“This is my favorite booth at SAP when I go to Sharks games. You can see the arepas being grilled fresh and the fillings are so flavorful. The owners are very welcoming. I’m looking forward to the opening of their San Jose location since I haven’t been able to make it to Santa Cruz.“

“Food is fabulous, place is always packed so take a number and prepare to wait a bit. Totally worth it, stop Everytime we're nearby. Service is reliable but sometimes they can't be super friendly since it's a mad house. They do have seating and take and go food but the hot bar is the best! I always end up buying to much because I can't decide.“

“We came as a big party... One girl was exceptionally amazing here. Wish I caught her name (short hair and working in the kitchen)... Somehow the child's avocados toast was not ordered and they were closing and everyone else got their food and she made sure to bring her food out regardless of if it was on them or us that it wasn't ordered.. then for that hassle they gave us a couple freebie cookies to make our day a little less stressful.

The food was made with deliberate care... My potato leak soup was exquisite and so was my plate of breakfast with poached eggs, bacon, toast made in house. I'm normally super picky about breakfast because I feel like i can just make it myself for a tenth of the price, but here I just felt so happy to eat their organic, yummy fresh food.

Also, they served our hot coffee and hot matcha in cutesy mugs which I really appreciated“

“This place was bustling when I went and for good reason- so many great options! They have my favorite brand of vegan cream cheese (Tofutti) as well as house made tofu spreads. The New Delhi was especially good, but also liked the tofu Tom and the Tofu del Fuego. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-02“

“Got onion with jalapeño cream cheese and garlic bagel with veggie cream cheese. Mostly good but had large cheddar cheese chunks in the the jalapeno cream cheese for some reason. Felt weird , threw them away. we like the cream cheese bit dense, it was liquidy. Also it would be nice if they cut the bagels in half, easier to eat em.“

“I found Rebecca's muffins at Campbell farmers market. They are so delicious and you can't really tell whether they are sugar free, soy free, gluten free and vegan. I have some health problem so I have to be on an anti inflammatory diet and I just look forward to every Sunday where I can go buy her muffins. God bless her!“

“I stopped here this morning just to get some GF food. I have never been here before and heard about it from a coworker and wanted to try it.
The bakery is inside of the Polenteria restaurant (see pic for guidance to the entrance). The closest parking is the lot surrounding Victory Lane. I was able to find a spot when I arrived around 11 am Thursday even though it was fairly full.
I checked the restaurants menu when I got home and found out it had an 'entire gluten free Italian menu'. Now I have to go back for dinner sometime.
I got a 3 pack of Jalapeno bagels for $12, 2 large cookies at $5 each, and a brownie for $9. It was pricier than another GF bakery I had recently visited in another town.“

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!“

“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!“

“Fantastic spot! Nice, open and clean kitchen. Mattias and staff are amazing to work with. Would highly recommend!“

“I stumbled onto this spot while on a work trip. It was lunch time and I was in the mood for a nice sandwich. So I decided to give this place a try. Right when I walked in I noticed how clean the place was, which I appreciate greatly. They had just opened so I was the only customer. I placed my ordered at the counter. Their menu has so many great sounding sandwiches. But I decided to go the REO Speedwagon and a side house salad. Along with an iced tea. I sat down at a booth and my food arrived shortly after. The sandwich had a nice helping of quality meats, fresh produce and the sour dough bread was perfection. The salad was also very good and the perfect size. Overall everything tasted great and at a reasonable price. The staff were all friendly and provided prompt service. I will definitely come here again when I’m in the area.“

“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.“

“I moved from the area long ago, but come back to visit. When I'm here I like to enjoy all my favorite places. We had a perfect crepe brunch and shared our two favorite savory and sweet crepes. Perfect as always. Enjoyed the pup friendly spot in front patio as well.“

“I had a very delicious Chicken Apple Brie Sandwich and Chai latte.“

“Food was good and Service was great.“
