The owner is incredibly rude. She buys everything for the cafe at Safeway. meat, cheese and bagels everything you could think of. She would treat me like I was less then her And would complain to my mangers and Bring up in a pretentious way that she owns a business in Aptos so she should be treated with the most respect. She’s in her 70s way too grown to be acting like a mean girl.

Nice pastries paired with great coffee! I love getting a latte here then just walking around the area and enjoying what it has to offer. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and I have always enjoyed the coffee that I get there. They have some fun and quirky signs, and the staff are friendly! A great alternative to some of the bigger local chains, while still keeping its local charm.

Espresso tastes burnt. Mediocre service. Croissant bad and 5$. Lemon cake not good. Sneaky charge 25cents for cups with no house cup alternative. Mistake to come here.

Hate to throw down that 3 star on food but I'm honest to a fault and gotta keep it real. I will start with the positives as I'm habitually optimistic. The coffee was delicious! Hot, strong and robust with light and dark roast options. The Almond bear claw was FIRE! Straight up phenomenal 🤍 The breakfast croissant had so much promises but it missed the mark on every front unfortunately. Burnt ham, flat moist croissant, inedible egg microwaved into oblivion. Probably just over cooked it a couple minutes but dang if it wasn't disappointing. Crazy part, I'd order it again to see...

It's always a pleasure to visit this coffee shop. Love the smoothies and Fraps, and the pastries are super yummy too ?
The coffee is the best in Aptos Village. Everything fresh baked everyday! The chocolate croissant is delicious!

I've lived in Aptos for more than 40 years, & I never knew this place was here! But with prices through the roof at most coffee chains - I am happily surprised to have found this GEM. Service is out of this world, they have a beautiful selection of teas! The prices are fair, & the coffee is good! It's strong enough, & I am so happy to have found this place! I will be going back often - already have been back 3 times since I found it this month 7/2024!! So stoked, check it out!

Great place for a coffee or a smoothie. Pastries were the best! Barrista was as cool as a barrista should be.

Everything is made with love, you can’t go wrong. Some of my faves are the muffins and burritos. Try the Carrot muffins! Coffee is great too!
