Good people at this location, friendly. Only negatives is the lack of charging places, probably intentionally so you don't sit there all day. Definitely a well-managed, well run location.

Great coffee shop to grab a quick Goutwn free treat and a coffee.

For a place that was nominated for their coffee it is disappointing the pastry’s were the only item worth paying for. The cappuccino had a weak coffee taste, with a slight sourness to the foam. Also got a latte which was dull and tastes like the roast might have been burnt. Service was below average with no care given. However, the goat cheese pastry was excellent and I would recommend.

Came here and had an excellent americano. Nice flavor and did not taste burnt like some other places. Waited a bit, but they appear to be heavy on the pour over options. I would come back.

I’m A bit of a Coffee, snob, and like my beans fresh. I ordered some beans from Verve and although I live just a few towns away, I opted to have my beans delivered. They arrived quickly ….just a couple of days after ordering. Excellent service And kept me notified every step of the way . However, I’m quite disappointed as the beans are definitely not fresh. I use the bloom method of brewing and there is no bloom With these beans. Additionally, I ordered a dark roast and these beans are more of a light medium roast… But that part’s OK. What I really count on is freshness, and these beans were old… Been sitting on the shelf for a while? Why would they send a new customer old beans? Well, at the same time, I tried another coffee roaster in the area. I was a bit disgruntled with them at first because their beans took a while a few days a week to arrive. But oh my, their beans are very fresh…..bloom nicely and excellent flavor. So needless to say, in spite of their excellent service, I will not be returning to Verve. I hope they improve the freshness of their beans.

Had a terrible experience. The staff was incredibly rude and I witnessed off-shift staff berate on-shift staff, with no consequence. I will never support this company again.

This place at atmosphere is great, and the coffee is superb. However, the avocado toast was inconsistent with other locations. It wasn't a spread but blocks of avocado that lacked more flavor.

Wasn't sure how to order. Greeted with attitude. After receiving my coffee. I told the guy oh shoot this isn't what I wanted I wanted it more like that coffee next to mine, can we add milk, I wasnt sure how to order. His response was "Maybe next time" I'm sorry but there won't be a next time! To me, that was a horrible and irresponsible response.

Lovely coffee shop in SantaCruz! I highly suggest trying their whiskey latte coffee. The staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is clean, modern, and hipster.
