  • 5/5 Vipin K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is unique coffee shop that goes well with the Santa Cruz downtown theme to avoid big brand names. We only tried different types of coffee during our visit and loved what we got. The oat milk latte had a very subtle flavor of oat milk and it enjoyed. The interior of this coffee shop has a unique decor and is well maintained. Would highly recommend to visit instead of usual coffee brand shops.

    Beautiful coffee establishment. I’ve seen these around the Palo Alto area, as well. Very clean and well designed inside. Coffee is super delicious. They have roasted beans to buy to take home, too. Breakfast food selection leaves some Tito be desired, but I’ll definitely be back again when I’m in town for a hot coffee or espresso in the morning.

    This place is a great spot to come for a coffee and breakfast, whether that is a pastry or a breakfast sandwich. While it was a bit pricey, the quality reflected the prices we paid. We would return and you should go!

    You need to like their coffee roasting style. Nothing to fancy or exceptional... But overall still very solid and tasty coffee. Barristers are good.

    I love Verve coffee so when I was in town I decided to go get breakfast here. Food was delicious and coffee just amazing.

    Didn’t eat here. Just one drip coffee cost $4 and a refill cost $3. The bathroom has absolutely no toilet paper. I was treated differently because I just wanted a plain drip coffee. Sure they were busy but I found that a staff member was rude and curt to me when I asked what a refill cost (didn’t know) and if I could pay at pick up spot. I had to wait in line-up and that’s when I found out refill cost $3. I’m Canadian and a senior so a young person being rude and curt doesn’t represent your coffeehouse. Santa Cruz on Pacific.

    If you are a coffee fan this is a must visit location in Santa Cruz The coffee shop is fancy and everyone is friendly Great coffee! We tried the mocha and honey lavender draft latte both equally good

    A good place for breakfast and coffee, but not excellent. The COCONUT CHIA PUDDING was good but could have a bit more berries or fruits as topping. The coffee was very strong, a bit too strong in my opinion. Could be a bit more milk for an espresso base that intense.

    What’s better than Verve coffee? Verve Coffee with Avocado Toast! I ordered the Goat Cheese Garlic toast with roasted tomatoes & ADDED Avocado to the toast! Most delicious & satisfying. This location is centrally located downtown with easy access points to get in and out easily. Ample meter parking & a free parking if u look for it. Large open & bustling space filled with people doing their own thang on the free WiFi. Lots of remote workers & tourists ducking in out of the rain. The coffee was a drip with cream! Always freshly roasted.

    Great atmosphere, delicious treats, good coffee. Try they chai latte (vegan version available), you won't regret it.

  • 2/5 Russell X. 1 year ago on Google
    Barrista forgot to serve my order for "here" and when I asked they watered down my tea. They also charged me a "Pacific Avenue Tax". All in all I had better expectations for this spot. Not a friendly move, now I will remember to add a +$1 or +$2 to their prices if it even comes up in discussion. I have been here 3 times total and to be completely honest the tip does not earn the service, the service should earn the tip. 😑

    This is a nice ,hip and casual coffee place in downtown Santa Cruz. It has space to sit inside and also some benches outside. Nice selection of coffee/tea offerings. The staff is welcoming. They have a restroom onsite for customers only, Overall a nice alternative to the chain coffee places.
