" Any little detail in Mariposa makes you want to come back. I had a delightful coffee with a guava pastry, both of which were refreshing and flavorful. The warm vibes and positive energy in the environment were infectious. The attention to authenticity shines through in the dishes, showcasing flavors true to their heritage. Don’t miss out on visiting if you are in Santa Cruz! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place really has a special charm! Not only was the coffee excellent, but the environment was so inviting. It felt like a home away from home. I did find the menu a bit confusing and would have liked more advice on what to order from staff and maybe clearer prices. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my time here and will return for the atmosphere alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with my friends and really enjoyed the overall experience. The atmosphere has elements that remind me of Havana. I tried the chorizo pastry, and it was unforgettable. The sweet notes of the pastelitos paired beautifully with the espresso. I am intrigued to try more from this extensive menu on my next visit. This has easily become one of my favorite haunts! " (*Curated Review*)

" A family-owned vibe that can be felt throughout the visit. I sampled a bit of everything, and they all had that home-cooked quality to them. The coffee choices were really unique which keeps you coming back to try new things! I applaud their effort to connect coffee from two rich cultures together, and so beautifully! One of my favorite places ever! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mariposa is my go-to coffee shop. The vibe is always chill, and the staff makes you feel like family. While I wish the portions were a little larger, especially for pastries, the taste is impeccable. My top recommendation would be the vegan pastries; they are amazing! I also enjoy their themed event nights. Keep up the fantastic work, team! " (*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*)
