    Peppermint mocha (pretend it's winter still, okay?)
    Christine S.

    Such a good find for a little neighborhood coffee spot. Service here is always amazing, but this time I wasn't able to stop in and was so happy to see they deliver to the area. Everything showed up warm and delicious. The bagels... seriously the best. Always. Soft, fresh, and somehow hit every time. Breakfast burritos are also a go-to. The chorizo is super flavorful and the vegan soyrizo option is also pretty good. My order came with "have a turtle-ific day" written on the cup, and when I took the sleeve off there was a cute little turtle drawing underneath. Totally unnecessary, totally appreciated. Made my whole day. This is one of those places I'll always come back to or order from anytime I'm nearby.

    jalapeno cheddar lox bagel with jalapeno cream cheese
    Mariah S.

    Pretty solid bagel sandwiches. The bagels themselves had a good chew and flavor. Cream cheese melted from being toasted so made things pretty messy. Generous portion of egg and lox. we came on a rainy day and the line was still pretty long. the staff was working hard to get through the long line and push out orders quickly. not a lot of indoor seating for a rainy day...

    absolutely delicious , can't go wrong with any sandwich, and popular flavors sell out so go early!

    This is a very special place all the logos go here and also tourists the sitting area is outside and there is little shade so be prepared for that part I don't think there's anything on the menu that tastes bad and their drinks are especially tasty and seasonal so it changes I wish I could try every single thing on this menu

    I can't really give a review of the establishment itself but, we were able to order breakfast and have it delivered directly to the lobby of our hotel which was very cool. We were too tired to get up and look for food so a place that offered delivery was great. I had the Kitchen Sink breakfast sandwich which had bacon, avocado, tomato, jalapeño, chives & cream cheese. It was good and very filling! I also had a cafe au lait which I don't see very often on menus. Also very good. Aside from bagels and sandwiches they have a few breakfast burritos and a bowl. Next time we're in SC I will definitely go to the shop and try something new!

    Super cute coffee spot, and the food was amazing! Plenty of vegetarian options and so many different types of bagels to choose from. No Bathroom

    Breakfast bagel on jalapeño cheddar
    Gillian Gail A.

    10000/10 would recommend and would go again. Ladies in the front were fast efficient very nice! Guys in the back were working and vibing! Loved the atmosphere! Their jalapeño cheddar bagel by itself is magnificent. Probably my favorite jalapeño cheddar bagel I've had. You know it's fresh and they add a lot of jalapeños on top!! Breakfast bagel amazing. A great amount of egg, big slices of green onions, just a slather of cream cheese. I do wanna say tho, the top of my sandwich was good needed salt but then I hit the bottom of my sandwich and it was salty. Overall, still good! The crème brûlée coffee, probably also another one of my favorites. Not too sweet. The extra shot of espresso was definitely what I needed. It balanced out the sweetness to the point you couldn't taste the extra shot. So loved!!

    Breakfast bagel with jalepenos
    Victoria V.

    Bagel was BOMB. I ordered a regular breakfast bagel with jalapeños with a garlic bagel and wifey got a veggie. The bagel was super soft! And the flavor was great! I loved how they added cream cheese as well. The wait was a little slow but well worth it. Also got a chai and that tasted really good. The place is smaller, more outside dining if you wanna hang out. But there's plenty of parking in the back and some in the front.

    This place was sooooo good. The bagel was amazing ordered the kitchen sink with a spicy garlic bagel. Very friendly staff. Only complaint is they didnt let paying customers use the restroom. That was annoying and very wack

    Great place for breakfast. Lots of outdoor seating. When we got there there wasn't much of a rush but a few minutes later the place was vibrant with people. Service was chill and they helped us customize our order since they were out of chorizo that day. They def were a cool spot to catch the race from so i can see why they ran out. We'll have to go back again to try it and we're excited to!

    Bagel breakfast sandwich
    Nel S.

    Found this coffee house when heading out of town from a weekend trip to Santa Cruz. When we arrived there was a line snaking around the building so we knew this place was about to be good! Waited in line for 10 minutes and another 15 minutes to get our food and drinks, but it was worth the wait! I ordered the bagel breakfast sandwich and it was LOADED with so much egg, definitely gave me my moneys worth. The peach tea was also yummy and my spouse said the breakfast burrito he ordered was yummy. Cute shop, great food, friendly service, would be back if ever in town! My only advice would be to plan for a wait and if you're in a rush, probably not the spot for you. For reference we visited at 11AM on a Monday morning.

    SO happy we came to try this spot. The bagels were 10/10 easily. So much flavor, it was the best bagel I've had. I ordered the "Situation hubby ordered "Veggie" and we will definitely be coming back for more! Only downside is the coffee was more milk than coffee itself. I'd recommend getting a coffee elsewhere.

    I got the "Kitchen Sink" breakfast sandwich and it was really good! Made fresh & came out pretty quick. That paired along with the iced americano was perfect and the staff were all friendly. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed our breakfast and it was great!

    Oh my god. - Kitchen Sink Breakfast Sandwich, herb cream cheese and cheddar onion bagel. Just get it.
    Brock S.

    Stopped in on the way to pick someone up from the SF airport. Oh my god - Kitchen Sink breakfast sandwich, with herb cream cheese and onion cheddar bagel. Honestly, one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Ate it, and got another to go for the person we are picking up from the airport. GF said the burrito was good too, I think, but not too sure because I was too engrossed in a soul to soul deep stare with this sandwich (that's a joke, we have health relationship communication habits)

    Avo was ripe. Bacon cooked right for me. Jalapeño cream cheese had a little kick but not very spicy.

The pastries are delicious (we loved the ginger raisin scones). It's set back from the road so it feels a little bit hidden but not so hidden that all the tables were occupied on a sunny Sunday morning. There's indoor and outdoor patio seating, next to beautiful gardens, with a gentle ocean breeze and a lovely atmosphere. Grab a coffee and enjoy the walk along the water!

    Such a cool, tucked-away coffee shop. This feels like one of those hidden gems you're happy to…read morestumble upon. The location is unique, set behind a church, which gives it a quieter, slightly off-the-beaten-path feel. It's a great stop if you're walking from nearby hotels or just exploring the area. The space itself is cozy with a relaxed, peaceful vibe. There's indoor seating, and on a nice day the patio is a great option. It's not a huge shop, but there's enough seating to sit and enjoy your drink. Drinks were really well done, my favorite was Our Frother. Everything tasted balanced and thoughtfully made. The atmosphere feels calm and welcoming, perfect for a slow morning coffee. Overall, a charming little spot with great coffee and a unique setting. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Santa Cruz.
