Bookworks
667 Lighthouse Ave, Pacific Grove, CA
Crema's Take
“Bookworks seamlessly blends a beloved independent bookstore with a craft coffee haven, making it the perfect refuge for readers and coffee enthusiasts alike to settle in for hours. Their specialty drinks shine—think strawberry matcha lattes with vibrant puree and creative honey lavender creations—while the cozy, laptop-friendly space encourages the kind of slow, meandering visits that make a café feel like a second home. Pair your expertly crafted espresso drink with a flaky almond croissant or savory breakfast sandwich, then browse the thoughtfully curated bookstore shelves before you leave.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
