04.18.24 Service was great, the young ladies working there were friendly and helpful, thank you to them! Location, interior/exterior, decor, seating, lighting were all 5+ stars, such a nice large, laid back environment to sit and work on your computer or for chat/get together w.friends.Now the bad; the hot Americanos were terrible. Tasted watered down, had a slight salty aftertaste. Thankfully did not buy a bag of beans from them.For amazing coffee we like Black Oak Coffee in Ukiah or Peet's in Scott's Valley. Avoid Starbucks as their beans (except for Blonde) is too bitter & acrid.

There's a lot of places in the Great City of Santa Cruz with single origin organically sourced coffee beans. What separates this job from the rest is there roasting skill set. They're just working at a higher caliber than the rest. They also got a really good vibe when it comes to incorporating greenery into the interior design. I may use ingredients like cardamom really creatively in their baked goods.

Fantastic eclectic little spot. I enjoyed an Americano and the fabulous cardamom cake. I was told the biscuits are amazing as well. Plenty of seating with indoor/outdoor seating and an incredible amount of plants and decor.

Very cute little coffee spot at the “end of downtown.” I got the raspberry chocolate latte (iced) and my friend got the honey lavender I believe. We both sat outside in the sun on a beautiful day and just took in the planets while we nibbled on our breakfast. I couldn’t believe how much seating this cafe has! It needs it for sure because it was slammed on a Tuesday.I had the cherry bourbon scone and the texture was perfect it just wasn’t the flavor for me. My friend inhaled their goat cheese galette.

Nice music & relaxed vibe among the staff- nice place! Wouldn't necessarily recommend coming by for a coffee if you're in a hurry, but it's a wonderful place to slow down and be present :)

This is not the place to come for a peaceful experience. The music is blaring! Dance club, yes! Peaceful coffee? No.
