Great drinks and amazing vibes! The staff are friendly, and I love the atmosphere here. My only mystery is how a small chai, listed at $5.50, somehow came out to over $8 pre-tip - I think there might be a mistake in their system. Still, I’ll be back for the drinks and the energy!

Best coffee ever. I keep meaning to try their matcha, but that lavender latte is too dang irresistible.

This place is awesome! Beautiful cart and run by friendly, local people. So far I've had both the latte and cappuccino and they were some of the best drinks I've had. They have professional grade coffee equipment like any good coffee shop and yet it's right on the cliffs…

5 stars because I love this coffee kiosk’s location and concept, and think it will be an amazing addition to Capitola !! Just a few kinks to work out. Opened August 1, at pleasure point Fridays and Sundays at the moment and at a soccer field on Saturdays. Serves Verve coffee…
