    Greek toast to go with
    Michelle B.

    This is the Greek toast to go. Disappointing small piece of bread and the description on menu didn't really match what we got

    Drinks menu

    Food is good, the bagels are better than the toast, IMO. I think the bagels are made there, they're smaller than most bagels but taller and delicious. Bakery items are nice. The chai is pretty good, but coffee quality varies a lot. Drinks are called out at the bar, while food it delivered to the table. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. No music was playing inside when I was there, which I appreciate and everyone working was pleasant.

    Iced mocha

    We visited Cruise Coffee Cafe while visiting Santa Cruz.The location is interesting because it is next to a bus stop area. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating area has a good amount of seating. The indoor area has toys for young ones to play with so that's a bonus if you go here with young kids. Cruise Coffee Cafe has a variety of coffee drinks and food options. There are fresh baked goods/pastries too. The cinnamon roll was very tempting but we decided to try their veggie frittata, an egg bagel sandwich, and a plain bagel with cream cheese. We also ordered iced mochas. The iced mochas were heavy with milk. It was hard to taste the coffee because there was so much milk and chocolate syrup. It reminded me more of chocolate milk and less like a mocha. I prefer more coffee flavor. The veggie frittata was filled with zucchini, yellow squash, and spinach. It was good, but not something I would get again. The bagels at Cruise are made in house so they were fresh and tasty. They do not skimp you on the cream cheese. The pastries and baked goods looked delicious. The espresso cheesecake would have been my pick if we were getting a sweet treat. If I were to visit again, I would try more of their sweet items. We had a nice visit to Cruise Coffee cafe.

    Cinnamon roll and croissant
    Michelle D.

    My little fam and I really loved our stop into this coffeehouse / bakery the other weekend on our way to Santa Cruz. I could tell all of the baked goods were super fresh and they had many options to choose from. My husband claimed the croissant was the best he had in a very long time. The staff was very friendly and the outdoor patio was clean and had lots of shaded space to choose from. We really loved watching the model airplanes across the road soar into the sky. Very relaxing stop. The coffee was also great !

    This adorable French bakery in Scotts Valley feels like a little slice of Provence tucked away in…read moretown. The cozy atmosphere and charming details make it a perfect spot to slow down and savor something special. The cinnamon vanilla croissant is a standout--perfectly flaky on the outside, soft and buttery inside, with just the right balance of warm spice and sweetness. It's indulgent without being heavy and pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee. The tarte provençale is equally impressive, featuring a crisp, delicate crust topped with savory, well-seasoned vegetables that taste fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Whether you're stopping in for a pastry or a light meal, this bakery delivers authentic flavors and undeniable charm. It's a must-visit for anyone in Scotts Valley who appreciates classic French baking done right.

    Recently tried this bakery for the second time. Last time I bought a croissant and it was WAY over…read morebaked and I couldn't even bite off a piece. I had to rip it and then couldn't really chew it either. All the pastries looked too over baked and I figured it was just what happened that day. This time was the same but I ordered a Kouign Aman because it's a favorite and I thought I'd just rip it apart if necessary. I was asked if I wanted it reheated, yes please, but the result? All the sweet buttery goodness ended up on the bottom and hardened. I flipped it over, gently peeled back the paper and broke it up cause I paid $7.00 for it and I was not giving up(and $6.00 for the latte). It took work and strong teeth but the mission was accomplished. They have a wide selection of other types of food so I may return and give it another go with a non pastry item. The latte was great and the ambience is nice. I am still scratching my head about the dark, crunchy and almost burnt treatment these pastries receive. What am I missing?

    It's a chain. It's basic. The black coffee was drinkable-ish. The bagel sandwich was really good…read more But I will likely never go back. Bagel sandwich 3.5/5 stars, coffee 0/5 stars. When I tell you my friend's coffee was bad, it was bad enough I would tell you to go get burnt bean water from a major national coffee chain before getting it here... and the whole coffee interaction was so very bizarre... She ordered a latte with soy. When they brought it to her, they handed it to her in a way the lid popped off and when she attempted to take it from them to sip the coffee, as it was overfull, so she could put the lid on, the guy pulled it back away from her as she's saying "it's fine" and takes it back out of her hand, walks back to the kitchen sink, and dumps out a good inch at the top before putting the lid back on and bringing it back to her. It was really weird to insist on taking it out of her hand and super odd choice to try to solve an ill-fitting lid by dumping out part of the drink she paid for. The way he took it from her weirded us out. It was not helpful and friendly, it was insistent and domineering. We immediately wanted to get out of there and get to the car... and the lid pops off again and again, every time she picks it up. The worst part is that afterward she noticed white dry powdery crud settled at the bottom, not mixed in. No clue what it was, but our best guess was they use some sort of powdered soy milk and they didn't mix it in correctly. TL;DR - Get your coffee anywhere else.

    This is a really cute little spot!…read more They have a great variety of bagels and sandwhich options, and I was surprised by how big their drink selection was in the cooler. I got a sesame bagel with lox, cream cheese, and green onions. I would have preferred a bit more toasted, but now I know what to specify next time! Though it is a small space, everything is clean, the service is quick and friendly, and it has great lighting with all the windows. I would have loved to stay and work, but unfortunately they have very limited indoor seating because of the space. Excited to return and try more offerings!

    Was visiting family and wanted to buy a little something as a gift…read more Called Gayle's the morning of and ordered 4 of their pastries. The process was quick and easy. The menu is available online and they take same day orders via phone. Pickup was a little hectic as there were a lot of people in the bakery. I waited in line for a ticket and then waited for my number to be called, but found out that I could have just walked to the end of the bakery to pickup at the counter in the corner. I would probably add a sign to make it a little more obvious for those new to the bakery, nonetheless the pastries were amazing and nothing else matters. Everything was sweet but balanced with acidity or nuttiness. Great mix of textures and the crust does not fall apart even after a whole day in the fridge and being manhandled into cut portions. I'd highly recommend this place for out-of-towners, as those that live there already know it's the best.

    I need everyone to close their mouth and just read…read more This place is truly a gem Someone cares about every single thing being made here's The consistency and quality of every single piece is a standout. Hubs and I loved both our Mocha and chai- right topped with fresher whipped cream- lovely beverages. Cinnamon roll- one of the best I ever had, I think it's have a bit of cardamom. Brookie- soft and chewy with a nice flavor Marionberry turnover- filling was performed but that dough is flavorful and flakey Old fashioned chocolate cake- moist and milk chocolatey Egg and bacon croissant/ bagel smashed tot breakfast sandwiches- warm and rich Ham and cheese croissant- one of my favorite things it's so good and stuffed with lots of cheese. Key like pie parfait- STFU there is no way it could be better. I have a few more items in my back seat that we have not had and I can't wait to taste them.
