PLANTATION Coffee Roastery

Tried the macapuno ice cream. Slightly on the sweet side. The waffle cone was good.

Sweet lil place with lots of beautiful smiles. The cafe owners and workers were so kind.

In all of downtown San Carlos, there are about a few places that sell coffee and ice cream, but there is only one place that serves both! I really admire the fact that the owners get up really early and start roasting their own beans on the premises. It's one of the few special places in San Carlos that I can get freshly roasted coffee beans.

On the ice cream side, they serve Marianne's ice cream straight out of Santa Cruz. Any alumni of UCSC will tell you that this is the best ice cream in that area. Once again you don't get a lot of vocal creameries anymore and it's one of the few where you can get it by the scoop or prepacked to take home! While I am a big fan of Mitchell's ice cream, I don't have to drive to San Francisco to get a good quality pint.

Love!! The coffee is roasted onsite. The coffee is spectacular. Best place I’ve found since I’ve lived here. Try the toffee or vanilla latte. Hot or cold!!!

I ordered an espresso with vanilla and blueberry ice cream. It was super delicious 😋

I love the bulletproof coffee!! Family owned business.
Excellent service and atmosphere!

Omg, this is the worst coffee of my life. I never knew coffee could smell this bad. I should have turned and walk away when I see the place is filled with retirees drinking drip coffee. We ordered latte and immediately regret when I see him steam milk with an uncleaned wand! The milk left on the wand had already dried! The Espresso beans are not freshly roasted. Definately will not recommended the coffee here.

One of the nicest people to ever serve coffee... and ice cream.
Stayed open after closing to serve a team of little leaguers and still had a smile on their faces.
They even replaced my wife's afogatto after she spilled it on herself (she can be a little clumsy).
Exceptional service and human treatment.
Highly recommended!

Tried Plantation today. Danish pastry OK but the espresso was very bitter and showed they have no idea how an espresso is made. If you want an even average quality espresso, do NOT go the the Plantation.

I have visited this cafe since I was 15 years old. I'm almost 30 now. This is a great place.
