" I was impressed by how well the staff managed the large crowd. Their rhubarb pastry was delightful, fresh, and warmed to perfection! I ordered a unique drink special of the day that rocked my taste buds. It’s clear they care about their offerings and giving customers an enjoyable experience. I will definitely make an effort to return on my next visit to Santa Cruz! " (*Curated Review*)

" With twists on classic dishes and a brew that stands out, there's a lot to love about this coffee shop. I appreciate when a business highlights its heritage and tries to marry the two cuisines well. I had a boca de pie coffee which was just incredible, paired with their guava pastry, it was a match made in heaven! Seating might be an issue, but the quality definitely makes up for that little detail. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can easily say that Mariposa Coffee Bar has set the bar high for what a coffee shop should be. The Vietnamese coffee was the best I've ever had - smooth, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness. The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant, with plants decorating the space. I tried their guava pastry, and it was flaky and decadent; that blend of Cuban flair shines here! Definitely my new go-to spot whenever I'm in Santa Cruz. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting Mariposa, and I loved it! The ambiance is naturally bright and cute with plenty of seating options. I ordered the chicken spring rolls and a Vietnamese iced coffee, and both were a raving success. My friends loved their orders too! They put a twist on traditional flavors which shows creativity in their food. Will recommend it wholeheartedly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall a neat spot to enjoy coffee and pastries but had some issues during my visit. The drink I ordered was stronger than I anticipated, and I wished they offered more sugar-free options. The atmosphere was relaxing, but the noise level was a bit high with the music, making conversation difficult at times. I might return to try their food options, which looked wonderful. Next time, I’ll be sure to ask for less sugar! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had grand expectations coming in, and luckily they were met! The Bella Bon Bon was a unique take on a traditional drink. I loved how charming the place was, full of energy, creativity, and delicious aromas. However, I noticed the seating was a tad crowded during peak hours, which was a bit uncomfortable. More seating would be fantastic. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming here since they opened, and it’s amazing to see how it has blossomed! The pastries are outstanding; I can't resist the guava and cheese combo. The coffee selection is fun, including some fantastic vegan options. I've had some inconsistency in service on busy hours, but for the most part, it's been friendly. If you want to experience local flavors in a lively environment, this is your spot! " (*Curated Review*)
