    Amazing gigantic homemade breakfast burrito with amazing tasty homemade salsa

    I just recently discovered this place, only to wonder, where has it been all my years in Santa Cruz? It is totally worth the drive for me. There is no coffee place in Santa Cruz proper that even comes close. The ambience is so bright and artistic and inviting and intentionally designed. The food is delicious, top-notch baked items and made to order burritos that are full of flavor (not just basic ingredients, but actual spices and herbs). And Silvia is just the shizzle. I genuinely feel grateful that this place exists.

    ordered cappuccino for over seven bucks received a coffee with foam on top an inch tall looked like whipped cream not even close to a cappuccino come on

    Wow! Never had an itemized coffee. We ordered 3 coffee drinks. The pumpkin spice latte was over 9 bucks and we cannot even taste pumpkin or spice, just bitter coffee. The mocha was the worst, tasted like over watered hot cocoa with barely any coffee flavor. Not really drinkable.The regular latte was also watered down. I asked about the coffee sources and they buy their coffee so Not Locally Roasted. The chocolate cheesecake muffin was good, a bit dry or maybe old. Same for the blueberry muffin and scone. I will never stop here again when traveling to Aptos, CA. Check out the receipt. High priced garbage.

    Vegetarian breakfast burrito. Sub meat with spinach and mushroom. So yummy!

    My first time here, I spent $18 on a coffee and a breakfast burrito which, after getting the burrito (it was massive- enough food to last me all day I could barely finish it) it was so good! I thought $4.50 to refill my own coffee cup was kind of a rip off. But it was good coffee. The staff were really nice. I would go there again!

    I loved this place! They have Gluten Free options and just delicious food and snacks! So many options for drinks. The staff are very nice also. The main reason we came is because I read about the dog area in the reviews and it was so cute. I enjoyed my coffee while my dog was occupied sniffing the whole perimeter. They even sell dog treats inside! How amazing is this cafe!

    Indoor seating - plugs, tables.

    I was impressed with the service and the food. I recommend the El Jefe breakfast burrito for 2 or 1 starving working man.!! #God bless

    Coffee was good but not worth the $12 I paid for a small oak milk cappuccino. What? Am I at a resort?
