#1 Best Coffeehouse (Readers' Choice)

402 Ingalls St

The Westside cafe sits on Ingalls Street near the coast — a quieter space than downtown, with natural wood tables, a garden patio, and a neighborhood that tends to stay. The bar runs the full 11th Hour menu, and the team here knows the coffees well. New releases tend to land at this location early, and the staff is fluent in the sourcing and processing details behind what's on the bar. The roastery is just down the street on Delaware, which means the coffee you're drinking was roasted close by and recently. The kitchen runs through mid-afternoon. Open seven days.

"I had the Santa Cruz Fog here and did some light reading! Absolutely love the vibes here too! The ambiance is warm and inviting. The perfect place to sit and chat or work. There’s also outlets and plenty of different types of seating both indoors and outdoors."

 Sonya H.

"11th hour has great coffee and a really cool cafe! There’s tons of seating and the outdoor area is really nice and a chill atmosphere. Recommend if you’re in the Santa Cruz area and want a place to hangout with friends or do online work."

Abigail S.

"The coffee is fantastic — nutty, rich, and smooth — and they have a great selection of beans you can take home to try. Their raspberry mocha has an exceptional raspberry flavor. The food was somehow even more impressive than their drinks."

Sonya H.

"No words can truly describe how gorgeous this place is. Other cafes need to start taking notes. Indoor plants and plenty of natural light are a must. It opens up the space and makes it feel so inviting. The baristas are very friendly."

"If I lived in Santa Cruz I would be here ALL the time!! Beautiful, greenery-focused ambience with lots of seating. My matcha was great and so was the service. Shoutout to our barista Jenny who was super friendly and very skilled!"

"An amazing space for the community. What I love about 11th hour is that it has a happy, bustling environment. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Lovely space inside with lots of plants. There’s also a bar that opens after hours!"
