Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting is centrally located downtown on pedestrian friendly Pacific Ave. It gets busy on Saturdays when many merchants participate in sidewalk sales, and music entertainers offer impromptu street performances. If one is not sitting by the front windows, the interior of the coffeehouse is a bit dim for some tastes. During our visit, the interior was crowded and filled with human chatter, no music. There was limited seating even at their communal tables. However, a small patio out front is a better option for studying, relaxing, or people watching. The staff was friendly and efficiently handled extensive multiple orders smoothly. During our visit, there were 6 people behind the counter working in concert keeping up with drink orders. The teamwork was impressive. Our Matcha Latte and Blackberry White Mocha were perfectly made.

Love the coffee here. They drip each cup of coffee individually so the coffee is fresh and delicious. The person taking my order was very helpful patient and extremely friendly. The cafe itself was okay.

This is the best place for coffee in Santa Cruz. It's been awhile and I miss it. Everyone was nice and friendly. I can't wait to be able to come back. Great experience.

I found myself in desperate need of a coffee and treat on a Saturday afternoon and stumbled upon this place after unsuccessfully trying to get coffee at many local cafes. I thought the donut and coffee store directly across the street would sell coffee but oddly enough, when I ordered a coffee there, they said they sold out of coffee but they said they still had some cold drip coffee left in the machine from the day before they would sell me. Uh, No! Anyway, that's a different story! Went to Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting instead and I immediately loved the ambiance. Everything you could hope for in a local coffee shop! Lots of seating, art on the walls, dim warm lighting, and friendly/relaxed staff. The kind of place Peet's tries to emulate. In terms of coffee, they have A TON of options! I'm not a coffee expert, but I frequent a fair share of local coffee shops. I've never seen a store with as many options as this! Dozens and dozens of various roasts, probably about 30 different syrup options, and tons of milk alternatives, many of which I didn't even know existed. The staff member taking my order was extremely friendly and made me feel very welcome. I also got a chocolate chip cookie and my fiancé got a slice of chocolate cake. They have a significant food selection, probably about 3-4x as large as your typical Starbucks food display. We didn't get our food to-go so they have it to us on very cute little ceramic dishes. The food was great and the coffee was even better! My only complaint, which is honestly a good thing, is how busy they are. Located right in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz, it felt like a bit of a highway in there! Super super busy. However, that is a good sign and shows that the community loves this shop! I'll have to visit on a cold rainy week day and enjoy one of those corner tables with a warm coffee. Highly recommend!
