I've had multiple iced lattes and iced matchas here, and they've all had so much flavor even without any added sweetener! I love the hours here, and they were even open and had plenty of seating on Labor Day. It does get pretty busy during mid mornings on the weekends, but there's always plenty of seating. The only downside to this location is parking. Since this location is so close to downtown, the only parking available is paid street parking, which bumps up to around $5/hour if you stay past two hours.

A small matcha with nondairy milk comes out to be an upwards of ten dollars and has zero matcha taste to it. It genuinely tasted like they poured milk in a cup and then added a drop of green food coloring to it. I recommend cat and cloud one street over! They're all super friendly there so the ambiance is a lot nicer

MEOW MEOW…read more i think they are solid if you actually like coffee. their roasts run light. you will not taste bitter dark roast italian-style BAM BAM on your tastebuds that make you physically recoil and shout OI MARIO MAMMA MIA!! i wouldn't order anything above a 6 oz size for that reason. it is a super cute shop, basically in a garage situation. located near capitola hashtag malibu barbie. bathroom is relatively clean. music is at the decibel of hippie (aka too loud for uppity people) but good taste - i walked in to a kali uchis song! hail the queen! also equipment is goated (mahkonig and decent). service is nice. free drip coffee samples! i love samples (i go to costco)! i tried the house blend which was okay. then i tried the honduras lot which was better; could taste the nuttiness and rhubarb. i ended up picking up a funkier one (rwanda red bourbon natural) since i am currently sick of washed beans. anyway cool selection!! i also tried the chai which was a disgrace to south asian culture. it was gentrified TWICE omg. too sweet AND had a white color. real chai is brown. anyway. the flat white was alright - a bit too big and a touch overfoamed. next time i will stick to the single origin drip or maybe an espresso. lets give cloudy meow meow a 4

We walked in as a family (me, husband, our baby) and while we were deciding what to order husband asked for the restroom code. The tall male employee looked us up and down and said so, you gonna buy some coffee? Husband said yes...why? The employee said "I just need to know if you're planning on buying something or just here to use the restroom . " Why would we come up to the counter , peruse the menu and bring the baby inside if that was our only goal? It was so off-putting. Anyhoo, the interior was nice all black and some sort of rock/ metal playing. There's magnetic tiles to Create your own conspiracy or statement and other conspiracy type decor . I got a 5G is killing our bees which was nice and smooth flavored espresso drink and husband tried the NZT 49 which he liked. but only thing is we regretted not trying a black cold brew or shot of espresso to really taste their coffee. Maybe next time. And hopefully next time that particular employee will chill out a little bit on their restroom. Might I add, this was my 2nd attempt to go to this location. The first time they were randomly closed at 1230pm. Wish they would at least post a heads-up online or something.

Lol I would always wing it and never take a picture of their store hours either! So I'm sure it was operator error! I am so happy for this particular brick and mortar because the first time I met the owner was on a bicycle on West Kliff or maybe East not to show I used to walk a whole thing during the pandemic! He was a really cool gentleman selling coffee on a nice looking bike and everything was clean, cut! Their menu items have changed and I'm glad he got more coffee companies to collab with! I loved my Stimulation Theory- it was smooth and had great frothy flavor with the perfect accent of cardamom! Everything within the Cafe is black and there a lot of joint seating areas. Granted when I got there, the individual spots were already taken. I sat an area meant for a larger group. I also enjoy the death metal music, grated it was played at the normal coffee shop volume level. Hee. So I've never actually HEARD that style of music at such a low decimal level, so it actually was quite comedic to me. At the same time, I'm glad it wasn't super loud like other rock shows I've been to! But still very much a vibe!! I can't wait to go back and try other drinks and pour overs that they have!! I can't wait until they get pastries or some sort of pop-up since I love my carbs! Hee

Coffee, Ocean Views & a Mini-Retreat for the Soul…read more I've been to A LOT of places for coffee, and I'll just say it: I'm a coffee snob. So when I say the coffee here is awesome, I mean it! What makes this place special isn't just the coffee--it's the entire experience. Operated by the Catholic Church, this peaceful coffee establishment has a beautiful prayer garden where you can stroll, reflect, and maybe even get your thoughts straight before your second cup. My bride and I spent FOUR HOURS here reading, journaling, talking, and enjoying the serenity. And yes, we were still happily married when we left! The view of the Pacific Ocean is spectacular. You can walk across the street, sit on a bench, and simply listen to the waves. There's also a spacious patio, clean restrooms, friendly and polite staff, and an atmosphere that seems to say, "Slow down...you're allowed to breathe." This isn't just a place to grab a cup of coffee. It's a place to grab a cup of coffee, grab your thoughts, grab your bride, and grab a little peace for your soul. As a Yelp Elite reviewer--and someone who takes coffee VERY seriously--this place gets my enthusiastic recommendation. Great coffee. Great people. Great atmosphere. Incredible view. And a prayer garden thrown in for good measure. Sometimes you don't need a vacation. You just need four hours, two cups of coffee, the Pacific Ocean, and someone you love sitting across the table. #YelpElite #CoffeeSnob #CoffeeLovers #PacificOcean #CoffeeAndViews #PrayerGarden #MiniRetreat #DateDay #GreatCoffee #HiddenGem #CoffeeWithAView #SoulRefreshment
