Service was quick and friendly, and parking was super easy with plenty of open spots nearby. When I got there there was no line at all, but by the time I left there was a line out the door, which definitely says something. I didn't try the food this time, but everything coming out looked amazing. Looking forward to going back!

SUPER CUTE CUPS! Coffee is okay. I forgot I've been here in the past, so wanted to write a review…read moreto jog my memory in the future. They now change $0.25 for to-go cups, which I guess is a Santa Cruz ordinance. Can you imagine them doing that elsewhere? Oooooh my city would make a killing off that! Husband got his usual cold brew ($6.25 inc cup fee). No complaints except they don't fill it to the brim even if you don't want room for milk/cream. I got a tiramisu latte ($8.25 inc cup fee). I could see why they call it a tiramisu latte because of the mascarpone foam and the lady finger. It was decent, but I think I would have enjoyed a standard vanilla latte more. I also personally didn't like how the cold foam dripped down the side of the cup because it got all over my hands! As a former barista, I always made sure my drinks were clean before handing them out.

They have: * breakfast items like avocado toast & breakfast burritos * salads * great sandwiches * wood-fired pizza * dessert pastries * A nice selection of micro-brew beers on tap Service is fast, and they're happy to explain the menu or recommend things. The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. There is indoor seating and a nice patio area (which is dog friendly). My favorite sandwich is the buratta - roasted cherry tomatoes, basil, pesto, and balsamic vinegar on a ciabatta roll. (I always split it with my dog.) By the way, the name is an homage to the classic Alfred Hitchcock film "Vertigo" (1958). The climactic scene in the movie was filmed at Mission San Juan Bautista.

My husband and I both got our regular vanilla lattes and I got a chorizo burrito while he ordered a regular breakfast burrito. Everything was delicious!!

Their coffee is so smooth and has a nice body. I'm so happy we have a café to go to that's local and flavorful. (It might just take the lead on my Taylor Lane...)

Good thing I pre read the menu. When I got to the front, the barista said what do you want. Not the most polite greeting. But I truly understand that this was not a normal day. So I quickly explained what we wanted. The coffee was good. A nice smooth roast. Because of the crowds, I didn't get to look around. Is it just me, or has coffee really gotten expensive.
