The employees are also nice. I like how they have a big patio and is a neighborly vibes.

i like cats and i also like clouds but the real question is do i like cat and cloud? MEOW MEOW…read more i think they are solid if you actually like coffee. their roasts run light. you will not taste bitter dark roast italian-style BAM BAM on your tastebuds that make you physically recoil and shout OI MARIO MAMMA MIA!! i wouldn't order anything above a 6 oz size for that reason. it is a super cute shop, basically in a garage situation. located near capitola hashtag malibu barbie. bathroom is relatively clean. music is at the decibel of hippie (aka too loud for uppity people) but good taste - i walked in to a kali uchis song! hail the queen! also equipment is goated (mahkonig and decent). service is nice. free drip coffee samples! i love samples (i go to costco)! i tried the house blend which was okay. then i tried the honduras lot which was better; could taste the nuttiness and rhubarb. i ended up picking up a funkier one (rwanda red bourbon natural) since i am currently sick of washed beans. anyway cool selection!! i also tried the chai which was a disgrace to south asian culture. it was gentrified TWICE omg. too sweet AND had a white color. real chai is brown. anyway. the flat white was alright - a bit too big and a touch overfoamed. next time i will stick to the single origin drip or maybe an espresso. lets give cloudy meow meow a 4

please, please I absolutely love this place. There is always a line. Please don't go here.... LoL!…read more I wanna be able to come in and get a coffee quick and relax. This place has great food and people are attentive to detail. The coffee has a really unique taste. It doesn't taste so dark and so like cooked like other places do it's it's got a really nice smooth flavor. I hope everybody will try it. Also the names of your coffee the food the atmosphere. It makes it really fun. I know that it's a small shop it probably only seats maybe 25 people inside and outside but what a great experience. I've been there four times now in the last two weeks and I've brought a lot of my friends. I continue to look forward to coming. Thank you so much for your attention to detail. Please keep up the good work. The only change I would make is to ad hair nets to those preparing the food but a lot of places don't have this so that's just me. when you are there, be sure to say hi to someone in line to find out how long they've been going to the coffee shop what they think what the best things are and post it because I would love to know which of the many coffee flavors and food items are the best tasting thanks

Cool spot that I had been wanting to try for awhile since they were in Downtown. But their employee…read more+ customer service was not great. We walked in as a family (me, husband, our baby) and while we were deciding what to order husband asked for the restroom code. The tall male employee looked us up and down and said so, you gonna buy some coffee? Husband said yes...why? The employee said "I just need to know if you're planning on buying something or just here to use the restroom . " Why would we come up to the counter , peruse the menu and bring the baby inside if that was our only goal? It was so off-putting. Anyhoo, the interior was nice all black and some sort of rock/ metal playing. There's magnetic tiles to Create your own conspiracy or statement and other conspiracy type decor . I got a 5G is killing our bees which was nice and smooth flavored espresso drink and husband tried the NZT 49 which he liked. but only thing is we regretted not trying a black cold brew or shot of espresso to really taste their coffee. Maybe next time. And hopefully next time that particular employee will chill out a little bit on their restroom. Might I add, this was my 2nd attempt to go to this location. The first time they were randomly closed at 1230pm. Wish they would at least post a heads-up online or something.

I've been trying to visit this particular coffee shop for quite some time now! Every time I swing…read moreby they were always closed or I just missed them! Lol I would always wing it and never take a picture of their store hours either! So I'm sure it was operator error! I am so happy for this particular brick and mortar because the first time I met the owner was on a bicycle on West Kliff or maybe East not to show I used to walk a whole thing during the pandemic! He was a really cool gentleman selling coffee on a nice looking bike and everything was clean, cut! Their menu items have changed and I'm glad he got more coffee companies to collab with! I loved my Stimulation Theory- it was smooth and had great frothy flavor with the perfect accent of cardamom! Everything within the Cafe is black and there a lot of joint seating areas. Granted when I got there, the individual spots were already taken. I sat an area meant for a larger group. I also enjoy the death metal music, grated it was played at the normal coffee shop volume level. Hee. So I've never actually HEARD that style of music at such a low decimal level, so it actually was quite comedic to me. At the same time, I'm glad it wasn't super loud like other rock shows I've been to! But still very much a vibe!! I can't wait to go back and try other drinks and pour overs that they have!! I can't wait until they get pastries or some sort of pop-up since I love my carbs! Hee

I've had multiple iced lattes and iced matchas here, and they've all had so much flavor even without any added sweetener! I love the hours here, and they were even open and had plenty of seating on Labor Day. It does get pretty busy during mid mornings on the weekends, but there's always plenty of seating. The only downside to this location is parking. Since this location is so close to downtown, the only parking available is paid street parking, which bumps up to around $5/hour if you stay past two hours.

(i…read moredon't particularly like shops that give iced drinks in hot drink cups, but that's just personal preference!) will try a hot drink next time to really get a taste for the espresso the breakfast burrito had a lot of egg, almost a bit too much for my liking, but had lots of cheese which was nice. the yogurt bowl was delicious and beautiful. interior was very beautiful and there was lots of space to sit.

We went to the counter, and I believe it was the owner who waited on us. He was a one-man show, taking our orders and making the drinks as well, but we didn't wait too long for our order. My friend and I had lattes, and they were good. There are also some nice looking treats in the case there, but we had just had lunch so we didn't try those. Definitely would come back for the view!

We arrived early for a medical appointment in the area and decided to get some coffee here. I was…read morecaught off guard by 1) how tiny the inside is, and 2) there was a rack of fresh bagels!!! I honestly had no idea this place was here... and with bagels! I don't get bagels locally because, well, just because. I happily ordered us coffee and bagels. Now, bear in mind, we roast our own coffee, so to us, the coffee was on the "good" side of Ok. The bagels, on the other hand, were delicious! And boy, do they pack on the cream cheese (maybe enough for 3 bagels depending on one's preference)! Service was friendly and fast. And all the people coming and going were very pleasant - there were plenty of them. The sitting area outside next to the road is pretty small (next to a dumpster, I think), and my guy was having some mobility challenges (on crutches, etc.). Folks in the neighboring table were so kind and accommodating, voluntarily standing up so that he could maneuver into a seat. We went back the following week (yes, another medical appt), and this time they were out of the bagels we wanted, so note to self... get there early if you want a favorite bagel. We will definitely be back to Firefly for the bagels! Have I said "bagels" enough times already?

Coffee, Ocean Views & a Mini-Retreat for the Soul…read more I've been to A LOT of places for coffee, and I'll just say it: I'm a coffee snob. So when I say the coffee here is awesome, I mean it! What makes this place special isn't just the coffee--it's the entire experience. Operated by the Catholic Church, this peaceful coffee establishment has a beautiful prayer garden where you can stroll, reflect, and maybe even get your thoughts straight before your second cup. My bride and I spent FOUR HOURS here reading, journaling, talking, and enjoying the serenity. And yes, we were still happily married when we left! The view of the Pacific Ocean is spectacular. You can walk across the street, sit on a bench, and simply listen to the waves. There's also a spacious patio, clean restrooms, friendly and polite staff, and an atmosphere that seems to say, "Slow down...you're allowed to breathe." This isn't just a place to grab a cup of coffee. It's a place to grab a cup of coffee, grab your thoughts, grab your bride, and grab a little peace for your soul. As a Yelp Elite reviewer--and someone who takes coffee VERY seriously--this place gets my enthusiastic recommendation. Great coffee. Great people. Great atmosphere. Incredible view. And a prayer garden thrown in for good measure. Sometimes you don't need a vacation. You just need four hours, two cups of coffee, the Pacific Ocean, and someone you love sitting across the table. #YelpElite #CoffeeSnob #CoffeeLovers #PacificOcean #CoffeeAndViews #PrayerGarden #MiniRetreat #DateDay #GreatCoffee #HiddenGem #CoffeeWithAView #SoulRefreshment
