Worth the wait! The funnel cakes are always nice and warm when served. We ordered the Strawberry and Oreo cookie funnel cake, the strawberries have a Strawberry syrup which makes the funnel cake super tasty. The oreo funnel cake has a caramel drizzle which was a nice touch. Stop by and try them out!

This past weekend, we got the Strawberry funnel cake with no whip cream, and added chocolate sauce (which was not on the listed menu, but obviously a must-have). Short line in the evening, went quickly. Standard service at the order counter and pick up window. Several tables and seating on both sides of the food stand (though it's even better enjoying these treats on the actual beach). The funnel cake had a nice crunch on the outside, warm and airy on the inside, the toppings adding the perfect sweetness and combination of flavors. I've never had a bad experience here. My guilty pleasure at the Boardwalk. Yummm!! :)

All I Gotta say is we just went here for the giant dipper and that's it and yet my nephew wanted to shake it took the longest time people went before after us so much, and got their food. The place was so unprofessional and I literally think to myself and I thought when I was standing there, shouldn't these people been wearing hair? That's their hair is so long. I am so thankful that no one got a hair in their food. Otherwise I was gonna straight up make a big fit

Has the original funnel cake with powdered sugar and whipped cream. I asked for light whipped cream and they gave me all whipped cream. Besides that , the funnel cake was crispy enough... it should be crisp on the outer edge but tender inside.

I've been craving a funnel cake for days and finally got one! The boardwalk right now is open Thur-Sun. I went around 1:30 and holy cow, super busy. It's last day for schools so they're doing their end of year celebration. Even with how busy it was, the service from the staff was good. They all had masks and were very polite when I was ordering. The funnel cake I got is an Oreo one and holy cowwwwww, so so good! The one thing I regret is not having added the ice cream scoop as it would've made it even more delicious! Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet and sugary

My wife loves funnel cake and finally gave in and used a cheat meal as an excuse to enjoy this carnival and amusement park staple. I told her to ask them to make it smaller and we would pay the same because the normal size is too big for the amount our family eats. The first warning sign should have been the funnel cakes were pre made and sitting in a case under a heat lamp. When we ordered they took it out of the case, sprinkled powdered sugar on it, spray whip cream on, and jammed two forks into it. The cake itself was not good, it was soft and soggy, like a plain donut that was wet and didn't have any of the expected crunchy shell we were looking for. The kids don't normally get a lot of sugar and will eat it like crazy but they also had a couple bites and didn't want anymore. We ended up throwing about 75% of it away and we hate wasting food.

This was like a month or so ago. Cake was filling and i guess its costly of how massive it is. 12$ at the time...might change over the next few years maybe. No food poisoning here, at least for me.

It's great but it tastes like guilt because of the calories hahaha we had the strawberry one. The line actually moved faster than we thought. There might be a little too much cream but it is a good dessert to share on the boardwalk.
Man! The mark up on these classic funnel cakes must be insane! Ten bucks for flour in oil sprinkled with powdered sugar. I was happy to pay though for the delicious, crispy sweet desert that sent me right back to childhood. Customer service was amazing. They line was incredibly long but the staff kept calm and communicated with the customers and were very helpful.

Good service! Fresh and hot served cakes. Generously added toppings. Must try on the boardwalk.

Omg this is the best funnel cake. Its so good and tasty. I had the oreo funnel cake. Definitely coming back to Santa Cruz soon to try the other flavors

The food itself is stellar, but service is unenthusiastic. It is clear the staff hate their job, as I think it would have been more exciting talking to a rock. We had the oreo sundae funnel cake which was enormous. It was topped with a generous amount of whipped cream, powdered sugar, and multiple scoops of ice cream. My wife and I could not finish it, so make sure to eat this with multiple friends/family members.

Funnel Cakes are a German breakfast tradition brought to a whole new level! Toppings range from powdered sugar to strawberries and whipped topping. Try "The Experience" with ice cream! Across from the Giant Dipper. Drop it!!!!
