Love the fact that Fog City Java is close to the beach. That fact plus the simple fact they exist at all in their location are some of the few positives about this business.
The coffee is only average at best.
The croissants appear to be good but the flavor and texture is below average.
They do not provide free Internet.
They charge for debit card and credit card transactions.
Their prices are more than others places. About 20% - 30% more for the same thing.
Their hours of operation are comparatively restricted.
Positive points include :
ONE (1) minute walk from the beach sand. You can see the Ocean if you stand up.
Table outside to enjoy the morning sun.
Mexicali Mocha is good enough.
Quick access to / from Highway 1.
While Fog City Java is not the worst place I feel that even the Starbucks on Linda Mar Blvd presents a better value. Even though it is farther from the beach I would visit Beach Monkey Cafe if I was looking for a quality cup of coffee in a well rounded business.
But FCJ is beach local and if your expectations can be managed then Fog City Java may be right for you. read more
