    Grassy area
    Brittany R.

    Such a cute little coffee spot! We grabbed nova a couple times while in town this week. Convenient takeout window for picking up coffee on the go. If you'd like to sit and enjoy your coffee and a pastry, they have a (gated in aka toddler parents dream) grassy/dirt area with tables, some toys, and a handmade car/ball track. This kept our toddlers attention long enough for us to grab a bite and finish out coffee. I tried a few things throughout the week and their coffee isn't spectacular and can range on the sweeter side. I would recommend it overly sweet coffee isn't your thing, definitely order your drink half sweet. All of the drinks I tried throughout the week were good, but not spectacular if you're a true coffee enthusiast. We also got the chorizo burrito which was something I probably wouldn't get again. Overall, if you're looking for a decent coffee spot where you can sit down and enjoy your coffee while your kids play, this is the spot!

    Easy drive up window and parking if you want to go in. We drove up to the window and ordered 3 drinks. All the drinks were delicious! A lot of options to pick from. The person at the window was helpful and friendly. There's a nice patio area in the back to relax and if you have kids room to play.

    Candy Cane Jitters seasonal special
    Carelle V.

    FOOD: Surprisingly filling and delicious breakfast burrito. I was expecting the pinto beans to be dry and make the rest of the burrito feel dry but no. The salsa was a delicious addition. At first I thought it was all going to be egg in the bite and a tiny bit of sausage but each bite had eggs, sausage and beans! I would definitely get this again. SERVICE: Super nice employees. Patient and quick even with long lines it was fast paced but did not sacrifice the quality of food and drinks. AMBIANCE: It's a drive thru type of a coffee shop. They do have a "coffee garden" if you will behind the shop that you can sit at and enjoy your coffee and breakfast. Sometimes they do have little events/meet up in this area. Parking can be tricky if you do want to stay and enjoy your order that way. Creative seasonal specials. Candy cane jitters was delicious. I was worried that it might be more milk than cold brew in my coffee but it was a perfect blend. I taste the coffee and just the perfect hint of the peppermint. Highly recommend and SUPPORT LOCAL!

    This was last year's review but I took it down as they removed the sales tax, and I haven't been by since June 2025, but when I ordered online today, the sales tax is back! "I really like the coffee here however I was not aware they charge sales tax. I had a couple questions on some recent charges and was explained that there is a sales tax applied. If you order online though, there is no tax applied so it is a bit confusing and I was under the impression that coffee is a non taxable good, especially if it is to go." I attached my email receipts for reference.

    Matcha

    We got the monkey bread muffin and two matchas, one with blueberry and oatmilk and the other with strawberry cold foam. The matcha was very green, wasn't grainy and tasted delicious, it was too good to gatekeep. The muffin was also very good and a large portion size. The prices are also very reasonable, our two 16oz matchas were $15 after customizations/add ons. :)

I am a coffee snob and have my own espresso machine at home but love visiting new coffee shops and Tribe Coffee did not disappoint. Was given recommendations by the staff, based on what i usually drink and tried something new and different and I truly enjoyed it. Skip the chain coffee shops and come support this very unique coffeehouse. Will be back! In this visit we had a kids hot chocolate, Honey Rose Latte and Velvet Virtue.

    Pistachio Rose Latte: The floral notes of the rose and nuttiness of the pistachio are well-balanced…read moreagainst each other. Not too floral and not too nutty. Somehow they really do blend together. Now one would expect the drink to be more green or pink somehow but it's pretty natural, which makes sense with the overall vibe of the place. No artificial colorings or flavorings here. Ham & cheese: The pastries seem to rotate so there isn't a set food menu. They had an assortment of pastries available and my preference leans more savory so a toasted ham and cheese was perfect for me for lunch. Service was friendly and informative - they have a pretty extensive menu but the staff know the menu and can offer recommendations. The ambiance is really what would deter me from coming back. Personally, it's just not my vibe, feels a little bit claustrophobic like I'm in a old beachside cottage or mini barn. The floors are worn and tired and pained this jarring shade of teal. The plate my ham and cheese was served on was a similar shade. Blue is not a color that triggers appetite traditionally so I'm curious as to why this choice was made. If I were to come back I'd probably either sit outside or take my drink to go. Really a bummer because the latte was so good. But again, just personal preference.

    Excellent coffee! Delicious food and bakery! Above and beyond service! Our go to coffee shop now…read moreand my weekly fix. Atmosphere: From the outside, it looks like a tiny hole in the wall, but once you step foot onto the patio, you'd realize you've been transformed into this adorable, tranquility space. They have both open air patio and fully cover patio that's perfect even when the weather outside is a little chili. There are even toys and kids book for the little ones in their cover patio. 1 star Customer service: Jaimie, the owner, is one of the most personal and interesting person you'd ever meet. The very first week that I started coming here consistently, I was so surprised when I CALLED, not even ordering in person, to order my usual Dolomitti for the 3rd time in a row, she immediately recognized my voice on the phone and knew my usual preference of coffee ice cubes in my drinks. I soon became the "Dolomitti lady" lol. It still amazes me how she can remember that given all the customers she gets each day. 1 star Quality of coffee/drinks/food: One of the reasons I can't help but keep coming back to Perfetto is the wide range of food and pastry goods that they have to offer. I try not to drink coffee first thing in the morning, knowing it would turn into a very effective laxative. It's definitely a huge bonus that not only does Perfetto offer plenty of sandwiches/paninis/salad options, but they're one of the best I have had. My go to every time is the Tuscany panini. They use sourdough bread from Grover Beach Sourdough, which cannot get better than that. The bread is perfectly pressed and toasted with the perfect crunch and cheese pull. Besides, it's a given that I love the coffee here to keep coming back and ordering the same thing. 2 stars! I don't think I've ever gotten a hot drinks from here, so I can't personally tell if they do latte art or not. However, when the drinks and the food are too good, I could care less about the latte art and keep coming back here at least once or twice a week. 1 star If you're in the area or just passing by, I highly recommend checking out this place. Plus it's conveniently located just right off of 101. So no reason not to. I just wish they stay open later and all 7 days a week! This is the breakdown of my rating for coffee shops: Quality of coffee/drinks/food: up to 2 stars Consistently offer latte art: 1 Star Atmosphere: 1 Star Customer service: 1 Star

We got the turkey Avacado Sando and it was a turkey sandwich similar to what I would make for a picnic. Just boring. The matcha isn't particularly flavorful. The powder was definitely lower quality.
