Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting

One of the best coffee shops in Santa Cruz and many good choices. My fav is the Ethiopian light roast.

Nice ambience. Baked goods and bagels 🥯 looked 👌 😍

I'll be honest- I only come here for the brewbar pour overs. They have an amazing selection of coffee blends and single origin beans.

This location is often very busy, but they have a quiet study area with a door that closes if you want a bit less noise.

They do ask that you make a purchase every few hours so you're not just taking up a seat all day with a small coffee. But that rule makes sense given how busy the downtown storefront is.

Highly recommend this place. Their coffee is really good and is available at the local grocery stores. The staff and service are great. The cafe itself is a good study spot and meeting place; if it gets too loud there's a small study room across from the counter.

I just love this place. Every time I'm in Santa Cruz I make a point of getting a cup of coffee here. I love how knowledgeable the baristas are about coffee! I like to have them guide me to a choice depending on what I'm in the mood for. Cozy and comfortable. A relaxing, friendly place to hang out. And the coffee is awesome!

I love coming in here for the atmosphere and the baked goods. It was always nice to study here when that was an option. Their drip coffee is very bitter, I prefer their espresso drinks.

Addiction! They have the best coffee! I ascend to heaven every time I taste their strawberry white mocha latte with oatmilk. Seriously, you must try if you're in Santa Cruz county.

Whenever I'm in Santa Cruz, this is a "must-do". Great organic fair trade coffee.
Try Heart of Darkness

I started coming here recently after Peets closed downtown and I love it!! I wish I had started to be a customer here sooner. Fast friendly service, good food, and coffee. Love love

It's a nice coffee shop insofar as they have a wide selection of tasty beans, but amenities are lacking. Outlets are few and far between, and the Wi-Fi is sometimes unusable. I'd avoid this place as a study spot; otherwise, come here for a solid cup of coffee.
