjoys the relaxing environment and the great community fives vibes. Come on by and say hi to Sylvia on Saturdays live music and call an amazing crew. Hallelujah for this California coffee sanctuary

Very nice, relaxing place for a coffee

Very pretty little spot w excellent coffee. The barista is very skilled! Small fenced mini dog park. Lots of bagels, pastries etc. good for breakfast or lunch.

I came here for the off-the-charts atmosphere and received one of the all time best cups of chai I've ever had! Plus the staff is truly lovely. No other coffee shop compares to this place.

Cute place, great location. My coffee is basic. Breve latte with brown sugar which is hard to get wrong. I removed two starts because I thought it was extremely lame that she actually charged me .75 cents for a scoop of brown sugar. I am the type of person who visits a town and tries every single locally owned coffee shop. Never in the over 100 plus coffee shops that I have had the pleasure of trying all over the Western Hemisphere have I ever ever once been charged for sugar. So because i asked for “brown sugar” that was a special request syrup charge worthy of half the price of a box of brown sugar. Its not that big of a deal but worth mentioning and enough to not go back. A small latte only half full at that because it was more like a cappuccino full of foam for 6.50? Hard pass. Starbucks is next door to my bungalow and the same coffee was 5.00. I also was turned off by seeing Costco muffins at a locally owned place. I like when they bake their own or source locally from other bakers. So I removed a star for that too. Coffee flavor itself was 4stars.
