Roxa Hammock Cafe

Pretty good drinks, but this place gives me the ick. Really worth pointing out that they have a drink that contains betel nut, an addictive and carcinogenic simulant that's considered a greater public health risk than tobacco in many parts of the world. And that's just one thing I know about, god knows what else they're putting in their drinks here. There are a lot of harmful botanical drugs that are unregulated in the US for one reason or another (kratom, for example, and I wouldn't be surprised if something here has that in it) and whoever's running this place doesn't seem to have any concern for what exactly they're selling. Honestly I'm sure that's a selling point for most of the customers, but I'm just putting this information out there for the more discerning. Personally, I'm not big on the crystal shop vibe of this place and the unfounded health claims they tout for almost their entire menu. I do, however, genuinely think their stuff taste pretty good, though it can be overpriced. Just make sure you understand what's in it.

Love the vibes. Drinks are okay but kinda overpriced. Same goes for açaí bowls they’re not bad but half the time the açaí is still half frozen, and they cost too much for what you get.

Have been wanting to try this spot for so long! Unfortunately I was really disappointed. Incredibly expensive, rude staff, and honestly just didn’t taste very good. Really sad because it’s such a cute spot but I won’t be returning.

The food was fantastic, but the service was extremely disappointing. We waited nearly an hour for our order, and we overheard staff complaining about customers who asked about their food.

Been going to Roxa for years with my family. The experience has always been amazing but in September I had a horrible interaction with two of the females working there. This was so disappointing. The stranger next to me was upset as well. I stop taking my family there since. I hope the customer service improves soon.

The hammock gave me and all of my friends a rash upstairs the hammocks are dirty and don’t get washed we got poison oak just from the hammock after standing up we all felt itchy we haven’t been anywhere else but the drive there after leaving our friends house the first place we went was roxa hammock we go every weekend and we always get rashes everytime we go to sit on the hammock upstairs y’all need to wash the dirty hammocks there gross and unsanitary but the drinks and vibes are always good but when we go and end up having rashes and itchy skin it’s not cool and ruins the experience

I love this place a lot! So inspiring, inviting, and homey! Im just so amazed by the creativity that went into everything this little escape in downtown Santa cruz! Amazing! Say less, just go! Your staff is also amazing! They found my wallet! Tell the nice lady who made my smoothie and found my wallet thank you so much! I forgot her name but she was lovely and is studying fire safety in school. She rocks! Give her a raise!

This place is witchy and unique. I was nervous about the hammocks as a plus sized person, but they were sturdy and fun.

This place is truly amazing. Great tea and great atmosphere! A place to really let loose.

Is it pricy? Yes. But is it worth it? 1000%. This place uses all organic, real ingredients, provides an amazing sacred environment, and puts thought into every bowl, drink, and tea they create. It’s a treat worth treating yourself to.

This place is amazing! Hammock seating with a little room to lightly rock, rooms with semi private seating, perfected lighting, beautiful artwork, delicious elixir! I cant say enough good things about this place! Owner/staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Ambient music! A must visit for Santa Cruz!
