“What a gem! One might expect marginal coffee and pastries at the Shrine, as visitors don’t have much choice within walking distance. Not so!
I attended the 11:00am Mass and decided to try Shrine Coffee. Ordered a café au lait and almond croissant. Behold the croissant: over 6 inches in diameter and covered in tasty, fresh slivered almonds. Texture was excellent, the filling was generously portioned—and scrumptious. Almond flavour was wonderfully present in every bite. And the servers warmed it for me. I took 2/3 home. My coffee was a delicious roast with foamy, real, fresh milk, served in a generous, white cup with a saucer.
For this delicious treat, and tomorrow’s breakfast, I lovingly thank God, the Oblates and lovely staffers. Btw, the place was packed— so more than Mass attendees filled the seats outdoors and inside. Several had leashed dogs.
There’s also a gift shop adjacent where I bought two unique gifts. It had the loveliest attendant, the sweetest woman.
There are several benches around the statues in the adjacent garden, where I observed 14 bird species, including the lovely Hooded Oriole.
A 5-minute digression, directly across the street provided nice views of the pier, kelp beds, and the coast.“

“I don’t understand how an amazing coffee shop can, at there discretion, close there coffee shop at any time they want? Why would u treat loyal customers this way. Sometimes posted in Instagram, sometimes not. So inconsiderate of daily customers. Very disappointing to walk all the way there, excited for my greeting from the staff and my great latte, only to find a note on the door, closed at 11:30? How can u feel good about people showing up and not open and it isn’t even close to 3:00? Confusing to me how everything else but this one issue can be perfect?“

“It was such a lovely spot to take a quick break and have an iced soy latte, Vietnamese Iced Coffee, and yummy croissant sandwiches. When you're at UCSC and in the thick of hustle and bustle, take a 15-minute break to recharge your battery.“
“can’t speak to the food, but I got a yummy hot chocolate. barista was lovely, and I was able to sit at the nearby picnic table with my pup while my windshield was taken care of down the street. there’s a few places to sit, but this is definitely a “grab it and go” location“
“It's a place to meet the neighbors.“
“Enjoy chocolate undertones in your coffee bean? Check out the light roast Nicaraguan or the medium roast Moka Java shown in photo here.Staff here are always attentive and helpful. Get the benefits of coffee experts who can speak to the nuances in their beans. They have a great deal of expertise above what you would probably find in a coffee place staffed by students.Oh, and Java Bob's accepts Apple Pay!Pro tips: coffee is best when ground and served between three and 10 days after resting has completed. By small quantities regularly to retain the highest amount of flavor. That's one of the secrets the coffee shops make use of.“

“this place is nice design really cool. the staff can be really slow when is a lot of peoples. i completely understand that you take time when is not to much peoples in the shop but when is full of peoples try to work little bit faster. Not a turn down but if a manager see this review i hope they will train them little bit better. the quality of the coffee is great.“

“Delicious donut. First time trying the cinn flavor. The service was ok, not sure the reason for slamming my donut on the counter. Other than that wierdness, Donut was fresh.
They do accept cards with a .25 fee. No minumum purchase required. Paid $3.25 for the cinnamon cronut donut. I appreciate that as a single purchaser.
Plenty of parking available in the morning“
