Cruise Coffee Cafe - Scotts Valley, California

What a fantastic little hidden gem cafe. Great for a quick stop or to wait for a bus. The selection was wonderful, and the scones were delightful.
With homemade items and knowledgeable great service, it is a definite place to return to. Everything looked and smelled delicious.
I also appreciated how clean it is.

Had to wait a little. But I was in no rush. I got the mile high bagel sandwich, blueberry muffin, and latte. Everything was delicious. The sandwich looks small, but it was super filling. The bagel tasted like it was freshly made. It was soft and airy and nicely toasted. Very delicious! It's definitely worth the wait. Love to support local cafes. This one is in a quiet part of town by the bus station, and there's a library across the street. Not too much car traffic on a Monday morning.

I think it depends on what you’re expecting. If you’re here waiting for a bus, it’s a great place to grab a coffee. However, we came after the wharf to wharf race (6 mi.) and were hoping for a tasty and hearty brunch and were sorely disappointed. The bagels were tiny and undercooked. The toast was thin sliced toast out of a bag. The avocado toast had about 1/8 of an avocado on a single piece of bread. They don’t have any prices on the menu, but don’t like it when you ask how much things are. The outdoor seating is decently nice and there’s plenty of parking. Overall wouldn’t really recommend for brunch. I think there are better places around here.

Cool vibe, good coffee, yummy bakery items (the lemon cheesecake was delish). The staff are friendly and helpful. But if you’re looking for a typical American breakfast, this probably won’t satisfy. I had the breakfast burrito as a bowl (no tortilla). It didn’t seem fresh, the scrambled eggs were firm and dry, the bacon was diced versus crispy strips. The cheese was stuck to the paper tray it was served in. It was more like a microwaved tapa than actual fresh-from-the-grill breakfast. The savory toast was good, but it too was more like an appetizer. It was a simple slice of toast with prosciutto and arugula…not bad but underwhelming. I think as a bakery, this is a great choice. As a satiating breakfast spot, it missed the mark for me.

Cool coffee shop with indoor and outdoor sitting. Tried latte and scones -both were good!

Don't sleep on Cruise coffee! This local shop is super cute, has delicious locally roasted coffee, tasty homemade bagels, and also sells really cute items by local artisans as well as delicious bakery items!

Some favorite bakery items I've tried include: their cinnamon rolls, lemon cheesecake, s'mores pops, cupcakes. They also bring in vegan treats as well from another local vendor!

Right next to the Scotts valley Metro station It makes it convenient with lots of parking.

Check out their website for special events like cruise coffee or their barbecue holiday celebrations!

And, how can you not love their logo?

Lastly the photo in this review is of my maple caramel frappe that they let me customize☕

Super cute drive-thru location right off the highway. They do great breakfast burritos here, and the pastries were great too! We tried the almond croissant - so good! Super friendly staff, and there is even a walk up window if you don't want to drive through.

The barista mentioned Radiohead! The POS/window employee did a fine job of mentioning the Café business. Also, their espresso is nice and rich, not bitter. If you are in a bigger vehicle, you may have an issue making the 180º turn, but the service, caffeine are worth it. Don’t forgo a tip. Hook them up!
