This place is so unique and the owner is an ANGEL. Im so thankful to have this gem of a cafe (WITH FRESH BAKED GOODS EVERY MORNING) so close to my house. I never go to starbucks because this is cheaper with more options and better seating PLUS a big patio. Love love love love this place. Our community is so much better with small businesses like this instead of corporate cookie cutter places like petes coffee or whatever. Thank you to the owner who has provided a welcoming place for ALL who need a coffee and a break. I always recommend

Cute little spot super convenient if you're at the park nearby, it's like a 6 min walk. The staff was really friendly. I ordered the brown sugar latte. It was a decent cup. I also ordered the creame cheese and fruit toast. That was also okay. The bread wasn't toasted all the way. I would still, however, go back to try something else. You can't beat their service.

Wow the homemade bagel! A revelation. The creamy cream cheese piled high on the everything bagel was an experience I didn't know I needed in my life until the first bite. Now I'll dream of this bagel and long for it because we live out of town. Next time we are in the area we will be back for the bagel. It looked small in comparison to store bought bagels but it was mighty. Also had the chocolate croissant which was thick, very filling and yummy. Latte was good, very hot and had to wait a long time for it to cool down but classic latte. Service was friendly, felt very homey and like everyone was a friend or family member.

First time in and the staff were very kind and friendly! The coffee recommendation from Rowan was spot on and very delicious and the lox egg stack on a bagel is insanely good! They were super nice when explaining the menu to me. A lovely cafe with regular events/popups from the looks of it. Looking forward to stopping by again! :D

We visited Cruise Coffee Cafe while visiting Santa Cruz.The location is interesting because it is next to a bus stop area. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating area has a good amount of seating. The indoor area has toys for young ones to play with so that's a bonus if you go here with young kids. Cruise Coffee Cafe has a variety of coffee drinks and food options. There are fresh baked goods/pastries too. The cinnamon roll was very tempting but we decided to try their veggie frittata, an egg bagel sandwich, and a plain bagel with cream cheese. We also ordered iced mochas. The iced mochas were heavy with milk. It was hard to taste the coffee because there was so much milk and chocolate syrup. It reminded me more of chocolate milk and less like a mocha. I prefer more coffee flavor. The veggie frittata was filled with zucchini, yellow squash, and spinach. It was good, but not something I would get again. The bagels at Cruise are made in house so they were fresh and tasty. They do not skimp you on the cream cheese. The pastries and baked goods looked delicious. The espresso cheesecake would have been my pick if we were getting a sweet treat. If I were to visit again, I would try more of their sweet items. We had a nice visit to Cruise Coffee cafe.

First, this is a great hangout spot ! Lots of seating outdoors and enough indoors as well. They play great cafe music, so that's a plus. It can be sunny and warm in SV, so they have shaded outdoor seating as well as a couple of umbrellas, which you may have to hold down since the wind seems to tip them over quite often. I've had both sandwiches and salads here. Both were tasty. Everything seems fresh. Have had a pastry (apple crumb cake) - also good, albeit a little dry and not as flavorful as I expected. The service is very friendly and they aim to please. Only reason I can't go "5 stars" is everything is served in paper bags or cardboard containers. So your salad is going to be crammed into a small space. Can't find a plastic knife to cut or spread anything. Nonetheless, I'll keep coming back and hanging out when I have the time. It's pretty peaceful here.

The food here is delicious and very reasonably priced for the slightly larger portions that they give you. I love the vibe of this place and the staff were very kind. Definitely recommend this place for anything from a lunch spot with friends, to a quick dessert grab when you're in the mood for a sweet treat.

Food is good, the bagels are better than the toast, IMO. I think the bagels are made there, they're smaller than most bagels but taller and delicious. Bakery items are nice. The chai is pretty good, but coffee quality varies a lot. Drinks are called out at the bar, while food it delivered to the table. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. No music was playing inside when I was there, which I appreciate and everyone working was pleasant.
