The cookies themselves are ENORMOUS. They are presented very well, with packed information ("maybe stored in an alright container for up to a week: for optimal freshness and flavor, freeze ANY cookies you don't plan on eating immediately!"). I ordered a loot of cookies to share, along with peanut butter and oatmeal raisin. If you buy them in bulk you can save money. A thousand perfect recommend this place, make sure you get here early (if you can) some of their most popular cookies sell out fast. Thank you, and I look forward to my next visit.

They had quite a variety of different cookies and the staff was nice when asked questions. I tried the peanut butter and Almond Joe cookie. Both were delicious but the Almond Joe was superb! It's a combo of chocolate and nuts which give the cookie a really nice texture. It was buttery warm, soft, but also chewy. So good.

So far Mango is the best flavor we tried. Banana was good but it is a little small. Strawberry was good. Passionfruit was too sour for us. Blueberry was good but not my mothers favorite. Raspberry was a little on the sour side as well. The man behind the counter was very friendly, if its your first time and you like sweets probably get the mango, banana, strawberry and blueberry. We didn't get the coconut because that also has passionfruit inside which was sour. Nor any of the more dense choco or PB flavor ones.

Glad we were in Santa Cruz so we got to try it out. This is a very cute pastry shop, small but very inviting. The service is fast here and there are a few seats inside to sit if needed. For the desserts, I tried the Mango and Pistachio. The mango was very yummy and tasted like a real mango, I loved that there was fresh chunks of mango inside! My favorite though was the Pistachio, if you like pistachio, you will LOVE this. It has a nice crunchy piece inside that I loved and the pistachio cream is spot on. I loved that there were pops of raspberry in there for tart, all the flavors came together perfectly. Would love to go back and try one of the assortment boxes next time!

My only surprise was that it was a smaller coffee drink than I was expecting, maybe 6 oz or so. As for the food, it was also delicious! The portion size was solid and everything worked really well together. There was the flaky toasted bread (not a traditional Cuban bread but still really good), and the perfect amount of mustard and cheese! The sandwich isn't traditional necessarily, but it is still amazing and something I would definitely eat again. It did take about 20 minutes to get to us, however, and we came in at a fairly slow time. I think this is such a hidden gem and I am so glad I found this place! I will definitely come back and try more of their coffee drinks!

We picked up the vegan chocolate cookie and the chocolate banana cookie, and both were excellent! For drinks, we ordered the vanilla latte and the iced mocha. I really appreciated that they weren't loaded with sugar. The flavors were subtle and balanced, allowing the quality of the coffee to shine through instead of being masked by syrup. We didn't have enough time to try their breakfast, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked incredibly promising. Definitely a spot I'd come back to just to give the breakfast menu a proper try. If you're looking for a solid coffee shop with quality pastries and what looks like a great breakfast menu, 11th Hour Coffee is well worth a visit. The ambiance is relaxing filled with plants and the service was amazing as well!
