We left with a bitter taste in our mouth because the lady with curly gray hair rudely asked us to…read morewait outside even though my husband was looking at their products which he was considering purchasing. He put it back because she told us to wait outside. If you want customers to wait outside, maybe you should put your products elsewhere? Only a few minutes later, another customer waited exactly where we were standing and they didn't say anything to her. The barista taking our order was friendly and welcoming. The pourover was good. It was a true light roast from Costa Rica with fruity bright notes. The espresso was a typical medium-dark roast, nothing to write home about. The milk texture was overly frothy with big bubbles. If you are looking for a third-wave experience or more specialty forward coffee, you're better off looking elsewhere (like Counterpoint).

I have been sampling my way through their menu since finding them a few weeks ago, and so far you can't go wrong. My 3 year old loves their Choco Monkey Boost smoothies, and I love their savory crepes. I somehow have not yet tried the sweet crepes but friends have really enjoyed them. The space is bright and clean with tons of natural light. Free Wi-Fi, chess, and other details make The Creperie a great place to work, hang out, and bring the family. I am surprised it took us so long to visit, but our family loves this spot! My only warning: Parking can be a little tricky depending on the time of the day.

Service was quick and friendly, and parking was super easy with plenty of open spots nearby. When I got there there was no line at all, but by the time I left there was a line out the door, which definitely says something. I didn't try the food this time, but everything coming out looked amazing. Looking forward to going back!

Second time, we went back Friday 9am for our favorite of the three. No line. Out of inventory. Cashier very dismissive; looking away with annoyance when deciding what to buy instead - despite no one behind us.

this place was definitely one of my bf's and my favorite meals in monterey since everything was…read moresuper yummy! we came here on a thursday morning and the place was crowded but there was no wait. also, the waitresses were so kind and attentive despite it being so busy, continuously asking us if we needed anything else or refills for water. much appreciated !!! foods: - lumpia: came out HOT and crispy! we had to cut it to let it cool down, but it was really good and crunchy and paired well with the sweet and sour sauce! it can get a bit oily, and we did see a bit of oil just pooled on the plate, so i'd probably limit to just one if you're not a big fan of oily foods. - pork belly fried rice: the pork belly was crispy and savory and paired so well with the fried rice and egg! the fried rice has bell pepper in it, which surprised me bc i'd never eaten that combo before, but i still enjoyed it! this was my bf's favorite dish and he kept talking about it the rest of the day LOL - lemon curd & blueberry pancakes: i absolutely LOVED this !! i'm usually not a big fan of sweet breakfast items, but this one was perfectly not too sweet and the lemon curd added such a nice tanginess that helped cut through the sweetness. i also loved how the pancakes were filled with blueberries and had more blueberries on top, so there was no skimping! we were surprised that we finished it all bc we usually don't eat all of our pancakes, so that really says how yummy it was hehe.

What is it about this spot that people like? Because, for me, it just isn't the food…read more We've been here a few times now, and every visit has been pretty much the same. The food just lacks flavor, and there's nothing that really stands out. Honestly, it's the kind of breakfast I feel like I could make at home. The pancakes were just okay, and while the French toast was probably the best thing we tried, it was way too sweet for my taste. The portions are pretty good, and the service has always been friendly and fast, which I definitely appreciate. But overall, I just don't think it's worth the wait or the price. I really wanted to understand the hype, but after giving it multiple chances, it just wasn't for me.

Very cool and hip cafe in old town Monterey. I think it is in a historic building as it totally…read morelooks like a Spanish Mission era type of building. Super open and airy, there's a separate room off to the side with some haphazardly laid out tables and seats. The main retail area is pretty busy with people lined up placing orders/waiting for an order, or people fixing up their coffee drinks. Now even though I took my goods to-go I had to go out to their patio to find a restroom. That outdoor area is totally cool, totally out in the open but you're like in a square inside a fort, surrounded by walls, so you can't see any street action. But you're totally open to roam in here from the street. Next time I'm in this area, I'm definitely gonna make time to chill on that patio. Cold Brew ($6.50/5*) Perfect to my taste, smooth and mellow on the roast. Pricey for a small cup but this is a touristy area. Banana Bread Slice ($5.25/4*) Very thick slice. Super soft yet moist in the center but firmer and more well done on the edges. Pretty dark in color, maybe some cocoa powder went in but there were also tiny hits of dark chocolate throughout. Mild natural banana flavor, wished it were stronger but that's me. Blue Corn Cookie ($5/5*) Never had a cookie like this before but I was pretty impressed. Kinda like a cornbread but made into the texture of a good cookie, so it was crisp and buttery on the bottom and moist and chewy in the center. All whilst having a pronounced corn meal flavor and texture. Major props for exposing me to something new that I enjoyed immensely. Went great with sips of black cold brew. Most other things in their pastry case seemed a tad fancier than most other regular coffee shops. I'm just glad I was able to run into and choose a more special cafe to end my beautiful trip out in the central coast.

You truly can't go wrong with any of the pastries here…read more The coffee drinks are just ok. The environment is really wonderful. The staff is hit and miss (some are kind, some are a bit impatient). They DONT have WiFi and was told the WiFi password is only for the owner... which i find to be very odd if they are a coffee shop. Definitely not a place to sit and work or study.
