Peoples Coffee
930 Almar Ave, Santa Cruz, CA
Crema's Take
“This Santa Cruz spot brings a dog-friendly warmth to specialty coffee culture, where your pup might snag a treat while you enjoy a carefully crafted espresso or creamy matcha latte. Fair warning: they're committed to quality ingredients like oat milk and raw milk options, which some will love and others will question, but the team genuinely seems to care about both their drinks and their furry visitors. The vibe here feels genuinely welcoming rather than pretentious, even if opinions on pricing and ingredient choices run strong.”

Yummy coffee and they gave the dog a treat.
$1.50 for oat milk? You’ve gotta be kidding me. And raw milk is on the menu? No thank you. That comes with heightened risk of salmonella and e. coli, generally something I avoid when dining out. I appreciate the early opening time, but there are too many good coffee shops on the west side for these noncompetitive prices.
Love this place. Great service and delicious matcha!
