Anyone going here, know this isn't starbucks don't come in expecting this, I didnt, but read reviews and see people did, so be warned! It is a typical coffee shop. Meaning there is maybe 7 things on the menu and none of it has sugar syrups. Just coffee and milk and some teas. They have a seasonal flavor, homemade vanilla and honey option. I got the flat white with honey. It was good coffee. Nothing really special. I got the cheese Danish. It was good but not a Danish more like a bagel/apple thing. light flavor. The space was tight: about 5 booth chairs close to one another along a wall, and two small outdoor tables. I wouldn't sit and read here or work, which is something I look for with these coffee places. Paid about $15 with tip. Customer service was nice. I'd come again, it wasn't bad, not amazing for me though.
Best coffee I’ve had in ‘24. Depth, multifaceted, and makes you want to show up the next day. Good coffee can be like a good movie, it makes you think about it the next day. Yes, Beacon did it for me but maybe I just miss Ventura. People there are super nice and they even have classes for coffee aficionados. Most charge you but it gets you involved and sounds like a fun learning experience. I’d come back for it.
This coffee you guysssss!!! It's so good! As soon as you walk in, you get greeted by the friendliest staff! Top-notch service I got the honey cappuccino, and I honestly was so impressed! I'm a huge coffee lover and extremely picky. It had me at the first sip and just kept getting better! I also tried a pastry and just WOW!!! This is definitely a new go-to spot!
Love this local roaster! I love buying their coffee as gifts for other coffee lovers, they even package it up really cute in their bag so it’s ready to gift! So happy I found this place!
Beacon coffee is a treat on those mornings I find myself in Ventura. The coffee selection is simple and precisely prepared. The tea selection, both hot and cold, are always delightful. The staff are friendly and helpful. The pastry offerings are always delicious. Be it a muffin, a hand pie or a small tart, the selection has been different every time I visit. There is always a twist to the selection which makes the pastry unique and memorable. Today's Lumberjack Coffee Cake had a crispy shredded coconut topping and a soft apple cinnamon center. Looking forward to my next visit.
