“Mmmmm! This awesome young lady named CHONTELL made me the best caramel frappe ever! This is the best purchase, so worth the price! Im definitely going back, and taking the family! She was so sweet and had 5 star customer service skills! I encourage a raise, Shes good for business at Freedom Safeway starbucks!“
“Phenomenal coffee shop! The people working here were so kind and helpful! The coffee was equally as incredible! The aesthetic inside was also adorable. Our favorite drink was the golden hour if anyone needs a suggestion :) We were visiting from out of town and definitely would return here if ever back in Northern Cali! Highly recommend!“
“A cafe with a converted warehouse-type feel. There's enough open doorways that it seems as if you are outdoors when you are indoors. As the name implies, there's a loft that looks over the first floor, though the regulars are eager to take the seats up there. The staff are friendly, and if you're into unusual syrups, they have things like rose and cardamom.Parking: The Loft is adjacent to one of the Cabrillo College parking lots. If you're using Google Maps, it might say you've reached your destination just as you see the entrance to the Cabrillo lot, which is not free and requires a permit to stay in. You should find that the parking lot for the Loft is hugging the side of the building.“
“Stopping on the way from the Bay area to Big Surr, this place was perfect. My partner needed a place to take a work call, and though it was a bit too loud for that, the atmosphere was awesome. We didn't end up getting any coffee, but I bought a bottle of wine - the shop has it's own in-house sommelier! The food looked great, but can't comment personally on that. My main take away was: cool vibe, lots of purchasing options, fun plants & decor, and cool employees: the barista even commented on the book I was reading, The Pearl! *SPOILER* I will say, the barista did say it was a lighter book for Steinbeck, but a baby gets poisoned in the first 3 pages! What! Anyway, you should go here!“
“We started to come for coffee and ended upHaving the wonderful tasty homemade soups they are offering. Every single choice on the menu is healthy and tasty. Coffee is very good also. What a wonderful hidden gem coffee shop with a great atmosphere and service. Definitely must visit.“
“Lovely spot to pop in w the pupper. Great place to get sunshine and good vibes. Coffee is nice. I ordered an almond croissant. I paid almost 12$ for two of them and I wouldn’t order it again. Although almond croissants are my favorite I guess I’m spoiled. It wasn’t very fresh tasting. Had a tasty cappuccino though and staff was lovely and I like the large industrial space w pops of color and plants.Parking: Busy full parking but convenient if there’s space available. I’m here at noon on a Tuesday and it’s full.“
“I’m not a coffee drinker but have to say their bagel with egg is the best. The egg is light and fluffy and you can add several options. It’s always cooked to order and hot. This place has become my go-to breakfast place. The oatmeal is also pretty good.“
“HERBCo has a wonderful selection of herbs,spices, & teas, ethically sourced from around the world. They sell kosher and organic varieties. I love their organic Jasmine green tea, the black lava finishing salt. Ever my favorites the organic granulated garlic, and organic onion powder are wonderful. They also provide educational reading material on the source and uses for every item they sell, which is an added bonus“
“I love the staff and always find coffee great. My only complaint is the bathroom and this is for all new locations; it’s nasty! No sinks and you must touch the door with your dirty hands to get out to use the sink. Eww. How did this pass Starbucks? Anyway, great team at this store.“
“What a lovely deli! The sandwiches were great! We hada real variety: bacon for 1, pastrami for another, vegetarian caprese for a third, and I had Italian meatball. A variety of pasta salads, too! The staff kindly set up the outdoor seating for us, cleaning the tables and drying chairs-- and Mother Nature obliged with some warm March sunshine! Lovely place to enjoy with friends! ❤“
“Love it, so yummy! Went here a bunch when we first moved to this side of town, then got a little burnt out. Been going again for the last few months, and really happy with it. The La Mañana with spinach and basil is great. I like to add House Spread (flavored mayo?), and sweet jalapeños. The Patch Burrito, Morning Wrap (similar but more veggies), and Hot Messy Pastrami are all great. My mom loves the turkey and avocado sandwich. The Deviled Eggs are on point, great value. (it's just a single half, but it's piled high with filling!)The drinks are legit, too. Sometimes I'll get a banana bread slice for dessert. ?“
“Was excited to come here for my first visit. I came after I read that they had some gluten free options. I was happy to find out the indeed did. Not many- but some. I had an egg frittata(gf) tea and a brownie(gf). It was all wonderful. The folks that work there were kind and helpful. I appreciate the atmosphere and there attention to using earth friendly items. I will definitely be back.“
“Fabulous place for coffee, Tea, delicious pastries and such a nice ambiance with a friendly staff. Come and say hello to the owner Cathy. We are from Whittier, California and we would love a place like this in our area. We always try to support the independent owners.“
“Absolutely obsessed with everything Coffeol has to offer. My first experience with Emerson and his father was perfection. They drove out of their way (after delivering throughout Santa Cruz County) to do a sample drop off at my home. My husband and I own a cafe and catering company and believe in customer service and the stars aligned when we met them. They have been wonderful. No matter what we need they go above and beyond. The best part is, their product is top notch. We are not sacrificing customer service for taste in anyway. Emersons blend and Hawaiian Hazelnut are my top faves. I could drink them all day long, Even black... and thats saying something lol. love love love!! I'd recommend them to anyone!“
“Didn't eat anything and our coffees were to go... however the Ladies who helped me were very attentive to my needs for the coffee I needed to purchase for a Cancer Walk event we put on this weekend. I needed coffee for a 40 cup percolator and they didn't know what I needed...however really scrambled to help me out (I probably should have read the instructions before I went in).Thank You! The event was a smash and the coffee was delicious.“
“I Remember this little café from when it first open in Corralitos. They reopened in downtown Watsonville near the public library. Tried their tomato soup today and some of the ciabatta bread that goes with it was pleasantly surprised that it was so creamy and not oversalted like some tomato soup can be. Got their banana sunrise smoothie, which is one of my favorites still. The girls at the front that I ordered from were very sweet and helped me out when I got a little confused since I haven't been back for about two years. The inside is very cute and spacious would be a great place to study if you just finished a class at Cabrillo. Overall would definitely recommend.“
“Great place near the beach for pizza....whole or by the slice,quiche whole or by the slice as well as pie and bagels. Coffee drinks as well that was good. Limited varieties of each item but very good flavor and at a modest price. Example....pizza slice 6.00, quiche with a slice of bread 9.00.Parking: Across from the beach so the lot is sometimes full. More parking down the street.“
“the concha's are so heavenly they are incredibly soft and have the best flavor ever theyre cookies are the perfect consistency they're soft but also have that crunchiness a cookie should have, every single time I've been I've been met with exceptional service the workers are very polite“
“I always need to stop by to get my matcha latte , oatmilk lattes, or flatwhite fix ( hot & cold) whenever I'm in Aptos or Santa Cruz. Their lattes are strong and smooth for mental and mood booster. It hits the spots every time. The location is an aesthetically pleasing with pleasant staff and plenty of seating.Its iconic and amazing matcha lattes and expresso. Their wifi is good for work, school. Highly recommend come here before the hike or get away from the town.“
“This coffee spot is such a gem! The 11th Hour Coffee rocks, the atmosphere is mellow, the space is beautifully decorated and clean, and the customer service is first-rate. f you want a spot that has outstanding drinks, feels welcoming, and is filled with gorgeous plants and comfy chairs, Coffeeville is the place!“
“Love to grab a warm drink and some samosas in the late afternoon here. For those avoiding caffeine, I recommend the Rasayana, warm milk with a subtle flavor of saffron and cardamom, simple yet flavorful, just right for the atmosphere. Look at the images and captions on the walls as you wait for your drink. Stroll to the attached deck to enjoy the view as you sip your drink.Vegetarian options: Amazing samosas, not too spicy and just right for the atmosphere.Kid-friendliness: Cookies and warm milk are available.“
“Warm & welcoming place for all. Staff are kind, knowledgeable, and quick. Many options of chair types and table sizes. Almost every table has an electric outlet, and the space is comfortable to do work or art at for hours. This is my favorite Starbucks I've ever been to.Wheelchair accessibility: They have ample handicap parking spots. The front doors open easily, but there is no door opening button. The restrooms are large and can easily accommodate electric & manual wheelchairs. Restroom doors are kind of heavy & not easy to open. The sinks are accessible for wheelchair users.“

“Came here to get an early breakfast before I started a long day of meetings. There were a couple of other customers here when I arrived around 7 am and one barista/cashier who was frantically taking down everyone's orders and then making their drinks. She was a little flustered but I was in no hurry and completely unbothered that I had to wait a couple of minutes before my turn. I ordered a cafe au lait and a ham and cheese croissant. The croissant came out piping out a few minutes later and was delicious - buttery, flaky pastry dough filled with melted cheese and hot ham. Yummy. Coffee came out a minute later and paired really nicely with my meal.“
“First time in this SB! Great atmosphere, very comfortable and friendly! The staff is nice and the drink was on point! The cashier notified me about getting rewards stars if I use my SB reusable cup! Which I did!! and got 25 stars on the app. Yay!! Great experience!“
“Aaron is AMAZING!!! Positivity, enthusiasm, love for his job, and great barrista skills is what defines this great employee. Even when you go there after a long working day, he makes your day. Kudos to Aaron for always bringing a smile to every customer when he is there.“
