Great, warm-hearted shop with excellent coffee and fresh-made food. We ate breakfast there twice and loved the Breakfast Sandwich. Definitely worth a stop. read more

San Juan Batista, what a cute town with a delicious roaster and cafe. We received a bag of coffee as a gift from here and I was sad when it was all gone. So happy we finally paid a visit. My husband and I both got our regular vanilla lattes and I got a chorizo burrito while he ordered a regular breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious!! (Highly recommend, but you don't have to take my word for it.) We came back a couple weeks later and this time I got the Spellbound (i believe it's a cappuccino with briwn sugar). Their coffee is so smooth and has a nice body. I'm so happy we have a café to go to that's local and flavorful. (It might just take the lead on my Taylor Lane...) read more

Way beyond coffee! It may not be obvious from the outside, but Vertigo offers a lot more than just great coffee drinks. They have: * breakfast items like avocado toast & breakfast burritos * salads * great sandwiches * wood-fired pizza * dessert pastries * A nice selection of micro-brew beers on tap Service is fast, and they're happy to explain the menu or recommend things. The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. There is indoor seating and a nice patio area (which is dog friendly). My favorite sandwich is the buratta - roasted cherry tomatoes, basil, pesto, and balsamic vinegar on a ciabatta roll. (I always split it with my dog.) By the way, the name is an homage to the classic Alfred Hitchcock film "Vertigo" (1958). The climactic scene in the movie was filmed at Mission San Juan Bautista. read more

Interesting joint they've got here. Vendor out front selling their wares, a giant smoker their staff was managing that had wood fired pizzas, and an old rustic building. I feel bad we passed this place for our commute to Monterey or wherever without stopping by. This will become our regular stop on our way through. I ordered a White chocolate mocha latte w/oatmilk, plus salted caramel. Tasted great. I said if they had raspberry syrup & added it to this, they'd have themselves a Snow White! They apologized for not having that syrup in, but for some odd reason I had a hankering for one. I told the dude barista that the raspberry adds a hint of bitter to the intense sweet of the white chocolate to contrast the flavors, and note his interest is peaked! They have lots of seating, baked goods, fresh food, wine, and local goods. Definitely worth a stop by. read more

A quaint little coffee shop for a quaint little town. San Juan Bautista is known for it's mission but this little gem has definitely made their presence known. With their cute little curb appeal of a floral decorated patio area equipped with a brick oven. You walk in and are met with the wonderful fragrance of coffee. Then you are welcomed by the barista's behind the counter. They offer a few items on their shelves from what seems like locals and small business owners. Anywhere from jams to beef jerky. We also noticed that a few of the art pieces that adorned the walls were for sale. I had their yummy iced lavender latte and my son had a iced matcha latte sweetened with some honey. We'll be back :-) read more

Cute coffee shop in the little town of San Juan Bautista! They roast their own coffee on site, kind of charming to see the roaster in the indoor dining area . They also have an assortment of pastries, bread and menu items as well as fermented teas and other yummy drinks. Barista was friendly and lastly, coffee was pretty good, americano with oat milk I guess the only thing I didn't like was the name of this place, Vertigo, ugh. read more

I am not from this area, and stumbled upon Vertigo Coffee. Upon entering, I realized there was an outdoors and indoors seating option. There are lights outdoors that would give the outside a lot of ambience if you come here after dark. I ordered the iced mocha coffee and really enjoyed the richness of the coffee and the slight sweetness of the mocha. The staff were very friendly and even opened the door for me! If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely come back with friends. read more

Vertigo Coffee Roasters was amazing! I had one of the best lattes I've ever had. The pastries were delicious and had the perfect texture. They were roasting the coffee beans fresh when we walked in. One note - lunch items including pizzas are available after 12 pm. read more

My cousin and I came here this morning and ordered avocado toast. This is what we got. Presentation wise this looks horrible. Also not to mention it is overly priced for what we received. The avocado toast I got was the one with the hummus, but are you kidding me? Look at the avocado pieces!!!! this isn't even considered half of a avocado and for $10? This is insane read more

This has become my stopping place when coming home from the Monterey area. Great coffee and friendly folks. A great independent coffee shop without pretense. It's a quick stop of the 156 Hwy. They even roast their own coffee right in the store! read more

A mandatory stop in San Juan Bautista -- friendly service, strong coffee, and cozy vibes! Vertigo also has a great selection of food, pastries, and coffee beans, which they roast in house. I ordered a breakfast burrito, which was savory and filling, but a bit soggy. Overall, a solid local coffee shop worth checking out next time you're in the area! read more

Excellent coffee with the added bonus of potentially seeing the coffee roasting process at work alongside the sitting area. The outdoor area was lovely, though on a winter day, we preferred indoors. There are also local beers, ciders, wines, tinned fish, and hot sauce for sale. If you were running late for a party, I bet there would be a gift that you could pick up here. read more

Vertigo Coffee Roasters - Cappuccino and vanilla late - Cafes Near Me - San Juan Bautista, California

Poor service. At least a half a dozen employees behind the counter, scrambling around trying to figure it out. No smiles, no greeting, they seemed irritated that customers were arriving. I've lived in this town for 1 year now, i come for selection of micro beers and the pizza which is usually good. Last Saturday I brought a friend after our hike. We ordered at the same time, each got one beer and a pizza. My friend was done with his pizza by the time I got mine, I had to remind them twice about my order. When they finally brought it, they didn't even apologize about the wait. They put the tip line when you make the purchase, before you've even received the service. They didn't deserve the tip we left. read more

This place would be a gold mine if they 'd fixed the place up a bit. It really needs some TLC. It has such a cool, historic name! Awesome coffee too! read more

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The coffee was strong and the ambience was great for this little town. Highly recommend.

Expensive and not very good. The bread was great! But sandwich was just so bland and plain. Cheap turkey used. And don't ask for mustard. They don't have any for a sandwich. read more

The quintessential little cafe in a town known for a historic mission and the namesake directorial venture of the most famous filmmakers in the world. The coffee is spot on. The service is very courteous and the people are warm. You can sit with that cup in the patio and spend the whole day in the sun. I loved the coffee roaster on site and the pace was just different as it took us back to a coffee infused time of small batch roasting. Definitely an experience to check out and grab a bag of beans to reminiscence and get back again! read more

Vertigo Coffee Roasters - Marg pie. Uses either a cooked base or tomato paste, very delicious. They use a high quality olive oil on it and the flavor comes through. - Cafes Near Me - San Juan Bautista, California

I really wanted to give this place five stars because it has so much potential. The coffee shop itself is adorable, and the outdoor patio is a lovely touch, perfect for relaxing with a drink. However, customer service is such a vital part of any successful business, and unfortunately, that's where this visit fell short. When we walked in, there were about four people behind the counter, but not one of them greeted us, smiled, or acknowledged our presence. It felt unwelcoming right from the start. The young woman who took our order barely spoke; aside from pointing out there would be a question after payment (regarding the tip). The overall vibe felt more like disinterest than hospitality, and that "too cool to care" attitude often associated with hipster spots really took away from the experience. read more

Eh mid for the price. Mid as in I probably wont go back. Coffee was bland and tasted watered down. The breakfast sandwich i got, if I wanted an unflavored, unseasoned sandwich I wouldve just gone to my school's cafeteria, which somehow is better than vertigo. Service was mid, no recommendations or even being friendly. As someone who works in customer service you can tell when someone is new but regardless, it doesnt hurt to ask if youve been there before and recommend different products for your own personal reasons. I was looking for outlets so i could chill and do hw at a coffee shop but they hardly had any for customers. 2 stars for the most basic service, food, and ambience and because im being generous. Nothing about this place stood out tbh. read more

My new go to coffee shop as a recent Hollister resident. Vertigo is doing a lot right and that brings me back, truly wish I could give them 5 stars but we will come back to why I am not. The location is great and I love their outdoor garden and pop up markets. The coffee is fresh and their syrups are organic which makes a big difference. Their food also offers some great authentic pizzas and breakfast options--my favorite is the breakfast sandwich on the organic sourdough! My iced vanilla latte is always a treat and constantly made. So, with so much good why not 5 stars? The service when ordering can be cold and dry even as a regular customer which honestly doesn't sit right with me. There have honestly been times where my order was taken and I wasn't even greeted and this is kind of the vibe with most of the front staff unfortunately. I hope management reads this and addresses the lack of proper customer service etiquette. read more

We just happened upon this spot, as it was close to the hotel we were staying in. We really enjoyed our latte, Mexican mocha, and breakfast burritos. It's more than a coffee place too... lots of other interesting things to check out there. We got lucky, as today is Saturday, and there was a guy selling organic vegetables just outside their door. So breakfast lunch and dinner are all covered. we were not able to explore the little downtown area, which looks kind of cool, so next time we're heading up to the Monterey area will leave a little earlier and allow for some time in San Juan Bautista. Recommended! read more

The pizza from Vertigo is one of the best in the area, including Hollister. My wife and I come at least every other week for our fix of their Green Flash pizza. But honestly, all of their pizza is delicious. You can't go wrong. Their chicken Bahn Mi is also great! The place is counter service, with a coffee bar fulfilling coffee drinks, but they also serve tap beer along with a fridge full of locally sourced canned beer - perfect for pairing with their pizza. My wife always gets their Micheladas which are absolutely fantastic! When we're in need of some beans, we pick up a bag of their freshly roasted coffee! If you're lucky, they're roasting in a day you go in - the aroma is intoxicating. They also have a cute garden area to eat in if the weathers nice. If in the area, vertigo is a must. Even if for just a cup of coffee. Great vibes. Great food. Great everything! read more

Very cute coffee spot, with lots of staff to serve the guests quickly. We got a masala chai and a latte to go. Both were delicious. They also serve food, but we just stopped in quickly so maybe next time we'll try their food. They have some seating inside and plenty of patio seating too, seems like a chill spot to grab a cup of coffee and chat with your friends. Pet friendly, there were a few dogs there with their humans. They also sell beer, local hand-made candles, and some other things we didn't quite look at in detail. read more

Great code and fantastic service. The baked goods are fresh and tasty. Pricing is fair and there are lots of Knick knacks to shop for.

Cute little coffee house in Downtown San Juan Bautista named after Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo movie filmed at the old Mission. I went inside to order but no menu at all. It wasn't until you get up to the register where there are stacks of paper menu but you have to scan quickly to order. A larger menu would be appreciated! I ordered a small matcha with almond milk (+1.50) with sugar. It came out to be almost $7 for a matcha but it was sweetened how I like it. The breakfast burrito was large and comes with scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, bell peppers and the works. Pricey but I don't mind supporting local businesses. Plus they were opened early. A good place to come after walking around the Mission and surrounding downtown areas. read more

Love this cute cafe in San Juan Bautista. Coffee here is really quite good, and the breakfast offerings are also yummy! While I love me a nice, hipster, contemporary coffee shop, it's beginning to feel almost a bit overdone in Silicon Valley / SF Bay. The decor of Vertigo fits the quaint city very well, a mix of industrial and cottage style, and service is comfortable, local, and friendly. I swing by every time I'm in the area! read more

This was such a cute town and stop on the way to Pinnacles National Park! The breakfast burrito and bowls were so light and filling, and the prices were reasonable. They did take a really long time to make their food (about 20 min), but it's okay since the food was presented with so much care! (See photos) You should prepare to wait a bit if you try this place, and there are many other customers in line though. read more

My family and I came here for the first time yesterday and I'll start by saying we actually really enjoyed the coffee it was delish! But the customer service was not that great...the girl behind the counter with black hair and bangs was very rude and stand offish. Although she wasn't the nicest we decided to go again, for Mother's Day to enjoy the coffee and give it another shot (not everyone has the best days everyday) but today she was just as rude with a nasty attitude and got mad at me for using the cinnamon on the counter... It really sucks to come to a nice establishment on a vacation with your family to receive not only once but twice, poor customer service. I would have love to given this coffee shop 5 stars because of the coffee but because of the unprofessional service received I have to go with one. read more

Thank you Vertigo for lifting my spirits on a long drive! Garden: Hands down 10 out of 10 - absolutely pleasure to have a seat outside in the beautiful, artistic garden with plenty of outdoor seating and overhead lighting. All the perfect touches made me want to stay longer than a quick stop. I was the only one there since I was late for lunch so walked all over the place to admire the carefully organized flowers growing around the exterior - someone let the garden team know you're doing fab! Music: Today's playlist was just right. It can totally destroy your tired mind to walk in to a cafe with techno babble, the pop/folk/country vibe was awesome. Service: As I said, I came late afternoon for lunch and on a weekday - all the servers were helpful and friendly. No fake snooty barista attitudes, just simple manners and thank you for that! Also, the at table service was on par, thank you team Vertigo! Menu: Loved the menu line up-- there is something for every one and anytime! Pizza: I had a piping hot Margherita pizza. The thin crust was perfection out of wood fired oven, however the tomato base was out of a can and spread a bit thick. The mozzarella was sparse but I'm good with holding back the cheese just enough :-) Um also not enough basil :-) I highly recommend switching out the tomato base, it made me sad. Come on guys, I know you can do a good Margherita from that beautiful oven! I left without getting coffee as I was in a hurry and have read the reviews that say its not hot or great. I'll come back and update after I try it in a few beats. read more
