    Interior
    Sandy L.

    What a lovely little spot! I was surprised how extensive the menus is. It can be a bit overwhelming. Plenty of options for everyone. They have boba and crepes (and much more)! The interior is small. There are only about 4 tables. Service was very friendly! Payment is tap to pay preferred but there is a tip jar if you prefer to tip in cash. Parking is very easy since it's in a large plaza near the theater. I ordered the red bean and cream crepe. These crepes are made to order. You can see the man working on the left of the cashier. And these crepes are absolutely stuffed! They're delicious and well worth the cost. I'd love to try some of the drinks next time I'm in this area. They seem very popular.

    The crepe was packed. I was worried I'd be hungry still after and I wasn't even a little hungry. I was eating on my lunch break and didn't bring enough money for a drink. The people there saw I didn't have something to drink and offered me some water which was very nice. It's a charming little place with a couple tables but this the perfect food to take with you to a park or the beach or something like that. I can't wait to try a sweet crepe. They looked so good.

    Lemon strawberry crepes, hot chai latte, pour over coffee

    We were looking for a bite to eat after going to the nearby art supply store. We had lemon strawberry crepes, a chai latte & pour over coffee. Although they were busy, organized line, attentive ordering, and got a table. The crepe was filled nicely & delish! Coffees were reasonably priced for the high quality. We'll be back (even though we were visiting from over the hill).

    The food was delicious and they certainly don't skimp on the serving size. Employees were kind and you get to watch them make your order in front of you. Lots of fresh ingredients. One crepe is so big that it's more than enough for 1 person. There is seating in the restaurant.

    My boyfriend and I came here and got the strawberry and cream and a nutella crepe and we loved them! Be ready to be really full after! The service is awesome is super accommodating. We ended up ordering a coffee too after our initial order and that was good also. The place is small but perfect for a quick crepe date!

    Get ready to have a smile on your face for the yummiest crepes! There's sweet crepes and savory crepes. The crepes are a big size. I would say one crepe can easily feed 2 people. All crepes are made Fresh on order with fresh ingredients. There is a large variety of flavors for boba/bubble Milk tea.

    The left is the Veggie crepe, added tabasco sauce. The right is the Turkey Avocado. Served in to go containers with knife & fork inside!

    Wonderful little place with 4 small tables for dine in. An extensive menu for sweet or savory crepes & chalkboards with a myriad of drinks, hot & iced, & smoothies. The cafe is in the strip mall, has a massive parking lot with easy access. The decor was simple and bright. The crepe master and barista both acknowledged our arrival and assured us quick service. The crepes were prepared in full view if you wanted to watch, as were the drinks. The crepes were scrumptious, we ordered the Turkey Avocado & a Veggie. One crepe can be shared with 2 or maybe even 3 people they are so big and filling! Delightful experience ... definitely recommend you check it out!

    Passionfruit tea with jelly

    ICrave is me and my whole houses favorite spot especially for summery drinks to take to the beach. Rn my favorite is iced passion fruit tea with lychee jelly. The family that owns it is always so kind and quick!

    Almond Bubble Milk Tea (Left) & Wintermelon Bubble Milk Tea (Right)
    Cally L.

    The store is located in a quiet plaza across from Capitola Mall. I came on a Friday morning, and there was a good amount of parking. The owners were super sweet and service didn't take long, as there was only 1 person ahead of us. I assume when it's busy, it will take longer for your crepe to be made since they only have 2 crepe makers. The menu has a large variety (both food and drinks), and you can choose flavors for your drinks that you can't get elsewhere in/around Santa Cruz. Food/Drink: Wintermelon Bubble Milk Tea (6/10): I got this with less sweet, and it was still insanely sweet. There wasn't much tea flavor either and tasted mostly of milk. However, the boba was fresh and chewy. Bacon, Egg & Cheese Savory Crepe (10/10): Humongous; this can definitely be 2 meals or shared with another person. There was lots of warm, gooey cheese and a decent amount of fatty bacon. It was delicious! I definitely want to come back again and try their sweet crepes!

    It was my first time coming here and it did NOT disappoint!! The owners were very welcoming and the drinks were so good - especially for its price. I got the peach iced tea with diced strawberries and it was super refreshing. 10/10 would recommend!!

    One of the best crepes I ever had made in front of me. Totally worth it! I'd go back for more :)

    Hands down the best! Even during busy times customer service is nice. Crepes are PACKED , sometimes can't even finish one. They have iced, blended and HOT bobas. My favorite is hot chai latte with boba. I've loved this place for years.

    Crepe making in progress, FYI, it's HUGE!!

The only change I would make is to ad hair nets to those preparing the food but a lot of places don't have this so that's just me. when you are there, be sure to say hi to someone in line to find out how long they've been going to the coffee shop what they think what the best things are and post it because I would love to know which of the many coffee flavors and food items are the best tasting thanks

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 don't get bagels locally because, well, just because. I happily ordered us coffee and bagels. Now, bear in mind, we roast our own coffee, so to us, the coffee was on the "good" side of Ok. The bagels, on the other hand, were delicious! And boy, do they pack on the cream cheese (maybe enough for 3 bagels depending on one's preference)! Service was friendly and fast. And all the people coming and going were very pleasant - there were plenty of them. The sitting area outside next to the road is pretty small (next to a dumpster, I think), and my guy was having some mobility challenges (on crutches, etc.). Folks in the neighboring table were so kind and accommodating, voluntarily standing up so that he could maneuver into a seat. We went back the following week (yes, another medical appt), and this time they were out of the bagels we wanted, so note to self... get there early if you want a favorite bagel. We will definitely be back to Firefly for the bagels! Have I said "bagels" enough times already?

You can always appreciate the laid-back being anywhere in Santa Cruz or Capitola. They are right on a main street with parking in the back and they have a cute outside seating area with chairs and umbrellas. It's a pretty large and nice size coffee shop with ample seating and an extended couch/booth area. They have a lot of outlets to do work quietly or to read or charge your phone. I really like that they close at 6 PM too a lot of coffee shops close at three or four. If you're here long enough and haven't eaten, they sell food and snacks. Also a pretty good option of beverages like coconut water, soda, waters, and smoothies, or plain sodas. You can come in and get a soup or some cookies, a protein bar, or, some bagels- they legit have it all. I haven't tried anything food or coffee wise, but my Italian soda is pretty delicious.
