I ordered Tiramisu latte it was delicious not sweet just right about of sweetness. If you like a lot of sweetness this might not be your drink unless you ask to be more sweet As for parking that's a bit tough since all street parking also meters in place and only take coins. I did see a public garage a block away for those plan stay there for a longer time Definitely a place to checkout

The food options looked good too but I was full from lunch and just wanted a cold coffee! I like how they have a big interesting menu of drinks and milk alternatives.

Coffee, Ocean Views & a Mini-Retreat for the Soul…read more I've been to A LOT of places for coffee, and I'll just say it: I'm a coffee snob. So when I say the coffee here is awesome, I mean it! What makes this place special isn't just the coffee--it's the entire experience. Operated by the Catholic Church, this peaceful coffee establishment has a beautiful prayer garden where you can stroll, reflect, and maybe even get your thoughts straight before your second cup. My bride and I spent FOUR HOURS here reading, journaling, talking, and enjoying the serenity. And yes, we were still happily married when we left! The view of the Pacific Ocean is spectacular. You can walk across the street, sit on a bench, and simply listen to the waves. There's also a spacious patio, clean restrooms, friendly and polite staff, and an atmosphere that seems to say, "Slow down...you're allowed to breathe." This isn't just a place to grab a cup of coffee. It's a place to grab a cup of coffee, grab your thoughts, grab your bride, and grab a little peace for your soul. As a Yelp Elite reviewer--and someone who takes coffee VERY seriously--this place gets my enthusiastic recommendation. Great coffee. Great people. Great atmosphere. Incredible view. And a prayer garden thrown in for good measure. Sometimes you don't need a vacation. You just need four hours, two cups of coffee, the Pacific Ocean, and someone you love sitting across the table. #YelpElite #CoffeeSnob #CoffeeLovers #PacificOcean #CoffeeAndViews #PrayerGarden #MiniRetreat #DateDay #GreatCoffee #HiddenGem #CoffeeWithAView #SoulRefreshment

Tucked inside the church building and opposite the beach, it's an amazing coffee shop in Santa Cruz…read morefor hanging out or working all day. It has plenty of parking and ample indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is limited, but everything is good. Service is friendly and quick. The food and drinks were so good that we went twice during our three-day stay in Felton. They also have a cute gift and book shop, and a clean bathroom.

I absolutely love this place! The service was outstanding and my coffee tasted fantastic.read more

At the moment, any espresso drink in general works but their seasonal drinks do look interesting. A quick stop here while I was in SC and checking this food hall out. Cat & Cloud is a small cafe with friendly staff that makes great coffee (then again it's the only one in this little food hall) so you'll get your great coffee fix here and enjoy your meal as well. They have a few pastries but I didn't get a chance to try them so if I'm ever back in the area, I'll give them a try and also curious to try their holiday drinks too.

Coffee is great, matcha is ok (the usual more milky taste, but good if you don't like your matcha too earthy). Appreciated the very Santa Cruz vibe menu and the workers were kind and the drinks came out within 5-10 minutes of ordering.

There was quite a line.. but for a local coffee house you know this means the place is good! I got an iced dirty chai and a banana chocolate chip cookie! The chai was amazing!!!! The woman at the counter told me the chai is made in someone's backyard! It was so good and rich! The banana chocolate chip cookie was freaking amazing! So soft and had so much flavor! My friend got a box of all the macaroons and I tried them.. amazing! This coffee shop is a vibe! They don't use plastic cups.. they care about the earth! The inside is so cute! Would come back for sure! Skip Starbucks and come here next time you are in Santa Cruz!

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.

My lattes and cold brew are solid though my friend, who likes dark brewed coffee, couldn't get one here today. They do have mugs and glasses available which I always get to avoid using single use ware. But the Classic Avocado Toast, oh MY!! Delicious and full of avocado (which my pic didn't quite capture). Watermelon radish added beauty. Wasabi mayo added a nice tart, tangy flavor. Delicious bread too. Coming back again for that soon!!
