11th Hour Coffee

Love everything about this place. The atmosphere, the drinks, the food, the plants and also being dog friendly. We especially loved the raspberry mocha, the green bee, and the breakfast biscuit. Can't wait to go back on our next visit to Santa Cruz

Very nice coffee shop cafe with lots of plants indoors, very nice and hippie vibe, nice and friendly staff. I liked my latte a lot and the pastry tasted very good esp the earl grey cookie was fresh and tasty. Stop by on your way to Santa Cruz or Monterey for lots of delights. It felt like a hot spot for the students to get their works done.

Bath in Santa Cruz sun with brunch bowl, avocado toast, cappuccino and iced oat latte, def makes it a perfect Saturday morning! Friendly staff, full of greenery in the house (also for sell), cozy vibe, spacious backyard patio. No wonder it’s a popular place in the area.

Great breakfast and brunch place. Definitely recommend the goat cheese arugula toast literally the best toast I have ever had. A very healthy cafe with really nice seating areas and servers.

My first visit to Santa Cruz in years and this was my first stop of the day. The baristas were super friendly and my drink was prepared quickly. Great seating inside and outside with lots of plants. The Salted Caramel Latte was executed perfectly my only complaint would be that it was a little salt heavy. If I’m ever back in Santa Cruz again I’ll be stopping by here. 4.8/5.

Very yummy and beautiful aesthetic inside and out! Got the ‘Green One’ breakfast biscuit which was incredible! And a zucchini cheesecake muffin that actually was cream cheese frosting on a zucchini bread muffin that was slightly dry.

Chill vibe to study/work or hang out at!

Living in Arizona, I truly enjoy spending time at coffee shops, where I indulge in writing about various life topics. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of discovering this hidden gem during my monthly Cali trip, thanks to a friend's recommendation. Every time I visit the Bay Area, I intend to return to this delightful place, as its ambiance is perfect with lush greenery, adorable items for purchase, and the incredibly warm and charming staff. I cherished the experience of savoring teas, buying plants, and getting lost in a good book at this wonderful spot. Coffee shop lovers, assemble!"

Cute and chill vibes in this coffee shop. We got the iced honey bee latte, iced green bee, and mushroom mocha. Also got the breakfast biscuit and pumpkin cupcake, sadly they ran out of the zucchini cheesecake.

Everything was really good! The chive biscuit was amazing, texture and taste were perfect. The flavors on the green bee also complemented each other really well.

Lots of people working and hanging out. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a lot of plants everywhere 🌱

Been looking for that local cozy coffee shop to chill or work or (fill in the blank) and this is definitely it. Finding parking and a table can be challenging but when you do everything will be right in your world. The Golden milk chai was delish! Had some issues connecting to their internet but just used my hot-spot no problems. I hear there are chicken sandwiches around here at night? 😋

We stopped here on a drive past santa cruz and fell in love with the spot! My mom and I loved how it was filled with plants and so many places to sit. Looks like the perfect place to study. I had the “iced green bee” with oat milk and it was DELICIOUS. matcha flavor could be a tad stronger but i am picky with matcha and it was amazing. The cortado was really good too. We tried the burrata toast and loved the combination of the balsamic and warm burrata. A refreshing alternative to avocado toast! Although a bit expensive it’s the same as most cute coffee shops these days. Would definitely come back!

I had both decaf and regular espresso drinks. Both are very smooth and flavorful. I prefer a simple latte with almond milk over their more complicated espresso drinks. Matcha drinks are wonderful, probably the best anywhere. This cafe is beautiful. There is a dumpling place and a bar connected to this place. Highly recommended to try chicken gyoza and noodle soup there.

It was the most beautiful day in Santa Cruz. The outside seating is my favorite part of the cafe right off the bat. I loved the entrance, the wide open airy doors. The shelves were beautiful and their coffee packaging was some of the favorite I've seen in a while. And the cortado? So absolutely delicious. Loved the quick and friendly service. The cortado art was on point! Thank you, 11th hour for serving up one of my favorite experiences in these last days of summer.

Such an amazing coffee shop. Definitely one of the best coffeeshops I have been too, and I have been to a lot thorough out the US and abroad. The atmosphere, the space, the quality of coffee drinks, plants and especially coffee is great.

It is great spot for getting some work done but there is not enough outlets.

Great coffee, great food, great vibes. Visiting from Whistler BC and this was our first stop in Santa Cruz, as we’re always in search of the perfect coffee. We loved the goats cheese on toast, gluten free cardamom and rose cake and perfectly made oat flat whites. We got the last table left available, which shows how popular it is. Watch out for the strict parking enforcement on the road outside, we saw many cars get tickets. Better to park for free around the block. Also picked up some great second hand clothing items at a large Goodwill situated right next door!

This place is awesome - just hands down one of the coolest coffee shops I've seen in Santa Cruz.

Good:
Tons of space to sit! I liked sitting in the outdoor booth - it was very aesthetic - just a bit sunny.

The avocado and almond butter toasts were both super good - expensive and small portion sizes, but tasty.

I also enjoyed the honey bee latte - great level of sweetness and a really nice warm drink as we sat in the sun.

Bad:
Takes a while for your order to get out.

Overall, this place just makes me feel more relaxed - I really enjoyed the feeling of chilling here for an hour or so.

Let's see, amazing coffee, amazing food. Amazing atmosphere. Plant shop! Bar! Oh my!
These guys really know what they're doing when it comes to coffee and blended drinks. The atmosphere is so beautiful and cozy and relaxing and you feel like you're sitting in a jungle. There's outside seating and indoor seating. There are two 11 hour coffee shops in Santa Cruz and this one is by far my favorite because of the atmosphere of the plants and the warm wood interior.

Good drip coffee. They have a good ratio for their matcha latte. Plenty of mixed seating. Lots of sunshine on the back and side patio.

I love this coffee shop!! Raspberry Mocha and goat cheese arugula toast are my favorite!! ❤❤❤

11th Hour Coffee is a cute local cafe in Santa Cruz. Really liked the buzzy atmosphere as it was full of young students. There’s a plant shop and a souvenir corner inside the cafe. The body oil that they were selling smelled super nice. They have both inside and outside seating. As for the drinks, they have good varieties of Coffee, Chai and Matcha drinks. The Golden Chai was tasty and spicy. All syrups made in-house. They also have biscuits until 15:00. Would love to try it next time.

Really charming coffee shop downtown. The place looks beautiful. The succulent gardens spread around the coffee shop give the place a nice and cozy feeling.

Their coffee is superb too. I’m a fan of lattes and cappuccinos and this guys know their way around those. Their food options are really good too. They take a step ahead and offer more than the usual pastries you see around. Tried one of the avocado toasts and loved it.

Friendly staff and good service too.
