Crema's Take

This Santa Cruz original roastery has become a beloved local institution, known for drinks that consistently exceed expectations—their decaf lattes are particularly outstanding, and the quality carries through every beverage. The cheerful, spacious atmosphere and genuinely warm staff create the kind of place where you'll want to linger, whether you're overstimulated and need a calm refuge or looking for a Sunday evening escape when most coffee shops have already closed.

Weirdly delicious coffee. I'm a particular fan of their decaf lattes, but every drink I've had here has been excellent. The locations are fun and cheerful, and the staff are just great people.

Great drinks! 🧋🍵✨ I just wished they had sugar-free syrups, even just vanilla like Shrine Coffee has. The best part: There is a lot of seating and great atmosphere. If you get overstimulated like me, then soundproof headphones and good music helps. You’re also pretty close to the ocean if you want to take your drinks with you. The not best part: I sat there working on my book, but felt distracted whenever one of the staff members was flirting with their partner. Also, keep in mind, here, if you leave your car must leave with you.

This is the original Verve. Its 41st Ave location is lovely, small, and friendly. Locals might not know that there are many Verve Coffee locations in and around Tokyo, Japan. Each with a cool vibe. Look them up if you get to Tokyo!

Came here on a Sunday evening and loved that it was open late, especially rare for a coffee shop and on a sunday. I had a hot chocolate, flavor was rich and was piled with whipping cream, exactly what I was craving. The inside is gorgeous. There were lots of plants, cozy lighting, and the perfect ambiance for work, studying, or just reading a book. Staff was super friendly too. Parking is difficult here. Limited spots and mostly just street parking.
