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 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!

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.

Soy to the World…read more Locally owned and operated vegan Mexican restaurant located not far from Cannery Row and the aquarium that has been in operation for nearly fifteen years. It features scratch-made, authentic Oaxacan and Mexico City-inspired dishes that are 100% plant-based. The Good: * Fast-casual: order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. * Friendly service. * Housemade corn tortillas were fantastic. * The horchata had good flavor but was very watery. * Carissa enjoyed her two tacos (potato and veggie) but said her potato taco was the superior one of the two. * The Mole Negro was delicious, and you could hardly tell the "chicken" wasn't chicken. Honestly, it is one of the more flavorful moles I've had, and I've had a lot. * The vegan flan was incredible. If held at gunpoint, I'm not sure I could tell the difference between this and a regular flan made with eggs; that is how good the texture was. If you're a fan of flan, then get this. The Meh: * Extremely small shared parking lot that is free if you're lucky enough to find a spot. Otherwise, you'll have to opt for paid street parking. * No complimentary chips and salsa. * No outdoor dining. The Ugly: * K-LOVE blasting on the speakers. Conclusion: Tasty vegan eats, even if you are a meathead like myself. Recommended.

4 stars because it is a cute atmosphere & is very well organized…read more Doesn't seem to have a lot people inside or outside. The drink I had was decent. 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! :)
