The Last Drop Café is located on the trendy Harvard Avenue in the Historic District section of Claremont. It is a small New York City-style coffee shop, offering soups, salads and sandwiches in addition to the coffee drinks.
It prepares the usual coffee house drinks as well as fruit juices, tea and soft drinks. It also offers catering events for which it will bring large platters of almost anything from the menu. There are a few tables inside the small space, but most enjoy sitting at the tables that are set-up outside on the sidewalk. Others simply get orders to go. It's close to all of the colleges and dorms, making it popular with local students and professionals who work in the area.
A local hangout that has morphed into a tourist destination, Flying Goat Coffee also has a more unassuming spot down the street where a lot of locals now go to receive their morning boost and local news. Now with three retail locations (one in Santa Rosa) and a growing wholesale operation, the small, friendly atmosphere has not been lost mostly due to the impecciable service. Flying Goat sources sustainably farmed coffee from around the world.
The Coffee Bean has been offering coffee at its family-run store since 1963. The inside is decorated in a homestyle, wooden theme.
