Will always be a favorite locals spot. Wonderful owners and outstanding vibes. They make you feel like family!
Awesome ambiance staff and Owner. Great coffee and pastries or Chai and Samosas.
Limited GF baked goods.
Great little independent coffee shop. They make an awesome chocolate mocha. Definitely recommended!
We tried almost everything and it was all tasty! Great for vegetarians
Very cute and the staff is friendly. The food is very good!
What a beautiful café with a character of its own. Try the Mexican Mocha if available.
Quaint little shop with international vibes, great breakfast food and coffee selections, and happy employees!
Excellent service, barista’s are really eager to help you with various food and coffee options. Pastries were fresh and tasted really good. Cappuccino was perfect. Lot of vegan options as well.
There is no wifi at coffee shop, but drinks are good.
NO WIFI….but great service, drinks and environment!
Went for a wander and found this absolute gem! Probably the tastiest donut I’ve ever had and amazing drip coffee. I thought the prices were very good and will definitely be heading back there tomorrow. Love, love, love. 10/10 no notes.
I have an amazing experience every time I go to East Village Cafe. The people who own the place as well as the employees are the sweetest people on the planet! They are very generous, and always very kind and welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. You can just feel the good vibes in the air and can tell that they trult care about their customers. The have lots of tasty goodies (I personally like getting chamomile tea with soy milk and honey 😊). Be sure to check out their next door business as well, Maybe on Monday! Both are cute places in a lovely part of downtown Monterey. Thank you, guys, for going the extra mile!
Must visit cafe when in Monterey. Place is decorated with ornaments to give it a zen like vibe. Plus the himalayan chais are spot on. Whether be it with family or working individually, please stop by to stay caffeinated!
$3.50 for a 16 oz. tea. Nothing fancy, just a cup of hot water and pre-bagged tea. That price is absurd, not worth coming back.
What a beautiful little place! The service was amazing, so kind! We came back several times during our vacation. The matcha latte was excellent, their espresso was amazing as well. We bought a couple cute gifts as well that they offer at the cafe. Don't hesitate - you have to go!
It’s a very lovely place, the only downside is that I went in to study and well since it’s a coffee shop I thought they would have free wifi but they don’t. So if you want to study or anything that like don’t recommend
I didn't know Chai could taste disgusting, like a medicine taste almost. Instant regret, never going back. My boyfriends mocha was bitter as well. Plants were pretty and healthy though so that's cool.
Right now a homeless lady has set up camp at one table and the cafe is uninhabitable from the smell. Pre-packaged microwave burritos, a few pastries. Not worth the effort. There are so many good cafes and restaurants within a block or two.
Very fun atmosphere with great staff! Fun themed muffins for spooky season and very kid friendly!
