"Studio Cafe is such a sweet little coffee shop! It is down the steps that opens into a courtyard with brick and walls covered in greenery. The tea here was delicious and there was so much care taken in all the details despite the open, minimalist feeling. The long curved bench outside is heated and there is ample seating outdoors. Enjoy!"

"What an interesting story behind this coffee shop and music studio. Coffee excellent. Owners very nice and accommodating giving a tour and story about the genesis of their business. Warmed large concrete bench outside stands out in terms of comfort while weather is cool when you still want to enjoy coffee outdoors."

"Studio Cafe is a special little treat tucked into a cute courtyard off the back, lower side of Wave Street. As a gluten free, highly discerning coffee drinker, we found this this place to be amazing! We lucked out and got the chocolate cherry muffins which were fresh from the oven! Sooo good that we bought two more to take home. The pour over coffee was rich, dark and super smooth made from freshly ground beans. Mmmmmm good! Perfect way to spend a morning!!"

"Cute little neighborhood cafe! We dropped by Studio Cafe in the middle of a tour of Monterey Bay Aquarium and were quite pleased by how cute and cozy our caffeine pit stop was! Studio Cafe has a lovely selection of different beans, all made in their pourover station. I love that they list out the flavor profiles for each bean type, and the staff is more than willing to help you find what best suits your tastes. I got one of their darker roasts, featuring rich and nutty flavors and low brightness (my favorite). We enjoyed our beverages in the lovely outdoor patio space, which also features a koi pond and pet turtle. They also have a few gluten free goodies, including two types of muffins and a brownie. They’re tasty, especially for something gluten free. All in all — loved this spot and highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy spot in Monterey, especially if you want a bit of a reprieve from the touristy spots!"

"Good coffee, locally roasted and a variety of teas. A cozy place along the bike pedestrian trail, away from the busy street of cannery row. I wish they have more than just coffee and teas. It would be great if they have good muffins, paninis or sandwiches. Slow drip coffees are great but if you like it very hot, by the time you get it, it's not that hot anymore."
