Crema's Take

“The Abbey is a genuinely cozy Santa Cruz sanctuary where the staff treats you like an old friend, making it the kind of place you'll find yourself returning to again and again. Their specialty drinks—like the perfectly balanced iced matcha latte and cherry vanilla latte—are crafted with real care, and the sprawling indoor and outdoor seating makes it equally perfect for lingering over work or meeting a friend for unhurried conversation. It's the rare cafe that nails both the coffee and the soul of a space, wrapped up in a warm, welcoming vibe that keeps people coming back.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

Lovely atmosphere and ambience. Got a mocha and an iced matcha latte and they were both great. Matcha was perfect, not too sweet but also not too bitter. The food was also delicious. Plenty of seating options both indoor & outdoor. Will definitely be coming back here soon!!
