My new favorite little coffee shop in the world. Friendly staff and locals and the best cup of coffee I've had in a while. Thank you Plank Coffee!

Yeah - five stars across the board. I did think about being careless with praise here - I feel justified. I ordered a breve latte and a stand-alone shot of espresso - so I could taste the core product. I watched the barista at work and noted her professionalism in puck preparation. The resulting espresso was creamy and was timed to capture the sweetness without the bitter flat taste of an extended pull. Even though latte art does not contribute to the taste of a latte, it inspires the idea of something delicious, and demonstrates the honed abilities of the barista. The resulting latte impressed me with a caramelization of honey, plum, and a hint of grapefruit in the finish - revealing a blend of arabica and probably at least some Colombian beans.
Weather helped us enjoy the outdoor seating - where a helpful staff member followed us with our drinks on a tray. The atmosphere was kitschy, quiet, and clean.

I love this place. Great BLAT (vegan bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato) sandwich. Had a yummy muffin for dessert. Had tea and also bought a tin of tea to go. All the servers are friendly and the entire place was immaculate. Ate outside in the rain at the covered picnic tables. Always make it a point to stop here for lunch when I am traveling in the area.

Great, great espresso, breakfast and baked goods! The baristas know what they are about and this is not always a given. Great service and the cakes and goodies are to die for! A must stop by on your way north or south off 101...
