My fave Seal Beach coffee shop! Always get the Hawaiian Mocha and Streusel Muffin! They have a mini bean roaster that creates an amazing aroma. Also great gelato for those hot summer days! A cool local spot to grab a coffee and then walk on the pier.
They have really good coffee and roast their own coffee beans early in the mornings. If your new to the area, or visiting, this place will not be disappointed.
Huge disappointment! Went there a couple of days ago, and here are my thoughts:1. Coffee: Beans were over-roasted. Too dark. Could taste more the burnt than the actual coffee.2. Chocolate Croissant: was old, possibly more than a day old. There was no crunchiness at all. In fact it was dry, brittle and hard.3. Avocado Toast: Just a plain piece of bread with a thin layer of avocado spread on top. It was dry and tasted terrible!My entire order went to the trash right after the first try, then we went to the cafe just down the street and were able to get great service with more than decent coffee+pastries+fresh fruit.Don't waste your time and just walk down a block and save your frustration!
I came into the coffee shop (located at 148 Main St, Seal Beach, CA 90740) around 10:30am on Saturday June 4th and ordered a decaf ice coffee with almond milk and one pump of sugar free vanilla.The girl at the register informed me that they didn't have ice decaf. I asked if she could just pour the hot over ice and she said yes as long as I was ok with it being a little watery I said not a problem.I over heard the guy making my coffee tell her (but never bothered to say anything to me) that he couldn't make decaf ice coffee even though the girl/cashier told him i was ok with just pouring it over ice. He then made my coffee with regular coffee not decaf and preceded to add FIVE pumps of SF Vanilla and didn't add almond milk.When he gave me my coffee I nicely asked him how many pumps he used and he said 5, I told him I asked for 1 he said "well I've already put it in there and I can't remake it" so I asked for my money back.At the register the girl once again was very nice and I asked for the manager who happened to be standing right there, I explained the situation (even though he saw and heard me the whole thing) has I was explaining the guy who made my coffee begins to talk over me raising his voice at me (with a coffee shop full of customers) the manager lets him continue to talk to me that way and never asked him to stop or apologize for my experience.I told him if the drink couldn't be made he could of just said something to me and I would of ordered somwthing else, not make my drink completely wrong.Decaf or not I asked for 1 pump NOT 5, I asked for almond milk (he didn't put any milk) and I asked for DECAF not regular.I asked to have my drink made that way because I am clearly pregnant, had I not noticed and drank that coffee not only could me/my baby have been in danger but your shop could of been in a lot of trouble.Some people order drinks, food, etc a certain way for a reason and it's not up to you to make it how you want it.
Decent coffee, been here a few times as it is close by Seal Beach and Pier. Nice seating inside. Have yet to try the food but they serve pastries and sandwiches.
Ordered a double espresso then asked for a little hot water added (instead of half&half) and was told that they CHARGE FOR EVEN A LITTLE HOT WATER!? Are you kidding me! I asked for the manager. The owner was right there and just walked out of the place. A greedy, heartless, strange experience. I left my coffee there completley uninterested in drinking it. There were 6 other staff people working there with no other patrons all looking like helpless slaves scared to go against some kind of ridiculous greedy policy. Who knows. Bizarre, pathetic treatment. A coffee at the right time is an uplifting joy. It was stolen from me at this place.
Great coffee here, well as fresh muffins, and the staff have always been quite nice.
Great coffee and great service near the beach.
My every morning go too
You know what I love of this place? EVERYTHING. I love the drinks, the amazing staff, the cozy feel (precovid), the prices, the baked goods, and even the restroom is always clean. Get your caffeine fix and walk it down to the pier like I do. Javantinis one of my favorite coffee shops that I go out of my way for. Everytime I'm in Seal I pick stop by here and it makes my day.
