I was very impressed to find that Seaside is home to a small batch coffee roasting company, Acme Coffee. Their coffee is used all over Monterey but you can get coffee and beans right from their roasting factory. The staff is a bunch of guys who look like bikers and talk about rock music. They are very cool. With every purchase of coffee beans or ground, you get a free small cup of coffee. I always use the free cup to try a different blend for the next visit. We are totally addicted to their coffee. Their place is tucked away between DelMonte and Freemont. The best way to get in is to turn onto Broadway from DelMonte and make a quick right onto Contra Costa. Acme parking is fenced in an there is room for four to five cars. They are open from 0630-1600 Monday to Friday, and from 0700 to 1600 Saturdays. They are closed on Sundays. Their vibe is definitely to support local merchants. The only down side is that there isn't a lot of indoor seating. There are only a few lawn chairs out in the parking lot which doesn't make for a good view. However, the coffee is definitely worth it! Here is a map of how to get there from their website.
