Fun nautical themed coffee bar
In San Pedro for a cruise, looking for a coffee place to try. This place came up as an option, so I made the trek to try them out.
The outside is unassuming, especially given its location in the city. The inside is very nautically themed with a touch of artistic whimsy. The decor is tasteful but effective, somewhat finicky but not overly so.
When I came in, a large group of locals swarmed the location to have their cups of coffee and chat. Lots of older gents and ladies all enjoying cups of drip coffee and oatmeal or berries and cream.
I ordered a mermaids kiss latte. Raspberry and white chocolate flavors. I was lured in by the siren after all, so it only seemed proper to get a kiss. Bakery stuff didn't look the freshest, do I only did coffee this time around.
Pricing was pretty reasonable, about 5 dollars for a 12 oz. Drink cane out quickly so I took pics and drank deeply.
Overall, pretty good. Coffee was strong, but the raspberry was stronger. White chocolate devolved to just sugar and helped in overpowering the coffee. It was still good, just very sweet.
As an explorer, the place is just funky enough to warrant a visit if you're in the area. It needs better breakfast fare, and to tamper the sugar a little in their latte, but it's good coffee at a good price. read more
