Crema's Take

“Captain + Stoker is a charming seaside spot that nails the laid-back California coffee shop vibe with outdoor-only seating and a walk-up ordering window that feels refreshingly casual. Their espresso drinks are the real draw—think perfectly pulled triple lattes and buttery croissants—though service can be a bit uneven, so don't expect lightning-fast execution even during quieter moments. It's the kind of place that wins you over with its relaxed atmosphere and quality coffee once you settle in with a pastry on the picnic bench overlooking the coast.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries on the menu.

Great coffee. Walk up and order outside, there is no indoor seating but a picnic bench outside. Would come again :)
