Located upstairs in a quaint Adobe-style building at 231 Esplanade #100, this cozy coffee haven welcomes visitors with open arms and an inviting ambiance that instantly feels like a second home.

Step inside and you’re greeted by an intimate atmosphere where the chatter of locals blends seamlessly with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

Mr Toots Coffeehouse prides itself on an impressive, creatively curated menu that delights with both classic and signature offerings. From the velvety embrace of their Hot Chocolate and expertly crafted Cappuccinos to the robust kick of an Espresso or smooth Mocha Coffee, each cup tells a story of expert barista craftsmanship.

These unique blends showcase a playful yet refined touch, setting Mr Toots apart from typical coffeehouses.

Pair your brew with one of their mouthwatering pastries—think buttery delights like Banana Nut Bread, tender Cheesecake, or the ever-popular Raspberry Dream Bars. The fresh-baked Quiche and hearty Tortilla Soup offer savory options that perfectly complement the sweet treats, catering to a well-rounded coffeehouse experience.

    Definitely a vibe! A narrow staircase leads you up a cute Adobe style building to the second level where you are greeted by a coffee shop from the past. And by this I mean a cool vibing coffee shop with books a cozy couch locals talking the Baristas being loud and overall great time! Great local Vibes and the view off to the left is spectacular ...of the Venetian hotels along with the Pacific coast. Now to the coffee, I had an iced coffee and it was delicious! I also had an order of their cheesecake because I overheard them say It just arrived and it was fresh silky and absolutely delicious! The crust was perfectly sweetened and I could tell it was homemade. The decor is inviting without pretentiousness... the coffee is great desserts amazing overall fun place to hang out be sure to set aside enough time to wait for other patrons leaving the outside seating area because it's really small are you going to have to wait for people to leave so you can get out there and catch a view there's o nly three tables

    Only one person was interacting with us and he was absolutely lovely. He took our order with such kindness, made us a great coffee, and even warmed up our almond danish for us. We really enjoyed our time there

    It's a lovely place with warm welcoming staff. I went there several times and never feel bored. The ambiance and atmosphere is special. There's a balcony facing the beach. Coffee and pastry are amazing and they always have something special for the season. Highly recommended . I love this place and welcoming staff

    I have been a long-time customer since 1982. I come here from Silicon Valley for the calming and picturesque setting. The coffee is great, and the view is stunning. My adult children also visit because they grew up coming here with me. As you can probably tell, it’s one of my favorite places.

    They do have some small gluten free items in the bakery cabinet. Coffee is good, staff is nice, atmosphere is chill. Plenty to look at while enjoying some Joe. Don’t let the hidden stair car/ entryway scare you away from this hidden gem. The seating is limited, but the view is worth it.
