“Amazing fresh bagels and homemade cream cheese, lots of options and toppings to choose from, both sweet and savory. Don't miss out on their wonderful homemade chai (which is made without sugar and creamer, and is self serve so you can choose how much of those items to add yourself).“
“The Starbucks at the mall was my favorite. But now that that one's gone, this is my new favorite. I like to come here late in the afternoon on my time off. The people here are always so nice and patient with me as I look through my wallet for exact change. The food is great if you're on the go and want a sandwich, or a sweet treat,I know you guys don't have a say in it but stop getting rid of my favorites XD I MISS the morning buns, chocolate chip muffins, and cranberry scones :(“
“Steamed mussels, grilled cod on salad, clam chowder, and fish and chips. Everything was perfect. Emily (or is it Amelie) who attended to us, was warm and friendly. The cod was her suggestion. The food came quickly, empty plates were cleared immediately, and the check arrived promptly. Open-air seating, dog friendly, it was a delightful meal. Thank you.“
“Eddie acknowledges you from the jump when you walk into his shop. There's a smile, a twinkle in his eye, and typically, a fun comment that makes you laugh and think, "how far gone is he?"And he is gone... he's gone deep into his passion which is both humbling and inspiring. He's taken an idea and Morphe(d)(us) his love of coffee into an amazing place to enjoy coffee and hang.He takes his craft very serious, but he's lighthearted as to not to come off pretentious, and if you listen closely, he's serving up kernels of truth alongside the best coffee in town.The only cons lie in the name, Coffee Conspiracy. which is a testament to resilience, creativity, and a sprinkle of wonkiness that makes you feel grateful not everyone has succumbed to corporate greed.“
“04.18.24 Service was great, the young ladies working there were friendly and helpful, thank you to them! Location, interior/exterior, decor, seating, lighting were all 5+ stars, such a nice large, laid back environment to sit and work on your computer or for chat/get together w.friends.Now the bad; the hot Americanos were terrible. Tasted watered down, had a slight salty aftertaste. Thankfully did not buy a bag of beans from them.For amazing coffee we like Black Oak Coffee in Ukiah or Peet's in Scott's Valley. Avoid Starbucks as their beans (except for Blonde) is too bitter & acrid.“
“A an amazing spiritual place next to Monterey bay. Chill out after 11am Mass and listen to the ocean 100 yards away.The garden used to be more spectacular in the past but still is nice.Book store has reasonable prices along with the drinks.“
“Prepare yourself for mismatched porcelain, plush seating, and a playlist landing somewhere between hip-hop and house music. This is the kind of cafe for the young and restless. The Cuban and Vietnamese influence isn't superficial, either; both heavily inform the cuisine on the menu. As someone who typically walks into a cafe looking for a croissant to go with my coffee, I'll sit down with a noodle bowl bigger than my head at Mariposa.Vegetarian options: Mariposa has coffee in the title, but I love coming here for their vermicelli noodles. The owner tells me it's really a deconstructed version of their spring rolls, both of which are vegan. My favorite beverage on the menu, the Vietnamese iced coffee, would not translate well with a vegan substitute for the milk, but other vegetarians would enjoy it. And hey. Listen. Flowers just make things taste better, alright? They run out as the day drags on, but if you get there early enough, the Mariposa Coffee Bar has ice cubes with edible purple blossoms in them.“
“River Cafe is this small glass-walled cafe with lots of outdoor seating. It has cute decorations inside and is centrally located near shops and close to downtown. I went there for coffee and tea with my family after lunch, but we will definitely be back for the momos (dumplings!) because those look FIRE! The service was super friendly and professional too! River Cafe may have to be in my family's restaurant "rotation" because we love dumplings!“
“Delicious soy golden milk! Perfectly spiced. It can be hard to find a non-caffeinated, warm beverage that fits the rich and creamy bill. Sweet, old time eclectic Santa Cruz vibe as well, and was provided very helpful and knowledgeable service by the individual at the register.“
