About This Place

Pacific Coffee Roasting Co, nestled in the heart of Aptos, CA, is far more than your typical neighborhood cafe—it’s a welcoming haven for coffee lovers and food enthusiasts alike. This exceptional spot prides itself on roasting every coffee bean in-house, bringing an artisanal touch to each cup. Whether you’re craving a velvety oat milk cappuccino, a deeply rich cold brew, or their unique Latte Orange Cinnamon, the passion for quality and craft truly shines through every sip.

The menu is a delightful balance of comforting classics and inventive delights. Imagine sinking your teeth into a freshly baked bagel, fluffy and tender, crowned with savory egg and cheese or house-made spreads; or savoring a luscious blueberry scone paired perfectly with the smooth tang of lemon curd. For those seeking something lighter and vibrant, the açai bowls burst with fresh, fruity goodness, while wraps like the Chicken Caesar and Turkey Club offer hearty, satisfying bites. Don’t miss their affogato for a sweet, indulgent coffee dessert experience or a warming cup of their Apricot Loose Leaf Tea, which provides a fragrant, soothing escape from the everyday.

Stepping into Pacific Coffee Roasting Co feels like entering a cozy community hub where craftsmanship meets comfort. The aromas of fresh-roasted coffee beans mingle with the scent of warm pastries, creating an irresistible invitation. Customers frequently praise the friendly and knowledgeable staff, who take the time to explain their unique sourdough starter pastries and accommodate even the most particular requests, such as expertly frothed oat milk cappuccinos. Although the pace can sometimes slow during busy moments, many guests appreciate the dedication to quality over speed.

Real customer experiences underscore the exceptional qualities of this cafe. April Kramer-Hladik was impressed by the owner’s personal approach and the delicious cinnamon roll and bunt cake, noting the unique sourdough element behind many pastries. TG’s appreciation for the perfectly crafted oat milk cappuccinos captures the care that goes into each drink. Lucas Litwin’s enthusiasm about the soft bagels and apricot almond scones echoes many patrons’ delight at finding such standout baked goods. Perhaps most compelling are the glowing endorsements for Pacific Coffee’s gluten-free offerings—sensational gluten-free bagel sandwiches paired with outstanding mocha espresso, as shared by CG and Katie Spieler, who described their experiences as the “best gluten free bagel I’ve ever had” and awarded the stop a perfect 11/10 for quality and service.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Pacific Coffee Roasting Co invites you to slow down and savor the moment. Every bite and sip is a testament to genuine craftsmanship and heartfelt hospitality, making it far more than just a place to grab coffee—it’s an experience to be relished repeatedly.

    We were met by the owner who explained many of the pastries were made with a sourdough starter. Being new to the place I had a few questions unfortunately the cashier was impatient and didn’t thank us for our business. We tried the cinnamon roll, bunt cake and coffee all were delicious.

    They know what they are doing! Our barista took a while to get us the oat milk cappuccinos but it was so frothy and well done. I appreciated her taking the time and enjoyed the coffee.

    The best treat for a Sunday morning! We were on a roadtrip and hit the lottery with this stop. Hands down the best gluten free bagel I’ve ever had and yummy coffee. 11/10, couldn’t recommend more! Incredible service and the friendliest vibes :) thank you!!!

    I see why people are lined up outside the door. They make really good coffee, and more than just make a tasty cup of coffee. They actually roast the beans right there--the bags of beans are on the floor to the right as you enter, and their roasting machine is across from the beans. It doesn't stop there. They have a case of sweet treats. I had a chocolate macaroon that was quite tasty. The staff is friendly. They have tables inside and out. The tables outside have umbrellas for shade. There is plenty of room to bring your friends. One more thing I really like is you can buy the coffee they roast. I am enjoying a cup of dark roast Columbian coffee and a chocolate macaroon while soaking up the rays at Pacific Coffee Roasting Co. I love the beauty that the owner cultivates in this space!

    Support small businesses! This is our go-to for freshly roasted coffee beans. We enjoy the lovely patio, too.

    Nice and relax setting. Good fresh coffee but no latte art. There are some breakfast pastries to grab and go. We ordered latte and a mocha tea and they were both good.
