I've driven by Coffee Time countless times, but I had never had a reason to stop here. I usually do my coffee-drinking at Zocalo, and I rarely hang out in the Marina area. However, today I went to lunch with my friend Aamani to Zen's Filipino Cuisine and we wanted to get a coffee, in lieu of dessert, afterwards. So Coffee Time it was.
Coffee Time is a very small coffee shop. Inside there is barely space for a counter, a tiny kitchen and a few knick knacks. The place has character, however, like something you'd find in a beach town. There are three or four tables in a small covered patio outside, right next to the parking lot. It's a very relaxing place to seat in a sunny afternoon - even when you get to witness a police arrest (they did it very quietly).
I didn't ask Aamani how her iced coffee was. My peanut butter chocolate drink was mostly air, but it was refreshing enough. Not sure if I'd order it again. But if I lived in the neighborhood, I'd definitely frequent the place.
They serve a variety of sandwiches for lunch, perhaps one day I'll give them a try.
