Crema's Take

“Ape Coffee earns serious points for creative signature drinks like the Snow Monkey and Tiramisu Ice Latte that actually taste inventive rather than gimmicky, plus their matcha program rivals dedicated matcha shops in the area. The pastry selection stands out with uncommon options you won't find everywhere, and there's solid parking plus outdoor seating if you want to linger, though recent reviews suggest quality has become inconsistent so hit-or-miss these days. It's a solid grab before hiking or errands, but longtime fans have noticed a dip in execution over the past few months.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Really unfortunate but I decided to give this coffee shop a second chance and it failed. They used to have great avocado toast with their drinks but now they've shrunk it down to be so tiny and definitely not worth the price. Won't be going back.

Best coffee and matcha in the area. I love the Snow Monkey (get mine 75% sweet) and the Incredible Ape. Always delicious, lot of good and even interesting pastries I don’t see commonly (or at all) like various croissants and kouign amanns. Also love the elusive banana bread.…

First time checking this place out, and I was not disappointed. Before anything this place does not accept cash, card only! I tried the Tiramisu Ice Latte with espresso instead of matcha, and it was delicious. My friend had the Cloud Ape, a cold brew topped with cream and cocoa…
