Surf City Coffee Co

Surf City is one of those places where you can always count on for a big smile, a hot cup of coffee and a good experience. Try their 16oz. Creme Brulee latte- a decadent choice of vanilla and carmel, with a dusting of chocolate shavings and drizzled warm carmel. Avoid this place though from between 3:10PM- 4:00 or so since that is when a line out the door of schoolkids form- all looking for their daily Hang 10- a classic for this coffee shop. Blended, this drink is the perfect tonic on a hot day- a creamy mocha with an added shot of espresso helps the day go by quicker. more

I have always had a great experience at Surf City. Not only are the coffee and desserts excellent, but the service is as well. Servers are always friendly, and there is a very comfortable atmosphere. Now, when I say best coffee in Santa Cruz County, let me say that I have been to every coffee shop and this coffee has far surpassed my expectations. Their very best drink is the blended ice coffee drink called Hang Ten. In my opinion, this is the best blended mocha I have EVER tasted. I have been to several different coffee shops in California, and I always try their blended mocha. This is the best! They have their own mocha powder, which makes this drink much better than any ordinary coffee shop could ever make. Be sure to try their cookies. I recommend the molasses ginger snap. It's a perfect combination with the Hang Ten. Second best is the Peanut Butter Hang Ten. more
