ARS Cafe

Decided to hang out in Monsarrat area after catching the sunrise at the beach nearby.The fiancé wanted to grab a cup of coffee. I had our dog with us so I waited outside while he ordered. He ended up coming back outside and motioned for me to come in. It's always nice to be able to go places that are dog friendly.My fiancé ordered a cafe late. He requested that it not be piping hot so the barista offered to steam the milk at a lesser temp (135 degrees). We always worry about sipping hot coffee drinks too soon and burning our tongues. This coffee was the perfect temp for us. No tongues were burned in the tasting of the coffee..lol. We also ordered a ham and cheese croissant. It was actually prosciutto, provolone on a croissant that was pressed and drizzled with honey. It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Definitely, a great spot to grab a coffee and bite to eat!

Cherry croissant was freshly baked and such a crisp great flavor. Cherry and almond wasn't just a fake flavoring. The ube scone was more of a cookie texture, it definitely didn't crumble the way a scone is supposed to but the ube taste was great. Great pour over coffee! 100% Kona beans coffee! Cute little cafe spot that features a lot of artists. Tiny tables of indoor seating. Breakfast bagel was gigantic and had so many veggies packed inside. Fried rice was really nicely done, and had a good amount of Portuguese sausage. Egg was poached perfectly!

Got iced pourovers with the single origin beans offered. The flavors were on the weaker side, kinda diluted. But the place was cute.

Such a cute cafe with the most wonderful vibes! Baristas super were kind and friendly. Went here for brunch prior to going to the beach. I ordered a matcha latte with lavender syrup and the prosciutto provolone croissant. The matcha was perfect, very grounded without being too earthy or sweet. The croissant was also to die for. It was crispy and flaky, perfectly toasted by the panini press. The savory prosciutto was perfectly balanced with the sharpness of the cheese, but not overpoweringly so. It was topped off with a drizzle of honey which was a delectable addition. My friends were also quite satisfied with their orders. A new favorite, and will definitely be returning.

Nice wooden interior like a mix of an old library and coffee bar. They play good jazz to go along with the coffee.

The interior was very nice, although the dude working at the establishment seemed a bit standoffish. Maybe that's just the vibe at coffee places idk LOL. The matcha latte I got with honey was good but it wasn't spectacular. I always passed by this place but never bothered to visit. I will admit that the space was very aesthetically pleasing and I can imagine myself coming here sipping a drink and sketching things in my artbook. It has that kind of vibe lol

I parked right in front. Just wanted to stop in for a drink. A matcha to be specific. It was a nice little cafe. I do want to go look around next time. It was a cute cafe. I ordered the matcha with mango puree. It was quite interesting. I would go back to get more drinks. Maybe sit in there awhile. Or maybe order food!

6/17/23 this place definitely serves quality coffee. I haven't been here in several years but the space is still beautiful with the wooden details and art. On a Saturday morning there were several customers hanging out inside enjoying the espresso. They have ample seating both inside and outside. Several tables and chairs and also a bar seating along the wall. Customer service was ok. The workers could be a bit more smiley. My cappuccino was smooth and delicious. There's some street parking right in front. I noticed their food menu but will need to come back and try it. Yes, I'll definitely be coming back to this place.

This is such a intriguing coffee shop. Love that it's a small and unique place. Unfortunately the espresso machine was broken so lots of drinks were not available. They still had coffee, teas and cold brews. I actually came in because my 2 year old really had to use the restroom and they were extremely cool about letting us use theirs. I ended up ordering a matcha with macadamia nut milk and two iced vanilla milks for my kids. Both were drank with ease. They also have a selection of baked goods as well as avocado toast and some eggs and such. Didn't have time to try the food but lots of other people were!Service was great and very friendly. They have a bunch of art hanging throughout the shop and a beautiful wood coffee bar. It's a little unfinished and could use some cleaning (if you are going to paint everything white you must keep it white) but over all a great spot. I would love to come back and try an espresso drink and definitely plan on it.

I will definitely recommend. Lovely place. Cozy atmosphere, great service and stuff so friendly.
