Boutique coffee place, looks nicer than the coffee was. Would try something else if I went back to the area.

Pretty average- service was rude/indifferent, just one kind of drip coffee though it was good (I think they’re more of an espresso spot). Pastries were sold out by 9 am Saturday. The space itself seemed like it might be nice for hanging out and working in, with both indoor and outdoor tables.

So mixed. Our drinks were fantastic, the vibe was so cool, but they hate handicap people. There is a big step outfront, there is a ramp on the side/back for us to enter like steerage.

Good coffee, comfortable ambiance to sit and talk with friends or to just get done work done on nice chair-table and sofas. Excellent LP turntable with good records. Good staff.

Ordered a vanilla latte, received a latte which was OK. Asked for vanilla syrup to be added to it, and this was the most sickening sweet vanilla I’ve ever had. Didn’t get beyond a sip into it.

Bottom line - they make a good cup of coffee, the best we’ve had in Monterey so far. The interior is spacious, and it’s a good place to hunker down and crank out some work for an afternoon. The interior theme is a bit… witchy - lots of crystals and random religious items, so be aware if that’s not your thing. At the end of the day, if you’re in need of some solid Java - this is your spot.

The coffee is perfect albeit spendy. It's a good place to hang, at least when it's not crowded, which can happen quickly because it's small. Not to be missed is the stellar Salvador Dali-centered mural in the back alley, created by local mural superstars La Neta.

Love this place for the drinks and kind staff. Some of the pastries are over priced in my humble opinion but that's the only low point.

Funky coffee shop in Seaside. Stan Getz playing on vinyl. Good coffee, adequate seating. And as far as funky... It is next to a dispensary, so out on the sidewalk, the funk is olfactory.

Wonderful espresso .. incredibly comfortable chairs … a real turn table with music ranging from jazz to Brazilian to country to classical guitar and lovely sound. This is the real deal ., a place that invites people to go solo or gather together and seek shelter from the ordinary …a place to feel “a part of beauty”. And the baristas are excellent with one person named Sophia who rises above like the masterful foam she creates.

Lovely coffee. Hard working staff. Awesome ambience. The reason i’m giving it 4 stars is because the coffee could have been warmer. Thanks!!

I had the best flat white in this cafe! I loved the atmosphere and they even had some gluten free treats! Definitely coming back!

Was passing through and thought I would try it. Trendy place in seaside. Got an almond milk mocha and it was ok. Only one size and it was 5.50. The espresso seemed a little weak. Probably wouldn’t return.
