I've been coming to Daycamp for several years - consistently great vibes and great coffee. Unlike…read moreStoble (also great), there is easy parking at Daycamp and no giant homeless encampments across the street. I've always thought the customer service, speed, music, seating, and atmosphere in general were top-notch here. You don't get the feeling it's a college study hall like you do at Stoble.

Came in to grab a coffee on my way home from a hike. 2 people in line in front of me. Gal who took…read moremy order was friendly, repeated it back to me, and sent it off to the barista. I waited 18 minutes and several people came and went after me picking up their orders. I approached the counter and inquired about my order. The barista pointed to a large cup off to the side that was clearly not what I ordered. I politely said "that's not what I ordered" and continued to inform the barista of what my order had been. She just stood there and stared back at me clueless about what to do. The gal who initially took order came over and argued with me about what I ordered! I said "that's not what I ordered, you repeated it back to me when I ordered it...". Her response "well that's what I charged you for". I was dumbfounded, instead of just making me what I wanted they both argued with me and then admitted to charging me more for a beverage that I never wanted! I decided to turn and walk away. I don't need to waste my time arguing with teenagers who clearly have zero customer service training.

First time here. Stopped in for a quick sip. It was right down the block from where I needed to be…read moreso I took advantage of the location. Walked in to an empty cafe, that soon changed. I must have showed up at the right time. Ordered a cortado from the gentleman who made my coffee as well, and took a seat at the window bar. First sips. Pretty good. Nicely balanced espresso. Mild citrus and floral notes with rich chocolate and brown sugar that lingers on the palate. Medium bitterness, but nice. What a great little spot. BUT then... I finished my coffee and politely asked where I could put my dirty cup, as opposed to leave it where I sat. (Welp... don't expect Dutch Bros-in your face, friendly) I asked the girl behind the counter who was annoyed I bothered her. She pointed and said over there. Which was not very apparent. So I went over in that direction and seen an empty counter. I didn't want to just set it there, so I asked an older gentleman and he nodded and pointed. No words necessary I guess. There was a cart tucked in the corner with an empty bus tub. Nothing points or says please put your dirty stuff here. But I'm going to say that's where they go. Why my question was such a bother was unknown. You guys got good coffee. But your personalities are worse than Eeyore.

I really should have believed the reviews. There is a Starbucks literally 200 feet away but I like…read moretrying out smaller businesses so I thought I'd give this place a chance. Seriously disappointing. The staff was friendly enough but super concerned about their personal conversation and not me or the customer behind me. I decided on the Milky Way Mocha which is a standard mocha but with caramel. This honestly tasted like a bad cup of hot chocolate. It literally was straight sugar, I couldn't taste coffee/espresso at all. I ended up throwing half of it out. I also got a slice of lemon poppyseed bread that initially looked like it might've been made in house but after unwrapping it, it seemed more like it came in a loaf from Sam's Club or Costco and was sliced and wrapped in plastic wrap. All that for $9 was not what I would call a great start to my day.

I was smiling before ordering because of the picture in the bathroom! Very small amount of seats (probably 20 at most) and only 2 people working which was all they needed. The baristas were friendly and knowledgable! I needed a nap, so I did NOT go with a cold brew! They had big dispensers of 4 different kinds of coffee, and there decaf house blend was ok. They do have an option to get an iced coffee with frozen coffee cubes in it which is something I love! My small complaint is that back in the hall of the bathroom you could see an open closet with all the cleaning supplies in it. Not the most appetizing thing. They did have a bunch of options of food available, but also were not fresh and wrapped in plastic wrap. I did see a burrito made fresh which was huge and looked good, but not a fan of just a random open closet. Overall if you want a quiet place with friendly staff and a wide array of choices to taste some stuff this is a great place to go. Nothing significant to separate it and get 5 stars, a couple of small things, but for a local coffee shop def worth a visit!! Well done Cal Java!!

Came in here with my daughter to get the whole family some coffee. The staff was really friendly…read moreand patient with us since I was ordering for a few people. They have a great and complete menu for coffee and foods. I would like to come back and try some of their premium beans next time I come by. Ordered a dirty chai, a mocha, a cortado, and a kids hot chocolate and they got to making them right away. It is nice to see the care put into each drink and the patience is making sure everything is correct. Everyone was quite happy with their drinks, especially my daughter with the whipped cream on her straw for her hot cocoa. The food was all nice and fresh as well, everyone was quite happy with what we got. I'm glad my wife pointed this place out from her high school days and that it is right around the corner from my in-laws. Definitely will be coming back here every time we visit.

My husband wanted to try Outer Heaven Espresso since we were in the area. When we walked in, it was…read morevery small and quaint. The person who finally came to take our order wasn't very nice. We both did not feel very welcome in this business, and the people behind the register seemed very standoffish. We asked if they could make a version of a tuxedo (or black and white). I have never been to a coffee shop that has never heard of a black and white or tuxedo drink. We've been to big chains and mom and pops, and they all knew some version of it. The person making the drinks grudgingly said he could make it but the employee taking the order acted like we were insane. Two medium coffees for $17 is crazy! I thought the drink tasted alright, but my husband said it was way too strong. With that vibe and those prices, we're not going back.

The ambience is exactly what I look for in a coffee shop. Confident and experienced baristas who know exactly what they're doing. They were able to help make suggestions and fill me in on the seasonal food items. The brick wall, large windows, and endless seating options really made the area feel open. The food and drinks came out very fast. The coffee was delicious, pastries were good. After finishing up our early morning coffee and snack we headed over to the Photo Booth located in the main seating area and took some memorable pictures. Bathrooms are very clean! Staff gave us a code, no issues or delay. Overall we had a very nice time. Thanks for starting out our trip right!
