I’ve been coming to Groovy Goose since the day they first opened, and they never cease to amaze me. Even with two Starbucks nearby, it’s clear why this shop continues to thrive—it’s all about the vibes, the lovely people, and the incredible quality of the coffee.
Every time I walk in, I’m greeted by a friendly cashier, and the baristas are so kind; they always take a moment to ask how my day is going, even when they’re slammed. Most importantly, the consistency is unmatched. My order has never been wrong, and it tastes exactly the same every single time.
My absolute go-tos:
The Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Croissant: The portion size is perfect and very satisfying.
Jam & Butter Toast: Never disappoints and is surprisingly filling!
Caramel Iced Latte with Oat Milk: As someone who can’t have dairy, I appreciate that this is always consistent and delicious.
Vanilla Bean Rose Latte (Iced): This is a seasonal must-try! It’s so good I’ve actually gone back two days in a row just to get it.

Popped into this coffee shop for a light lunch. I have to say, the pesto sandwich was absolutely yummy! Fresh ingredients and great flavor, definitely a win. However, the strawberry matcha fell a little below par; it lacked the vibrant flavor I was hoping for. I’d highly recommend sticking to the food items, especially the sandwiches, for a reliable, tasty experience here!

This a gem for the locals in San Carlos. If I lived here it would be my coffee shop. Clean professional atmosphere with a high end vibration. I ordered a cortado with whole milk and a single shot. The espresso was pulled perfectly and the foam was on point. My drink had a lotus design on the pour. The milk was steamed to perfect sweetness and the coffee was sweet and delicious. The mark of a good coffee shop is how they can make a cappuccino style drink. I’m blown away and would recommend any coffee drinker to come here especially if you’re into a quality cup. Thanks to the baristas for running this spot so well

Coffee was excellent here , the food didn’t really make an impression on me . The pesto egg biscuit even though the inside was good the bread itself was terrible. It crumbled apart while eating not the best when eating and driving . Would come back to try more drinks

Great little place, there are 3 tables outside and 3 inside. You can stay or walk around the area since there are plenty of stores to do some window shopping. I tried the cappuccino and it was very enjoyable and flavorful. They have optifions like lavender or hazelnut to add to your coffee, and the menu includes smoothies and some food items. Overall is a good place to get some coffee.

My FAVORITE coffee shop by far. Cutest interior, the vibes are so good. I love their lattes and seasonal flavors (hazelnut and lavender are both SO good). The acai bowls, coffee, and baked goods are all top notch delicious. Baristas are so nice and friendly, perfect coffee spot.

Excellent coffee as always. I have been in here hundreds of times (I have been living in SC for three years this is my local). Today I had the scrambled egg + avo on toast and it caused my stomach some upset (I know it was this because I ate nothing else all day). I made my order at 9am on Fri Jan 2 so who ever was prepping food that day may have made an error. I have eaten here countless times – usually I order the egg/sausage sandwich or the High Roller. I will continue to come for the coffee but now a bit wary about the food, sorry!

We looooove the Groovy Goose!!! Finally an alternative to the big chains. Their coffee is WAY better, their pastries are amazing and fresh and locally made, and their prices are great! Not to mention they have a reward system and after just a few weeks, I received $5 off of my purchase today– can’t beat that!
I’ve had iced lattes, hot lattes, and cold brew. The cold brew is a slightly lighter roast than I usually prefer but everyone has different tastes and it was still very good! They use my favorite oat milk from Califia. I’ve tried the scones, the butter croissant, the gluten free banana muffin, and the prosciutto sandwich on a delicious baguette. All so good!!
The owners are San Carlos locals, and they’re such great people! The entire staff is lovely, welcoming and helpful.
Skip the lame chains and check them out for sure! It has the coolest vibe and decor, LOVE the roll up door and the benches!
Thank you everyone at Groovy Goose!!

Yay! A local cafe that offers excellent espresso drinks in a very cute indoor/outdoor setting. The breakfast sandwich here was also delicious and tasted like a fancy, elevated version of a McDonald’s breakfast biscuit.
