    One of only a very few public Bonny Doon venues, this little coffeehouse serves homemade goodies on a donation basis. You will love it!

    If I could give 10 stars I would! Can't believe all the trips I've taken to Felton, I've never came…read moreacross this place. The absolute best espresso, the bagels & breakfast burritos are such a treat, all feel like they were made with real love. The 2 separate times I've been, I've experienced great customer service & the place has such a nice little vibe to it. People complain about the prices, but this is 2026, everything is expensive & you pay top dollar for good things. Can totally just go to McDonalds & get your $2 coffee if you're in a bind. Also, make sure to check out the mugs & body care stuff they have displayed on shelves as well. This will be our regular spot every time we head that way!

    A friend lives in the area and said they've never had a bad sandwich here. However we didn't think…read morethis quite lived up. $67 total including tip for 4 sandwiches and a smoothie. We found a parking spot in their little lot on a Sunday around noon. Several left, and many people just park on the street in the front. Small line, it was busy, but plenty of tables open. We did have to wait maybe 10-15 minutes for our food. Bathrooms are outside, ask for their key, it's very clean. Southwest chicken sandwich - 3 stars. Flavors not super interesting, just a kind of soggy sandwich. The chicken pieces were thick but dry in the middle. Reuben - 3 stars. Dry.

    I stumbled on this coffee place randomly, but it is a total vibe.

They also have whipped cream which I enjoy when I wanna have a little cheap day and they had such cute art and tables to sit at to enjoy your drinks or pastries. I love a place that makes seasonal drinks and that are friendly and happy to serve you. They have a lot of options for things to buy whether it's dessert or a breakfast pastry. The location is super random. It's like on the side of like a bus stop area, but the coffee is so good and I can't wait till I'm in the area again to order more and actually sit and enjoy it when I don't have to rush to a meeting. Everyone was super nice and friendly and had a great morning vibes.

    As my friend and I were coming over the hill, she said she'd never been to Scotts Valley so I had…read moreto show her how cute this little town is!! As we got off the freeway, she looked up and there was a coffee shop right down the street. He stopped in here for a quick bite. The two barista is helping us were incredibly helpful and patient since we had to read everything on the menu. I also loved how their store was set up and they sold local arts and crafts from the community! I love the community aspect here in Santa Cruz County! Perhaps she misread the menu, but she thought "egg stacker" was a sandwich because it was under the "bagel sandwich "category. But under the description, it does not say there's any bread. Lol, which is better for us since we're trying to be gluten-free for the day. I had an ice green tea and a salmon egg which was delicious and filling perfectly made egg with the right amount of capers and seasoning for each bite to have enough flavor on it. The green tea was perfect since it was 92°! I can't wait till we get to the beach! I was sad. They didn't have any nitro coffee, but I will definitely come back to try more pastries since it seems like they were out but then again we got there about 30 minutes before they closed. Lol.
