ACME Coffee Roasting Company, Seaside

Acme Coffee is not a dainty place, yet I drove past it for two years to and from work without knowing it was there. With its "Fight Corporate Coffee" slogan it is one of the best examples of a localite find. Acme Coffee has a history with the former Morgan's Coffee, and if you are interested in knowing more, just ask around or read the brochure available on the counter. Despite the past which created Acme Coffee, the present is a local favorite that plies locals with strong morning joe in a setting with an automotive/industrial theme. Acme Coffee is featured at other local business such as Earthbound Organic Farms and the Big Sur Bakery.  There are no leather chairs and gentle jazz playing here. However, in a nod to aesthetics and ambiance there is a pretty row garden for clients' pleasure (if not that of their pets).
