“ A quaint little coffee shop for a quaint little town. San Juan Bautista is known for it's mission but this little gem has definitely made their presence known. With their cute little curb appeal of a floral decorated patio area equipped with a brick oven. You walk in and are met with the wonderful fragrance of coffee. Then you are welcomed by the barista's behind the counter. They offer a few items on their shelves from what seems like locals and small business owners. Anywhere from jams to beef jerky. We also noticed that a few of the art pieces that adorned the walls were for sale. I had their yummy iced lavender latte and my son had a iced matcha latte sweetened with some honey. We'll be back :-) ”

“ A mandatory stop in San Juan Bautista -- friendly service, strong coffee, and cozy vibes! Vertigo also has a great selection of food, pastries, and coffee beans, which they roast in house. I ordered a breakfast burrito, which was savory and filling, but a bit soggy. Overall, a solid local coffee shop worth checking out next time you're in the area! ”

“ Came here with my family after the San Juan Bautista Run in January. It was the perfect place to get some hot drinks after a cold morning run. There was a bit of a line but over all it was well worth it. ”

“ Excellent coffee with the added bonus of potentially seeing the coffee roasting process at work alongside the sitting area. The outdoor area was lovely, though on a winter day, we preferred indoors. There are also local beers, ciders, wines, tinned fish, and hot sauce for sale. If you were running late for a party, I bet there would be a gift that you could pick up here. ”

“ Interesting joint they've got here. Vendor out front selling their wares, a giant smoker their staff was managing that had wood fired pizzas, and an old rustic building. I feel bad we passed this place for our commute to Monterey or wherever without stopping by. This will become our regular stop on our way through. I ordered a White chocolate mocha latte w/oatmilk, plus salted caramel. Tasted great. I said if they had raspberry syrup & added it to this, they'd have themselves a Snow White! They apologized for not having that syrup in, but for some odd reason I had a hankering for one. I told the dude barista that the raspberry adds a hint of bitter to the intense sweet of the white chocolate to contrast the flavors, and note his interest is peaked! They have lots of seating, baked goods, fresh food, wine, and local goods. Definitely worth a stop by. ”

“ I am not from this area, and stumbled upon Vertigo Coffee. Upon entering, I realized there was an outdoors and indoors seating option. There are lights outdoors that would give the outside a lot of ambience if you come here after dark. I ordered the iced mocha coffee and really enjoyed the richness of the coffee and the slight sweetness of the mocha. The staff were very friendly and even opened the door for me! If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely come back with friends. ”

“ The pizza from Vertigo is one of the best in the area, including Hollister. My wife and I come at least every other week for our fix of their Green Flash pizza. But honestly, all of their pizza is delicious. You can't go wrong. Their chicken Bahn Mi is also great! The place is counter service, with a coffee bar fulfilling coffee drinks, but they also serve tap beer along with a fridge full of locally sourced canned beer - perfect for pairing with their pizza. My wife always gets their Micheladas which are absolutely fantastic! When we're in need of some beans, we pick up a bag of their freshly roasted coffee! If you're lucky, they're roasting in a day you go in - the aroma is intoxicating. They also have a cute garden area to eat in if the weathers nice. If in the area, vertigo is a must. Even if for just a cup of coffee. Great vibes. Great food. Great everything! ”

“ My new go to coffee shop as a recent Hollister resident. Vertigo is doing a lot right and that brings me back, truly wish I could give them 5 stars but we will come back to why I am not. The location is great and I love their outdoor garden and pop up markets. The coffee is fresh and their syrups are organic which makes a big difference. Their food also offers some great authentic pizzas and breakfast options--my favorite is the breakfast sandwich on the organic sourdough! My iced vanilla latte is always a treat and constantly made. So, with so much good why not 5 stars? The service when ordering can be cold and dry even as a regular customer which honestly doesn't sit right with me. There have honestly been times where my order was taken and I wasn't even greeted and this is kind of the vibe with most of the front staff unfortunately. I hope management reads this and addresses the lack of proper customer service etiquette. ”

“ We just happened upon this spot, as it was close to the hotel we were staying in. We really enjoyed our latte, Mexican mocha, and breakfast burritos. It's more than a coffee place too... lots of other interesting things to check out there. We got lucky, as today is Saturday, and there was a guy selling organic vegetables just outside their door. So breakfast lunch and dinner are all covered. we were not able to explore the little downtown area, which looks kind of cool, so next time we're heading up to the Monterey area will leave a little earlier and allow for some time in San Juan Bautista. Recommended! ”

“ Visited the small, beautiful town of San Juan Bautista and had the pleasure of trying out Vertigo Coffee Roasters. I had initially heard of them through trying one of their beans at a cafe in Mountain View. Oh how things come full circle! I loved the small town, communal feel of the place and liked their spacious outdoor seating arrangement in particular. I opted for their drip coffee since they don't do pour overs. They had their Worka Sakaro from Ethiopia. Solid drink! Would come back some time soon~ ”
