"Great coffee, friendly environment with lots of indoor and outdoor seating, Wi-Fi, and a nice environment to study or chat. Part of the nearby church but you don't have to worry about it being uncomfortable in some way because of that, they seem to do a good job of being very welcoming and chill. This spot has an abundance of space which is very nice. The food I tried was nice too but I only had a little bite so I can't review that too."

"I’ve come here before for the cherry vanilla latte which was a 5 star experience, I fell in love with the place. I made it a point to visit the Abbey again today as I was in Santa Cruz, hoping for a great cup of coffee. I took it to go and as I took a sip when I hit the road, it was SO sour. Like preground months old coffee from the grocery store sour. Also the sweetness of the blueberry vanilla latte was NOT balanced out like last time, so it was insanely sweet and sour. I figured it out halfway thru - there were literal grounds of coffee on the bottom of the cup, i don’t even know how grounds can possibly enter an espresso shot. Basically they rly messed up on this coffee. I hate to post a bad review for such a lovely cafe but for charging $8 a drink, this consistency is unacceptable"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Abbey in Santa Cruz is truly a gem. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcomed—they are professional, courteous, and attentive to every detail. The atmosphere is unlike any other: peaceful, beautifully clean, and filled with artistic touches that create a warm and creative environment. Whether you’re there to relax, connect, or simply enjoy the space, you always leave feeling uplifted. It’s rare to find a place that combines such excellent service with such a unique and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!"

"Lovely atmosphere and ambience. Got a mocha and an iced matcha latte and they were both great. Matcha was perfect, not too sweet but also not too bitter. The food was also delicious. Plenty of seating options both indoor & outdoor. Will definitely be coming back here soon!!"

"Such a vibe! One of the coziest cafes I have ever been to! I will make it a point to stop here everytime I come to Santa Cruz. Plus the staff was super friendly and wonderful to talk to."
