Cafe Delmarette
1126 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz, CA
Crema's Take
“This Santa Cruz spot is genuinely beloved for its pastries, especially scones that inspire years-long loyalty, and offers a thoughtful selection of pour overs that justify the trip for coffee enthusiasts. While the espresso-focused menu is a bit hit-or-miss and the space can feel cramped and dimly lit, the warm, genuinely nice staff create an inviting atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back for slow, intentional coffee sessions.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

I dont know if its just the two drinks me and my girlfriend got but this place taste wise was extremely disappointing. The atmosphere and workers here are extremely nice and definitely makes you believe that you’re about to get good tasting high quality drinks but despite the…

Seems like they have fallen off since the manager lady stopped coming in. The baked goods are increasingly uninspiring, the service increasinly unpleasant and aggressive. Some individuals more than others. Its seems like a big party for the employees every time im in there. They…
The coffee was OK. Nothing memorable for their drip. They do have lots of options so perhaps others are better (or worse). The grilled cheese sandwich but extremely greasy. The chips with it were homestyle kettle fried and very oily too. Maybe other dishes are better or less…
I can’t really say enough positive things about this place. We have been getting scones for years from here. To say these scones are the best in the world is still not doing them justice. You almost have to throw away all prior expectations and mental models of what a scone is…
We were searching for pour over around the area. So glad to find this amazing little spot with a good selection of pour over! $4 each and they tastes so good. Great service. Friendly staff. Price is on point. Cozy vibe and nice outdoor tables to let you enjoy your drink and…
