Counterpoint Coffee

Coffee is alright.
This place has a definitive vibe akin to a dive bar in Portland.

While waiting for my drink I noticed the decorations by the lil fat Budda. In Catholic Orthodox beliefs "Icons" are windows into heaven. Not mere paintings. They have a "icon" that is distasteful. Mary should be a image of feminine grace and beauty. Christ child should be a symbol of life. Instead they have a chaotic image of death. Why? Just why? Sells Coffee I guess.

Oh well. I've been counterpointed to any other coffee place.

Aside from this they have an awesome
Medicinal store nextdoor 🥰 !!

Solid coffee, nice choice of baked goods, and great service!

Amazing coffee & amazing people!! We met the owner & one other staff member (didn’t get her name) but they were so kind to us! The owner made us an amazing drink called the undertow and it was incredible! (Highly recommend it) Can’t thank them enough for the good vibes & coffee they offer!

Awesome spot! Kind, knowledgeable folks behind the counter slinging some top quality espresso. The space is sharp and comfortable with great tunes and just enough warm sunny spots to balance the cool, modern-industrial space. The care and integrity in their process is clear and much appreciated in my cup. This is the place to go for a quality cup--no question!

I am staying at a nearby hotel. I asked my friend to pick up some good coffee (Starbucks isn’t my preferred coffee place). I wanted a large cup with oat or almond milk. Good news is that they had almond milk. Bad news only one size cup and my coffee is barely warm. Sad.

Lovely bit of community and coziness in the area. The owner's heart and care for the place comes through easily and none of the tea/coffees we've tried over the past year or so have been letdowns. Easy recommend.

What a great ambiance! The shop is cozy and modern with a variety of seating options. The staff keeps a record spinning from their eclectic selection, the coffee is great and there's some alcoholic options if you are so inclined. This will be my go-to spot for getting a little off-site work done.

Seriously the coolest coffee shop in the Monterey Bay Peninsula. I love the calming and relaxing atmosphere that Counterpoint radiates. Amazing spot for an afternoon hangout or study sesh. All of the employees are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, especially behind the espresso bar. The coffee is absolutely delicious and addicting. They also sell alcoholic beverages and snacks to go with either coffee or alcohol. The location is also within perfect distance to other shops and even the beach. Plus Counterpoint has amazing taste in music, a quality record player, and a recording studio!

Definitely check this place out if you haven't yet, you will not be disappointed.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere. They have great artwork, fun books to look through and for purchase. The coffee was very good and well made. I also appreciate their earth friendly products!

Got a latte here a few times. Milk smelt faintly spoilt and tasted mildly sour each time. Looks like they keep all their milk outside in a bin with ice, but the ice had run out. Feeling a bit sick after drinking the coffee. There were little bugs on the items in the display case. Unhygenic.
