Paula's is a beloved restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The laid-back and relaxing atmosphere is enhanced by a surfer theme, with surfboard decor, vintage surfer photos, and Beach Boys music playing in the background. The food has been praised for its great taste, with particular mentions of delicious pancakes, well-cooked eggs, and bacon. The respectful service is appreciated by diners, and the budget-friendly prices make it an excellent value for the quality of food and ambiance. This iconic Santa Cruz establishment is a long-time Pleasure Point staple, known for its classic, no-frills, fresh food at affordable prices. Customers can enjoy their breakfast in a vintage conversion van, surrounded by old rare photos on the walls. It is recommended to arrive early, especially on weekends, as the restaurant's popularity can result in long lines of eager customers.
