Ambiance
Anna F.

Beautiful Cafe, and matcha was great. Employees were kind. I do think 10 dollars for a 12oz matcha is kind of steep but good nonetheless

Americano and avocado toast with egg

My picture is what $25 will buy you I got the avocado toast ($14) and added a poached egg ($2). It usually comes with chives and didn't today (no discount given lol). It was very delicious and so filling. The americano was so good as well ($7). The ambiance here is both busy and relaxed. There's seating at the bar and then a bench with a couple tables.

Stopped by for a midday snack and drink, pleasantly surprised! The same morning I visited another verve coffee roasters, but didn't realize there wasn't a kitchen at that location. Food & drink: I ordered avocado toast and bowl of soul aka london fog. Not only was the avocado toast aesthetic, it tasted very delicious! Perfect amount of salt, pickled radish paired well with creamy avocado and the red onions added a nice, spicy sweet flavor! The bowl of soul was exactly what I needed on a windy day. The sweetener used tasted like honey, not too sweet and subtle!

Verve Coffee Roasters is a whole vibe! The interior is beautiful. It's clean, modern, and full of natural light. It's the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and enjoy your drink. I ordered the iced blueberry cold foam matcha and it was so unique and refreshing. It was sweet, earthy, and perfectly balanced. I also tried the vanilla latte and it was smooth, not too sweet, and just the right amount of vanilla. You can really taste the quality in every sip.

What a hidden gem. Decided to head out to Capitola to hang out with some friends and they knew all the spots. Coffee was great. Perfect mix of flavor but I just got an original latte. My friends and I were craving some pastries so we asked the girl off the counter of what each pastry was and she took her time to explain them to us. The best pastry that they had that we found that was really good. Was the goat cheese croissant. We almost bought extra ones take on the same day but we did come back the next day to buy some more when we left. I don't know what it is but it is great. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. The place is decently sized. There is standing room and sitting room and outdoor seating. If it's a nice day I would suggest to sit outside since it doesn't get too hot.

Located in the southern end of Santa Cruz this Verve location is very good. I ordered a Flat White and a Ham & Cheese Croissant which were both excellent. The coffee rich & smooth and the croissant flaky and flavorful. My son had the Cappuccino which he enjoyed as well. The barista that took our order was very friendly and even though the shop was fairly busy the drinks came out quickly. As for the shop itself the atmosphere is airy & relaxing with high ceilings, lots of plants and plenty of seating. The surrounding area is filed with shops and plenty of street parking. Definitely my favorite Verve in Santa Cruz :)

A friend recommended we stop at Verve Coffee Roasters on our way out of the bay and we were so glad we did. The drip coffee was fantastic! It was Fathers' Day, so the place was bustling. We didn't end up ordering food, because they had sold out of a lot of items, but the coffee still hit the spot.

They use single origin light-medium roast beans at their coffee bar and sell bags for home, too. I only use their beans at home. Their quad-shot latte with whole milk is banger. Ps. If you're a pseudo coffee lover who is more interested in killing the coffee with burnt (dark roast) beans, pumps of vanilla or pumpkin syrups, etc, this is not your jam.

Lol I would always wing it and never take a picture of their store hours either! So I'm sure it was operator error! I am so happy for this particular brick and mortar because the first time I met the owner was on a bicycle on West Kliff or maybe East not to show I used to walk a whole thing during the pandemic! He was a really cool gentleman selling coffee on a nice looking bike and everything was clean, cut! Their menu items have changed and I'm glad he got more coffee companies to collab with! I loved my Stimulation Theory- it was smooth and had great frothy flavor with the perfect accent of cardamom! Everything within the Cafe is black and there a lot of joint seating areas. Granted when I got there, the individual spots were already taken. I sat an area meant for a larger group. I also enjoy the death metal music, grated it was played at the normal coffee shop volume level. Hee. So I've never actually HEARD that style of music at such a low decimal level, so it actually was quite comedic to me. At the same time, I'm glad it wasn't super loud like other rock shows I've been to! But still very much a vibe!! I can't wait to go back and try other drinks and pour overs that they have!! I can't wait until they get pastries or some sort of pop-up since I love my carbs! Hee

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.

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. The two cashiers were really nice and everyone just seems to be on the best chill vibes. I will definitely save this place and return in the future. Their specialty coffees look delicious and are just my vibe and I can't wait to try them when the weather gets colder.
