I brought in my own 16 oz coffee mug. It was $5.50 for a regular coffee. By the way, they only make Americanos (water and espresso). Was scalding hot and not great. Didn’t finish it. Was a waste of money.

I’m so disappointed! For years, People’s was my go to for a reasonably priced cappuccino and delicious homemade banana bread. I would drive across town just for the experience. Except for the cheerful and friendly staff, the vibe now has completely changed. The prices have doubled and the banana bread has been replaced with an uber sweet cakey bread with no banana flavor or walnuts. The cappuccino was very good. It was nice while it lasted but with so many options in Santa Cruz, I won’t be driving across town to come here anymore. ā˜¹ļø

If you are looking for the most epic neighborhood spot that warms your soul with the best coffee around this is it! Every time I’m here I meet the coolest people
Filled with synchronicities and positive energy. They have unique items on the menu like quiche, pho broth and empanadas and also traditional baked goods along with breakfast bagels and other goodies. So
Grateful I found the local spot!

Management changed this year, they took down all the cool decor and prices just got higher. Same wonderful staff though, they always have a positive attitude. I hope their pay was increased.

Good coffee and staff, but do not come here to work if you do online remote work via VPN/remote server as the WiFi is hotspot only and it’s way too slow. Was getting between 1-2mbps

Cute place, however, it’s absolutely ridiculous what we got charged for a dirty chai. They don’t have it on the menu, so they charged us for a chai and two add shots which brought the total for one to $11.25. A dirty chai price should be comparable to a latte, which was around $5.50. We ordered two and the total was $22.50. When we were aghast, the woman working let us know ā€œshe only makes minimum wage.ā€ I love to buy local, but this establishment will not be getting any more of my $$.
