Roxa is a must visit cafe whenever in the Santa Cruz area! A great place to relax and enjoy one of their many coffee drinks, "mood altering elixirs", smoothies, or any of their other delicious liquid libations...all while relaxing in a hammock swing or in one of the relaxing plush sofas. They also offer acai bowls that are so deliciously light and refreshing! Pair one of their many refreshing drinks or smoothies with a delicious and healthy acai bowl and a relaxing hammock swing and prepare yourself for a wonderfully relaxing afternoon/evening!

Great service and cool area to socialize and enjoy some delicious hot coffee or hot chocolate! Unique Environment:)

Really cool spot to check out in Santa Cruz for the seating alone. There's hammock chairs everywhere, and they're super comfy to relax in. The cafe is tucked away off the street, and parking is a little difficult since it's in downtown. We tried their acai bowl and the bee Frappuccino. The acai bowl had really great homemade almond butter and the fruits were very fresh. The acai itself was a bit too sweet for me. My bf really enjoyed his Frappuccino. They have free wifi and there were a couple people working here/studying on the weekday.

This place was fun to come to. I was looking for something warm to drink and a chance to get out of the rain when I found this place. Their sandwich board caught my eye advertising an orange mocha. Upon entering its very simple, yet fun looking place. They have almost all hanging hammock chairs for sitting and relaxing in. They also have a few couch areas. You order your drink at the counter and pick it up when they call your name. They were friendly and explained my choices, as they don't have a traditional coffee menu. They serve teas, coffees and elixirs. Super relaxing vibe and I'm glad I gave them a try.

I spent a few hours here yesterday afternoon (Saturday), talking with newly-made acquaintances and learning about life in Santa Cruz for today's youngest generation. The blue spirulina drink I had was ho-hum for the price (~$10), but the other drinks I tried were pretty good. I have my eye on the Acai smoothies for a future visit. If you're looking for a uniquely Santa Cruz-ian experience, this humble cafe will make you feel like you're back in 2005, hanging out in a hippie co-op with roommates whose lives are slowly degrading from constantly being stoned. I got motion sick from the hammocks, but pretty much everyone else seemed fine. I would likely not return here by myself, but would with a group looking for environmental conversation starters. The drinks are solid, the service is kind, and it's a great place for community conversation.

Cute, cute, cute! You had me at "hammocks"! But Roxa is way more than just providing cool seating. They have really unique, thoughtful beverages and excellent customer service. They also serve their drinks in handmade ceramic mugs, which adds to the awesomeness of it all. Hammocks are hung at different heights so people don't smack into each other, and you can use the tree stumps to climb into the tall ones. It helps to go with a friend who can hand you your drink after you do hammock-climbing - haha. If it's your first time there, the staff can explain the drinks to you and even ask you what "feeling" you are looking for, so they can make proper recommendations. It is a fantastic experience.
