Reviews for Carmel Valley Coffee Roasting in Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA
Best mocha I've tried yet.
Nice coffee at a good price, good and quick service. Very consistent flavor of latte.
The atmosphere is pleasant, the quality of coffee is good, the host was friendly and the music is up beat..
Very nice it was open on Thanksgiving day. Enjoyed my latte, but my husband thought his tasted "burnt ". They also sell their... coffee beans! The coffee cake was pretty moist and fresh baked. Read more
Slow service. Terrible coffee taste. Got ghirardelli chocolate mocha. Didn't even taste chocolate. Bitter burn coffee flavor
I?m not a coffee connoisseur, and I didn?t read the bad reviews, but I stopped by because my friend and I were in the area. So,... there?s that. I ordered an iced Fogbreaker Latte; the friendly cashier said it was a vanilla latte with honey and cinnamon. Itwas really good! My friend ordered a pumpkin spice latte, which she said she liked. The surrounding area was super cute andthere were tables and other places to sit in the back of the coffee shop. There?s also plenty of parking and lots of places toexplore. I liked how close it is to the beach, which is where we went to enjoy our coffee :) Read more
The Latte with almond milk was so delicious! Quiet and relaxing place to enjoy your morning coffee.
Probably the best coffee in Carmel (emphasis on "in Carmel"). If you are a bay area transplant and looking for a Blue Bottle... alternative, try Acme in Seaside or Captain + Stoker in Monterey. That's where real coffee connoisseurs seem to flock. (I'm nota coffee expert.) One interesting factoid I found is the roasting facility is indeed in Carmel Valley but they have nostorefront in the valley. Surprisingly, another local coffee shop is pretty much next door in the same shopping complex in thevalley and they don't get the beans from this roastery. It would be literally few steps. Instead, they get it shipped from aroastery somewhere else. Speaking of fierce competition! In such a homely little rural town too! I wonder if this company usedto have a coffee shop at the same spot where the other coffee shop is now operating. ???? They don't get much business as thereis no tourist traffic in the valley. The owners of this roastery seemed like an enterprising kind of couple so I'm guessing theyfelt the valley had no real market. After all, it's likely that most of Carmel residents have a top of the line Breville (oreven a Simonelli) at home. The real business comes from tourists. Read more
