“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.“
“Excellent coffee quality and espresso quality. Skip verve and come here. This little coffee cart has the best coffee in Santa Cruz. I don't even touch on the quality of the drinks.... They're damn good too. Excellent cappuccino texture.“
“As I sit here drinking my morning cup of Bob, I thought to myself it's time for this review! Last week I didnt have time to go over and see the wonderful guys over at Java Bobs so I was stuck drinking cups of joe.. but yesterday I was finally able to get over there and got my usual 3 lbs of Hawaiian Hazelnut.. and let me tell you.. I think I had a moment of bliss just from the aroma of Bobs.. and then as I take my first sip.. I sighed in aww of how amazing this coffee really is.. anytime I make someone coffee they always comment on how wonderful it is.. the guys that work there are always so amazing and quick too! Do yourself a favor and check this place out!“
“Years ago I learned about Alta when The Buttery Bakery made them their house brew. It was uncommonly good for coffee shop/bakery coffee. (Sadly, the Buttery changed to another roaster.)Their Ethiopian Natural is very good. This is my daily cup. Bright, full bodied, hints of berry set this medium roast apart.The coffee is quality. They still sell a 16oz pound. The people are nice. It's next to the Saturday Farmers Market, on the West Side, so it is very easy, too.“
“Justin refurbished a 1980s Elektra Micro Casa for my home. It’s a unique and fun to use lever machine that gets lots of compliments! Justin is friendly and has a wealth of knowledge to share about coffee and machines, including tips for how to brew a better espresso shot. Thanks, Justin!“

“Nice place to duck in out of the rain. Warm up, dry off & get cozy.This is a great location on the Westside of Santa Cruz. So convenient to grab a cup to go or stay in & enjoy with WiFiI had a cup of the drip coffee. I have had breakfast toasts here before that were very good.Everything seems to be handcrafted, fresh roasted, fresh ingredients.The decor is clean and modern on the upscale side of coffee shops. The staff is friendly and the products are tasteful & nicely designed.Verve is in good company..Located in a cluster of shops, grocery, wine & local illustrator “Killer Acid” studio is next door. Generally pretty easy parking for a busy area.“
“I'm the truck driver that delivered the coffee kegs on 7-11-23. I thought all the people that work there were efficient on getting me in and out really quick. The two girls that help manage my delivery was sweet and did an excellent job. I am looking forward to my next delivery so I can try out that good smelling coffee!“
“Cool coffeeshop in downtown Santa Cruz. Great spot surrounded by shops and restaurants. Decent hardwood on metal seating, not comfy for long stays, but typical café decor for today. A few nooks to tuck away into to read, write or chat, but you may have to find a spot as it's typically a fairly popular place to do so. Deliciously flavored coffees!! Their syrups are always unique, seasonal and super tasty! Definitely recommend trying one. One of my fav coffeeshops for downtown SC :)Parking: Can be difficult at times to find parking. It's all paid parking unless you're willing to walk from one of the nearby neighborhoods and, even there, it's difficult to find a spot. Plan ahead and buffer you're time if you're going when it's busy.“
“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.“
