“This place is the best. Always have great service and the food is always good. This is my goto breakfast spot. David and his family are awesome! oh, can't forget about the bbq.”

“Really wonderful ambiance, Charles is a great waiter, the service and food is wonderful. If you are into desserts, the beignets are epic. EPIC!”

“Coffee conspiracy is by far my favorite roaster (and now cafe) in Santa Cruz. Eddie is genuinely kind, hard-working and determined, and I’d definitely recommend stopping in to give his coffee a shot!”

“Best cocktail bar in the South Bay!”

“As a Brazilian I can say without a doubt this is the most authentic Brazilian food you'll get in Santa Cruz. Excellent staff/ service, yummy traditional Brazilian dishes, amazing appetizers, excellent selection of drinks and oh may the deserts!!!! This place rocks and will hopefully be with us for a very long time. Family owned.”

“I had a fantastic experience doing the tasting menu and the wine pairing. Lots of small perfectly executed dishes, served at a good cadence. Lots of the ingredients were foraged, including some of the seafood. The wines in the pairing were great, especially considering the price point of the pairing was very reasonable - for so many pours of wine. I understand that the menu is constantly changing - so I'm sure I'll be going back soon.”

“Great roast and light meals. Friendly staff. Fun partnerships with Chubbs Chicken and Full Steam Dumplings. Unfortunately the student customers camp out with their laptops way past their welcome - c’mon guys it’s a restaurant after 5pm. Go to the library”

“Delicious food, fabulous staff. A must try”

“A delicious and somewhat tucked away spot.

I always drive by good dogs on my way to and from my job. It closes right when I get off. I had the time to go today and it was well worth the visit.
The dogs are delicious the airstream trailer is adorable and he's both polite, willing to chat, and fast.
If you want to stop by there is only one parking spot. I'd recommend parking by Santa Cruz tire and auto and walking over. There is some good seating.
I'm definitely going back and bring my friend and coworkers along.”

“11th hour coffee is the best in town! Small batch quality direct trade coffee roasted with love. Happy to support a local growing business in the community.”

“If I was being executed tomorrow, I would ask for these thumbprint cookies as my last meal.”

“My wife and I split the Davenport burrito. It was delicious, but it could have easily fed three people. It is gigantic.
Nice deck outside, but it was too windy for that.”

“Amazing! That’s all that needs to be said. See you next visit!”

“Basque style tapas (pintxos) in a stylish little restaurant. What’s not to like? Stop in for a couple of small bites and a drink like a Spaniard would, or have dinner.”

“Every time we drive over from San Jose we eat there.”

“Absolutely delicious, we cleaned our plates ☺️ we got the chicken and beef brisket plates and they were both fresh and perfectly balanced. The pomegranate matcha latte was excellent as well.

ETA: the food was so good we also got a shawarma wrap to share. It was SO good; I usually hate dill but these chefs are such experts that it actually complemented the flavors of the wrap and I found myself enjoying the flavor of dill for the first time in my life 😆”

“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.”

The real standout was the Sourdough pancakes. I got them with seasonal fruit and whipped cream (bananas and walnuts this week) and splurged on real maple syrup. Super delicious and reasonably priced.”
