Counterpoint Coffee

A cozy, loft-style place, spacious, with interesting design! You can spend time in the comfortable chairs! The coffee is perfect and pastries are good. I like the black mugs there, they are pleasant to drink from.

Best coffee shop in Seaside with a cozy vibe! My husband got the regular coffee and really enjoyed the flavor. The coffee is sourced locally from Santa Cruz, which is a positive way to build community. I got the Iced Ube Latte and have had the hot before. Both are great! While we were there the owner played the Sandals Endless Summer Vinyl and shared a cool story about the band. Lots of seating, and a clean spacious bathroom.

Yes it’s a bit more pricey than your standard cafe but I don’t mind paying for the ambiance of this place. Very spacious and full of character, I’m sure the rent isn’t cheap. I had a regular latter and my wife had an oat milk decaf lavender latte and we both really enjoyed what we had.

The coffee is great, the pastries are delicious and the baristas are warm and friendly. They play a wide mix vinyl records from various artists. This is a great place to relax and think.

I had a mixed experience here. While the service and coffee was fine, I was concerned about the cleanliness during my visit. There were several flies inside the pastry display case, and the seating area was a little dusty/dirty. Additionally, the bathroom was in need of attention. I hope these issues can be addressed, as I’d love to come back.
