Me and my wife went in as first time customers and first visitors to Santa Cruz for her birthday. We decided to stop here for a quick coffee before our NHS tour but didn’t even get greeted at the door but the girl that came in behind us was greeted immediately. When we asked about if they serve a Vanilla latte the response was “not really”? What. She did say they have almond milk but what kind of response is not really and we decided to pass it up and when leaving no one said a word, have a good day or anything. Just frustrated us a first time customers, didn’t feel welcomed.

I love this place, but it seems to be going down.
The quality is not what it used to be.
The girl taking the orders was asking what kind of milk did I want with breve cappuccino.
I had to repeat several times that it was for here.
I asked for a breve cappuccino and a latte, but still got two cappuccinos (one was breve, at least).
I asked for one with a single shot and another double shot, I could not tell which cup had more coffee.
The coffee itself is ok, but just ok.
This is sad.
Verve used to be exceptional, especially thus location. I think they have been on the way down since opening the Palo Alto location.
Monetizing the success, apparently.

Food and coffee was nice. Had to wait pretty long for the bathroom though. It still gets me that I have to order at the counter and the machine asks me for a tip, but that is a different problem.

I see verve all the time in the store and I’ve gone to this coffee roasting business before the staff is very knowledgeable very cool and chic dressed. It seemed to have a younger clientele who I assumed to be students at the university. The location is fantastic. It’s right downtown walkable to many places it’s bright. They’re a little things that you can buy while there, as well as coffee that you may not be sold in the stores.

Great vibe and great coffee. In a fun area with a great little bookstore next door.

Walking around downtown Santa Cruz and decided to stop here based on the reviews . What a nice spot – big airy with wood and plants . But the best part was how good the coffee was ! We had the missile which is their house syrup with half and half. And decided to try a pastry – it was so delicious! Worth every penny – do stop by if you’re in the area !!

Just stopped for coffee here. Yes, just coffee because its so good. The ambience inside is tropical and calm because of the greens. There is almost always a line, so little bit wait until coffee arrives. Their coffee is smoother than any other that I have had in the bay. The BEST!!

Huge space with lots of lovely plants and wood tones. Friendly staff and delicious coffee. Vibrant space with people reading, working off laptops and families as well. We came around 5pm and wanted to try a sandwich but kitchen closed at 3 so will have to head back to try it next time

Nice coffee shop. Stopped by and decided to try the one + one. It’s a shot of espresso with milk and one without. The coffee is really good, the bathrooms are clean. We didn’t get any food but the avocado toast looks amazing.
