Ultramat Laundromat Cafe Cafe • $$
501 Laurel Street, Santa Cruz - 10.43 miles

“This is my wife and I’s favorite local laundromat. We love coming here because it’s clean and well maintained. They take quarters and they have a coin machine. They also have an ATM if you forget to bring your cash. There’s only 2 downsides that don’t make it a complete 5/5 review for me and it’s that the parking lot spaces are pretty tight. So if someone’s bad at parking, then good luck trying to open your doors. There’s usually always a homeless person wondering inside using the bathroom for a half hour. Which is fine it doesn’t bother me but something to be mentioned. Other than those two factors I love it here! A plus is having a market next door if you want a snack while you wait or grab a bite at the taqueria across the street.“

“I was in town with my daughter for college visits and came across this restaurant in Santa Cruz via google maps. We went on a Sunday morning and were seated immediately after ordering, and the food arrived very quickly. We ordered vegan versions of a couple of their menu items and they were VERY good. Lots of flavor, not heavy sitting. We liked it so much we went back the following morning for breakfast before we took off to another state for another college visit. There were still more vegan items I would have liked to try on their menu. Definitely recommend this quaint little restaurant. Vegan friendly, but also good choices for omnis too.“

“Open early is a plus. (5:30am as of July 2026) Friendly staff but coffee recommendation was okay not great. Ordered extra hot but was about normal and not as strong as I like.

Would have purchased food but when I asked what they had at the walk up window they didn't offer a menu or suggestions.

Cute place, best for drive through. Seating area is limited with bench perimeter and small tables. Very cute.

Located in the Whole Foods Market Parking lot. No bathrooms available.

Might give it another shot but for espresso I favor other coffee spots that open later.“

“Good place to grab a coffee only steps away from the beach. They offer fun and inventive coffees, such as thin mint and raspberry truffle mochas, alongside everything else you'd expect. In addition to coffee, they offer bagels, pastries, and other snacks. The staff are friendly, and the drinks are good, but I did have an issue when my mocha wasn't stirred, as well as my friend's on one of the visits. Overall, it's a good place to grab a coffee, and the location is unbeatable.“

“Love coming here for their crepes! I’ve loved their crepes so much it’s been hard to try anything else on the menu. Their savory and sweet crepes are both great. You order at the register, and then they’ll bring the food to where you sit. It’s a very charming place with a little bit of indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, not a ton of seating space but it’s not super difficult to grab a table. Parking lot is also on the smaller side but you can also park anywhere in downtown and walk. Staff is friendly and the place is clean. Highly recommend!“
