Hillary FolsomJuly 28, 2018Very efficient in dealing with long lines. I love the no WiFi just coffee kinda vibe. Great place to relax
David HutchisonApril 5, 2013Great location, gluten free muffins, and one of the few coffee shops that has coconut milk instead of soy or dairy milk. Highly recommend this place!
John SchroederMarch 9, 2011The tuna melt is superb. Never had one like this before. Served open faced on your choice of bread. No mayo but peppers and olive oil I believe. Highly recommended but hard to get in on a weekend AM.
Josh NolanMarch 25, 2018Excellent coffee blends anywhere from Ethiopia to Bali. Great espresso as well. The pastries are MONSTROUSLY large, prepare yourself haha
TylerMarch 20, 2012Victorian house I'd celebrate any occasion in, best coffee beans in SD with great pie and breakfast options near Swamis before/after surfing.
jakubikSeptember 21, 2013Awesome and superstrong coffee, lovely staff, and honest home-made tasting muffins
Paulette PovarMay 4, 2012It would b better with wifi that's the only reason i won't go sometimes. Cozy and always snells yummy. Love the coconut ginger tea with milk
Deirdre HollisOctober 13, 2012Really great place. Make sure you make time because there's eye candy everywhere and most of it is by local artists.
The toasted coffee almond tea is the BEST! Purchase a bag, take it home, and make amazing tea lattes, hot or cold, it's all good!
InfamousTonyJMarch 31, 2012All of the pastries are handmade on site. Owner Shawn is amazing! Try spiced chai and the blueberry pie.- Service has become somewhat lousy but this is one of the only places I've found that sells 100% Kona coffee beans and 100% Jamacian coffee beans. They also sell beans from countires that are cheaper.
Sarah WynnFebruary 12, 2012Parking can be difficult, especially mornings & weekends. Don't be afraid to park far away & walk here!
Pelin Güvenç KefelMarch 22, 2016Love how they've turned an old train station into a cafe, great decor the pastries are really good.- Peter KrasilovskyJanuary 30, 2012lattes are the best. indian curry salad is good. rhubarb pie. watch out...some pastries may not be fresh.
Emily WarrenMay 30, 2015Amazing gluten free pumpkin nut muffin! Great funky, relaxed atmosphere too.
Jennifer BurlingtonNovember 4, 2011No wifi makes it a good reading/writing spot. Good tuna melt and all the muffins are good too!
- The quiche is awesome. Tell them to hold the cheese they melt on top...so good without the extra calories...
Hands down the best coffee shop in the entire universe.
Ian WatsonJuly 6, 2011Thank god this historical building was spared and turned into a place everyone can enjoy. Huzzah!- Jennifer BurlingtonMay 10, 2012No Internet. Good for people watching, writing or the like. Coffee is just ok. Staff is a little snobby. Don't go on the weekend unless you want to wait in line.
Dallas CyrOctober 20, 2011Great place. Small business community feel. Awesome coffee and killer muffins! !- bryan jacobsJuly 4, 2011The real deal. Forget McBucks coffee.. This is a serious old school beach town coffee shop..
The Orange rolls (only available on Sunday) are unbelievable. Best iced mocha in California.
Order the chocolate cream pie and sit on the patio, heavenly!
