Finally... a coffee shop that gets the job done…read more We're in town for a long weekend and spent way too much time trying different coffee places downtown, mostly because every single one was pushing medium roast like it's the only one allowed Then we found this place, real dark roast. And not just any dark roast, it's called Sweet Italian. Not quite bitter or burnt. Just bold, rich, and exactly what I needed If you love coffee that actually has depth (not gently toasted), come here, this spot saved the weekend.

For you EV driving electron huggers out there you are in luck: There are a dozen level 3 chargers. Yeah, this place has Tesla superchargers but skip those if youre not in a rush. Instead use the Blink solar powered charging just a few 100 feet from those big red & white tesla vulvas next to Diversity Center Food: healthy eaters and particularly plant-based consumers such as level-5 vegans and non-commital vegetarians will be accommodated here. I had a burrito that was stunningly delicious. They put tofu and soyrizzo inside the burrito! This had had the effect of making Damn near the best veggie wrap I have ever had had in this town!!!!!!!!! in addition, the barista trotted out dog treats for bodhi!. She was so friendly and accommodating Of course the patio is just wonderful and usually uninhabited. Dog get treats if they get ip on the furniture too! You has the info. Now git it!!

I wish I had read this somewhere during my mission to find this place. It took a lot of walking back and forth and definitely walked past it twice before realizing where it was. Very friendly and quick service! The price is also good! I wish the menu was a bit bigger since I didn't get what I originally came for (I looked at Yelp picture menus for items that no longer exists; that was a huge bummer).

However, the boba drinks are made of store bought powder mix similar to Quickly's so i decided to get a tropical smoothie. The smoothie was $7.75 and was pretty icy.

Overall, the smoothie size was pretty good but it was pretty mid considering its price and how it wasn't made using real fruit.

Super tiny cafe in downtown Santa Cruz that's hidden but a pretty good find! Something I found…read more interesting is that what makes their coffee fun and unique is not necessarily fancy cold foams or syrups that they add (but they do have yummy sounding house made syrups), but more of the spices that they add to the espresso! I ordered the Otter Latte and I thought that the addition of spices like cinnamon and cardamom to the espresso was super delicious! The inside is a little small so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go type place, but I think it's cute and a fun hidden gem in downtown. While I didn't try any of their food, they seemed to have some interesting food options available as well. Super cute place and I can see me coming back here to get a simply but delicious coffee.

Got absolutely robbed…read more 8.75 for a 16 oz white mocha. Barista handed it to us with a ton of coffee spilling out of it and dripping down the cup. Ambiance was good, until we got robbed by the barista for a 7/10 white mocha 8.75. For a. 16oz. White mocha. One size only so couldn't even get a small. I don't know how I'm ever gonna recover. My heart is broken. My soul ruptured. Organic though I know I know "if it's so expensive take yo broke ah somewhere else!" But this is robbery. I have to tell the public. The governor. The mayor. Everyone. This is a threat to the public. Beware! They don't sing, dance, or clean your cup that's spilling with coffee prior to handing you a 8.75 16oz white mocha. If you are not a college student, I recommend this place. If your rich retired and living the vida, come here. If not. Your paying a months rent for a white mocha. This place was cool though. And I'll return once I'm rich.

After circling the block because I didn't see it, I realized it was located inside the Staff of Life Market. Parking was plentiful for my mid-morning visit, and wifi was easily accessible and free. There was ample seating, all of which was covered. The place had an indoor/outdoor feel to it with big open doors, but walls all around. There was even a nice waterfall feature to add to the ambiance. While I only ordered a tea, the treats and smoothies all looked and sounded delicious!

Eddie and the team at Coffee Conspiracy make the highest quality espresso coffees in Santa Cruz…read moreCounty! They use single origin light-medium roast beans at their coffee bar and sell bags for home, too. I only use their beans at home. Their quad-shot latte with whole milk is banger. Ps. If you're a pseudo coffee lover who is more interested in killing the coffee with burnt (dark roast) beans, pumps of vanilla or pumpkin syrups, etc, this is not your jam. This is the areas spot for just extremely good unadulterated espresso coffees, done right. No noobs.

We walked in as a family (me, husband, our baby) and while we were deciding what to order husband asked for the restroom code. The tall male employee looked us up and down and said so, you gonna buy some coffee? Husband said yes...why? The employee said "I just need to know if you're planning on buying something or just here to use the restroom . " Why would we come up to the counter , peruse the menu and bring the baby inside if that was our only goal? It was so off-putting. Anyhoo, the interior was nice all black and some sort of rock/ metal playing. There's magnetic tiles to Create your own conspiracy or statement and other conspiracy type decor . I got a 5G is killing our bees which was nice and smooth flavored espresso drink and husband tried the NZT 49 which he liked. but only thing is we regretted not trying a black cold brew or shot of espresso to really taste their coffee. Maybe next time. And hopefully next time that particular employee will chill out a little bit on their restroom. Might I add, this was my 2nd attempt to go to this location. The first time they were randomly closed at 1230pm. Wish they would at least post a heads-up online or something.

The dark haired woman who helped me (I should've asked her name) was so kinda and helpful with the menu and recommendations She recommended their long black coffee telling me how good the flavor was and she was right! Reminded me of my first time trying coffee. It's now a walk up spot rather than a drive through, which adds a personal touch, and I liked the plants they had near the window. Looks like the they just opened up recently and I can't recommend them enough-- simple and delicious drinks. I used to love lulus here for the specialty drinks but this simple iced coffee was better than my special drink I used to get from there for years. Go check it out! I want them to last at this location.
