Dockside
11 Fishermans Wharf, Monterey, CA
Crema's Take
“Dockside is a waterfront spot on Old Fisherman's Wharf where locals genuinely return for fresh oysters and house-made chowder served in sourdough bread bowls, even if the coffee takes a backseat to the seafood. The vibe is casual and family-friendly with a chill front-of-house crew, making it an easy grab for coffee and a snack while strolling the wharf, though quality and pricing can feel inconsistent depending on what you order. It's the kind of place where you'll find your people among the oyster lovers and long-haul travelers looking for something real after a road trip, just maybe skip the sandwiches.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

A great place right on the left side to stop off as you walk onto Old Fisherman's Wharf for cold water, soda, hot coffee, mocha and hot chocolate, a delicious shrimp and oyster cocktail and so much more... before you stroll the Wharf!
A great quick dinner after a long roadtrip to Monterey. We had a sourdough bread bowl with clam chowder that hit the spot the first night we were in Monterey. Reasonably priced, too! On another day, we had shrimp sandwiches - there was too much bread and it was dry. Stick with…
