I've had multiple iced lattes and iced matchas here, and they've all had so much flavor even without any added sweetener! I love the hours here, and they were even open and had plenty of seating on Labor Day. It does get pretty busy during mid mornings on the weekends, but there's always plenty of seating. The only downside to this location is parking. Since this location is so close to downtown, the only parking available is paid street parking, which bumps up to around $5/hour if you stay past two hours.

Not my preference cup for an iced latte but I appreciate the reasoning behind. I had the tiramisu latte and berry matcha 4/5 tiramisu latte Not too sweet, coffee flavor was a little too subtle for me. I like strong tasting coffee. 5/5 berry matcha Delicious , smooth tasting and the foam was yummy. Probably one of the best mathcas I've had. Customer service was okay. Nothing special to me, and has room for improvement. I will definitely be back when I come to the area again.

i like cats and i also like clouds but the real question is do i like cat and cloud? MEOW MEOW…read more i think they are solid if you actually like coffee. their roasts run light. you will not taste bitter dark roast italian-style BAM BAM on your tastebuds that make you physically recoil and shout OI MARIO MAMMA MIA!! i wouldn't order anything above a 6 oz size for that reason. it is a super cute shop, basically in a garage situation. located near capitola hashtag malibu barbie. bathroom is relatively clean. music is at the decibel of hippie (aka too loud for uppity people) but good taste - i walked in to a kali uchis song! hail the queen! also equipment is goated (mahkonig and decent). service is nice. free drip coffee samples! i love samples (i go to costco)! i tried the house blend which was okay. then i tried the honduras lot which was better; could taste the nuttiness and rhubarb. i ended up picking up a funkier one (rwanda red bourbon natural) since i am currently sick of washed beans. anyway cool selection!! i also tried the chai which was a disgrace to south asian culture. it was gentrified TWICE omg. too sweet AND had a white color. real chai is brown. anyway. the flat white was alright - a bit too big and a touch overfoamed. next time i will stick to the single origin drip or maybe an espresso. lets give cloudy meow meow a 4

Cool spot that I had been wanting to try for awhile since they were in Downtown. But their employee…read more+ customer service was not great. 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.

I've been trying to visit this particular coffee shop for quite some time now! Every time I swing…read moreby they were always closed or I just missed them! Lol I would always wing it and never take a picture of their store hours either! So I'm sure it was operator error! I am so happy for this particular brick and mortar because the first time I met the owner was on a bicycle on West Kliff or maybe East not to show I used to walk a whole thing during the pandemic! He was a really cool gentleman selling coffee on a nice looking bike and everything was clean, cut! Their menu items have changed and I'm glad he got more coffee companies to collab with! I loved my Stimulation Theory- it was smooth and had great frothy flavor with the perfect accent of cardamom! Everything within the Cafe is black and there a lot of joint seating areas. Granted when I got there, the individual spots were already taken. I sat an area meant for a larger group. I also enjoy the death metal music, grated it was played at the normal coffee shop volume level. Hee. So I've never actually HEARD that style of music at such a low decimal level, so it actually was quite comedic to me. At the same time, I'm glad it wasn't super loud like other rock shows I've been to! But still very much a vibe!! I can't wait to go back and try other drinks and pour overs that they have!! I can't wait until they get pastries or some sort of pop-up since I love my carbs! Hee
