"cant lie the 40 minute wait was hard but this was THE BEST AVOCADO TOAST I HAVE EVER HAD!! Toasting perfectly with olive oil, chili flakes and soft boiled egg (+3.5$) ouh it was so good! The matcha was less good but still nice. Maybe open more registers in the future but amazing quality food."

"Excellent espresso. Single source origin from Peru. Amazing flavor. Excellent base for all the specialty drinks. The undertow is great The staff is friendly and helpful. Barista knows his stuff. Perfect rating"

"Captain + Stoker is an excellent choice for coffee in Pacific Grove! They are open early and offer delicious coffee and baked goods. This location is very small, so you may have to wait outside, but drinks came out quickly."

"The best place to get high quality coffee in Monterey. Latte is flavorful and aromatic and the almond milk enhances the coffee instead of diluting it. We have been to both Captain + Stoker locations but we prefer the Pacific Grove one more. It is a slightly out-of-the-way, but there is never a wait and service is fast."

"Perfect latte! Great flavor with dark chocolate notes, creamy texture all the way to the bottom, and beautiful art on top. These baristas know what they're doing. Small shop with enough room to stand and order, and a cozy window counter. Standard size is 12oz, but boost yours to 16oz for only $.75. Worth it!"
