Wonderful place to grab a coffee,tea,ect and have a yummy breakfast.I got the black forest ham eggs Benedict.The employees are friendly.There is street parking and parking lots in the back of the cafe

The best. atmosphere, lighting and jazz are super great. Coffee is wonderful and the Hosting by Miles and Edgar top notch. Can’t be a better place in Santa Cruz. Outdoor patio is a secret cozy Gem.

Food + drink was incredible, just felt so bad because each time I went in there was only one employee managing the register and making every drink and sandwich. Because of that, everything took 30 minutes to come out— the guy had admitted that he had forgotten our drink and served 5 other people’s food before us, which I don’t blame him since he has to find his own flow between making everything and managing the line out the door. Would’ve minded it less if I was actually staying in the cafe instead of waiting for a togo order, but nevertheless the ambiance is beautiful.

Lucrative drinks offered like tisanes, teas, and damn good coffee. I had a cacao hot chocolate with heavy dose of whipped cream. Yesterday I had a bowl of soul, and the honey latte 🦦🤌🏽❤️‍🔥chefs kiss*. The staff and atmosphere will keep me coming back for as long as she exists.

This place was a whole vibe. We went early in the morning on a Saturday and they had jazz music playing and the team members were all so kind and helpful. It had a very rustic, industrial yet European vibe that reminded my parents of home. The food quality was top notch and fresh! The Whiskey Latte was amazing as well.
