Westside Santa Cruz — location announcement soon.Morning drops + select late nights. Opening schedule announced soon.
Hot malasadas.Chuggable milk.Damn good coffee.
Fresh-fried all morning, ten-ounce house milks, and Cat & Cloud's The Answer when coffee's the move.
The move
Hot malasada. Cold milk. Coffee if you want it.
Wait—what's a malasada?
A Portuguese-style doughnut without a hole.
Golden outside, light and fluffy inside, and rolled in sugar while it's still hot.
Ours are fried in small batches and filled to order, so the malasada in your hand is warm, soft, and ready to disappear.
Why it hits
Small menu. Big craving.
We're doing a few things really well: hot fried dough, cold flavored milk, and coffee you already know is excellent.
Fresh-fried
Small batches all morning. No sad malasadas sitting around all day.
Chuggable
Cold, sweet, portable, and made with fresh milk from a local dairy partner.
Bus-stop fast
Easy to grab between classes, on the way uphill, or coming home.
Opening menu
Everything earns its spot.
