Carmel Valley Coffee Roasting Co

This place is open and only for to-go. Order a tripple shot 16 oz latte and though I have had some really good espressos,this espresso shot has a tinch of smoke in it which was heaven to have. Definitely among the top 5 I've had in this country. Not kidding. I would buy tons of their beans next time. Not sure how they roast their beans but that smokey taste had me.

Good coffee and food options. Expect a short queue. Not many tables but you can walk down to the beach

About one of the few places that was actually open for coffee that wasn’t Starbucks. The staff is nice and the inside looks as if it would be a great place to hang out in with friends, business or just to do some work.

They have quite a few options, I got the vanilla latte and my GF got a drip coffee with cream and syrups. Both of us were not impressed with the overall flavor. It wasn’t bad, but we definitely make better coffee at home, at least that’s what my GF tells me all the time. We would go back if we had the chance? Not sure that actually quite the toss up for me or her. Might end up at the local Starbucks instead.

I'm a simple guy, I always have a cup of drip coffee with half & half. It was a good cup of coffee I got from here.

We went to this cafe based on the great reviews online. We ordered a Caffe latte, a house coffee, a chai latte and an apricot-almond scone. I would have to say that the coffees and the chai were let downs. The scone was cold and hard, but they warmed it for us upon request and it was really good. Cafe latte was all milk, no coffee. Overall, an average experience.

Excellent drinks and snacks here! I love the Italian cream soda (strawberry flavored). The staff is polite and helpful. The prices are reasonable. This is what Starbucks and The Coffee Bean SHOULD have been but never will be, because those businesses are a gigantic chain backed by a faceless conglomerate.

A small town coffee house, excellent food and drink, and charming ambiance.

Such a cute spot! Great fresh pastries and tasty breakfast sandwiches. We ordered a chai tea latte with almond milk, a smoothie, turkey sausage breakfast sandwich and a cinnamon roll and everything was good. Quick and easy, definitely recommend!

The coffee we bought in the shop were good, the pastries delicious but 2 of the three bags if coffee we bought “taste like dirt” as one of my recipients put it :(
I did have a taste and it is very gritty coffee. The third bag has not been opened by the third recipient. I will be contacting the store for a refund on the 2 possibly 3 depending on the feed back. Very sad.

I came to this store simply to get a hot chocolate and a double espresso for my father in the morning. Once I started ordering, the unpleasant lady taking the order told me to move so she could give another persons their order. After ordering, I had to wait 10min just to get a simple hot chocolate and double espresso! When I finally got the hot choco, I tried it and it was the most bland tasting watery hot chocolate I have ever tried. My father had a similar problem, when he tried the espresso, it looked soupy and tasted bitter. He said it was soupy and bitter. I will not come here again.

I'm easygoing, so not many coffee shops will cause me to make a "gross" face at first sip, but this one did. The hype is incomprehensible. Ordered a cortado, got back a vile concoction of espresso burned, ground too fine, and pulled too long - combined with poorly steamed milk and no foam to speak of. The crumble cake is okay, but rather bland.
