Came here twice during our stay in San Simeon. Great food, coffee, and pastries. Service is kind and courteous. This will be a must stop when we come back to the area.

Excellent breakfast and coffee. Indoor seating is limited, so arrive early or be prepared to sit outside. A nice trim menu with excellent egg featured breakfasts. Mellow music in the morning is a plus! Too many places blast pop music from opening to closing. Breakfast is fast and piping hot, and the coffee cake is a nice addition to good coffee. The staff is patient and pleasant.

Stopped here to enjoy some coffee on a Sunday morning. I failed to get his name but the barista who took my order was amazing. I asked for recommendations and customizations and he was happy to do it. My husband got the brown sugar latte with oatmilk & I got the maple vanilla latte with almond milk. They were both delicious! I am a coffee enthusiast & am picky when it comes to my coffee but this place was awesome. Friendly staff, cute set up. Great place to hang out! We also brought our dog to hang with us on the patio! We will definitely stop by next time we are in Cambria.

Cute cafe right next to the Garden Shed. Parking by the right of the Garden Shed. No public restrooms at the establishment at the moment. Cafe looked small from the outside, but turns out they have an outdoor seating area as well. I enjoyed my drink and brunch outside on the patio. Couple cute birds few by above my head a few times during my time there. I ordered a Caprese Avo Toast and a Lavender Special (earl gray with milk and a hint of lavender) Caprese Avo Toast- Totally IG worthy. Toast is topped with mashed avocado, grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese and a drizzle of sweet balsamic dressing. Tastes good but it's lacking a little bit of something. Perhaps salt? It's just not savory enough. Good but not wow. Lavender Milk Tea- Now this is heavenly, I could sit by the window and sip this all day. It's milky with a hint of lavender.

Cute and charming cafe tucked away in a beautiful garden. Oat milk cappuccino was phenomenal! Baked goods were scrumptious. Service was top-notch. I'll definitely be back :)

Lovely and inviting, this coffeehouse boasts both newcomers and regulars who enjoy the hot coffee and tea options along with breakfast bites. We were greeted by a hearty Good morning! by the staff and a table of older gentlemen regulars. I felt welcomed and knew this was a place where people are happy to hang out. We ordered a Mediterranean open-faced bagel, a drip coffee, a hot chocolate with whip cream and a chai latte. Sitting outdoors in the covered patio was so peaceful, with soft easy listening music, birds chirping, the aroma from jasmine vines and lavender flowers gently wafting in the breeze. If you're ever in Cambria, make sure to stop by to be refreshed.

I love this coffee shop! They make the best coffee and offer great customer service. On my recent visit I split the Mediterranean bagel with my friend and it was delicious and more than enough to satisfy the morning craving. I sat and journaled with my coffee in hand on their cozy patio. I'll definitely be coming back!

Cute, quaint coffee/breakfast shop in Cambria. My friend and I split the breakfast sandwich and Mediterranean bagel. The breakfast sandwich had a jalapeño cheddar bread and we added bacon. It was rich, greasy and the perfect hot sandwich for a rainy day. The bagel was fresh, light and a wonderful balance to the heavy sandwich we shared. Some of their coffee options were no longer available, which is the ding on one of the stars. We arrived on a Saturday morning around 930am and a lot of what they had listed was not available. I opted for the large coffee, but you also had to pay for refills.
