Such a laid-back, chill coffee spot with a great California vibe!…read more I tried their Iced Latte, and it was incredibly smooth and well-balanced. The espresso blended beautifully with the milk, and you can really taste the quality of their house-roasted beans. Loved the relaxed atmosphere and the coffee. A great spot to enjoy Monterey's local coffee culture!

We came to Captain + Stoker because it had good reviews (more that a 4.0) so I thought it would be…read moregood, no - very disappointing. We got 2 seasonal item menus - snickerdude and leg warmer latte, both literally tasted the same. One was suppose to have a pumpkin flavor- no where to be found. They both looked and tasted the same. We got one of the pressed drinks and it was okay. I spent $30 on 2 coffees that tasted nasty and a pressed juice. Save your time and energy, go somewhere else.

Terra Superfoods is one of my favorite healthy spots in Monterey! It's so refreshing to have a…read moreplace that offers fresh, wholesome food with plenty of delicious vegan options. I only wish we had more restaurants like this in the Monterey and Marina area. Everything I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. My favorites are the acai bowls, smoothies, salads, wraps, and nourishing bowls. Their pineapple mint juice is especially refreshing and has become one of my go-to drinks. The menu makes it easy to enjoy nutritious food without sacrificing flavor. I highly recommend giving Terra Superfoods a try. It's a local gem that I'll definitely keep coming back to!

I've been here at least a dozen times because, to be fair, the smoothies are consistently…read moreexcellent. If I were reviewing the drinks alone, this place would be an easy five stars. Unfortunately, the customer service has been just as consistently underwhelming. Every visit feels like I've accidentally interrupted an important meeting by...walking in and ordering. The employees (usually younger staff at the counter) rarely greet you, and when they do, it's with the enthusiasm of someone being asked to clean the garage. Today's visit summed it up perfectly. I asked about a couple of the hot tonics, hoping for a recommendation. The response? "I've never had them." Fair enough--but maybe follow it up with, "Let me see if I can find out," or "People seem to like this one." Anything besides leaving the customer hanging. The smoothies are blended with care. The customer experience...not so much. Hopefully one day the service catches up to the quality of the smoothies, because the product deserves it.

Same great service as the Sacramento location, but this one has a few additional items that can only be found here. Once I saw Mole Negro I was sold- and rewarded. I sat outside with my dog and enjoyed my meal after a day at the beach. The flavor was absolutely delicious and the portion made two meals. Take advantage of the small parking lot out front if you see an opening, otherwise it's paid street parking. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near Monterey.

I can't really say much about the place because I just tried one drink which was the spicy lemon ginger drink I believe... it was a decent drink, the drinks are already made which I didn't really like, I thought it would be made in front of me. The one I had was supposed to help with inflammation, metabolism, your bones, energy, etc. I'm not sure if helped with that tbh. I ended up throwing half of it away. They do seem to have good açaí bowls there. Give them a try you if in the area! :)
