Captain + Stoker
1793 Catalina St Suite A, Seaside, CA
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.”

Delicious latte! Friendly customer service. Such a great atmosphere. Will visit many locations!
Seemed like a chill spot. When we got there they were apologizing to the customers in front of us for screwing up their order. I also accidentally gave a $10 tip instead of $1 but figured ehhh maybe itll be worth it…IT WAS NOT. We waited almost 15 mins and I watched when my drink came out, they just let the espresso shots sit for a while. The mocha I got tasted EXTREMELY bitter, like I was drinking sour milk. Not worth the time or money. They got a nice vibe with a combi VW van outside, but the coffee is not it here. UPDATE: "it’s too bad you guys gotta hit us twice with the same review!" My wife is entitled to her own opinion separate from mine. Definitely not appreciated. We both have secondary google accounts we use for business. If we wanted to be malicious we could do 4 total reviews.
Cute little coffee shop, but my husband and I waited about 10 mins for a vanilla latte and a small mocha, with no other customers around. Once we got the coffees they tasted sour and bitter. We couldn’t ask for new ones because we had a conference to be at : /
The best tripple latte and croissant I have had in a while. You must stop by when in Pacific Grove.
Great coffee. Walk up and order outside, there is no indoor seating but a picnic bench outside. Would come again :)
