Cafe Ivéta Downtown

Had such a great night with the girls, the wine and food are delicious. Special thanks you to our server Ed.

I've been a BBV wine club member continuously since 2009, and I have enjoyed seeing Bradley's wines evolve with time. I was sad when they closed their old tasting room in Saratoga, but I've always enjoyed visiting the estate winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I enjoy the winery so much, I only visited the Santa Cruz tasting room for the first time today, Easter Sunday. I loved the space (much roomier than the old Saratoga venue), and the food menu. The wines are excellent as they always have been, and the service was outstanding. Sarah (Sara? Sorry I didn't catch the spelling!) was my gracious hostess, and she helped make my tasting and club shipment pickup a real joy. If you're looking for great wines, small plates, and company in Santa Cruz, stop by the BBV tasting room for a treat.

Customer service amazing.Christina was very well informed and educated about the product she sells and all employees very attentive. Can do a custom wine flight for only $24.

We had a great time on the cozy patio with Ed! Definitely try the pinsa and the Grenache!

I went in there to do some work alone and I'm so happy I chose that place to do so! Beautiful location, atmosphere,vibe and service. Everything I had was light,crisp and fresh and the sweet staff member treated me very well 🥰 100% would love to visit again.

Love this place!! It has everything you need for a fun afternoon. The rosé is lovely, and we always get the beef empanadas because they are INSANELY good. The location is great, and the service is friendly, attentive, and laid-back in the best way. We always can’t wait to go back!

Katherine Lee

Such a cozy place with decor. My favorite thing I had the night I visited was the Genovese flat bread! I am a big fan of wine, so means a lot when the food doesn’t leave my mind at all tasting room. I’ll be back!

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon to relax and enjoy a bottle of wine. Kristine was out server as we sat in a quiet corner relaxing for a couple of hours. Local wines are good in a flight or just enjoy by the glass or bottle. And don't forget to bring a bottle home.

Erica Ortiz

Such a cute place to go wine tasting, the ambience is amazing! My friend and I sat by the fire and enjoyed all the delicious wine! Ed was amazing and knowledgeable. We’ll be back!

Breanne Gallagher

Love this tasting room-amazing wine, great vibes, and super attentive and knowledgeable staff. Shout out to Ed who makes every trip memorable.

Emma Dewees

We’ve now been to both the winery in Boulder Creek and the tasting room in Santa Cruz. The ambience at both is wonderful. The tasting room has great food and a beautiful outdoor space for our dog. Ed is always great, friendly and super attentive. Highly recommend all the wine, but especially the Grenache!

Monica Ifland

Everything about this place has us planning our next visit. Decor inside, gas fireplaces outside and amazing wines and food. You do not want to miss Juan’s empanadas. We had the Syrah and the Viognier which were both excellent. Sean is also such an asset to the entire vibe. His hospitality is enough to return weekly. Thanks for the amazing date night setting.

Renee Fini

Great location for the tasting room. The actual vineyard is very beautiful. The wine is superb. Great value for members, otherwise tastings are pricey. So become a member and enjoy all the perks. They have a great selection of vinyls to listen to which gives the place a great vibe. Great inside and outside area to enjoy. Cheers.

My partner and I had the pleasure of visiting for my birthday and everything about this place is warm and inviting. The outdoor seating with the fire was a truly nice touch. They even had soft blankets and board games! We learned so much about different wines and flavors and grapes from Sean, he was such a joy! He was very kind, personable and easy to talk to. Thank you so much for making this night that much more special for us. This place is a true gem and I cannot wait to visit again.

My girlfriends and I came here after the beach and it was the cherry on top. Ed was our server and was amazing! He gave me life advice and made my whole group love red wine. He was able to explain the wine perfectly and it was such a perfect experience. P.S. the pizza was so good!

A what beautiful glass of rosé wine from the tap. The wine is fruity delicious and refreshing. I’ve tried tons of rose’ had my personals on their beautiful wooden encounter and I needed to have it all in the photo. This wine is just as beautiful as my wares. EDSean and Juan are usually here on the weekends.

My favorite downtown wine bar, serves my fave summer sipping delight…a lovely rosé on tap so it’s got some bubbly effervescence too! They have lots of other great wines, and their food is top notch. Chef Juan makes delicious Argentinian empanadas, as well as other tasty bites. All of this and great service….as soon as you arrive Laurie makes you feel at home with her warm smile, Shannon, Ed, the other folks will take great care of you, and of course owner Bradley, all combine to create an unforgettable experience!

Love the amazing wines from all local Nor Cal vineyards…great knowledge and craftsmanship in the making of the wines, and how they pair with the excellent food.

Did not catch the name of the two gentlemen taking care of us. However they were incredibly friendly and the wines were amazing! Try the tap rose, it I’ll change ur mind about tap wine!

My +1 really wanted to try a wine bar while we were out here. The ambiance was nice, the wine was fine, the food was good, but service was "meh" and it didn't really come together like it should have. I gave 4 stars because 3 was too low, but I really wanted to give like a 3.5. We came in on a week night and the place was empty except for one person sitting at the bar, who didn't stay long after we got there. We literally stood around for a few minutes until a person on a computer in a dark back room noticed we were there and greeted us. He offered us the couch and cleared an empty bottle and some plates that had been left behind by other customers. My +1 wanted to try the mid-tier flight selection that started with chardonnay (her favorite). I'm more of a cabernet kind of guy, but they didn't have one so I tried a glass of their house blend, which was close enough. We also asked for their warmed olives and a beef empenada. The wine was decent, the olives were good, and the empenada was tasty (but they forgot the chimchurri sauce!), but we had to remind the guy serving us that my +1 had ordered a flight. A group of 4 came in a bit after us and I think the guy kinda forgot about us a couple times between them and whatever he was doing on the computer. And like other reviewers had mentioned, the food offerings were good, but nothing was really paired up and it was pretty random. Overall, the place was quiet and we had the corner of the room to ourselves, but it felt like the guy serving us was more interested in the computer, and the lack of paired wines/foods was surprising. I feel like a little effort in both areas would go long ways into what could be easily 5-star experiences.
