Dogtown Coffee

This was an awful experience from start to finish. The cashier was rude and dismissive, making me feel like I was a problem just for ordering. He also told me the only option left was a gluten-free bagel, without ever mentioning that it would cost more. Only when I got the bill did I see an extra $2.50 per bagel tacked on - no warning, no explanation, nothing. On top of that, the bagel itself was terrible. Dry, bland, and barely touched with cream cheese. For the inflated price they charged, I expected at least something edible. Between the rude service, the sneaky upcharge, and the disappointing food, I’ll never come back. Absolutely not worth it.

I was greeted by a lady telling me that they were closing in a few minutes. Ok, fair… I understand wanting to go home after a long shift. I quickly ordered a pumpkin spiced coffee which was pretty good and a plain bagel with cream cheese, which was unfortunately burned to a rock hard crisp and inedible. Since I unfortunately placed my order right before closing, when I returned to try to get a refund the employee was walking out and didn’t acknowledge me. I’m a local but will be looking for another coffee shop to frequent

Simple but delicious Goes for both, the hot mocha and the Bay Street slider. Nothing fancy but the basics done right Cool space to chill with your laptop and they have much more seating on the side and back. Will definitely be back to try some of their treats and more breakfast menu items!

Ordered “Organic Oatmeal” and strong small cappuccino. Sister had Açai Bowl and Turmeric Latte. First of all, they serve everything in to go packaging, even when you’re eating in. Sooo much garbage why? Just to save doing the dishes? Don’t tip. There is no table service. Order and pick up is from the counter. The oatmeal was super dry and caked. When I went in to ask for some hot milk to make the cold oatmeal edible they pointed me to the coffee milk jug on the takeout counter. When I said, that would make my breakfast colder, the stoned dude behind the counter said, “no it won’t.” I asked again for hot milk and got charged $1.05. The coffee was foamy but like soap not smooth. The turmeric latte was just powder dumped onto a latte. The Açai bowl was frozen. The outdoor seating was a chain link concrete parking lot next to huge garbage bins. This a place trying to live off of its name and historic relationship to skaters but it’s like McDonald’s and a trailer park had a kid, threw some RayBans on the toddler and pushed it behind a counter -“go on kid. Make the people some breakfast.”

This should be a place I go to often because it has healthy options for burritos and more. Unfortunately, the spinach and goat cheese burrito with vegan sausage was super bland. All I could taste was the goat cheese. And the staff seemed nonplussed, at best. There’s a large patio out back, with a great view of trash dumpsters, and the pleasant aroma of nearby smokers. With so many coffee shop options in the area, I recommend trying other places.
