Mountain Roasting Company

Coffee is good, food is great, and staff is so kind! I got a breakfast sandwich on a croissant bun and it was really good. The croissant bun is *chef kiss* and the eggs on it were so nice and fluffy. My husband got a burrito and he enjoyed it as well. My ONLY suggestion is serving the sandwiches in paper like the burritos so that they’re easier to eat (the insides kept squishing out). Fantastic breakfast spot that will be my go-to when I’m in town!

My favorite coffee shop!! My husband and I come in several times a week. Not just for the coffee and food but the people! The family who owns the place are super kind, wholesome people. I always enjoy seeing them and you can tell they really care for their customers! If you’re looking for some good, strong coffee this is the place!

Excellent coffee shop and cafe. Excellent customer service, superb coffee, awesome ambiance and vibe - this coffee house is one of the best shops be been to and I’ve been to a lot! High recommend - especially if you love great, fresh roasted coffee!

Great place run by lovely local people. Bring some time, they make each drink individually and with care leading to wait times if there are a few guests coming in at the same time. Board games available, which is a nice touch. The “Rocket Fuel” coffee blend wakes me up like nothing else.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is an outstanding family-owned coffee shop and diner! The food is unique, original, and full of heart — including a chicken enchilada recipe passed down through generations. I loved it so much that I came four days in a row while finishing the final edits of a book I’m publishing. The people here are simply amazing — kind, thoughtful, and always serving with genuine hospitality. The food, coffee, and service are all top-notch. Hats off to Yvonne, Jason, Brianna, and the entire team for creating such a welcoming place. Absolutely love this spot! 🎉

My daughter and I love going to Mountain Roasting in Felton whether we stay or get it to go. We are always greeted with smiles and hellos and immediate service. The food choices are great, the coffee is delicious, and we appreciate the fact that it is super clean. They even have games for us to play while we hang. There are a ton of seating options and the owners are so nice and just overall rad people who have created the best neighborhood spot. They let my daughter name their plant, and always have stickers or goodies for her. We can't say enough good things!

In Felton for the weekend and Mountain Roasting become an immediate go-to. They’re open early, the bagels and pastries are wonderful, and the staff is friendly and so helpful. The coffee was amazing and they have solid alternative for non-coffee drinking friends. Highly recommend!

Everything about Mountain Roasting is amazing! The atmosphere, the food, the drunks, and the people. We make a point of going here every time we are in town. If we lived closer, I'd meet up with friends and play board games and spend some serious time here. Great coffee!!!

The new owners are amazing and they have created a wonderful environment to hangout and play games. The drinks are on point and they have so much to choose from. The food is also amazing they have a wide variety of pastries, bagels, sandwiches, and toast. One of our favorites is the SOS biscuits and gravy which is a special on the weekend.

Great family owed place. They have a large variety of drinks and food! I love the breakfast burritos and the lavender latte.

This is the first place in a shoot that made me feel happy when I left. The employees are courteous and helpful, the music is great and the atmosphere of all ages is pleasant. Great coffee, bagels and breakfast burritos are amazing! Ps they have mushroom coffee too! Love it here!

The breakfast croissant sandwiches were huge and so delicious. Coffee and smoothies were both 10 out of 10.

I got the hot dirty chai and it was so so good. At first when my lips touched the lid, the drink was sweet and chai tasting, but as it went down my esophagus it tasted more like coffee with a dark nutty taste. And the aftertaste was splendid. The service was great. Sad I’m leaving Santa Cruz, cause I’ll never get to have this again.

Best Coffee Shop in Felton! Mountain Roasting Company is Back and Better Than Ever! If you’re searching for the best coffee shop in Felton, California, look no further than Mountain Roasting Company. This beloved local gem has reopened under the care of Jason and Yvonne, and they’ve truly brought new life to this cherished community café. Their updated coffee and tea menu is incredible; always evolving with seasonal specials, creative drinks, and customer favorites. One standout? Their Strawberry Matcha Latte – it’s hands-down the best matcha drink in California! Jason hand-muddles fresh frozen strawberries with just a touch of sugar, creating a vibrant, flavorful drink you won’t find anywhere else. As a longtime matcha lover, I’ve tried it all, and Mountain Roasting Company is the only place around that makes traditional matcha the right way. I even mentioned a Banana Matcha Latte to Jason, and he added it to the menu! talk about responsive and personalized service! They also serve the best cold brew in the entire Santa Cruz area. It is rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. It blows every other local and Santa Cruz coffee shop out of the water. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and family-run – exactly what you’d expect from a true hometown favorite. The service is top-tier, and the owners go above and beyond to make every guest feel valued. Plus, they offer Apple Pay, tap-to-pay, and an easy loyalty rewards program through your phone number. Whether you’re local or visiting the Santa Cruz Mountains, do yourself a favor and stop by Mountain Roasting Company in Felton. It’s easily my favorite coffee shop in the area, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious drinks, friendly faces, and a cozy community vibe.

Having a local coffee shop is a must for my husband and I. When we first moved to the area, we decided to give this place a try and we’ve been going ever since. The owners are awesome and know all their regulars. Wide variety of drink options (coffee and non-coffee) and quick service. This is our go to spot.

Justin Cardoza

This is a phenomenal small business. My wife and I drive down from the mountain every weekend to get our coffee from here. The atmosphere is great, the service is friendly, and - most importantly - the coffee is good and strong. This is my go to coffee shop!

Discovered this place this a.m. Excellent friendly service. Lots of coffee options. And my blueberry muffin was fabulous - all of the baked goods would be, I imagine, as they all looked yummy. SO much better in every way than any of the big chain coffee places!

Good coffee, but poor service. We walked in and weren’t greeted or acknowledged, even though there was only one other customer inside. Three baristas were behind the counter, and it took over 5 minutes for anyone to take our order. When they finally did, the girl who helped us was rude and seemed annoyed, as if we were bothering her. Overall, the vibe just wasn’t welcoming. Despite the awkward service, the coffee and bagel were actually good. But good food isn’t enough to make up for bad energy. We won’t be coming back.

I used to love this place and looked forward to getting breakfast sandwiches from here. The service was slow and was one order at a time, but it had a personal old time service and quality that I liked and it felt nostalgic. Then new owners came, and it just kinda sucks now. The pastries all seam like frozen stuff from Costco or some other business supplier, and every time I've went im pretty sure the bagels were from the day prior (very limited selection). Im pretty sure they microwave the bagels for the breakfast sandwiches because they are always kinda wet and slimey because of it. There's limited ingredients available now too. I used to really enjoy some spinach in my sandwich. They have it in a quiche tho, but none for sandwiches? Ok, so i assume they dint make the quiche either. I just don't feel like this place has anything to offer. Like, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here anymore. Nor do I stop when passing by anymore. I tried it multiple times just hoping it was a fluke. Ohhhh, that the previous bagels were so much better. The Jalapeno was tip notch. That changed too
