As a local living, just a few minutes, walk from here, this is my favorite place to have a coffee, read and relax . I've been reading an Anthony Bourdain book here this week. It is inspired me to tell you what a great place this is. It is a much quieter, serene but friendly place to sit and enjoy excellent coffee and read a book. They serve Santa Cruz coffee, which is better and my favorite. It is very much unlike Cat & Cloud, which is often filled with strollers, noisy, long lines and nowhere to park. While you're here, a few steps away, you can poke your head in the Point Butcher Shop and see all the quality meats they have also.

I ordered a Lox bagel and added pickled onions to it. I ended up with a bagel with no Lox. When the clerk was questioned her response was.'well I used my last piece on the bagel before yours' So it's ok to charge someone for an item, but not serve it and not even say anything!??

We went close to closing time and the two employees were nice and worked fast. We ordered an ice latte and iced Mexican mocha both lite ice. We drank them and completely forgot to take photos. They were simple good drinks. The inside of the cafe is small but really nice. Good place to hang out and they also have outdoor seating.

Coffeetopia is one of my favorite coffee places in Santa Cruz area. I love their Mexican mocha. Iced or hot. They have good breakfast burritos and other food items. Friendly staff too.

Walk-in to get coffee with my grandson this morning and the woman behind the counter yells “ our espresso machine is broken so unless you already have a coffee you need to get out!” So I said this might be a silly question but can I just get a hot chocolate? She replies no like i said the machine is broken. So I asked if I can just get a regular coffee and she tells me I am scaring her and being aggressive and need to leave!!! Not sure if it’s under new management but the last two experiences have been rude customer service. Not sure I’ll go back.

I was not amazed. A kind of old school aesthetic, $4 for self-serve drip coffee. Meh.

Very good coffee the space is cozy and comfortable. Friendly service!
Hot coffee is strong and delicious. Perfect for the early morning start. The ambience inside the cafe is nice and the outside is a vibe. Breakfast burritos are good. The staff is kind. I'd recommend this place.

A favorite for years now. I may be biased as it's walking distance from home.Vegetarian options: They have a great soyriso breakfast burrito. Also the obvious things like A begal with cream cheese or hummus. They also have soy milk, and other plant milk options for beverages made there.Kid-friendliness: Always great friendly service.Parking: It's there.

Another boutique coffee shop but I actually like this one except they don't give free or even discounted refills on their self-service drip coffees. Pretty stingy.Good vibes here and nice staff.I was originally trying to go to cloud and cat across the street, parking was impossible and it looked like a trailer home, happily I stumbled across this place, much better.

Coffee was lousy. Barista needed more training.Had more foam than coffee. The woman who took our order was rude. This occurred Friday the 24th of March morning 11:30.
