Clocktower Coffee Roasting Company
Inside Clocktower Coffee Roasting Company
Clocktower Coffee Roasting Company sits quietly on a corner of Mountain View’s East Middlefield Road, offering more than just your everyday cup of coffee. This is a café built around the craft of coffee roasting, where the smell of fresh beans roasting fills the air and draws in a steady stream of regulars and curious passersby alike.
The atmosphere inside leans toward calm and purposeful, with a spacious area dedicated to working or studying – a clear nod to the neighborhood’s tech crowd and remote workers. Expect a clean, friendly environment where you can settle in with your laptop, sip thoughtfully crafted espresso, or try something a little different like their Zebra Cold Brew Latte or the rather unique Spring Lavender Latte. The seating is somewhat limited, so mornings and early afternoons are the best times to secure a spot without feeling rushed.
Local coffee enthusiasts appreciate Clocktower’s commitment to daily or every-other-day roasting, which means the beans maintain their freshness and complexity. The owner’s passion for roasting is evident not just in the aroma, but in the quality of their drip coffees and cold brews – particularly the Brazil drip that regulars swear by. For those who enjoy a flavored coffee, the menu offers a range of options from butterscotch and caramel pecan lattes to more seasonal selections like pumpkin spice white mocha, catering well to those looking for a sweet or creative twist.
Beyond coffee, the café’s selection of pastries and light bites pairs well with the drinks. The sesame bagel with cream cheese, almond croissant, and various muffins offer a satisfying complement to your brew without overwhelming the palate.
One subtle but practical perk is the location’s place within a quiet, walkable neighborhood with an EV charging station nearby – a detail that resonates with eco-conscious visitors. The café also features a small micro-market area with souvenirs, adding a community feel that makes it more than just a grab-and-go stop.
Clocktower Coffee Roasting Company is best suited for anyone who values fresh, thoughtfully roasted coffee, a relaxed vibe to work or chat, and a sense of connection to local coffee culture. Whether you’re a regular stocking up on beans for home or someone dropping in to enjoy a unique latte, this spot rewards the visitor looking for a calm, quality-driven coffee experience away from bigger commercial chains.
