Great tasting soft serve ice cream!

Charming & cozy coffee/gift shop with vintage flare. Glad to see they carry vinyl here. Their selection consisted of mainly classic rock from the 70's. Check out the small home-room theatre located at the rear next to the bathroom.

Coffee was superb, soft serve ice cream with lollyberry topping was a welcomed surprise. Highly recommend stopping here 😎

My favorite coffee and vintage everything on the San Mateo coast. Great service and atmosphere. A must stop for the Moto afficinado.

Fabulous little place in my small town. They are the focus of the community and unlike some other businesses in town they open reliably every day so it’s never a gamble. Plus the coffee is great and the pastries and croissants buttery and fresh

It's a beautiful busy small town, perfect stop for lunch, fuel fill up, and the local Beach down the hill is a must.

Cute local produce shop with coffee spot

Adorable Cafe, quirky but cute. Seems to be like by both locals and visitors. Love the affogato.

Cool vintage spot. Very friendly, kind, natural vibe. Organic and imported specialties.

Perfect coffee, great old motorcycles and a hidden movie theatre. A must stop and see.

So interesting... all the memorabilia! So well curated. A comfortable place to have some great coffee.

Feels like home, with great staff and coffee to boot

A Coffeeneuring stop on my way back after gravel biking the Butano Fire Road. Had my usual dirty chai tea latte, which had a bit of spice(?) that gave it a whole new flavor. The banana walnut bread that I had with it was killer! The coffee shop itself is a place that you could spend a half an hour just looking through, because of the decorations. The only negative was that the seating is a bit limited and I ended up sitting on the edge of their front step - S’OK. But for the fact that it’s 50 miles away in Pescadero, I’d be back every day.

Love the cappuccino from Downtown local. Must check out this place if you’re in Pescadero. Their retro collections bring back so much memories. Love their sofa with the cut-off jeans covered around the sofa arms. Everything is put into heart. We had a wonderful visit. Thanks! :-)

Absolutely lovely little coffee shop in Pescadero! It also has a nice mix of vintage items and handcrafted items for sale. I just loved this little cafe.

Lots of interesting antiques and hard to find knick knacks in a cute little coffee shop. If you stop by be sure to check out the back room where they play sports on projector. Awesome find in a tiny town. Definitely a distinct vibe and worth visiting if you find yourself near Pescadero. There's also a cool Beatles Porsche parked out front. Coffee is great too!

A cute coffee shop close to the beach. I enjoyed my cappuccino and banana bread—a great place to sit for sometime and have good conversations.

Wonderful coffee shop! The serve really good coffee accompanied by tasty treats including croissants other goodies... Usually the spot for bikers and visitors from other areas of the Bay. Honestly a Gem in Pescadero!

I think this is the local coffee joint with cool fancy decoration and antiques. Coffee was great and they have outdoor seatings.

An eclectic coffee shop with a nod to the days of yore. Great coffee is served by very friendly staff while terrific music plays on vinyl LPs.

Stellar atmosphere and delicious coffee. What a charming place!

Lovely place. Great coffee and lovely muffin. Highly recommend it.

Great coffee and a nice little shop for small boutique gifts. Great place to pick something up to remember how awesome the area is in pescadero.

6 stars out of 5. Off the beaten path. Hardwood floors from Back in the Day. Groovy tunes. And a funky, Janis Joplin-esque 911 SC parked in front. What's not to love. Oh yeah - and, of course, motorcycles - gas tanks, bodies, helmets. All of it's inside. You must visit, sip, chat, and chill.

I was driving around Pescadero one day and stumbled upon this gem of a place. It’s an hour drive from my place but I still come here sometimes to get coffee, it’s that good. They never get my name right but the coffee is worth it :)

Great place to get a really nice coffee! They even offer oat milk which happens to be my favorite nut milk. Companion pastries are sold as well.

I found the coffee to be just ok, the pastries (lemon cake and chocolate chip cookie) were delicious - certainly worth the detour if you're in the area!

Great retro atmosphere, good coffee. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, or hunting for antiques from your childhood.

Rustic indoors and brilliant coffee right next to pescadero Beach. Amazing quality and their soft serve ice cream with espresso is a must try for coffee lovers!

Great coffee shop with a very unique retro vibe with lots of eclectic memorabilia and oddities for sale.

Where can you find a coffee shop that has vinyl records playing and a block-lettered green font monitor running a program in the background? This is the place! The neighboring table were comparing what models of motorbikes they have ever owned and enjoyed. Cyclists from Palo Alto were queued for their post-ride refuel. It was a scene from Silicon Valley small town weekend getaway. We were there to grab a snack after braving a long walk in the fog at San Gregorio beach park. What a hip happening cafe!

Its more about the experience I felt. The only coffee shop in a tiny seaside community. I only had espresso, not my cup of tea. But overall very cute coffee shop.

Very good coffee, very unfriendly service. They really are about being nice only to locals. Cool cafe/store, worth a stop even with the negative staff attitude.

Very quirky place. You should visit just to see how it is decorated. Espresso was ok, a bit bitter. Staff is super friendly.

Great setting, great coffee, people serving need to be more personable. Basically felt like they didn't want to engage when we were ordering and only offered minimal answers to our questions. When we left I took our cups back to the counter and said 'thanks, bye!" to get absolutely zero response from the servers, it was the same for my colleague, just a blank brief look. Need to get some people serving who like interacting with customers! If it wasn't for the indifferent service I would have given a 5.

The music and store layout were awesome! Super fun vibes. But the woman who helped me was extremely unfriendly. I, like other reviewers, wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Then I read other reviews, and it seems like this is a thing with her. She gave absolute bare-minimum answers to my questions and made me feel dumb for asking them. When I asked if there was wifi, she said, "yep". I said "Great! What's the password?". "There isn't one. But it's a 1 hour limit so...", said in a way so as to say, "so make it quick then get out". There weren't any napkins, cream, or milk out, so I had to ask for all those things, and again, her responses felt super curt and kind of hostile. It was totally on and off with other customers though; some she was friendly to, and some she definitely was not. I like what another reviewer said; it's okay if you're not a warm and bubbly person, but if you're in the food-service industry (and I have been), you have to fake it a bit. Otherwise customers don't feel welcome. And I definitely didn't feel welcome. Also, a small drip coffee was 4.50 - a bit steep. I wouldn't recommend this to friends and family; it's just not worth it.

Fantastic shop and layout; service and coffee not so good. Its a great shop of local goods, old antique items, ode to the Beatles, super awesome small theatre showing old films in the back. However the woman helping us was as warm as a brick wall and somewhat demeaning about kids. The cap I got was meh and my kids were split on the hot chocolate (one liked, one not).

The ONLY coffee place in town. The place we used to go to, burned down next door. The owner is a grouchy old dude with extremely poor customer service skills is pro motorcycles so you inhale the fumes as the bikes all back in, to park. Severely overpriced coffee with very poor service & bad attitude. The employee flipped off another customer in front of me in line, when they turned their back, because they didn't leave a tip. the high reviews probably are from the locals. Hoping they rebuild what used to be next door soon & will search for other coffee or food places surrounding Pescadero. It's worth the drive. The locals seem to have an attitude, that visitors owe them lots of money & tips.

Tried to ask for oat milk in my latte and got a brief sales pitch for raw milk instead. I politely declined but the barista kept pushing raw milk and suggested it would be better for me since I’m lactose intolerant. Incredibly unsafe for her to spread misinformation (all cow milk has lactose unless it’s Lactaid) and borderline violated CAs laws about the sale of raw milk needing to come with a disclaimer about microorganisms and bacteria living in the milk. She also messed up my drink order while she was busy selling me on raw milk. I’d recommend waiting for another coffee shop and only going here if it’s a last resort. I saw raw milk on the menu and didn’t say anything about it despite thinking it shouldn’t be sold, so I didn’t appreciate being pressured about it after politely declining twice.

Baristas working today with green beanie is so snobby, unwelcoming, and rude! Dealing with grief today and stopped to get some coffee to cheer myself up, atmosphere is great cute little shop but the worker was so rude to me it really ruined my day. You never know what someone is going through and you should really try to be kinder to your customers. Will not be returning ever again. Horrible service also my coffee tastes burnt anyways
