    Inside and menu to the left.

    Walked in to this establishment and looked around. They don't really have a menu at least not an extensive menu. The menu blends in with the rest or the decor. It's spray painted graffiti. There are no prices listed. We decided to get two coffees. One hot and one blended. My husband really enjoyed his latte. My mocha was too watery for my liking. I wasn't into the decor. It's a very dark coffee shop and the decor makes it even darker. Definitely a place I would just grab and go. I like a lot of light and this place was way too dark for my liking. Their service was great. The gentleman who was working there was really kind and got our drinks to us pretty fast. Overall, I have a few other coffee shops that in my opinion are better all around. I didn't care for it enough to go back.

    I've had their coffee a few times but this was my first time buying their ground coffee for home use. I found these guys at the Cambria Farmer's Market. The friendly sales dude told me all about their coffee beans and flavor profiles. I bought the templetucky. A mild medium roast that is very drinkable expecially with cream.. Not the coffee to get if you like bold dark flavor, perfect for me though. - Dark Nectar is pretty much the opposite of Spearhead Coffee in Paso Robles. Which is a good thing because those guys came across as as snobby.

    Green tea kombucha was amazing!

    Looking for better coffee, less crowding, and a more quietly sophisticated, laid-back vibe? Dark Nectar. From their well-crafted coffee (the Kentucky & Templeton blends are so good) and kombucha drinks, to the rustic, restful, comfortable decor (no veneers or plastics here), to their live music nights with food, beer and wine, Dark Nectar offers it all. We've enjoyed stopping here when: pulling a long service day; needing a quieter place to talk or study; or just to enjoy a cup of their delectably different spiced chai. One of their enigmatic but friendly baristas has talents extending beyond just making a great cup of coffee - she's sometimes made (not bought) almond milk for the lactose intolerant set, AND is a singer/musician in two local bands that have played here and around the Central Coast. Whether you be a bonafide hipster or borderline recluse, Dark Nectar is the spot you seek.

    Very different vibe, with graffiti on the walls & ceiling. Great service, lively atmosphere & good coffee

    Take note the Italian restaurant food is only available on Thursday please call ahead . It will most likely be expanded however starting Thursday , and this was the first Thursday the 5th of March Coffee is good that always has been, the beer selection is pretty good too nice craft beer, but the New Deal is a baddest Italian chef and he is awesome and we could hardly wait to eat it's wonderful come and try it when I get the menu may be changing but man good things are happening here

    Great atmosphere and employee is really nice. He has made our coffee twice now. They do have some specialty drinks that I believe are not on the menu.

The brand new Nana's has gluten free pastries, coffee beverages featuring local brews and a truly kind staff.

We tried their Mexican mocha and vanilla latte. Both were very good with a rich coffee flavor that we like. We also had their chocolate chip scone which was very good as well. They also have gluten free pastry options. Overall, a great coffee house. If we are in the area next time, we will definitely stop by for some more good coffee and pastries! Happy Nom Nom!

I could barely see the pastries in the case. No worries though, I saw what I came in for. Purchased a French baguette for $3.70. Beyond amazed at the price. Excited to have some with my coffee, I ripped off a piece almost immediately and noticed the nice crust on the outside. 5 stars for the crust!! As for the flavor, it seemed a little flat. It was lacking some of the wheaty-tangy flavor you would get from a longer prove/fermentation. The inside of it was also missing all those nice deep pockets you see in a French baguette. Overall, not a bad baguette, but not one that you yearn for. I'd like to mention the young lady Annabel I had the privilege of meeting outside of the bakery. She was on a delivery run, but told me about their IG page, and we had a wonderful chat about cookies. Thank you for your time, Annabel, you are awesome!

They also offer a Queen's Tea served in the charming backyard, which looked absolutely adorable and made for some wonderful photos. The outdoor seating has a cozy garden feel, with an Alice in Wonderland vibe, while the High Tea room inside is intimate, with just four tables. One table seats four guests, and the other three seat two each. During our visit, it seemed like nearly every table was celebrating a birthday, which added to the festive atmosphere. Atmosphere and decorations are off the chart. We started by choosing our tea from a full page of loose-leaf tea selections. Each tea arrived in an adorable little teapot with a beautiful china teacup. Shortly afterward, we were served a small coleslaw, followed by the classic three-tiered tea tray. The tray included a lovely assortment of finger sandwiches, fresh scones with clotted cream and jam, crumpets with additional preserves, and a top tier filled with miniature pastries and macarons. The portions were just right, leaving you with a sweet finish without feeling overly full. High Tea was $50 per person, which we felt was well worth it for the experience. I'm not sure of the current price for the Queen's Tea. Be sure to leave a little time to browse the gift shop before you go. It's filled with everything tea lovers could want, including beautiful loose-leaf teas, charming teaware, and the cutest fascinator hats. There are also plenty of picture-perfect spots throughout the property, and don't skip the restroom...it's worth a peek! Every detail of the Tea Trolley is thoughtfully decorated, making the entire visit feel like a special occasion. The service was also spot on. Not rushed but thoughtful and kind.

We received a welcome cider upon arrival and given the opportunity to check out the shop. Once all parties arrived, we were escorted into a side room where our high tea would take place. Each person was able to order their own pot of tea and shared the tower of sandwiches, scones and petit fours. We had a cucumber sandwich, egg salad sandwich, ham sandwich and almond butter sandwich (because neither my friend nor I eat salmon). The sandwiches weee tasty. The scones were flavorful, as were the desserts. It was such a lovely and relaxed experience. There was no rush and we were welcomed to walk around the grounds as we enjoyed our tea. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I would gladly return in the future!
