What customers say

Very good coffee stop with plenty of good staff along with a pretty good crowd of nice people. The big thing for me was that they are 100% dog friendly inside and outside of the shop seating. This coffee shop is very clean and maintained with more than enough selections of coffee, teas, in every drink in between.

★★★★☆ — Reg, 2024-06

Full-bodied coffee, nice gathering place or study space (4/5 green stars) I bought their Sweet Italian blend (certified Fair Trade and organic) at Whole Foods and loved it, so I was excited to try them out. First impression – the woman at the counter was ice-cold, almost hostile.

★★★★☆ — James, 2017-08

A nice coffee place as well as they sell their roasts. They selecrion of their coffee (beans) are quite wide. They have single origins as well as blends. Service was attentive. I got answers for the beanse they were selling. And, got enough time to decide prior to purchase

★★★★★ — Amir, 2024-09

This is the best cup of coffee in town!! Their dark roasts are especially unique and delicious. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is so relaxed. Being right in the heart of beautiful downtown Santa Cruz, this place has a certain character and charm unlike anywhere else.
