I went here several times during our stay in Cambria. This place has the BEST coffee in town. it was always super busy but the baristas were very friendly and efficient. This place is truly 10/10. Don't miss it if you love excellent coffee and friendly service. read more

BEST coffee in town hands down! Best service as well! It's our favorite place to go when visiting Cambria. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

When I come for my yearly visit this is my favorite coffee spot to visit. They have pretty good iced coffee and blended drinks. I enjoy the outside patio they offer. The one downfall is that it's very tiny and can get packed in the small space quickly and the tables can go fast on a beautiful day. Everyone is usually very friendly and welcoming so they might share the tables with you. There are a few small spots for coffee in town but to me, this place has the best coffee. read more

I've been here a few times, coffee is pretty much good not amazing but good though customer service is horrible. This rating would be a 2.5 to be honest. I came in a few days ago the barista was rudely explaining certain coffee types to an elder woman. When my partner and I were next there was not acknowledgment that we were there (we were the only ones standing there). When I asked a question, the barista didn't even look my way at all just simple "NOPE". I love giving this place service but I just walked right out might return again (especially if the Irish cream will be back) hopefully it's just a coincidence where the baristas are having a rough day. read more

Rude employees. Trash coffee. When placing my order of a simple cappuccino her response was "I believe you!". What a strange response from someone and certainly not the kind of vibe I'm looking for in a local coffee shop. Won't be returning and I'm sure she is thrilled to do less work. Coffee was not great either. I order a cappuccino and my husband a latte. Both tasted like sugar bombs and not coffee. Coffee was also scalding hot. What a weird place. read more

Great little hole in the wall to grab a really good cup of coffee. My wife and I grabbed two lattes to enjoy on the beach less than a mile away. Small little place with good service and good people. read more

Cambria Coffee - Latte on the beach - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cambria, California

I was passing through this town and needed coffee. I saw the first one and by. You go to one side and it's a small room where you order. They had my favorite hazelnut so I ordered a hazelnut latte and my son got a juice it was $8 reasonable. You wait for your order to be called on the side they had a room where you can sit or some chairs at the front. My coffee had very light ice. It was okay but I would have wanted it to be very cold with a good amount of ice. There was nothing wrong with my coffee but it was just okay. read more

This remains my go to coffee shop in Cambria. Warning: the line can go out the door! Don't come here if you're in a hurry. I love an americano with two pumps of vanilla. Service is incredibly friendly. read more

Lots of street parking but seems to get busy later in the day so might have to look for parking nearby. We saw their blended coffee drinks and decided to give them a try. We ordered: - blended Dominican mocha: strong coffee flavor with chocolatey taste. The drink was a great thick consistency and melted nicely as you drink. Not overly sweet, which I prefer. Comes with whipped cream but we didn't want it. The only downside was the paper straws, they became soggy after a few stirs of the thick blended drink. Would've preferred if they were bamboo as they're environmentally friendly but sturdier. We chose to drink from the lid instead. Overall, the coffee shop is a good stop for caffeine. They have a selection of pastries as well. They seem small but they have seating next door after you order. The staff are nice and the drinks were prepared quickly. read more

My wife and I have been visiting this coffee shop for over thirty years. We've seen ownership changes over the years and sometimes quality was a huge improvement, sometimes not so much. Our favorite has been the Blended Dominican, but recently this drink is not the same. We've tried multiple different visits and it seems the recipe has changed and thus marks the end of our patronage. Consistency is so important, especially for a coffee shop. read more

I stopped here for some coffee - an Americano. They give a really nice roast to their beans and it makes for a bold yet smooth flavor. I quite enjoyed it. There is no seating inside where you order but there is an adjacent room, through another door, with plenty of seating. Instead, we sat outside in a couple of the chairs that are positioned along the sidewalk and people watched while sipping. No restroom at this place but public restrooms are located a block away. read more

Cute little local coffee shop with outdoor seating and some nice latte flavors in a great location. My latte was yummy, staff friendly, and prices very reasonable. I needed an afternoon pick-me-up while walking around the main core of Cambria - I saw the giant "coffee" sign so popped in spontaneously and I'm glad I did! After a tough decision between coffee and tea flavors and with the help of staff, I decided to try their Baja Mocha and it was lovely. It's a chocolatey concoction infused with warm spices and a nice cinnamon profile. Not too sweet as well which I love. They have quite a few sizes and I went with small which is one shot of espresso- it was perfect and just what I needed. It's a small shop inside but they have a nice patio on the main drag with lots of cozy outside seating - great for people watching! Cambria is very walkable and you'll find them right in the heart of it. There's lots of street parking around and ample spots outside of the busy times - but if it's tourist season you'll be fighting for parking lol. read more

THE BEST coffee spot in Cambria, hands down. Chai was probably the most delicious thing I have ever drank. Flat whites were proper. Staff were sometimes friendly, but clearly burned out. It was a busy weekend so I get it. We love coming here, it's always clean and they have great indoor and outdoor seating. read more

We wwre on our way to Hearst Castle. Very friendly small town of Cambria and this small warmth coffee shop. If you don't see a coffee you want, ask them and they will do it. The staff were amazing! Welcoming everyone. Stopped here for some coffee break and to use the public restroom at the end of the road. Restroom itself was clean enough to use with papers and sheets. read more

THE OWNERS HAD BETTER ADDRESS THIS ISSUE A S A P!!! When I come in again and see this employee with his wavy, long dark hair constantly playing with it while touching the rims of the containers of coffee and opening the bags to put pastries in that customers are going to eat/drink from, I am in fact going to file a report to the S L O COUNTY HEALTH DISTRICT!!! This is no different from finding a hair in your food/drink! If he is so obsessed with playing with his hair, food and the equipment handling is not the environment for he to be employed! You had to see it folks, everything he did while attending to customers was in between going to his hair with his hand! The thing about it is, he is congenial and got the job done...just zero comprehension of food handling sanitation and Cambria Coffee's customer base safety. This had better not happen again! For ownership's information...MARCH 31, 2026 @approx 11:10 am...stringently train him, not looking to find him terminated, though should this continue even once, S L O C H D will be notified! read more

They have the best coffee. Our hotel coffee was horrible so I went to Cambria Coffee everyday. Servers were so nice and service was great! Thanks to all of them. read more

Coffee was amazing & service was so nice and friendly! We went back everyday, we decided to try a new place on the last day... BIG MISTAKE! We should've sticked to this place, the coffee and staff were amazing; worth the wait! read more

Make sure you get your coffee here! Every time I visit I walk into town to get my coffee. It's great coffee and a very pleasant and friendly staff. I made the mistake of getting my latte next to my hotel yesterday (Madelines) not so friendly barista and not a great latte. read more

Worst service imaginable. The girl at the counter was too interested in having a long conversation with a man long after he had been served to even notice the line of customers waiting to order. Oblivious and rude. Go to Lily's, prompt and courteous service read more

As another reviewer shared. Coffee was much better than expected. Cortado was done perfectly. Only plus would have been to have real mugs

Really enjoyed the ice vanilla matcha latte, it tasted really nice had equal balance of milk and matcha. I went for the second and ordered the same thing but did enjoy it as much because it was very grainy. I would have given this place a 5 but gave it a 4 for inconsistency. Staff is friendly. Minimal wait time. Close to the other stores. Good set of variety for drinks and pastries. Has great indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Came early. I don't drink coffee so I took awhile. Steady stream of people getting drinks which is a great sign. Haven't had Dubai chocolate yet so I decided to try their special. Blended. Yum. Wonderful. Tasty. Just what I needed. Recommend read more

This is a very small coffee place. Only one barista at the counter, so the line was long. We ordered some stuff to drink and eat. They were all ordinary at best. We didn't finish any of the various stuff we ordered, threw it in the trash. Noticed that others had done the same before us. Oh well. read more

As a person who loves a good coffee shop, I think it's only worth of visit if you're already in the area, I definitely wouldn't go out of my way for it. Their coffee was fine and the barista who made it was nice, but the barista who took our order rolled their eyes at us multiple times and kept trying to rush us (there was no one else in the shop at all) and gave us really short answers when we just wanted to know what we were getting, then as soon as they were done taking out order they went straight to the back and ignored us the the of our visit. Especially weird since had been looking at the coffee cups in the front (couldn't have purchased if we wanted to with the cashier gone). The pastries were good, the peanut butter cookie especially, but the lemon square was not worth the $6 it cost. This place is pretty small on the inside where you order but I think there is a bar seating room right across from it, as well as a few outside tables. Again it is fine, not a first pick if you can go somewhere else. read more

Great coffee, got the mocha and latte, both were excellent! really cute little shop, with both indoor and outdoor seating

So, we're heading back down to Southern California, but before getting back on that long highway, I was in desperate need of a serious java jolt. We had decided to check out Cambria Coffee. What a nice, quaint place. How funny that it was right next to the Cambria Chamber of Commerce! So, I ordered my drink of choice, an Americano, adding some Mocha Java coffee and maple spice syrup to the mix, and--yummy! It was so good that I went ahead and bought me some beans. If I was living here in Cambria, I'd probably be there every day, what a find. And really nice people work here too! If you're visiting in town and you need a java fix, absolutley check out Cambria Coffee! read more

I typically have to 'franken-latte' my own iced coffee drinks to make it taste right! The lady at the front saw my hydra flask in my hand as I ordered 2 large espressos with cold foam & vanilla syrup and asked if she could rinse my flask and put my beverage directly into it! What?! Wow! Sure! She took a long time servicing us as we prepared to hit the road, not making us feel rushed or like we were annoying her with our many add ons as we soaked in all the baked good offerings! The line was backing up as we walked out and she was happily greeting others and the guy in back was already pouring their orders! Super efficient and they worked so smart together! Tastiest ice espresso with cold foam in all of the land! Starbucks could never! read more

Was in Cambria for a short 2 day anniversary trip. We stopped into Cambria Coffee unsure of what to expect, but we were very pleasantly surprised. The coffee was delicious, best drink I've had anywhere. Better than Starbucks for sure. The first day we shared a cinnamon roll with nuts and the second day we each got an olallieberry muffin. The staff are extremely friendly. And this is a small, quaint little coffee stop that is bustling with people and clearly has a lot of regulars. I wish I lived closer!!! read more

Excellent little spot for a good cup of coffee. Great breakfast snacks as well. Friendly people make it a great spot.

Slightly a coffee snob, not ashamed. I ordered an iced white mocha with pumpkin syrup. It was probably the best coffee I've ever had. The perfect mix of flavors and the coffee was perfection. If I wasn't pregnant and didn't have a caffeine max per day, I'd order another one. 10/10 recommend. I will be back every morning on our next trip to beautiful Cambria. read more

Great coffee shop and delicious bakery items. I'm from out of town so I'm not used to such friendly great people and how if you ask for anything different they're happy to do it. Great coffee for sure- here 5 days, there 3 times! read more

You never know what to expect at small town coffee shops and I have tough standards, or so I'm told :) Cambria was excellent! We stopped here after a camping trip in Big Sur and it was a quick turn off the highway. We found parking immediately and were so grateful Cambria was open at 3pm. I got an iced latte and the espresso was perfectly brewed. Not too bitter but still had great flavor. Cambria isn't somewhere you sit down inside and hang out, but there's tables outside and the town is welcoming enough that I'm sure you could find a nice spot to enjoy your drink. While I waited I looked around their gift shop that was full of local artists items. I'm bookmarking this for the next time I'm driving along that stretch of highway, it's a perfect little town to stop for lunch and delicious coffee! read more

We stopped by today before we headed home to Paso Robles. The Horchata Latte was the best one I have tasted. Hubby throughly enjoyed his Americano too. We got a vegan chocolate brownie and a peanut butter cookie to go. Both were so delicious. Will definitely be back next time we are in Cambria. read more
