Beautiful cafe with selections of coffees, teas and matchas. Cozy and warm ambience. Outdoor setting just by the road absolutely adds to the experience.

I honestly cannot name a better coffeehouse than 11th Hour Coffee. This spot has everything: outstanding selection of coffee beverages, delectable breakfast options, spacious outdoor/indoor seating, and tons of parking in the surrounding area. It is a perfect spot to get a cup of coffee, study, do work, or just to catch up with friends or/and family. My favorite items off the menu are the Raspberry Mocha, Cheddar Chive Biscuit, and the Original Avocado Toast.

The iced green bee (matcha with lavender syrup) is out of this world good!! Also their hot lattes are phenomenal! The foam on them is probably the best I’ve ever tasted!

What an amazing spotThe perfect atmosphere to get some work done and enjoy a latteExcellent energyLoved the chai lattesA few negatives:- the chai is un-caffeinated & when the server asked if I wanted it caffeinated, she didn’t say with coffee. That needs to be clear. Most caffeinated chai is with black tea, not as a dirty chai- the matcha I ordered tasted like milk, little to no flavor of matcha- they don’t seem to have enough cups, cutlery or plates for “here” orders

I love this place. My favorite study spot. It's an eclectic atmosphere, great for hanging out with friends or quietly reading or doing homework. I love their lattes, their food always tastes so fresh, and their garden is lovely (but I wish they would get their outdoor outlets fixed!!!) Staff is also ALWAYS friendly and helpful. Keep it up, folks <3

A cute coffee nook near Santa Cruz downtown. They’ve got some delicious drinks and plenty of seats if you want to hide out here to do some work

Some seriously good coffee and a fantastic space. The reason why I'm rating here 4 stars instead of 5 is because I do think there can be improvements in timing and how they manage the (justifiably) long line. It doesn't take too long to order, but it does take a while to get your drink(s). Getting a table or space isn't too bad, especially if you're willing to get outside. Everything is worth the wait, just be aware that there is one if you're planning on coming through.

This place is awesome - just hands down one of the coolest coffee shops I've seen in Santa Cruz.Good:Tons of space to sit! I liked sitting in the outdoor booth - it was very aesthetic - just a bit sunny.The avocado and almond butter toasts were both super good - expensive and small portion sizes, but tasty.I also enjoyed the honey bee latte - great level of sweetness and a really nice warm drink as we sat in the sun.Bad:Takes a while for your order to get out.Overall, this place just makes me feel more relaxed - I really enjoyed the feeling of chilling here for an hour or so.

Great coffee (incl non-dairy options) and matcha tea in a cozy atmosphere. Quite a bit of comfortable seating indoors and outdoors.

Great coffee shop, good music and lots of plants. Also lots of seating, does get quite busy with people doing computer work.
