Had a good time in this nice little coffee shop. Really like how the coffee shop is decorated. My latte was good too. Would recommend!

Cute little coffee shop, clean interior design with wooden high tops and bar chairs, delicious treats and great coffee. Barista was very friendly, too. Highly recommended.

Loved this place! Cute little cafe with all kinds of merchandise and little outdoor seating area. They let me bring my dog to the patio! (You have to walk through the shop to get in and out of the patio, NBD.) I really enjoyed my coffee and cards I bought and I was very happy with the service. The women that helped me out made the experience delightful. Will be returning!

My drink is an almond cortado and you can imagine I often have to settle for a latte. Well not at this place! The coffee is good, they don't screw it up, and everything is exactly the right temperature. Also they make their own syrups! I don't go for mochas much but if you do do yourself a favor and try the spiced chocolate.

Without exception, the best Cafe Latte in town. Love this place, and come often. They bake scones and croissants every morning, both fantastic. The use Straus Creamery's Organic Barista Milk. This is what a hand crafted espresso drink should look and taste like.

They made a very good pour over, but limited on selection. I will certainly come again if I'm in the area.

Wow, hip little java joint connected to local arts & crafts boutique. Mellow cool creative shared space. Highly recommend the pour over here. Exactly what cannery row is missing.

Delicious coffee - the butter chocolate is everything!!! Every time I'm in Monterey I go here and enjoy an iced latte with butter chocolate. It's a little hard to spot, it's in a building that is split level (possibly a duplex on top) and they share the bottom level with a super fun (and pricey) boutique shop filled with what appears to be hand made goods. You cannot park out front, but I usually don't have difficulty parking on a side street nearby. This is not the stay, plug in and hang kind of coffee shop - they don't have a ton of seating options so I would still recommend you stop here, just don't expect to stay for long.

Had a couple of very nice lattes from here - well made, using good coffee and nicely foamed. The cafe is set within a very cute shop. Bought a nice card from there too. There is indoor seating as well as a few chairs on a little front patio.

I visited Monterey a few days and it doesn't really deserve a place this great. It feels like a cafe you'd find in Austin. Simple, quiet, and high-quality. My cortado was perfect, it's the first time I've seen hand-pulled shots. Thanks for saving me from bad coffee.
