Still a great place for coffee and breakfast even after the pandemic. Always my go to spot for pre-dawn surf patrol. Well worth the stop.

Very good espresso. Easily rivals other coffee shops around town. Great beans selection. I consider it to be the best coffee shop in Scotts Valley and Felton

Lovely little coffee shop in Scotts Valley with delicious coffee, delightful pastries, and friendly baristas. They knew their regulars well, which is always a good sign. They had a lot of food too, not just coffee. They serve Lulu Carpenters coffee here, which I had never had before, and their espresso was very nice, bright, bold, with a hint of berry (to my taste buds at least).My wife loved her latte with whole milk, which she usually sweetens but didnt and still really enjoyed. Her breakfast bagel was also very good. My cappuccino was bright, the espresso strong, and the oat milk (Oatly Barista) paired well with it. I also ate a Lemon poppyseed with lemon curd muffin which was really nice and moist. Such a lovely way to start the day.Highly recommend checking it out. Plenty of outdoor seating too. Followed all Covid guidelines.

The store was super cool. They roast their own beans right there. The drinks were tasty and the pork empanada was phenomenal. Definitely going to stop in whenever I head back that way.

They include a seltzer water with their espresso, which is how the real pros do it. Which made me super happy. Also they are just kind people.

One of the best oat lattes Ive had... and the most expensive. Worth every dollar. 5 stars!

Nice place. There is a large tea selection. The vegie burrito was delicious.

Some of the best coffee Ive ever had. Hands down some of the best.

Solid place. Probably the best option in the immediate area to set up your laptop and do some some work for extended periods. Offers tables as well as comfy chairs if you want to read or just chat with a friend. Rare to find a place with both options. Service was great! Overall not that exciting of a space in terms of character though. Java mint chip blended beverage was tasty and all the great milk alternative options too!

Nice coffee and excellent service.Beautiful aroma from coffee flavours inside.

Premium gourmet coffee in strip mall. Clean. pleasant staff. MuffinsHey this place is understaffed, one person does everything, but does it wellBarista, busser cashier emptied trashShame 🙄 on you

Old pastries. Fake orange juice. Pricey and their chai latte tasted like water. Don’t waste your money here

For a cuppa latte and a danish this is a nice spot to go. Big big cups with saucers filled with your favorite coffee. Nice sweets to pair. Small espresso was perfect.

I Love Coffee!!So driving to Santa Cruz and had a craving for coffee so yelped this place and seemed like great reviews. Decided to check it out. Parking out side was a breeze. Plenty of parking available. Walking in the store has a nice coffee smell. Everything in the shop looks clean and professional and organized. Felt like a homey coffee shop.There was a group of 7 of us and we all got our own special coffee. For the 7 of us the barista did a very fast and accurate job and even made foam prints on our lattes (unfortunately forgot to take a picture). I personally got the coconut syrup hot latte and my fiancé got the same thing but iced. The quality of the drink was acceptable.1 small downside. Not sure if they dont provide it or if they just didnt have any when we were there but they didnt have any hot cup sleeves. When I asked she kindly offered a second cup which was nice.Overall expensive was definitely a 5 Star. And if I ever catch myself in this area again. Will be coming back

Ordered mint mohito on a hot day. Not what I was thinking. The mint extract leaves a strange taste and texture on your tongue. Would try something else. And its $6..

Excellent coffee! Premium price for premium quality. Are you worth it? The food is hit and miss, so I just stick to the java.

Hot chocolate is basically luke-warm milk. Nice enough ambience

Phenomenal coffee experience. Roasted on site brilliant full flavor.

The people were very kind and helpful from the moment we walked it. We ordered a bagel sandwich and egg bites along with our coffee. Everything seemed to be homemade. Tasty food, great coffee and kind service gets an A in my book. Thank you coffee cat!

The coffee is fine, and the food is pretty good.

Great place. Great service. Awesome and friendly staff.

Great coffee (better than the welll known chains..) & service with a smile (see pics)!

Best coffee Ive ever had. Full stop.

Very nice little coffee place in SV. Id give it 5 stars if they did a better job of roasting their beans - what I had was baked.

Really nice great place for coffee

Americano and a biscuit. Both were simply ideal. Quality comes at a cost.

Great place to hang and do some work. Good vibe and the music selection works for me. Best new found place for me.

Incredible espresso. If i were a local i would most likely be here 24/7. Friendly, Friendly, Friendly is what the personnel was. Great place keep it up. will be back for more of espresso.

Nice local spot, local business. Friendly customer service. Relax environment coffee, treats, tea and decaf available. Wifi available. Lots of people doing meetings, study, work and telecommuting. Good tasting coffee. Yiu can bring your own cup for your beverage if you are inclined.

Great little coffee spot in a good location. Good coffee, food and service. The food is a little slow if youre in a hurry but its better than what you get at most coffee spots so Im usually happy to wait.

Fast and friendly service. Clean interior. Tasty food and most importantly well made espresso and espresso drinks. Coffee Cat is part of Lulu Carpenters, a long-standing local company which has several cafes in Santa Cruz. In my experience they have been making excellent coffee for decades. Their shops may not be as big or modern as some third-wave cafes but the coffee is just as good...and perhaps a bit less expensive as well. If youre headed in or out of Santa Cruz and want good coffee off of Highway 17 check out Coffee Cat.

Make the best soy lattes EVER & the staff is ALWAYS friendly. Contemporary interior; alwaysclean. Free latte w purchase of reasonably priced quality 1lb club-roasted coffee beans: great man-gift. Upgraded food choices last year: awesome bacon-wrapped egg with goat cheese! I always leave with 2x peanut butter/ choc swirl cookies; never a problem (note: we stop here 1-2x/mo).

Service and food was horrible.

Nice atmosphere and comfortable with plenty of seating. Its too bad the coffee is awful. I drink 2-4 cups a day, from 7-11 and Folgers to Black Rifle and Philz, and I always finish my cup(s). This is one of the few places Ive left my coffee unfinished, its that bad.Otherwise its a pleasant experience with nice staff and a decent spread of quick bites.

Quiet and clean spot. Food and coffee are tasty and the staff is friendly. Prices are fair.

Great coffee

Very chill cafe with delicious pastries and good coffee. Strangely their take out decaf coffee is not good but if you drink it there its great.

Great local coffee shop/roaster! First time in and the mocha was excellent (not too sweet with a nice savory chocolate flavor). I look forward to trying some straight coffee next time to see how their roasts taste!

Cool Cafe! Excellent, excellent oat milk vanilla latte! Pastry was delicious as well. Barista was sweet, friendly and informative.

I stopped in here for a hot second. My coffee was delicious and the store was recently remodeled so it was nice. I would definitely come back and sit down.

Coffee was warm perfect drinking temperature one i got it. Which is fine but by the time i actually got my food it was cold. The coffee was good just wish it had been warmer. Food was also pretty tastey for the price though i could have gone to a restraunt.I will give this place another try at some point but after today i think the place across town is much better.

They had lavender!!! Yes! Frothed to perfection, beautiful pour and great color on the espresso! Very nice place!My only concern was that the steaming wand had burnt milk on it and the steaming pitcher had dried up milk stuck to the side. But hey the flavor was good! And theyre better than Starbucks!

We stop here every time we drive to Big Basin Redwoods State Park to camp. We always get the Honey Hazelnut Latte. The coffee is fabulous and they have amazing pastries. Its definitely worth the detour!

Friendly Staff and great coffee. Relaxed, quiet space - just right. A hidden gem. Worth finding.

I sadly misjudged Coffee Cat for many months and titled my nose as I drove past to visit Starbucks and Peets for my regular coffee & work sessions. But thankfully the coffee gods did not give up on me and recently guided my vehicle to Coffee Cat.Boy have I been missing out! Upon walking in I was excited to see a very spacious seating area with nice wood tables and way less people than the other big-name coffee shops. They even have power outlets along the entire wall for all those seated along it - amazing! The wifi is also very good and the bathrooms are decently clean.And to my even greater surprise, they have a Clover!! I love coffee pulled from a Clover, always my first choice if available which is rare. Their other coffee selections are also very good and the ladies really know what they are doing behind the counter. They also have a great food selection with healthy, authentic ingredients. And if that isnt enough, Safeway is right next door - very convenient.Overall, I am very impressed with Coffee Cat and have directed all of my coffee funds and work sessions here. Thank you CC!

Coffee is really great. Service is not so great.Out of 5 visits, 3 times I waited more than 20 minutes for my order of one single item. 2 of those 3 times, my order was lost and forgotten, then made after I had aleeady been there too long. Great coffee. Not worth the wait.

Excellent coffee and service! Ill definitely return as often as I can!

I like this coffee house. Good coffee and food. Relaxing atmosphere.

Probably the best coffee Ive had in north county. The beat part? The coffee wasnt volcano hot like most places make it so I was actually able to drink it then and there

Just an awesome place to stop in for coffee and a decent amount of quick food to eat... Good burritos /kinda fancy but definitely good.

Great place for coffee drinks, tea, and small meals. Nice people to wait on you and free wifi.

Coconut latte with extra coconut oil. Best thing I have had anywhere!

The music was way too loud to focus on work or reading if you’re interested in staying inside. When I asked if the music could be turned down the cashier said yes but then never turned it down. Plus the coffee is overpriced.

☕

Great value for brunch, biscuits and gravy were delish! Eggs Benny poached perfectly, delightful staff

Cappuccino $4, artistically topped with a flower of poured milk. Several tables occupied by people working laptops.

That wonderful soul tea will keep me coming back! Deeelicious!!! Plus, relaxed atmosphere, excellent meeting place.

I drive from Santa Cruz to make it out to this spot. Great for sodiumStudying and quiet. The coffee is awesome and great service. Plus plenty of parking

Great coffee spot. Love their menu and food. Truly recommend

I love coffee cat. They always seem to have the friendliest staff and the best atmosphere. I keep going back.

Great little coffee place. Very friendly service and tastey breakfast. Was great for a grab and go on our way to Big Basin.

This is my go to coffee shop. I love the staff, the atmosphere, and the coffee. They can make coffee practically any way you like it, and their food is fresh and delicious. My only complaint is that some of the seating is not very comfortable, but that is just how goes sometimes.

Love this place the coffee is smooth and roasted there at the shop.

Coffees great service and speed is about as slow as a snail so I hope youre not in a hurry to actually do anything with your day or have a life besides sit in the coffee shop for 15 minutes to get one regular coffee

This is good place for coffee and breakfast 😀 worker is so friendly, I need to look someplace like this in vegas

I always feel like the baristas are nice and welcoming. They always greet customers as they walk in and really love their foam art. Great coffee and really good muffins and goodies.

Cute coffee shop. Lots of room to sit and chill and they have some good food to snack on such as sandwiches and pastries.

Good morning coffee and special food options you wont find anywhere else.

Good, but pretty pricey.

Best coffee in Santa Cruz county. Roasted there and super helpful owner.

Love this place to get some work done, enjoy rich delicious foods and snacks, coffee and teas!

Best damn coffee in Santa Cruz. Seriously overtly flavorful beans for home brewing. And the baristas make espresso drinks quite well (where as many good roasterss product is best enjoyed made at home in the Chemex).I absolutely love the 1 and 1.I also havent received the stereotypical pretentious attitude often given at high end cafes.

Been in a couple times... Not the best, not worst. Id be willing to given them another shot, since Im local.

This coffee shop has a great local feel, good proprietor, great staff, and good coffee. Been a regular customer for years...

Great coffee. Lone barista was overwhelmed with orders.

Non-coffee drinks are subpar, but the pastires are great. Get the ham and cheese croissant warmed up

A little pricy beverage wise eggnog latte small $5.75. but good with a lot of nutmeg.

Local roaster. Consistently good espressos. Try the bacon egg goat cheese things. Amazing.

Excellent and friendly service. Great breakfast burritos.

Best espresso and cappuccino in the county! Nice baked goods and nice space, too

No WiFi. Weak coffee. And someone took my breakfast after it was heated and put on the counter!

Great Place for coffee!☕ and Goodies!

I love this place. Best coffee, calm atmosphere, happy baristas.

Best coffee Ive had in a long time. Modern space, a little sterile of a spot but my coffee was so good I would definitely come back again!!!

Good coffee and atmosphere, but the pastries seemed a bit old.

I was happy with the roomy atmosphere, lots of places to “hunker down” in peace and quiet and do things on the Internet.I can’t locate a workout by phone # tho and left my keys in there by accident and I live, and am home now, in Utah.

Great coffee! Not too strong/bitter.

Best coffee in Scotts Valley. Goid service. Fast wifi. Nice ambience.

Great strong coffee, good snacks, & fun merchandise like hoodies, & coffee cat coffee mugs!

Always worth a visit when Im staying in Felton

Always friendly staff and decent drinks and treats. Also, biscuits and gravy??? A+

I love Coffee Cat, I have been going there since they opened.

Baristas are sweethearts, coffee isnt bad, atmosphere is quiet

Love the Chai here. Nice blend of spice and sweet.

Always a great experience here. Im addicted to the bacon wrapped eggs.

Buy a bag of freshly roasted coffee and I mean freshly roasted and you will get any coffee beverage for free. Love this place.

When i went therebwas barley aby options, and there food tasted...

Both services and coffee were great.

Good coffee, FRIENDLY friendly staff. I live locally and every time I have come in I have a good experience.

Friendly local coffee shop serving good coffee. Fun cat theme and very friendly baristas.
