Crema's Take
“This Santa Cruz roastery is a bean lover's treasure trove, offering an impressive rotating selection of single-origin coffees (think Ethiopia Harrar, Tanzania Peaberry, and Guatemala dark roast) that locals swear are among the best they've had anywhere in the country. While there's no café seating to linger in, the knowledgeable staff make the experience feel personal and welcoming, and the reasonably priced, freshly roasted beans—especially standouts like the Redwood Rush and chocolate-forward Moka Java—are worth stocking up on whenever you're in town.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program.

I am drinking a very yummy espresso from their beans right now! They don't have a coffee bar but it's a great place to buy quality, locally roasted beans at a good price. Friendly, knowledgeable, no long line. I wish I'd come in here earlier!
