Cute coffee spot. Lady at the counter was soo friendly and helpful with customer before snd after me. All smiles and made suggestions. I guess I was not the customer she had hoped for. I was not treated equally. I will not return.

They have a good selection for coffee drinkers. They also have some food options. The cookies looked delicious. There are some tables inside to sit and enjoy coffee. Plenty of parking available

Id like to mention the croissant ham/cheese is $5.50 but not satisfactory for the amount charged. Its similar to croissant i purchased for $3.50 at a cafe in Aptos.

Jalapeno/cheese frittata sandwich was ridiculously good this morning, the bun especially so. It was so good I gasped upon my first bite and almost myself to death on a flaking crumb. That is not a joke but it is funny and it is that good. The young man working the counter was new and very friendly despite the learning curve. Regardless, the experience was terriffic. Plus there's nice, unpretentious sitting areas inside and out.

Watsonville remain the whole central coasts hidden gem. I shouldn't even be saying that.

As a customer with no good reason I was attacked by outrageous anger humiliated and insulted me publicly at the Farmers Market after asking one simple valid question what is in my coffee order included this time. My coffee order already was done completely wrong after I was waited 30 minutes for it. I was waited another 20 minutes and I thought I have rights to know what they prepared for my order second time and the female in charge began to scream at me and right away grabbed that cup back. I had coffee orders before and neither me or members of my family felt two shots or three shots of coffee in lattee.
I experienced unbelievably violent behavior.

Love this place. Been a patron of Amelia's since the ol' 7 Bridges days, back when we used to homebrew. She brings that same kind of care and happy-to-chat-and-get-to-know-you kinda vibes to coffee now, and it's fantastic.So, the coffee is great, I love the food (get it toasted and not microwaved), but the only unlucky downside is the location. It's not exactly near anything (close to the hospital, I guess, and Freedom bakery), but the shop is still nice and relaxing. It'd be a nice place to set up your laptop or read for an hour or so.If you haven't tried them, give them a shot - you'll be supporting a local business with a lot of heart (woman owned business! Supports a ton of women-owned coffee growers who make fantastic coffee).

The coffee is fab but the service is subpar at best. We called to verify the hours since it was close to the holidays. Told the employee we would be driving ins me should get there before they closed. Pulled up 15 min prior to stated closing but they were already closed. Also the sign on the door stated they would be open for another hour. Very disappointed

I got a delicious double espresso con panna at the Wednesday farmers market today and it was one of the best I’ve ever had!Thank you!Dean

15 dollars for a Mexican mocha that didn’t taste like it had any spices in it and a soggy microwaved breakfast sandwich. The cheese on it has turned to plastic from the microwave, it didn’t even melt when I went home and put the sandwich in my oven to try and relieve some of the sogginess. This review is specifically for the food truck, I’ve never been to the actual shop.

Pour overs from so many small batch roasts! I had a choice of three city roasts... what more could a coffee lover ask for? Highly recommend if you are driving by on Route 1.

Great coffee and a tasty sausage egg breakfast sandwich. The owner was really helpful and friendly. A place I will definitely revisit!

Nice coffee and Mexican hot chocolate. Breakfast burrito was apparently so good my kids wouldn't share it.

The coffee here is delicious, I was getting it regularly at the farmers market, but when I spoke with the woman to clarify the meaning of the word I used in my coffee order (breve), she rudely spoke over me, closed off to any feedback or information.

Awesome little coffee shop! It was a bit hard to find but worth it for one of the best lattes I've had! The space was clean and well organized with lots of cute merchandise. Would have loved to stay longer, sip my coffe, and get a bit of work done but there was a time limit on the tables and no outlets for laptops (they were covered up).

Lovely service, would coffee again!

This is some of the best coffee I've ever had! I ordered the sampler set and it arrived SO quickly. What great service!
