“Reliably good artisan pastries. I would not not put them in the same tier as Manresa, but definitely the sole residents of the next tier down.

That being said, I had the pistachio dream (I think that’s what it was called) and wow now that is an excellent confection and more like something I would expect from say Tartine in the city or Quail and Condor. Definitely a dessert (not breakfast) treat, it’s a flaky pastry cup (I’m sure there is a more accurate term) with a baklava-esque pistachio filling, topped with Italian meringue. Phenomenal.“

“I ordered the falafel gyro wrap, hummus appetizer, and the kids burger. Everything was incredibly delicious! Food was fresh and tasty. I can’t wait to go back. They have nice seating inside and there are also table and chairs you can use outside on nice days. I highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: The kids menu has great options!

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant and restrooms inside require no steps. The tables a spaced out enough that it is easy to pull in a wheelchair to a table.“

“Visiting SC from Michigan and came across Suda. Glad we did. Looked like it had a good vibe from the outside so we went in and sat at the bar where we had drinks. What fun! The bartender, Max, was slammed but never stopped smiling. We had fun watching him and talking with him. He knows his drinks! So much fun we came back for dinner another night. Max came over to our table to welcome us back! The drinks and food were really good! We’ll definitely be back next visit to SC. Hopefully, Max, will be there too!“

“BEST BAGEL PLACE IN SANTA CRUZ. Bagels are fresher and larger than Bagelry. Portions are bigger and cheaper than the Bagelry. You get more stuff on your bagel without having to pay extra, which unfortunately is the case at the Bagelry. I always get a Lox sandwich with capers, onions, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber already included in the price which is $7. At the Bagelry when I order a Lox sandwich, I get a stale bagel twice smaller and I have to pay extra for capers and tomatoes- $13 total, which does not have any lettuce or cucumber in it. House of Bagels is the best bang for your buck and has the tastiest bagels around. (Pic is what I took to-go this morning)“

“I was in town with my daughter for college visits and came across this restaurant in Santa Cruz via google maps. We went on a Sunday morning and were seated immediately after ordering, and the food arrived very quickly. We ordered vegan versions of a couple of their menu items and they were VERY good. Lots of flavor, not heavy sitting. We liked it so much we went back the following morning for breakfast before we took off to another state for another college visit. There were still more vegan items I would have liked to try on their menu. Definitely recommend this quaint little restaurant. Vegan friendly, but also good choices for omnis too.“

Each of them has a distinct personality and worldwide cuisine... I love my Foodsmith food! I am looking forward to my next set on Thursday. Officially I will sign up for weekly meals because as a 40+ hour a week RN I need to keep myself healthy and avoid fast food that was becoming my norm. Thank you for this wonderful and delicious start to my week!“
