Not only do I love the theme. But the coffee is the best coffee I’ve ever had . Well it ties with Honolulu roasting company on Oahu.

Eddie acknowledges you from the jump when you walk into his shop. There's a smile, a twinkle in his eye, and typically, a fun comment that makes you laugh and think, "how far gone is he?"And he is gone... he's gone deep into his passion which is both humbling and inspiring. He's taken an idea and Morphe(d)(us) his love of coffee into an amazing place to enjoy coffee and hang.He takes his craft very serious, but he's lighthearted as to not to come off pretentious, and if you listen closely, he's serving up kernels of truth alongside the best coffee in town.The only cons lie in the name, Coffee Conspiracy. which is a testament to resilience, creativity, and a sprinkle of wonkiness that makes you feel grateful not everyone has succumbed to corporate greed.

Came here yesterday while we're in town for vacation and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the coffee here. This humble little place feels special even among the handful of quality third wave coffee shops here in Santa Cruz. I asked for an iced americano and Eddie served up his latest single origin Peru beans that he roasted himself. The level of pride he has in his craft is well deserved. Very enjoyable acidity and the aftertaste is heavenly. I was taking my first sip as I was walking out the shop, and the moment the coffee hit my palettes my body turned 180 and walked right back in to buy a bag of the roast I had just tasted so I can bring home to experiment with. I came back the next day and ordered a quad shot to enjoy at the beach. I hope to see what kind of roast Eddie will be serving when I return to Santa Cruz next time!

Hands down best coffee in Santa Cruz County!I live and work in Watsonville and I make my way to Coffee Conspiracy almost every morning to get a coffee from here. Sitting in and drinking a Simulation Theory makes waking up early and sitting in traffic worth it. Such a great way to start my day.The remarkable flavor these coffee have is insane and something you have to experience to understand just how good they are. Whether you like your coffee sweet or not, there’s something for everyone. I promise you will not be disappointed.Eddie (the owner) takes so much pride in every drink he makes. I’ve seen him pull espresso shots and say “I’m sorry, I didn’t pull a good one let me redo that for you”. Regardless of when you go, you will consistently get a perfect drink.
Came in this morning on our last day in town before heading back to reality. Hands down the best cup of coffee I have had in a long time. The service was amazing, music choice was on point and the caffeine level was perfect!

So the theme is a little haphazard, but my god the coffee is good. Had a cappuccino and it was legitimately delicious! I actually had to slow myself down to really enjoy it, so damn good

The best coffee for any co-conspirator. Eddie has the most delicious and unique syrups and coffee, and is always fun to chat with. Amazing service, he really makes an effort to connect with each customer. Also a great place to hang out, even just the shop itself is a rad experience!

We’ve always enjoyed exploring local coffee shops over chain businesses. This spot offers hand-poured coffee, and they personally source their coffee beans. If you’re a fan of acidity in coffee, this place is worth checking out. Reasonable price of pour over. The owner is friendly too.

Wonderful espresso coffee with raw organic fresh milk (cappuccino). Owner very friendly and informative. Do not really have food or pastries here.

A great iced americano. Lots of places can't pull an espresso shot to save their life. They get it to you fast too. Great place to grab and go.
