Just stopped for coffe. Didn't get any food. But the service was exceptional, personable and efficient. Amber, our barista, was definitely the sunshine of this coffee shop. We sat for awhile and I found an old Yamaha acoustic guitar that was remarkably in tune. So I played for awhile. This was a worthy place to stop on our meander down the CA coast on the 1.

A cute-hidden gem coffee shop located near the beach. The owner is super sweet, welcoming, kind, and helpful. I recommend you escape the big city coffee shops and visit Here Comes the Sun Coffee House. The patio has a nice view of the ocean and provides a relaxing place to enjoy your drink. At the time of our visit, the patio was under some renovations, but the owner allowed us to check it out while she worked on some stuff. There is plenty of parking in the front or the side of the building. They have a great selection of drinks and flavorings. Sugar free options are available which is fantastic. There are great nearby attractions such as the state beach and the harbor. Prices are also very reasonable. You won’t regret dedicating part of your day or trip visiting this location.

Looking for a meeting place with excellent coffee, service with an option to be indoors, outdoors or both? "Here Comes the Sun Coffee House" has a good selection of areas while providing wonderful tea and coffee options. I recently held an event at "Here Comes the Sun Coffee House" for my daughters birthday.  We hosted a cooking party for 10 children, a professional chef and photographer in the indoors space while the parents relaxed and enjoyed the main area and outside patio. The price was very reasonable (please call to find out about current rates) There was adequate space, outlets and seats. The restroom was well stocked and not in the way of our event. "Here Comes the Sun Coffee House" is the coastside gem of coffee shops. The owner is present weekly and is welcoming and helps create a warm and inviting environment. I highly recommend using "Here Comes the Sun Coffee House " as a meeting space, hosting an event, or enjoying a great cup of joe while the kids play in the toy house or play kitchen on the patio.

We absolutely love this coffee shop! It’s so homey and cozy and the view from the patio is amazing! Their coffee is very good too, and they have breakfast bagels and other pastries and snacks. The patio is also dog friendly.
