Amazing little coffee/sandwich spot! PROs: Amazing views to take with your food/drinks. Lots of coffee and tea options that are made fresh to order. Several panini options that were yummy. We had the Crabby Jim and Ankle Biter. The staff were very fast and courteous. There were public bathrooms near by as well. CONs: Parking can be a challenge during peak times. read more

Was nearby for a wedding, decided to pop in for a hot beverage of chai pumpkin spice latte and a lemon bar Lemon bar: was craving more ratio of lemon, scraped the powdered sugar off so it was less sweet. Pumpkin spice chai latte: enjoyed the slight burnt flavor to it, in a good way. Asked for it less sweet, which I am glad . All in all cute spot, decent amount of seating read more

Lover's Point Beach Cafe - Lemon bar, needs more lemon curd - Cafes Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

The girl at the cashier was very nice, the food was good, and the view was beautiful. Unfortunately, the experience with the baristas was disappointing. When we politely mentioned that our iced coffees tasted very light and asked if a little more espresso could be added, they immediately rolled their eyes and seemed visibly annoyed. I'm not sure if they were related or simply close coworkers, but their attitude came across as unprofessional and unwelcoming. If a customer is respectfully asking for a minor adjustment to a drink they just purchased, it shouldn't be met with frustration or attitude. Overall, the food and location were good, but the customer service from the baristas left a negative impression. I hope management takes customer service and staff professionalism into consideration moving forward. read more

The food is excellent. I'd probably give it a 9 out of 10. I do like the gluten free clam chowder and their fries are so good and different from anywhere else. The view is amazing! Staff is friendly and super helpful and accommodating. I eat here pretty frequently whenever I'm working in the area. At night they have a heated enclosed patio so you can still hear the waves while you dine. Excellent cocktail options. Menu has something for everyone. read more

I came here with my sister and it felt like it was everyone's first day working at this Cafe. The line took about 15 minutes for us to get to the cashier & there was only 2 people ahead of us. They took another 15 minutes to get our order to us. The cashier ignored my sister while she was paying her with cash and was just spacing out. Honestly, the atmosphere was pure chaos. The only thing they have going for them is the beatiful view of the ocean. Food and beverages were not great and overall poor service and quality. read more

One of the most delicious double espresso shots ever. Added a pump of caramel sauce and the server was polite and smiled when taking my order. The eating areas were very clean considering it literally sit a few yards from the beach. Not much sand on the floor at all read more

Lover's Point Beach Cafe - Vegetarian smash burger made with jackfruit and a chipotle aioli! - Cafes Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

Beautiful cafe with an incredible view of the ocean. This cafe has a selection of coffee, tea, seasonal drinks, sandwiches, acai bowls, and some pastries. In the summer we enjoyed their peach iced tea, but their matcha latte was on the sweeter side in my opinion. They also were out of a lot of their food options when I visited, including no sourdough, my favorite :( The food was fairly good but quite expensive for pretty basic sandwiches. If you're planning on spending the day in Lover's Point it's a nice spot to grab drinks but I would rather picnic with better value food. For convenience though it's a pretty good option! read more

This is by far one of the best places to get a mid day sandwich from. I always go out of my way to stop here when I come to Monterey. 10/10 sandwiches/ paninis are the BEST. Fast service. Fresh food. Customer service is wonderful here as well! read more

Unfortunately, the only thing good about this place is the ocean view. If not for that they have nothing going for them. We ordered a banana muffin and a strawberry matcha latte. The banana muffin was extremely mushy on the inside and smelled funky, fermented and rotten sour. I had to spit the bite I took out and my friend refused to try it. She did smell it and confirmed it was bad. I've never had a muffin that god awful. So I went back and told them the muffin is bad. They tossed it and offered another selection. So I got the cinnamon roll. They offered to heat it up. I should have known that's a sign that the cinnamon roll was not freshly baked as well. We took a bite and the outside was hard, dry and stale. The inside was okay and soft which is how the entire roll should be. Then I had some strawberry matcha latte and it was like sweet like syrup! I went back to ask for hot water and used up 3/4 of the cup to dilute the matcha latte. Then we used their restroom and it was filthy!! The vent had nasty lint and dirt hanging off of it. There was no ventilation and it was just stuffy. The corner of the bathroom had cobwebs. Whoever owns this place has zero pride in their establishment and could care less about their customers health both in food and hygiene. read more

They took the order wrong, and then they made my wife's drink, tapping instead of hot. Period

Friendly, fast service and pretty average prices. We got an iced vanilla matcha and a hot mocha. Both were phenomenal, so delicious! Not sure why they have poor reviews, I think this place is lovely! Right next to the coast so the views are beautiful. Highly recommend :) read more

We ordered cappuccino's which were more like lattes, took way too long, and not very good. Too bad it used to be much better place.... Staffing off that day they said, the line cook was making the coffees read more

Service was really slow. Not everything on the menu had prices. The prices were shown once you placed your order and after you waited in the long line. Over priced for what you get but then again you're at Lover's Point. This could be a great place. Unfortunately I don't feel like returning for food. read more

Ah, the views is perfect. This cafe is kissed by the fog most mornings. A loving kiss indeed. You can feel the positive vibe. The view us 5 stars, however the hot chocolate is only three stars. It is not easy to meet the 5-star threshold. I do admit I have high expectations. The chocolate should be scalding and almost syrupy. Let's not skimp on that magical cocoa bean that in bygone days only the king could eat/drink. Back to the cafe, it is worth a visit after a short walk along the shore. Great staff. read more

Located right next to the Lover's Point parking lot, this cute cafe serves up plenty of delectable items, like breakfast sandwiches, crab salad panini, chocolate chip muffins, hot cocoa, and various coffee beverages. I got the croissant egg sandwich with bacon, and an iced mocha. Everything was made fresh and yummy, I even watched the bacon sizzle on the grill. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, with tabletops that actually light up with scenes of the ocean, and the actual ocean outside as a beautiful backdrop to this awesome spot. And the staff was friendly, adding to the bright and welcoming atmosphere. read more

This is a great cafe right on the ocean front of Lover's Point Beach. I go here often and have never had a bad experience with the food, drinks, or workers. They are extremely welcoming and friendly! On this visit, we got the club panini and breakfast sandwich with bacon. Also got a caramel latte, house drip coffee, and blueberry scone. The scone was one of the better scones I've had before and it tasted super fresh-- enjoy it warmed up! Both of the sandwiches were extremely tasty! Love eating at the tables right outside their store and admiring the ocean views while people watching! read more

Girls that work there seem to hate life and put that into the coffee. I got a Iced Shaken Cinnamon Espresso. It had almost no espresso and no cinnamon. Honestly terrible.

Not worth the money. After a day of kayaking we stopped in for a sandwich. We got 2 sandwiches for $30 with very little meat or cheese on it. Felt like we just got ripped off. It is located right at Lovers point so maybe you are paying for the view. The posted menu board didn't have prices on it so you are surprised when the total comes. read more

The club was delightful. The cold brew was pretty weak, way too sweet, and the "large" is not very large. The crab sandwich smelled kinda off... I think it was because of the way they make it, but it was a little off putting. Two sandwiches, a kid's chocolate milk, two "large" cold brews, and a bag of chips cost a whopping $48 . read more

Slow, zero communication between workers and costumers orders. no prices seen ANYWHERE, only reason I see this place survived is tourists practically being held hostage after they order. Good was pretty good, the panini was toasted and made right the acai bowl was just another acai bowl, go terra super food for an acai bowl (their prices are listed and it's lively in there) all in all, Bland experience read more

Great food, friendly waitstaff, great view out towards ocean. The clam chowder was fantastic, as well as the cioppino

LOCATION: Lover's Point in Pacific Grove, CA. It's right off the water, you can't miss it. PARKING: There is a 2-hr public parking lot and 2-hr street parking. If it's tourist season, parking MAY be limited but there is usually a lot of parking available. FOOD: I ordered the Lover's Point Club. It has turkey, bacon, pickles, and aioli. It tasted good, but it definitely wasn't what I expected it to be. Usually when I think of a club sandwich I think of a layered sandwich with lettuce and tomato-- and overall full of fresh ingredients. This sandwich was very thin and so small. It does not come with a side. PRICE: This tiny sandwich was $13! I understand due to this place being conveniently off the water and mostly a spot for tourist that food pricing would be high. But, I can't justify this sandwich to be $13. I'm kicking myself in the butt for paying that much for a tiny sandwich while there were other places up the hill that probably had better quality and quantity of food for that price. SERVICE: The staff were nice. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: I only came here because the cafe was conveniently off the biking trail, and I was in a rush to be somewhere. If I wasn't limited on time, I honestly would have picked somewhere else to eat. But, moving forward, I will not be back. Don't get me wrong, the sandwich was decent in taste, but I just can't justify paying $13 for it. read more

I have to give it a 5 star rating primarily for location. Parking is easy and close by. The views are spectacular. So what if the food is not 5 star. With views like tiis you can easily forgive that and just enjoy a hot cup of coffee and a small snack to munch on. And it's so close to my favorite beach. You just cannot beat it. I really do enjoy the delicious muffins and occasionally a donut. But a bacon panini is what sends me back time and time again. Can't be beat!!! read more

My family (myself, wife and two girls ages 6 & 8) stopped here to get some hot chocolate on our way to Love's Point Park. The staff was friendly and the hot chocolate hit the spot. We sat outside on the tables by the entrance and enjoyed our drinks and took in the view. read more

We were feeling hungry and was going to go to the grill but then the sign said "cash only" we turned away and decided to go here to the beach house Cafe. Ordered a lovers point club sandwhich: ham, bacon, cheddar cheese and pickled on sourdough bread. My son ordered a ankle biter: ham and cheese with sourdough bread. Sandwiches were not a big size but it was flavorful and the bacon grease remaining in the samdwhchich when biting into it gave it a more burst of flavor I would have to say. It was made fresh and warm when it was given to us since they have toasted it. For this I would still give them a 5 star read more

I'm sorry but no one should go here ever. The fact these people are working on a beautiful beach in California and have the worst attitudes ever is crazy. I have never seen such rude people before. Not only did I just pay $9 for watered down coffee, but the lady making it was extremely sassy and unfriendly. The guy taking my order was no better, acting confused when I ordered an iced vanilla latte. Safe to say I'm never coming back ever read more

Ordered an Americano and Belgian waffle. The coffee was very weak, not hot and honestly my hotel brew was better. The whole point of coming here was to get a hand pulled espresso beverage. Perhaps I could have poured it on the grass and moved on but this horrible little waffle committed me to providing some feedback. The consistency was heavy dense rubbery batter, not cooked on the inside. Also it was bitter served with a container of food service syrup. I ate half and a random seagull gobbled up the rest. read more
