This 11th Hour is large and has lots of space to study and hang out, regardless of its outward appearance. They have great customer service, cute merchandise, and delicious coffee. My wife picked up a hot decaf Vanilla latte with Oatmilk. It was smooth, though she wished it was a bit more intense in the coffee department. Not necessarily a big complaint because we understand what it takes to water process decaffeinated beans. A hot Raspberry latte with Oatmilk was PHENOMENAL!! Definitely will return.

Place is close to downtown Parking is easier to find than the downtown Very cute vibe. Its in a shared area with a bar, a sandwich place There is indoors as well as outdoor seating Got the honey bee latte, flat green. Both were good The conflicted hippie drink wasn't good though

Lovely atmosphere inside! Plants and small items to buy like merch, crystals, coffee beans. Matcha latte with soy was so good and frothy! Iced green bee was a bit too sweet for my liking and the lavender syrup slightly confused my tastebuds but still good!

Such a cute spot. Plenty of natural lighting, plants everywhere, ample seating, and fairly quick service - this place seems like a great place to hang out or study. I got the Cherry Vanilla Latte!!! Initially, it tasted pretty good. However, after a couple sips it had the after taste almost to that of cherry chapstick :( I would opt for other drinks if I were to come by again. I took a sip (or two) of my boyfriend's salted caramel latte and that was pretty good! Perfect balance of salty and sweet. Overall, this place is super duper cute inside that I'd for sure come by again. I would definitely like to try the other drinks they have to offer!

Absolutely amazing cafe! When you first walk in, there is so much natural light, plants in the wall, and an amazing pastry case with mouthwatering baked goods! There was a line out the door, so you know it's good. The line moved quickly though, and we were able to place our orders. We ordered the brunch bowl and the breakfast biscuit (both highly recommended by the nice person behind the counter). The brunch bowl was visually beautiful, and the perfect sized portion. Each ingredient was so fresh, that you could taste each individual element come together to form the complete flavor! It was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the Apple Pie Tea Special, which was pretty good. Very harvest season vibes, and nice to sip on. The cashiers that rang us up was super friendly! They had great recommendations, and was just straight up super kind! The cafe looks super small on the outside, but is actually huge! They have outdoor seating in both the front and back, as well as plenty of seating on the inside. They are pet friendly as well. As for decor, all of the green and beautiful artwork from local artists (which is available for purchase) make the cafe feel welcoming and gives off a happy atmosphere. Perfect for solo breakfasts, study sessions, or catching up with friends. We loved coming here! The quality of the food is top notch, the flavors are amazing and so unique to Santa Cruz, and the price point is not too expensive. We definitely will come back when we want a light, fresh, and delicious breakfast.

This place is the perfect mix of aesthetics and study vibes. Though I wasn't there to study, my friend and I were looking for a well-known spot in the area, and this place did not disappoint. I tried the special Crème Brûlée Hot Tea, and while I could definitely taste the hint of crème brûlée, the flavor was a bit too unique for my taste. It was an interesting drink, but not quite for me. That being said, the vibe of this place is everything. The greenery and cozy seating create a peaceful, semi-quiet atmosphere which is ideal for both taking pictures and getting some work done. Definitely a great spot if you're looking for both good aesthetics and a relaxed environment!

This is a review for their honey lavender matcha and iced matcha latte! Honey Lavender Matcha (hot): 5/5 This is a delicious matcha with subtle notes of lavender and slightly sweet but not too sweet. The matcha is rich and the aromatic flavor of this is so yummy! Matcha Latte (iced): 2/5 I unfortunately have tried their iced matcha lattes twice and have been disappointed both times, the latte is very watered down, I taste more of the milk then I do the matcha which is not a good sign. Overall I will come back primarily for their hot honey lavender matcha!

Super cute shop! Parking can be difficult to find but if you don't mind walking a couple of blocks, definitely check this coffee shop out. I love the vibe and aesthetic of the shop. It's giving nature and earth. Ordered a hot vanilla latte and it came out within minutes! It hit the spot especially from my long drive from San Francisco

An amazing space for the community. What I love about 11th hour is that it has a happy, bustling environment and they have something for every time of day - so it's an awesome spot to hang out a while. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely space inside with lots of plants. I found outlets to be plentiful and wifi good. In addition to the cafe, there's a bar that opens after hours! So you can seamlessly transition from coffee to beer without even moving. Coffee is great. Food is pretty good. My latte was very nice, a hair pricey, but I didn't mind since it was good and I sat there a while. Good selection of pastries and food. I had the brunch bowl and it was tasty but could have been more filling. Overall a really wonderful place. Come hang out, work, whatever. It's a great space for it all!
