The Starbucks mermaid logo is a familiar sign for visitors to downtown, no matter where they come from. For Santa Cruz's only Starbucks, customers can enjoy their favorite drinks outside in the beloved climate. What's truly unique about this downtown spot is the brick patio (complete with umbrellas, tables and chairs) that's tucked behind the sidewalk. Like other Starbucks, the coffee shop sells trademark espresso drinks (hot, cold and blended), mugs, sandwiches, bottles of water, CD's, pastries, and gift certificates.
