Our Story

Born on Cannery Row, built on craft

Candy Row opened in 2019 with a simple conviction: that the best moments happen slowly — a perfectly extracted espresso, a conversation that lingers, a cocktail that makes you forget the time.

We source single-origin beans from small roasters in the Pacific Northwest and mix our spirits with the same intentionality. Our pastry case features local bakers; our wine list highlights California vineyards. Everything here is chosen, not stocked.

7 Years on Cannery Row
12 Single-origin roasters
36 Craft cocktails on rotation
Warm, minimalist café interior with natural light and wooden counters
