★★★★★ 5.0 Jess M · Oct 2025

5 stars because I love this coffee kiosk’s location and concept, and think it will be an amazing addition to Capitola !! Just a few kinks to work out. Opened August 1, at pleasure point Fridays and Sundays at the moment and at a soccer field on Saturdays. Serves Verve coffee as well as delicious matcha. Incredible views and location— truly can’t beat it !!! My new favorite spot in Capitola. Love the happy hour — $3 lattes for the first hour they’re open each day. Such a great idea. Bring your own mug to avoid the 25cent cup surcharge! Only hiccups are, staff needs some fine tuning. I was given the wrong drink on each of my three visits now, with no offer to remake it, and no apology nor explanation, despite their acknowledging the mistake. I was also overcharged two of those three vis

Great drinks and amazing vibes! The staff are friendly, and I love the atmosphere here. My only mystery is how a small chai, listed at $5.50, somehow came out to over $8 pre-tip - I think there might be a mistake in their system. Still, I’ll be back for the drinks and the energy!

This place is awesome! Beautiful cart and run by friendly, local people. So far I've had both the latte and cappuccino and they were some of the best drinks I've had. They have professional grade coffee equipment like any good coffee shop and yet it's right on the cliffs overlooking the water, can't ask for a better combination.

Best coffee ever. I keep meaning to try their matcha, but that lavender latte is too dang irresistible.
