They emphasize organic coffee and roast all their own beans in mid-Carmel Valley. The espresso head honchos over at CVCRC have trained their baristas to craft a mighty fine cuppa, but they also have the business acumen to set up shop in primo locations that would make the coffee barons over at Starbucks HQ steam with a bit of real estate envy. With coffeehouses in downtown Monterey, P.G. and all over Carmel, it’s easy to find a good spot to camp out with a latte and the latest edition of your favorite weekly newspaper. The brand extends beyond its five bricks-and-mortar locations as well, offering its certified organic coffee at a slew of retail locations around Monterey County.
