I used to love this place, but who in the world serves ice cold BLTs without asking if you want it toasty and hot or ice cold and fatty from the fridge? The other day I got a microwave heated croissant with a half-melted cheese slice and cold deli ham when I ordered a "ham and cheese croissant," which is a basic bakery order that they could order out and not even have to worry about making in house. Two gross breakfast orders in two weeks, for a total of about $25 plus about $6-7 in tips. What the heck happened to this place? Biscuits? Excellent. Gravy? Lacking red pepper, rosemary, thyme and black pepper--happy to share my recipe. This BLT sandwich is so fatty and yucky. I can't imagine anyone thinking this tastes good. So disappointing. This place used to be a staple of my daily life in BC because they were so good! And I agree with other posters that communication between workers is lackidasical at best. The baristas hang with the potentially big tippers much longer than necessary without realizing who the really big tippers actually are! On every one of these bad orders, they got a 25% tip out of me no matter what. read more

This place is awesome! Everyone is so friendly and the food is AMAZING. Great coffees and their homemade cream cheeses are out of this world (especially the pesto cream cheese). Highly recommend coming here! read more

We were in the area around lunch time, decided to give Treehouse Cafe a try. They offer a wide variety of hot teas, coffee, sandwiches and salads. We ordered from the breakfast and lunch menu: breakfast sandwich with croissant bread and bacon, breakfast burrito with ham and the Ernest sandwich. All 3 items were delicious and decent size portion, we also ordered for an extra $2 a Greek orzo salad. The salad was good, I would've liked to have more lemon and olive oil flavor to it, however it was still good. The location is perfect next to the bridge with a great view of the creek and nature out the windows in the back. The kids in our party loved it, there was a corner with toys for them, books to read and a blackboard for them to scribble on with chalk. In another corner of the dining area was a bookcase full of books for adults. read more

Visiting from downtown LA and so glad we found this place. Came here two days in a row for coffee and breakfast and everything was amazing, including the service. Their lattes are great and the ambiance is super nice, highly recommended. read more

This is the best thing to happen to Boulder Creek! The food is great. The staff is wonderful. The atmosphere is inviting. Go and sit and relax. Bring the kids and let them play with the toys in the back. Get a bagel or a sandwich or soup or a homemade pasta salad or potato salad.... They even take Apple Pay! read more

Coming from NY and spending a lot of time in NYC, I have eaten at some incredible family owned Delis. However, Treehouse Cafe is an absolute diamond, a 100 karat diamond to be exact. The ingredients are always extremely fresh, and the homemade goodies (potato salad, Mac salad, etc.) are always fantastic. The coffee is the best coffee around, you'd have to travel some ways to find fresher and more deliciously roasted beans. The affogato with local ice cream is superb. Every single order is made with love, and the quality shines through. If this wasn't already enough to convince you to come here, well, the family is the sweetest, friendliest, and most hospitable bunch I've had the pleasure to be served by. I've been coming here consistently for months now, and I have never ever been disappointed. In fact, the family and the food will only improve your day, and if you're having a rough one, a meal and a conversation here will surely brighten it up. I would recommend this place a million times over, and I'd take it over any NYC Deli experience I've ever had. The family and the quality of the food really make it stand out. It will be a sad day when I depart California to return to my home in NYC. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GET A SANDWICH AND AN AFFOGATO HERE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK TO IMPROVE YOUR OVERALL DISPOSITION ON LIFE. Thank you!!!!! read more

I absolutely love this place and all of its employees. The manager Rebecca is such a nice woman. It feels like home here. The food and coffee and everything is amazing! read more

This morning, after ordering my food, it was snagged by a lady who had ordered 10 minutes after me, even though I told her I was pretty sure it was my food. I gave my name to the counter worker, but they didn't use it when my order came up. So this lady opens the bag, opens my sandwich with her bare hands and the realizes it isn't her food. She takes it back to the counter and they just call out the order again. I went up and told them I didn't want that sandwich anymore, seeing how some random person has fingered through it. Oh, we will remake it real quick for you. Cool. But then I watch her take the same sandwich and re wrap it in new wax paper. Then she tries to tell me it is a fresh sandwich. Are you kidding? I won't be going back there anymore, which sucks, because it is 3 minutes from my house read more

Love this little place in Boulder Creek. Very friendly staff. The locals come here so you know it's great. They know folks by name. We always come for lunch. The veggie wrap and Sunflower are the bomb. Plus they have a case selection of Marianne's Ice Cream to top it off. You want be sorry stopping in!! read more

What an absolutely magical spot. A giant Redwood Tree is growing out of the center of this charming cafe. Gorgeous and peaceful setting with views of the creek and forest. The owner couldn't be sweeter. This place needs your help after Covid and the fires! Enjoy breakfast or bring a book and enjoy the view over lunch! read more

Beautiful coffee shop and restaurant that welcomes travelers & locals the same - a genuine smile and really good comfort food. My rec? Sit by one of the tables that overlooks the meandering creek. Some of the best coffee I have had in the Santa Cruz mountains. read more

Aria and her family are doing an amazing job helping keep our little coffee shop in the woods thrive. Just a pleasure spending time here.

AMZING SERVICE. I'm from out of town and this was the PERFECT spot for breakfast! Super nice and quick staff.

Come in occasionally and the employees are always kind. Decided to leave a review this morning after receiving a really delicious triple vanilla latte! I should have gotten their names but the girl working the register was very sweet and the young guy in the green apron who made my latte did an excellent job! Im a barista and I'm picky about my foam and the milk was steamed perfectly and the espresso shots tasted good as well. Thank you guys! read more

We had a wonderful experience at the Treehouse Cafe today! We walked in a few minutes to noon and were excited to hear that you can order from their breakfast menu all day! We ordered the avocado toast and added egg salad to it. The kind woman taking our order offered us a variety of delish sourdough options and we chose the rosemary basil sourdough! Our toast came out perfectly toasted and with the perfect amount of egg salad to tomato, cucumber, and onion ratio! I also ordered an iced oat milk latte with one pump vanilla and it was just divine! This was our first stop into the Treehouse Cafe and we will absolutely be back for a second (and third and fourth and fifth) visit! read more

I ordered a breakfast sandwich, well-toasted (noted on receipt). I was brought a breakfast sandwich on doughy bread. I non-confrontationally polite and requested a replacement that was well-toasted, and I was given a look of disgust; the doughy sandwich was tossed into a garbage can without a word. A few minutes later, I received a well-toasted replacement and no eye contact or apology. I thanked them for it, anyway. My other visits have been pleasant, despite the daycare center decibels,but It'll be a long time before I order another sandwich there. Guess it serves me right, expecting to get what I paid for. read more

We love Tree House Cafe! They make delicious coffee and awesome sandwiches (and breakfast sandwiches) they are also so friendly and helpful! We are luck to have them in our community! read more

Longest wait ever. One person was working and I understand how it is to work in food service alone but there wasn't any sense of urgency. She took everyone's order and didn't make any drinks until the line was gone, she must have taken about 15 orders before making anyone's drinks. I ordered an ice cream and the scoop was ridiculously small and charged me 3.25 for 1 small scoop. They need to look into better training and staffing. read more

Legit just found a fly in my mocha. Threw it out in disgust before I could take a picture. I want to like this place because of the location and how beautiful it is inside. But I will not be back. read more

Nice cozy place. Under new management. The coffee was great. Definitely check it out.

Perfect spot in town!! We were camping down the road and needed coffee to start our day. We went back 3 times over the weekend! Super kind and friendly owners & staff. The coffee and breakfast were perfect! read more

Treehouse Cafe - Breakfast sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Boulder Creek, California

What a great little spot! Good coffee. Although I did wait in line for quite a bit.. the customer service was pleasant and honestly, I didn't mind the wait because this place is adorable...with the huge redwood tree in the middle of the cafe. Definitely coming back on my next trip. read more

Treehouse Cafe is the *BEST* coffee shop in Santa Cruz County! Everyone that works there is so kind and the tea lattes are perfection (try the coconut creme or apple pie tea latte, u won't regret it!). With the stress circulating in society today it's nice to be able to have a local spot with a relaxing environment guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make you a soothing, comforting drink. :). read more

If you decide to go in there make sure you don't make the mistake that I made by asking for a pint of ice cream. The time that I tried to ask for a pint of ice cream, I got told off by one of the elderly employees who was annoyed by the very fact I politely asked. I won't be coming back to this business again. read more

Our family loves this little place! We are there every Saturday for coffee, breakfast and treats. They have books & toys available for kids to keep entertained while adults enjoy the forest view and the awesome tree growing in the middle of the establishment. The owner herself makes sure that you get what you ordered and barista Bell makes the best lattes in the valley. Annnnd they serve Marianne's Ice Cream!!! read more

Food and coffee were really good, service was super friendly. But I can't help but complain that the restrooms are closed to paying customers. How do you serve food and beverages and not allow restroom use? My child almost had an accident because we had to literally run around downtown to find a place willing to let her use the restroom. I get Covid and all but if you're open, serving food AND have inside dining, how do you deny your customers the restroom? read more

I always order a latte with no foam but time after time the cup is full of foam. If you can't make a drink without foam then I have no reason to come back. read more

The cafe food and staff are great best thing to happen to boulder creek! Very family friendly!! We love this place

Great food. Friendly folks. Awesome restaurant! The Cobb salad is out of this world as well as their sandwiches.

I have been in this cafe 2 times, both times the owner was very rude to me. I actually had considered applying to work there as there is a help wanted sign on the door. I asked to pay extra for some heavy cream in my coffee. The owner came over and told me HER cost of heavy cream, and she felt inspired to share other costs as well. I had not asked and was only politely buying a cup of coffee with cream. Offering to pay extra for heavy cream. I'm sorry that costs are a problem for you in your coffee shop, however, it is tacky to do that (tell customers the cost and be unfriendly) it does not help you get more business or great employees. read more

This place was amazing !!! The coffee (I got a white mocha) was amazing, one of the best coffees I've had in years (I usually drink at a lot of coffee places). I definitely recommend getting coffee here! I got a breakfast burrito and it was also pretty good, I love their salsa. I also talked to one of the employees there and she was extremely nice ! Even though the inside was closed they brought a table in the outside eating area for us to eat. On the inside they have a beautiful dining area with a huge tree running through the middle and a nice view of the creek. This place was overall 5/5 especially the coffee! I will definitely visit this place again !!!! Highly recommend. read more

Great spot for some coffee and breakfast, super friendly staff makes you feel right at home. Love it!

Great hang-out cafe! Good selection of coffees, teas, sandwiches, burritos (meat and vegetarian), for breakfast and lunch. A nice, welcoming space to hang out and work on your laptop for a while. Also family friendly with a play area for kiddos. Love the tables with view of the creek and the inside redwood tree. A funky vintage place and they've done a nice job of updating and cleaning up the space. read more
