“I have lived in the area for about two years and just discovered this place. Please don't go, I don't want it to get busy.

It is truly a gem and the books that are shared with guests show how much the owner loves what they do, and that is felt in every aspect of the restaurant. Highly recommend, but regret having to do so!“

“Had flowers delivered to my mother in law and she was blown away by the arrangement delivered. I'm not local to Santa Cruz so I was really trusting the images on the website when I chose this shop. Her excitement about the arrangement was worth every penny. Thank you Flower Bar for making such a great arrangement and delivering it to my hard working mother in law. She deserves the recognition and I couldn't have done it without Flower Bar! 10/10 would recommend.“

“This is our first time visiting Sunrise Cafe, based on reviews we read online. There is a nice selection of breakfast and lunch options. We were really impressed by the food. The ingredients were fresh and genuine, and the prices were quite affordable.

We both ordered breakfast: I had eggs, potatoes, and bacon, while my companion chose French Toast with a side of bacon. Everything was fresh and hot, which means it was freshly made. We plan to keep coming back whenever we visit the Soquel/Aptos/Capitola area.“

“Scopazzi’s has long since been a favorite venue for the BCBA to host events. From dinner/auction fundraisers to roundtable meetings to lunch meetings and now our 1st annual community planning event. They knocked it out of the park today for the CPE! Thank you to Talal and all of the staff!“

“So yummy, very refreshing also addicting.“

“Stopped here early Saturday morning — they were already open. Fresh pastries and sandwiches made right on the spot. Cozy inside, smells like home baking. A few parking spots right in front of the café. Seating available both inside and outside. Perfect little stop to grab coffee and something warm before hitting the road.“

“The service was great. The food is good and portions are large. Moderate pricing, but dog friendly!“

“The food here is always delicious and authentic. The BLT is the best around. The tomatoes are always red and juicy. I’m eating the Shepherds pie and omg it’s melting in my mouth and all the flavors are on point. Awesome cool bagel combinations like the cashew bagel or the one with cream cheese and bacon Anyways! Always friendly and always fresh!“

“Companion bakeshop is the best bakery!! I’ve been to bakeries around the country as well as here in Santa cruz. As a baker myself who’s tried about half the baked goods they offer there was only one item I wouldn’t buy again.

All their bread is wild yeast. And they offer 100% whole grain loaves! The pistachio dream is ridiculously good. I literally dream about it and I’m not a meringue or nut person. The quality of ingredients shows in everything and their thoughtfulness about healthier options is also evident. As in their almond croissant which features a non traditional whole meal “marzipan”.
Can’t wait for them to make a cookbook!!“

“Great scone mixes - even my BIL now likes scones! Very fast delivery (I live out of state) for mixes. The Lemon Curd is delicious - on top of scones or licked off of a spoon.“

“Love this place!“

“Great food, atmosphere all the waiters are nice. Great location.“

“No complaints! Nice and clean, washed and dried a huge load of clothes for less than $10 including detergent in just over an hour. They have a restroom for customers and lots of tables to sit and work or read or whatever. No parking lot, but free street parking is easy enough to find nearby.“

“A great place to eat, shop, and walk around. It’s also home of the Diversity Center, Santa Cruz County’s LGBTQ+ Center.“

“Best breakfast and ambience 🥰“

“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.“

“Free food that is deadvss more tasty and filling than anything else you will find on campus. A lovely variety of dishes that utilise fresh produce from the farm. Whenever I am sad, merely remembering the existence of the CCS makes me feel a lot better. CCS is a reason to smile and dance in the sunshine and be grateful that one is alive.

all the staff are pretty cool too sometimes they remember me

:)“

“We live just up the street and finally came in for the first time. My Son and I had the chicken pesto and the chicken apple Brie Sandos. Food was BOMB delicious. The vibe is super family oriented and welcoming. The spot is super quaint and comfortable. The staff is so friendly, u know ur neighbors.“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere! Great staff! Great place to sit and relax in. I love the tea and the wonderful eggs! This place is magical!“

“I enjoyed browsing and hanging out in the shop and the Nashville lions mane sandwich was really good! Would definitely recommend as a cool spot to browse (I got some gifts and learned about mushrooms lol) and eat something super yummy and unique.“

“The Best chai ever. I ❤️ them.“

“My Favorite place downtown❣️❣️❣️ Best Scones I’ve ever had!!! Super sweet staff💜 and breakfast sandwiches that keep you coming back every day😁“

“Excelente servicio!!! Los desayunos deliciosos en general un agradable lugar para comer👍🏻“

“The good, wholesome, god-fearing people of Santa Cruz county have long wished breakfast with solar EV charging. Now they have it!.

For you EV driving electron huggers out there you are in luck: There are a dozen level 3 chargers. Yeah, this place has Tesla superchargers but skip those if youre not in a rush. Instead use the Blink solar powered charging just a few 100 feet from those big red & white tesla vulvas next to Diversity Center

Food: healthy eaters and particularly plant-based consumers such as level-5 vegans and non-commital vegetarians will be accommodated here.

I had a burrito that was stunningly delicious. They put tofu and soyrizzo inside the burrito! This had had the effect of making Damn near the best veggie wrap I have ever had had in this town!!!!!!!!!

in addition, the barista trotted out dog treats for bodhi!. She was so friendly and accommodating

Of course the patio is just wonderful and usually uninhabited. Dog get treats if they get ip on the furniture too!

You has the info. Now git it!!“

“Two kids were working very hard and doing an excellent job!!We ordered popsicles that had previously melted into small squares in the bottom of the bag and then refroze, and were a little frostbitten.But they have a huge menu with coffee, boba, smoothies, fro yo.“
