I got the maple pumpkin iced latte and it was so delicious!! The service was fast and there is tons of seating indoors, as well as some seating outdoors. This is a great cafe to study at or hang out with friends.
A nice coffee place as well as they sell their roasts. They selecrion of their coffee (beans) are quite wide. They have single origins as well as blends. Service was attentive. I got answers for the beanse they were selling. And, got enough time to decide prior to purchase

This is my favorite coffee shop in Santa Cruz and I try a lot of coffee shops up and down California. They have lots of different coffees and coffee beans to sell. Don't let the homeless people scare you away as they never bother me and are usually respectful.
Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting is the GOAT Best drip bar coffee in Santa Cruz. They roast their own beans and sell many different blends by the pound at reasonable prices those who like a good cup at home Highly recommended the Santa Cruz Dark blend!! If you haven't already, stop by and try a cup
