The vibe when you walk in is upbeat and happy. I was greeted with a smile. I asked for a drink recommendation and was happily helped. It was busy so I expected a long wait and was surprised when my drink was out quickly. The iced latte was made well. Everything was clean and stocked. They have lots of seating inside and out. I can't wait to return.
The Loft is one of my favorite local coffee places because of the spaciousness, the flood of natural light (so it's perfect for working or reading), they serve local brew and local pastries, and the prices are reasonable! They even have hot foods, like breakfast sandwiches. To top it off, they employ really inclusive and inviting staff that make you feel welcome. The order line may look long when you arrive if it's morning or noon, but it always moves quickly. The only downside is the hours are sometimes shorter than I'd like, so I've sometimes come at times it's closed, so I recommend checking online before driving over to make sure they'll be open when you arrive. TIPS: - The only semi-confusing part is you pick up the food on the LEFT side of the counter and the drinks on the RIGHT side of the counter. - The extras (lids, sugar, napkins, etc) are at a little station on the right side of the counter, close to the side doors. - There are stairs leading upstairs that have limited tables and a small couch, but if you can snag seating upstairs, it's a cool space bec it'll feel more private and you get to look down at the cafe. - Sometimes Loft holds special events, so be on the look out for flyers. The space is so cute with the different types of seating and plant areas that divide up the space. There are also a few outdoor tables and chairs for those who prefer Al Fresca. Loft is located behind Cabrillo College and has lots of parking.
What everyone said about this place is true. It is the place to grab coffee and light breakfast. There's tons of parking, even with church services occurring. This place is huge and it needs to be since the lines often go outside the door. I love all the natural light and the tall ceilings. We tried a breakfast sandwich an a muffin. I tried the flight. The staff member we had was super nice and fun to chat with. This place had good vibes written all over it. There's also tons of seating and they even have a loft. We sat for a bit because I had that flight to finish, which I enjoyed. It's a great place to start your mornings off slow. That's the goal isn't it?
I love going to this cute and beautiful coffee shop since I used to take classes at Cabrillo. Their pastries, coffee, food and service are amazing. This is one of the most beautiful coffee shops in Santa Cruz county. Recently I stoped by to meet a friend and had their matcha for the first time. It's delicious I highly recommend it.
Delicious coffee, unbelievably delicious sourdough bagel, and friendly staff! Got the Santa Cruz Fog, hot 7/10 Sourdough bagel with plain cream cheese? 100/10 That was a life changing experience, will be back for jalapeño cream cheese. Fun place to study and banging music.
The moment you step through the door, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. There's plenty of comfortable seating, and the service is incredibly kind and attentive. Our cappuccino and Americano were excellent, and the pastries were absolutely to die for.
Located at Cabrillo College across from the recital halls where many concerts are held. Truly a beautiful coffee shop. There's a good amount of couches and tables, with plenty of outlets. There's an upstairs area you can sit too that overlooks the entire shop. Baristas are all amazing and super kind. I tried their cappuccino which tasted great. High recommend to order for here rather than to go, just doesn't taste quite the same. Definitely a great option to stop by fora drink if youre on campus or passing through!
Their breakfast sandwich really surprised me! It wasn't like those frozen fast food ones. This was the freshest biscuit sausage, egg & cheese sandwich I've ever had.
I love coming here when in Aptos! I think they have an awesome variety of food and snack options which entice me to come in to get an extra bite with my drink. The space itself is massive with tons of indoor and outdoor seating. I love all the natural light you get and of course, the seated loft upstairs. My drink was definitely on the very sweet side and I was tempted to have them remake it but was in a rush. However, that's an easy fix! The workers were super friendly. Lovely spot if you wanted to work remotely.
absolutely best latte. The breakfast burrito was delicious- not too filling. ambiance is lovely and inviting. Our family loved this place.

We were going to be in the area and decided to get some coffee and breakfast here. The interior is modern and spacious, I can see it being a great spot to study and work at! I got an Americano and a pistachio pastry that I forgot the name of, but it was tasty! The coffee also provided the caffeine that I needed. If you're in the Aptos area, definitely give Loft Coffee a try! read more
I had to hang out at Cabrillo for a few hours waiting for my kid and walked over to this excellent cafe across from campus. I ordered the Santa Cruz fog which is an earl Grey tea why macadamia milk. It was so delicious I had to return the second day. This cafe is conveniently located for campus students. Clean and lots of seating with electric plugs for charging. There is a restroom available inside. read more

Thanks for enjoying our space and sharing pictures!
Loft coffee is a newly opened space that caters to people who want a relaxing and semi-quiet vibe to work or study. With plentiful seating options both inside and outside, you should always be able to find a comfortable space for yourself. The menu offers your staple coffee shop items from espresso drinks to drip. Prices are really competitive compared to today's inflated rates. Service is really friendly and fast. The location itself borders Cabrillo community college as well as a nearby church. There are bike racks out front as well as a permanently affixed bike repair stand which is totally rad and appreciated by a cyclist such as myself! This was my early morning stop on my way to Forest of Nisene Marks State Park for some off road riding. I ordered a latte which was really well balanced between their espresso and the milk. The foam was tempered really nicely and had a glassy sheen to it. Well done! The person who handed me my drink was friendly and struck up a conversation when I picked up my cup. I'll definitely visit again during my next ride through the area. It's especially nice to know that there's that bike repair station there if ever I should need it! read more

This place was AWESOME! If it was just a bit closer to me, I'd come in all the time. Great for meeting up with friends but since it gets a bit loud, wouldn't recommend it for intense work / study focus. My vanilla oat milk latte was insane. It was so creamy and rich, and the art was cute (i messed it up before this pic). Staff was so friendly and the drink was ready quick! Will definitely return. read more
We wanted to try something different in Aptos and found this place through Yelp. The coffeeshop is huge! It's so nice as well, a perfect place to study, do homework, reading, work remotely or catch up with a friend. They have a wide range of seating and outlets. The coffee was delicious! We ordered a Coffee Flight, which is their sampler or different styles of their coffee. My husband got an Iced Mocha. We throughly enjoyed both our drinks! They had a good selection of pastries and they can warm up any pastry. They also had breakfast food options. The employees were so kind and patient while we asked questions and looked over their menu. This seems to be a location that locals seem to know more about. It was really relaxing and nice to enjoy my coffee sampler. I will be returning again when I'm in town. read more
This place is clean friendly and nice. The price also seems very affordable esp for the location. I felt welcomed and the coffee I had tasted great! If I went to school around there or just needed a great spot to work - this would be my jam ! read more

Came here to check it out and this place is amazing! Might be the best prices in town $3 drinks! My mom and I both got the fog, which is an earl grey tea with macadamia milk and honey. It was so good :) It is super clean inside and great for working remotely. read more

I love this place! I go to school at Cabrillo and the walk is very short. I love going with friends and enjoying the cozy atmosphere. Staff is very nice, and the drinks are very good and not too expensive. The breakfast sandwiches are good and I'm excited to try more! :) read more

This place has my favorite iced matcha latte!!! Every time I'm nearby Im so tempted to drop in to grab myself a drink. The prices here are on the lower end compared to other local coffee shops. My 16 oz matcha latte ends up costing me $4. The space is open and inviting with plenty of seating options inside and out. There is plenty of parking spaces out front as well as bike racks to lock up your bike(s). read more

Tucked away, but not too deep in the Cabrillo campus is the Loft. This place is incredible. I was so sad when Aptos roasting cafe closed in Aptos but now Ive found my new favorite cafe. The coffee is great and so is the food. Great bagels, pastries. The staff is efficient and friendly. The building itself is beautiful. It's very big sporting a loft and many other comfy seating areas including outside. Plenty of parking. The Loft is really family friendly and you see that on the weekends. It gets very crowded with kids when the school lets out on the weekdays as It's right next to twin Lakes school. read more

Parking is readily available. Not super busy, and the cafe is very clean with both indoor and outdoor seating available. The drinks and food are super reasonably priced. The latte was fairly average and the maple old fashioned was pretty tasty. read more
