Stopped in on our way through town and I will be thinking about their chai spiced oats for a long time! I wish I lived nearby because this would be my go to coffee shop. Service was great, food was delicious, coffee was yummy. Highly recommend!
After living in Europe for 3 1/2 years, I finally found a coffee spot in the central coast that fits the vibes and has quality coffee and espresso! When I say quality, I’m tired of getting a cup of coffee or told I have an espresso martini that does not have espresso in it because they don’t have a real machine. This spot had the cutest colors, great amount of space and made me a dirty chai that I can’t wait to have again!
Both the cortado and capuccino were very good. It’s a really pleasant space and the service is friendly.
The BEST cappuccino — and Gluten Free scones served by smiling welcoming staff. Friendly, inviting, open, airy, spacious with indoor/outdoor seating. This inviting cafe with unique artwork is right at the Aptos train station. Can’t wait to return! Thank you for the great start to the day!
Absolutely excellent coffee, service/staff, sitting areas, and the avocado toast was delicious. My favorite coffee bean is “The Answer”, but I have yet to be disappointed with any of their beans! This really is top tear beans and the best place to go for coffee connoisseurs. This time I’m trying their “Ethiopia” beans. I got a Matcha late, which was absolutely decadent, no need to add anything to it. The staff was incredibly helpful in helping me pick a new flavor and explained the flavor profile of each different bean in detail. They have Wi-fi available to connect to and tables to sit and work at. Everything was spotless and kept very clean. I had no problem finding parking. I highly recommend this coffee house to those who are looking for a really good cup of coffee, great environment, and experience. This place is truly a gem in Aptos. I will be coming back here as often as I can!
Good Coffee isn't easy to find despite the prevalence of shops. I appreciate the management of this business. I've been to aptos and 3 santa cruz locations, all of which have not disappointmented. It says a lot about who is hiring, what they look for in the people they hire, how and what they teach know employees, and the standards that they expect and so on. I feel this experience is well worth the almost 5 cup. I appreciate all the staff for all the love they put into their work.
I love this place. The coffee and food is exceptional. I really enjoy the avocado or everything toast. All employees are very kind and have great personalities. The ambiance is wonderful.
First time visiting this cafe after a referral from a friend and listening to the podcast! Did not disappoint. Every detail from the first step into the cafe is intentional. Employees are personable, relaxed, friendly and lighthearted. Layout is spacious, aesthetically pleasing (both with color coordination and branding), comfortable. Many different seating options and an outlet at every chair. Ordered a cappuccino and the breakfast burrito. Well priced, high quality tasted in everything. My boyfriend thought the burrito was slightly sweet in a good way and thought there was brown sugar in it, but I’m pretty sure it was cumin cooked in the potatoes—either way, a homemade cooking touch. The store’s baked goods are sourced from manresa bread and look amazing. Matcha is in pure powder form, not a sugar-concentrate, and there is seasonal pumpkin spice as well to add to the traditional European coffee offerings (caffe au lait; flat white, etc.) From the easygoing and accommodating staff to the durable to-go cups, lids, and napkins, to the clever logo and branding, it’s easy to see how they’ve opened 3 stores within a few short years and I look forward to returning for study days whenever I’m back from San Diego!
