Oakes Café - Santa Cruz

The coffee is really bad. The espresso drinks always come out burnt and bitter without fail. They so badly need a new espresso machine or something. I just tried their drip coffee and even that was burnt… come on

Its good food when its made right but unfortunately very hit or miss. They serve undercooked meat or just hilariously mess up certain dishes by not adding some ingredients.

Best food on campus. The Lemon Blueberry muffins are exquisite on Thursdays.

Don’t waste an hour. Lines are long, service is slow, and often the food is questionable in quality. Go to literally anywhere else for better service.

The fruit smoothie with whip cream??10/10 recommend
