"The coffee has a great and distinctive flavor that is robust without being too “tangy” or too “dark.” The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed. The service has always been friendly and still efficient. It’s obvious why People’s has been around for so long. What caught my eye today was the game section which is neatly kept and located in the alcove behind the bar near the restroom and ATM. It had a number of interesting games including some that are locally created."

"The place had a very nice atmosphere, the interior was very cozy. The people who worked there were very friendly. The only thing we were slightly disappointed in was that the picture of the coffee on google were very different in the reality"

"Terrible! Avoid at all cost! I went to this place for the 1st time this morning. I waited at the counter with only 1 person in front of me for 10 minutes. After that person ordered, the counter clerk went to make his coffee. No one else stepped up to take my order. The only other worker was in the side room (probably taking a break) talking to the only other worker making the previous customers coffee. No one said anything, especially like, "we will be right with you". I was completely ignored for another 10 minutes waiting to order 1 simple cup of coffee. I walked out, never to return. Bad service with a "we could care less" attitude, looses customers! Enough said!"

"Seriously the best black coffee in Santa Cruz. It’s so good you don’t need cream or sugar! Forget the new and trendy, this local standby is seriously the best for flavor. Everyone who works there is also super friendly, including the owner."

"Hands down the best Pho bone broth! Better than any pho restaurants I’ve been to. I heard it takes 3 days to make the broth. A true labour of love. Their post-workout shakes are amazing too!"
