Nice Triptyc; though I don't know if I'd make it a destination JUST for the coffee. You have had Peet's in the Bay Area since 1966 & they do make the best coffee ever. The view from the terrace at Coffee Kevah below Nepenthe would make up for anything but the worst swill, if thats what they served; and they don't. Its good coffee, I'm just a Bay Area transplant & I'm partial to Peet's.
If you're down here again, I would recommend Carmel Valley Road. It goes from Hwy 1 to 10 1 & has a little bit of everything when it comes to road surfaces. Interesting road & beautiful country. A Hypermotard would be perfect there!
Then there's Hwy 25 going South out of Hollister. GREAT ride! There's a loong straight stretch where you can safely see how fast you can really go w/o any cops or anything else to get in the way. After that are some of the best twisties & sweepers you will find anywhere in Central CA. Both of these roads can be made into a nice getaway weekend !
Both
