Great place to walk up and get a coffee and acai bowl. Parking is very limited. Recommend walk up. Service was good and order served quickly. Lots of outside seating that gets busy pretty quick on the weekend. Would recommend.

Adorable coffee shop in beautiful bird rock. They have limited seating inside but a ton of outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is perfect for a beautiful sunny day. You can also shortly walk the coastline if you want to take your drink to go. They also do offer food, although I didn't get a chance to order anything to eat. I just grabbed a traditional drip coffee, which was prepared quickly, and it only cost 2.45! That's a great price these days for coffee. And it was a good cup of coffee to add. The staff was very nice and friendly. This place is a hidden gem overall! I would much rather go to this local surf vibe coffee shop, than than the franchise Starbucks that's two blocks down. Also, I didn't know until after the fact, but they have a parking lot on the side too, which is great compared to other places that only offer street parking. I will definitely be back again.
