The Best Iced Coffee in Downtown Santa Cruz: Episode 3 — The Missile at Verve

Episode 3 of our search for the best iced coffee in downtown Santa Cruz lands at Verve Coffee.

Verve started right here in Santa Cruz and now has four locations across the city alone. This is a brand that built its name on quality and it shows in every cup.


The Missile

This is the drink to order.

A highly caffeinated cold drink made from their own coffee concentrate, half and half, and sweetened with their house made syrup, simply called House Flavor.

It is incredible. Cold, strong, smooth, and exactly what you need to cool down and lock in at the same time. This is not a drink for people easing into their coffee order. This is for people who know what they want.


Three episodes in and the bar keeps climbing. Follow along for next week's pick in our search for the best iced coffee in downtown Santa Cruz.
