Miriam’s Cafe

You can read about my experiences at Miriam’s at the other review page – if it still exists, because Miriam’s is CLOSED.

After eating my way through America, I had gotten so used to mayonnaise, ketchup and French fries, I actually forgot how delicious a piece of good bread with avocado, tomato and pepper can be!
Mariam’s café is a great little café — very well hidden in the awful turist trap they call Monterey. The friendly hostess makes you feel like part of a happening life, you never thought would exit in a place like this.
And a sandwich doesn’t have to be fancy in order to be good. Friendly service, good ingredients and a low price is really all it takes.

Cozily tucked away in between the Bulldog and the launderette on Lighthouse, Mariam’s Café serves coffee’s, mocha’s, espressos and other various drinks freshly made. More often than not, Mariam is working and is always ready for a friendly chat about the weeks events, or what happened last night.
There are an assortment of bagels, muffins and other baked goods for purchase. Usually every morning before class I stop in and get my morning coffee and she freshly toasts a bagel for me.
This place is great for sitting down and enjoying a morning coffee and read the local paper, or stopping by like me and getting it to go. Prices are decent, atmosphere is pleasant, drinks are deliciously made, and to top it all of its locally owned. Support local business and stop by for a drink, or do like me and grab yours to go on your way to work or school.
