What customers say

One of my favorite cafes in the Bay Area! This Santa Cruz staple features amazing coffee, stellar food, great vibes, and a super friendly team. I dropped by for brunch during a weekend beach trip, and I was blown away by how good everything was.

Simply the best. A lot of thought goes into the roasting of the beans. The coffee is top shelf. This is not Starbucks. This is the real deal. Holyfield! The food is top shelf as well. They also allow furry friends.

★★★★★ — Michael, 2026-04

The coffee shop has amazing coffee. They also have great coffee beans for sale. Inside the cafe there’s a bar that serves up adult beverages if you want non coffee drinks

★★★★★ — Michael, 2026-06

You want food -get there. You want just coffee -go elsewhere. Very crowded on weekends. The wait between ordering the coffee (after standing in line), and getting it in hand is long and is the buzzkill. It was uncomfortable to wait for morning caffeine.
