11 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Aptos

“Have been here several times for breakfast and lucky for us we almost always get Naomi as our server, although every one is super nice! Naomi is very attentive and will give suggestions if you ask. She’s awesome! Today hubby and I each got the Huevos Rancheros-delicious! Two crispy tortillas with black beans, their yummy ranchero sauce, cheese and two perfect eggs over medium. I never ever finish my breakfast but this was so good I did and finished before the hubby-lol! And the bill was $37.00. I can’t remember the last time I paid this little of an amount for a delicious breakfast for two. They also have daily lunch specials-always good and so reasonable!“

“Had the Castroville Scramble (3 eggs, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, onions, with home fried potatoes and Rye toast) and it was VERY VERY good! The service was great and food delivered promptly. there's a small outdoor dining area tgat was very nice even though it's in a very commercial/industrial part of town. A very pleasant dining surprise for hungry travellers!“

“Great food, atmosphere all the waiters are nice. Great location.“

“At Walnut avenue you can "Go vegan" by subbing the scrambled eggs with scrambled tofu, and they are so good! I had a pesto scramble with tomates, a bagel and a cup of fruit. Walnut Avenue cafe is my favorite breakfast place in Santa Cruz! The food is delicious, the seating is comfortable, and the staff is very nice!“

My dad got a corned beef Reuben which was so delicious and came with dill pickle chips to add even more flavor. The staff was extremely friendly and it’s located in such a charming place in what feels like the country.“

I had the Avo & Tomato egg sandwich. It was an elevated breakfast sandwich that was hearty and their signature brioche bun is amazing.

Super casual, bright, and friendly. Great atmosphere for people of all ages and backgrounds.“
