Norma Jean's Coffee

Came here after reading the reviews and this place did not disappoint. The breakfast burrito (w/ ham) was delicious, as is the salsa that accompanied it, too. Coffee (dark roast) was perfect. Great place. Great atmosphere. Locals frequent this place often, which says a lot. Friendly environment and budget friendly.

This was my first time at Norma Jean's. My coffee was good. Took it to go. Saved most of it to enjoy at home.

Skip the Starbucks across the street and treat yourself to real coffee and excellent customer service. Support your local businesses, this place deserves your patronage!

Fabulous place for coffee, Tea, delicious pastries and such a nice ambiance with a friendly staff. Come and say hello to the owner Cathy. We are from Whittier, California and we would love a place like this in our area. We always try to support the independent owners.

Sweet little spot, charming & welcoming. Great pastries & coffee 🥰

Great customer service! I order a chai tea and didn’t know it was the spicy one. I wanted it sweeter. So they took care of me. Also the breakfast croissant sandwich was very good. Fast home made.

This cafe has a beyond casual vibe and decor which is a throwback to the overly comfortable environment of yesteryear when you went out for coffee to socalize and relax. The coffee is good. The pastries are home made. The service is quick. There is wifi. You can sit inside or outside. The outside seating is a big plus if you just finished a run or mountain bike in Nisene Marks State Park. This is the antithesis of the urban chic of get it and go. Go here if you enjoy spending time with your coffee and friends, or you just want to chill after your run or ride in Nisene Marks.

support your local coffee shop! the owner is a fantastic human being and has been my neighbor for years. when Starbucks opened up across the street, I was worried that people were going to stop going to this gem and only frequent the corporate coffee place.
I'm glad to see it's still open. they have also been offering aid and pay it forward type things for people who've been affected by the fires in the Santa Cruz mountains.
I would always get a white mocha when I went here, best white mocha in Santa Cruz. if you're heading to Nicene Marks or driving around aimlessly and you end up in Aptos stop here for a cup of coffee or a latte and maybe a pastry. if you're hungry they have burritos as well.

First morning of a 6-day stay in Aptos and I was looking for a friendly little cafe to have some light breakfast and coffee. Boy have I found a home. Cozy seating space, great selection of baked goods and self-serve coffee refills. The light roast I chose was full and very flavorful. Proprietor was friendly and attentive. Did I mention the self-serve refills? Thumbs up!

Best scones in the world! Great coffee and food. The scones make me happy!

Love this coffee shop and their gluten free orange/cranberry muffins! Owner Kathy is so friendly, as are her ALL of her employees. Bonus: old, squeaky screen door w/jingling bell. ❤

Best coffee shop in Aptos!! Originally owned by Paul Newman's daughter, resold a couple times and now owned by a wonderful, super hard working woman who actually bakes all the baked treats which are all really good...!! It's a down home Aptos local kind of place. It's not a chain, not corporate. It's a real, sweet, good little coffee shop that serves coffee and breakfast burritos, bagels, pastries and snacks. They even make cheese sandwiches in a brown paper bag if my daughter forgets her lunch at school... Nice folks. 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

Great coffee, ALL PASTRIES, STEELE CUT OATMEAL, TAMALES MADE IN HOUSE by Kathy (Owner). Cinnamon roll is best I've ever had. Blueberry danish to die for. I have no idea why people go to Starbucks across the street.

One of the few places I will drink the coffee. Their salsa is awesome. I go for the bagel sandwiches. Burritos are good. Wish they would add omelettes. All-in-all, a good meal for under $12

I love their Cranberry Coast smoothie and exotique selection of teas. All their pastries, sandwiches and other foods are housemade with super fresh ingredients. They have, by far, the best carrot cake. Norma Jean's goes far beyond the trendy new Cat and Cloud that opened a few doors down. Buy local!

Great Aptos location w/excellent breakfast burritos & scrumptious pastries like morning buns and muffins, quiche and fresh fruit. Delicious coffee drinks too. Highly recommend!!!

Couldn't be more satisfied with this place. Good selection of breakfast foods and drink, all at reasonable prices. I wish this was my neighborhood coffee shop.

Owner home bakes the pastries every morning and they’re amazing! I love this little tucked away coffee shop. Best place to study and great coffee.

Coffee and pastries are always on point. I also never have to worry about my kids getting burned from the hot cocoa it is always just right. Absolutely love coming here.

Norma Jeans is the best coffee shop in Aptos. Don't go anywhere else! They have great coffee, tea, and delicious food. They bake most of the pastries themselves, and make killer breakfast burritos.
