The cafe was CLEAN, CLEAN !! This was a very nice experience for 4 friends to get together. Very welcoming, lovely building and nice people!! Thank you

Cute and cozy place to relax before my walk through Monterey. Staff and some local customers were very friendly. I enjoyed the vegan breakfast burrito, it had great flavor.

They have the perfect fresh squeezed orange juice. I tried their veggie Samosa and they are spicy and so good .

Vacation in Monterey is allowing me to try different coffee places. When I lived here, it was different. East Village is so cool! Arrived early and was welcomed immediately upon entering. Ordered a brown sugar cinnamon latte. They come with two shots. And a drip coffee, the medium roast. Super cool vibes. Different rooms to chill and enjoy your treats. I got a day old treat for $1.00! Dipped in coffee the perfect accompaniment to coffee. They did have incense burning at the doorway. Sort of overwhelming scent, but fits the vibe of the place. A great little coffee shop. They sell food too but I just satisfied my sweet tooth this morning. Enjoy life and treat yourself! SYOY.

Such a cute vibe inside. almost gives a castle feel. The service was pretty standard as it is with most cafes. No problems but also nothing amazing. I got a vanilla matcha latte which for a seemingly random cafe in Monterey was really good. The matcha tasted good quality and the color was dark too. Also got a lemon poppy seed loaf which was much better than starbucks.

This is our favorite local spot in Monterey. The coffee is tasty and I normally get the Matcha with oat milk. The owner, Ryan is extremely nice and attentive and has become a friend of ours. He really takes care of his customers and make them feel at home. The café has an authentic feel. It's cozy limited seating options if it's busy, but there are outdoor seating as well.

I've visited East Village Cafe a couple of times and it's always a great experience. The owner, Ryan and his team are very friendly and professional. The cafe itself inviting and has a historic Carmel stone chalkrock interior. There are many different rooms with plenty of seating options. The shop also has some light bites and pastry items! Definitely a local favorite, this is a must stop when in Monterey bay!

Love love love the ambiance that this place exhibits! The stoned brick wall definitely adds character and makes it unique. Workers are very friendly when I visited during the afternoon on Friday. We wanted to grab a pick-me-up and I was drawn to the flavors they had that you don't usually see at most coffee shops. My friend had ordered a Pistachio Latte while I chose to try their Raspberry iced latte. I would never forget the faces my friend and I made to each other: confused and thrown off but in the best way possible. We weren't expecting a burst of the flavors we ordered at all! Usually, all lattes have that same overpowering flavor no matter what type you get, but theirs is definitely something that you could distinguish. A great place to have a little coffee hang out or date at. Heads up though!!! They do not have wi-fi, so it's not the most ideal place to work or do a group study at.
