It's a casual vibe with a forestry mural sketched on the wall. We sat on a wooden communal table with bench seating. If you're dining alone, it's not awkward to find a seat. Share the table on a first-come basis. No reservations are needed. The plaza has boutiques, restaurants, and a dog grooming business.

It's a quaint little coffee shop tucked into the corner of the courtyard, so it's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. I customized my matcha and got a strawberry matcha with vanilla cold foam. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but it was still decent. The service was quick, and the baristas were very friendly. It's a nice little spot to grab a drink while exploring the harbor.

I'm typically suspicious of French cafes, they never really hit the spot, and not because I try them with the expectation of getting a true French style product, but I'm just very often disappointed by the general quality. I'm so glad I gave this a go. We tried both savory and sweet pastries, and they were all absolutely delicious. To the point that I ordered a few more to go. The croissant with cream and berry was gorgeous, not overly sweet, which is sadly so rare, and the feta cheese and mushroom pastry was amazing. The person behind the counter was also super sweet and helpful. If I were a local, this would be my almost daily spot.

One thing I really appreciated was that they opened at 5:30 a.m., since many coffee shops in the area don't open until 8-10 a.m. or sometimes even later. The location is right off PCH, making it a convenient stop, although the parking lot is very small and I could see it getting crowded if there were a long drive-through line. We initially parked and walked up to the door thinking we could order inside, but found out that orders are only taken through the drive-through that early. The ordering process was quick, and the barista was friendly and efficient. The drinks were decent overall, with a good coffee flavor, but nothing that really stood out. One thing that surprised me was the cost of the add-ons. My sister changed her milk to oat milk and added a pump of hazelnut, and both were an extra $1 each. The hazelnut flavor tasted good, but the additional charges felt a little steep. Overall, it was a convenient stop with solid coffee, especially if you need something early in the morning, but the pricing for customizations would make me think twice before ordering drinks again.

She took our order, and about 15 minutes later I was living my best life with hands down the best steak and eggs I've ever had. The sirloin was pure beefy goodness and cooked exactly how I wanted. Honestly, it was a little slice of heaven on a plate. My sister and niece split the champignon toast and a Dutch baby that looked like it floated down from the brunch gods. My mom went classic with scrambled eggs and said they were buttery, soft, and delicious. I will be here all day of I describe everyone's meal so I will leave you with this... the whole place has this cozy library-café vibe with a cute little bar tucked in the corner.

Their pastries are yummy as well, but come in the morning when it's fresh. The service? Great.

I have done a couple meetings here (sit outside, inside is too loud) and it's been the perfect spot. The trees provide shade so the sun isn't a bother at all.

It's so cozy, old timey and just feels like fall, I have been wanting to try it for the longest time and I'm just so disappointed I couldn't even finish my drink because it was that bad. I ordered an iced matcha latte with pumpkin cold foam (something I make at home and have ordered at other cafes countless times). I'm so sad to say this drink just wasn't good at all, the "pumpkin" cold foam tasted like orange flavored medicine and left a terrible after taste in my mouth. I'm honestly not sure if they accidentally put the wrong cold foam or if that's actually what it tastes like. There was absolutely zero cinnamon, pumpkin or any type of spiced flavor. As for the matcha, I also couldn't taste that at all. It was pretty much just a cup of citrusy/medicinal flavored milk:( I really wanted to go back inside and ask for an exchange but it was busy so I just took my loss on almost $8.

Being a decent person or human being is free. She was so rude, I completely lost my appetite and just walked away. I simply asked for a menu with prices and she kept gaslighting me telling me it was on the digital display to the side. I was so confused (because I didn't see it) that I asked my young kids and wife if they see anything and she kept insisting it was there. Then when she looked she said "oh I guess it's not there." No apology, only attitude and entitlement.

Parking is not easily available. If you're lucky, you can park on the street right next to the shop. If you can't find parking there, you'll have to look further out. THE VERDICT.

They have cookies with fillings! And also some shakes and "dirty drinks" (flavored sodas). They have classic cookie options on the menu all the time and several cookie types that rotate weekly. I purchased two cookies and a drink. They have a couple tables inside but I decided to take the cookies home and enjoy the drink on the road. The two cookies I chose were the chocolate chip and the cookies & cream plus the Coco-Loco as my drink. The Coco-Loco is best described as a coconut Coke. It was fantastic, way better than I expected. I appreciated the finely ground ice in the bottom portion of the cup. My pet peeve is when places fill the cup to the top with ice and your drink is gone in three sips but here they provide just enough to keep it cold and refreshing. The cookies are presented in their own box and are large. They are soft cookies but ever-so-slightly crisp on the outside with soft fillings. The chocolate chip cookie had a filling that was essentially chocolate chip cookie dough. It was incredibly delicious and I would definitely get this one again. The cookies & cream had what tasted like Oreo frosting inside and was very good. It was a bit messier as it has crumbles on top and also the weight of the filling caused the soft cookie to fall apart, which one must be conscious of when eating these cookies. It's actually easier to eat when it's in a few pieces. Being a cookie-lover, I find what they have here to be better than what you get at other well-known cookie stores.
