Counterpoint Coffee

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
