Boulder Creek, California

Specialty coffee pulled fresh, then swapped for craft cocktails as the redwoods darken

From morning pour‑overs to evening gin fizzes — one warm, welcoming table for every hour of your day.

Redwood‑side Retreat

Sip your drink beneath the canopy. Our outdoor patio wraps through the trees — a quiet corner of the Santa Cruz Mountains just off Highway 9.

Day‑to‑Night Menu

Our menu shifts with the light — espresso drinks and fresh pastries in the morning, full bar and small plates when the sun dips below the ridge.

Locally Rooted

We source from nearby farms and roasters whenever we can. Your latte, your cocktail, your bite — all tied to this corner of the Coast Range.

What we pour & plate

The Menu

Seasonal, thoughtful, and made to share — or to savor alone at the window counter.

Espresso

Single or double shot, our house blend — rich, chocolatey, with a hint of cherry.

Pour Over

Rotating single‑origin pour over. Ask about today's bean and roast profile.

Cortado

Equal parts espresso and steamed milk — silky, balanced, served in a warm glass.

Redwood Latte

Our signature — oat milk, a touch of vanilla, and a dusting of cacao. Topped with a cinnamon star.

Cold Brew

Twelve‑hour steep, served over hand‑cut ice. Smooth enough to drink straight, great with milk.

Matcha Latte

Ceremonial‑grade matcha whisked to order, steamed milk of your choice.

Chai Latte

House‑spiced chai — cardamom, ginger, clove — simmered and steamed with your milk.

Hot Chocolate

Dark chocolate melted into steamed milk, finished with whipped cream and sea salt.

Fresh Juice

Orange, grapefruit, or seasonal blend — pressed daily from local fruit when in season.

Tea

Loose‑leaf selection: green, black, herbal. Refills on drip teas throughout your visit.

Kombucha on Tap

Small‑batch, locally brewed. Flavors rotate — ask what's on tap today.

Milk & Alternatives

Whole, 2%, oat, almond, or soy — no extra charge. We want your drink exactly right.

Butter Croissant

Flaky, golden, baked fresh each morning. Pairs beautifully with any espresso drink.

Avocado Toast

Sourdough from a local baker, smashed avocado, radish, microgreens, and chili flakes.

Granola Bowl

House‑baked granola with Greek yogurt, seasonal fruit, honey, and a sprinkle of seeds.

Breakfast Burrito

Scrambled eggs, cheddar, salsa, and fresh greens in a warm tortilla. Hearty enough for a trail morning.

Avocado Toast Deluxe

Everything from the regular AV toast, plus a poached egg and a side of hot sauce.

Banana Bread

Warm slice, made with ripe local bananas. Topped with a pat of salted butter or served plain.

Quiche of the Day

Rotating seasonal quiche — ask at the counter. Served with a simple side salad.

House Muffin

One fresh muffin each day — blueberry, chocolate chip, or savory. Grab one to go.

Redwood Old Fashioned

Bourbon, smoked maple, bitters, and a flamed orange peel. Our most requested cocktail.

Garden Gin Fizz

Local gin, elderflower, lemon, and a splash of soda. Light, herbal, and refreshing.

Spicy Margarita

Blanco tequila, fresh lime, agave, and a jalapeño slice. Rimmed with Tajín.

Espresso Martini

Vodka, fresh espresso, coffee liqueur, and a vanilla finish. For the late‑night crowd.

Craft Beer on Tap

Rotating selection from Bay Area breweries. Ask which taps are running tonight.

Wine

Glass selections from Santa Cruz Mountains and Central Coast vineyards. Red, white, and rosé.

Small Plates

Charcuterie, olives, nuts, and seasonal dips — perfect companions for the bar.

Non‑Alcoholic Cocktails

Shrubs, infused waters, and house‑made sodas. No compromise on flavor.

Our Story

A place to linger, right where the pavement ends

Boulder Creek Tree House Cafe started with a simple idea: what if there was a spot on Highway 9 where hikers, families, and late‑night wanderers could all find the same warm table?

We opened our doors in a converted roadside building surrounded by mature redwoods, and we've kept things deliberately unhurried ever since. Our coffee is pulled by people who know your face. Our cocktails are mixed the same way — slowly, with care, and never in a rush.

Whether you're grabbing a to‑go pour over before a trailhead or settling in for a glass of wine after sunset, we're glad you're here.
