Cowell Coffee Shop Santa Cruz Reviews
I actually really enjoy the new “for the people’s” Cowell coffee shop. Now they have free fruits and veggies that you can juice in the very new juicer. Besides that it’s basically the same as it was. They also have “slug kitchen sessions” where they teach you to make tasty food.

The pumpkin cream cheese muffins are fire 🤤
Free food that is deadvss more tasty and filling than anything else you will find on campus. A lovely variety of dishes that utilise fresh produce from the farm. Whenever I am sad, merely remembering the existence of the CCS makes me feel a lot better. CCS is a reason to smile and dance in the sunshine and be grateful that one is alive. all the staff are pretty cool too sometimes they remember me :)
cafe food at this location - very good. staff is always super even when they have a full house. there was fast, efficient, and courteous service. food is similar to a cafe in portland i liked.

CLOSED for summer. Obviously. But thought we try anyway. 😉
This is a good place to hang out and do homework and stuff if you can find a spot but it's a tiny place so it's sometimes to find a power outlet
Discounted Day-olds and yummy salads are my go-to's for this cafe.
This coffee shop is a decent place to study with friends and relax. Staffed by students who are hanging out on their free time, the place has a very low key relaxed feel.
