Verve Coffee Roasters

Verve Coffee Roasters is the Blue Bottle, Ritual Roasters, (insert popular SF coffee here) of Santa Cruz.  Like all cult following coffee houses, there is a long line, a small display of yummy pastries, pour over coffees, and square payment.

The bowl of soul is a popular options amongst non coffee drinkers or those who are looking for something other than coffee.  A concoction of tea, soy milk, and honey with a thick layer of foam.  Its sweet and soothing, but not my cup of tea.

The black coffee is always my standard drink of choice.  Verve's coffee is strong with a brisk aftertaste.  It reminds me a little of Ritual Roaster's coffee.  The best thing about this Verve location is walking a couple blocks to the beach and enjoying a cup while watching the surfers ride the waves.
