Coastal Peaks Coffee-New Location

Coastal Peaks Coffee has moved just down the street from where they used to be. They are now located at 3566 South Higuera, Suite 100.  The new location is very nice, spacious, inviting, and relaxing.  In fact, if you sit near the aquarium, watching the fish and sipping your coffee, you might never want to leave!  Sheila had a 12 ounce regular cup of coffee.  There were four options to choose from and she chose the Deep Mahogany Roast, which is a combination of African, Indonesian, and Central American coffees.  True to its description, it was syrupy and smooth, with a smoky finish.Very satisfying, and only $2.00.  Refills are available for just $1.00, and regular customers are encouraged to bring their own cups and fill them at the coffee station.  Joan got a small vanilla bean sugar free latte with almond milk.  It came to $5.10.  She described it as foamy, creamy, and smooth with the almond milk providing a perfect balance.  It came with a tiny delicious shortbread cookie.  Other drinks, baked goods, and lunch and breakfast items round out the menu.  Clientele were varied, including business people, retirees, and friends meeting friends.  It was steadily busy, but waiting time was minimal.  Coastal Peaks is a micro brewery and we were treated to a tour of the roasting room, which is visible through a window from the inside, by Rochelle, one of the very friendly baristas who work there.  She does a "Coffee Academy" once a month, which sounds like so much fun!


There are comfortable club chairs, couches, tables and chairs, counter seats, and pleasant outdoor seating.






Small batches of beans are roasted all day long, ensuring a quality product.

Think About It: Some quit due to slow progress, never grasping the fact that...slow progress is progress.
