Hipsters rejoice! A cool, hip, quality coffee shop! First time here and it was packed with people! We had a lot of people too, but the service was fast and everything looked so good. The white mochas, lattes, hot chocolate and pastries- everything was solid.

The location looks like an auto garage transformed into a hipster hangout. I believe the store is veteran-owned and that’s awesome. The baristas look like they enjoy being there and it’s a really nice and chill vibe.

Don’t think you will be disappointed! Except if you dislike long lines! Enjoy!

Just trying various spots on my trip, Acme definitely appeared to be one of the highly anticipated spots to check out. Unfortunately, the macchiato I ordered was sour (maybe under-extracted? Unsure). The latte my girlfriend ordered was overpowered with the milk with the slight hint of espresso. I believe in giving a coffee shop second chances so I hope to have a different opinion on the next stop because the design is really fun, the baristas were professional / nice, and I like seeing all the locals hanging out picking up their favorite drink. On that note alone, clearly they’re doing something right.

Ordered an Americano. They roasted their own coffee beans instead of buying roasted coffee beans somewhere. So the coffee tasted the unique flavor of their own and I liked the flavor.

There are plenty of places to grab coffee along the Monterey Peninsula, but few compare to Acme Coffee Roasting Company in Seaside. For me, this spot isn’t just about caffeine it’s about how I like to start my day, set my tone, and plug into a community that feels like home. Whenever I’m in town, Acme is my go-to stop, and it has easily become my favorite coffee shop in the area.

My mornings at Acme usually begin with one thing: a Vietnamese iced coffee. Strong, sweet, and perfectly balanced, it’s exactly the pick-me-up I need to jumpstart the day. There’s something about the way they prepare it that just hits different the smoothness of the coffee combined with the richness of the condensed milk, poured over ice so it’s cold and refreshing without losing any boldness. It’s a drink that wakes you up but also feels indulgent, like a small reward to start the morning right. After trying Vietnamese iced coffees elsewhere, I can say Acme’s version is one of the best I’ve had. It has quickly become my ritual, the thing I look forward to when I know I’ve got a busy day ahead.

But what makes Acme more than just a coffee stop is the service and the people. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by staff who genuinely care about the product they’re serving and the customers they’re serving it to. They know their regulars, they’re quick with a smile or a friendly hello, and they move with a kind of efficiency that makes the line go quickly without ever making you feel rushed. It’s clear they love what they do, and that energy carries over into how you feel as a customer.

The vibe inside Acme is another thing that keeps me coming back. It’s casual, unpretentious, and filled with the aroma of freshly roasted beans that makes you want to linger just a little longer than you planned. The décor is simple and functional, but that’s what makes it feel authentic this isn’t a place that needs to dress itself up with gimmicks. The coffee speaks for itself, and the environment invites you to slow down and enjoy it. Whether you’re grabbing a cup to go or sitting down for a while, it feels comfortable and real.

And then there’s the community. Acme is more than a coffee shop; it’s a gathering spot. On any given morning, you’ll see locals catching up with friends, students working on assignments, and travelers discovering the place for the first time. There’s an energy in the air that reminds you why small businesses matter so much. Acme doesn’t just sell coffee it builds connections. It’s a place where you feel a part of something bigger than yourself, even if it’s just for a few minutes before you head off to work or school.

What I love most is that Acme has managed to balance being a neighborhood staple while also being welcoming to newcomers. Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, you feel the same sense of inclusion. That’s a rare thing, and it’s what makes Acme stand out in a crowded coffee scene.

At the end of the day, Acme Coffee Roasting Company isn’t just my favorite coffee spot in Seaside it’s part of my daily rhythm. The Vietnamese iced coffee fuels me, the service lifts me, the vibe calms me, and the community connects me. It’s everything I want in a coffee shop rolled into one. If you’re ever in Seaside, do yourself a favor and stop by. For me, it’s not just coffee it’s how I start my day on the right note.

I tried the Vietnamese hot coffee at Acme Coffee Roasting and it was really good. It had a rich flavor and the perfect sweetness, and honestly, it was the best way to start my morning. Definitely worth a visit!

This is a special place. They take their time to make perfect cups of coffee. It’s not pretentious about it at all, either. You can go as fancy or as basic as you want. Every cup will be given the same level of artisanal care. Less a coffee house, more a place to remember the joy of drinking coffee outside of its mundane role as a motivator in our lives. Truly, an excellent cup of coffee.

I’ll start out and say I’m a gourmet coffee shop geek. Had an espresso drink… it said medium roast but I found it to be slightly over roasted. Cool vibe but not the warmest of service experience. Just counter service so just outside seating (limited) or grab and go. Overall, decent coffee but far from elevated.

Acme Coffee is absolutely amazing! Huge shout out to Alexis – She is awesome! Two days in a row she gave us the best drink recommendations and even tipped us off to some great local hikes. The coffee here is excellent, and their chai deserves a special mention. It is unsweetened, made in-house, and honestly one of the best I have ever had.

I do not usually go back to the same coffee shop twice when traveling, but Acme won me over. The vibe, the service, and the quality are just that good. They also have a fun selection of chocolates and plenty of gluten-free baked goods if you want something in the morning. Highly recommend stopping by!

Acme makes the best coffee on the planet! If you like coffee this is where you go. Service is polite and efficient. I think they know their coffee is just fantastic, stunning, brilliant. Atmosphere is city rustic but its irrelevant – plenty of parking. There can be a line but it’s always always worth the wait!

Brought here by the reviews and online reputation that this is the best coffee in Monterey. We were highly anticipating the taste and flavor of this coffee from a local roaster, however, when we actually tried the coffee it tasted burnt and lacked a deep flavor profile.

We ordered an espresso and flat white (it was served as a latte size), both fell short based off flavor alone. If you’re an espresso lover that’s looking for a complex flavor profile in your coffee, we couldn’t find that here. The advertised fruity or nutty notes from the beans were non existent in our orders. In fact we didn’t finish our drinks. We’ve never tried the roasted beans that you can buy, so we can’t say the coffee itself is bad.

This is a pick up and take away place, just having a small stand up counter. They also sell baked goods like donuts and jarred cold brew.

All in all, wouldn’t recommend.
