    Lemon bar, needs more lemon curd
    Kim T.

    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

    Beach area next to coffee shop

    Simple coffee shop right next to lovers point beach. They've got coffee and sandwiches with seasonal specials posted by the front. Plenty of outdoor seating. Can't beat the view, and prices are reasonable especially for the location.

    Gluten free clam chowder
    Karen Rae S.

    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.

    I came here to get a drink and food after we went to the beach. The place was crowded and had a few tables but they were allWe ordered the chai latte and grilled cheese.

    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.

    Cute coffee spot with lots of seating, and stunning views. I've only gotten coffee here, always delicious and to my liking. Friendly service from person taking my order and another one making coffee were both personable.. even shared a few laughed I like to stop here while I'm on my walk.

    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

    Vegetarian smash burger made with jackfruit and a chipotle aioli!
    daniel n.

    This place has it all! Great seating and ambiance, friendly staff and amazing sandwiches! For the picky eater there are hot dogs and grilled cheese sandwiches. For the more adventurous pallet there are my favorites the Cuban with ham and spicy sauce and the new vegetarian smash burger made with jackfruit! Full coffee bar as well, for whatever your coffee needs are!

    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!

    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.

    Iced matcha
    Alicia G.

    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 :)

    In front of the cafe a beautiful view of the sea . We ordered the Lovers point club, Egg & Ham Croissant and Large Iced Mocha for lunch . The cafe has seating indoor and outdoor..self seating and service Order to the Cashier and pick up the food when the staff call your name. Sandwich and Egg Croissant were Warm and yummy.

    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.

    Decided to try a different breakfast spot than our usual place and I am glad we did. From the…read moremoment we arrived we were greeted and welcomed. We had the option of indoor or outdoor dining. Based on previous yelp photos I decided to try the Cappuccino and I am glad I did. Made with LavAzza coffee I felt like I was in Italy again. My husband and I decided to share the combo plate. Scrambled eggs, potatoes, chicken sausage and a homemade biscuit. The salsa that it comes with is amazing so don't skip it. The portion was large and plenty for two people. The food was fresh, and flavorful. While the food was great, I think what makes this an amazing spot is the team. Each person was attentive, very friendly and made sure everyone had what they needed. I think we discovered a new spot and plan to be back. Oh and I love that they have a sign out front about providing a sandwich even if you can't afford one.

We ordered the corned beef hash & the chicken…read morepot pie. -Taste: Their version of corn beef hash was definitely unique & not a version I had encountered before. The meat was in cubes with veggies & a white sauce. Given that information, it had no flavor. The sauce was watery & barely added anything to the dish. Similarly, the chicken pot pie was incredibly creamy with not enough seasoning to balance it out. -Service/Staff: Despite being sat by the entryway, staff barely checked in on us to see if we needed anything. On multiple occasions, they checked on other groups around us, but not us. This was slightly upsetting as we felt invisible. -Overall: This place was just average. Nothing was particularly stand out about the food & the staff wasn't attentive during our visit. We were hopeful as it had great reviews.

If you ask the locals for a non touristy place to eat, this is it! We've had breakfast and lunch here. You cannot go wrong with any of their menu options. The people working here are down to earth and friendly. We normally will ask them for recommendations. We enjoy their Classic BLT's, the Meatball sandwich, the Hot Pastrami, and the Cobb Salad. As far as breakfast is concerned, we love their chicken fried steak, Denver Omelette, French Toast, and pancakes. Overall, a great local restaurant with years of experience. The food is delicious and the employees make you feel welcomed. We will have to come for dinner next time!

    I'm sorry but I didn't found anything special in their food or menu…read more Egg Benedict same to any other placer, I know is a classic but flavor wise aren't in the good side, Hollandaise sauce tu much lemon. Country potato arrived as we order crispy but no onion, no bell pepper.... Just potato French toast , you can innovate a lot with this dish, but thin slices of whole wheat bread for a French toast? If you looking for something healthy to eat, you don't going to order French toast . The good in this dish the orange sauce. Portions are generous and price fair. The place really needs a good face lifting and cleaning. Most of the time you can see how clean is the place when you use the restroom.....and wasn't clean........... Best overall Rhonda our server, she was very nice, talking with us, checking our table and refilling coffee very often. Great job Rhonda, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Unfortunately I do not coming back to this restaurant if I'm around the area.

We sat in a separate banquet room and loved the ambiance and floor to ceiling windows. My white mocha only got better with each sip (chocolate settled at the bottom), and my cheeseburger made with Angus beef was so juicy and satisfying. I should've cut it in half to save room for the sweets. The salsa that came with my cousin's Quiche Lorraine and strawberry spinach salad was so delicious that I ordered a side of it for my fries. Urbano kindly shared the recipe when I asked. Although it was a red salsa, it also had tomatillos, which gave it the salsa verde flavor too. Wish they bottled that. My sister was ok with her Crab Cakes but wished she had ordered the Crab Benedict instead. I also had a couple bites of Nutella waffle that we ordered to share. Urbano also gave us a big cookie that we took to share later at the beach. How sweet!
