Restaurants in Soquel

“I can’t say enough good things about Brad, Linda, and staff. They are wonderful to be around and everyone really cares about the food. There is something on the menu for the vast majority of eaters. The garden on site is walkable and absolutely gorgeous. For food: beef cheeks, fried chicken, and any pasta you care for. Wine: a broad selection of interesting bottles Non-alcoholic: lemonade 😋”

“Such a yummy place. No meat! Such unique and healthy food. There’s seating and a restroom around the back. Outdoor only. There’s a parking lot and it usually doesn’t get full. kind of expensive.”

“First time trying this place and we absolutely LOVED it! It was amazing. The food was great, atmosphere was also really good. Our waitress was so friendly. I think her name was Eleanor, not 100% sure! Will definitely be coming back. We really enjoyed how the food didn’t come out so quickly. There was time to eat our appetizer and then ease into dinner.”

“Amazing food! ❤️ cozy atmosphere and the lady that helped us was such a sweetheart. This is will be our go-to place now in Soquel ❤️🫂”

“the Salmon Tacos are to die for!!! I've been enjoying them for 18 years.”

“Reliably good food in a cozy, festive environment. Great menu featuring local, seasonal ingredients. Service was a bit lackluster/aloof, but dishes were brought to the table promptly and we had all that we needed when we needed it. We are locals that love this place, and will return!”

“Fun outdoor beer garden with lots of good quality beer choices and varieties. Also have a cooler with bottles and cans to go. Food was good. Corn hole and other fun games, lots of seating and shade on hot days.”

“You're only a stranger once”

“Great atmosphere, and friendly people. kicking back at a bar stool or playing darts and Pool. its a comfortable place to be on any day of the week. C'mon down park your rump and wet your whistle at Frogs”

“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.”

“SO YUMMY and excellent customer service as well. I usually order the olallieberry shake and slice of pie but they were out so I tried the blackberry and it was so yummy. 😋 The skirt steak and salad bar is phenomenal.”

“Great and friendly staff. Very helpful.”

“This was our first time here. I the Johnny Utah turkey sandwich, my husband had the Vulcan Mind Meld and my dad had hot pastrami. Mine was great. There was a lot of turkey and avocado and the Chipotle mayo had a bit of a kick. My husband thought the Vulcan had good flavor but only 1 bite of the sandwich had any heat. He expected more spice from the ghost pepper jack cheese. My dad thought the pastrami was perfect.”

“The best bagels anywhere in the bay area. Top notch menu and service. They have been around a long time and during the pandemic they really pulled thru for the customers and the community. 🫶🥯🥯🥯🥯”

“Really delicious food & the beer is great! love the atmosphere.”

“i love the vibe, coffee and employees. Had the Ray of F* Sunshine today but with cow milk. OMG sooooo great. ty”

“Nice property. Decent wines. Good prices. Great service.

Tasting is $10 for 5 wines. They make a nice variety of wines, but more pinot noir and red heavy with some Italian styles. Wines are all very fragrant, but taste was ok. Only 1 standout wine. They waive the tasting fee for every 2 bottle purchase, but their flexible. Bottles are mostly $30-50

Stephanie was awesome. Very knowledgeable, friendly, passionate about the wines. Not very busy on a Saturday. Outdoor seating only. A bit strange that there was only 1 low table with chairs. Rest were all high top standing tables so be prepared to stand or sit in the sun on the side areas. Open seating. You go up to the bar area to get your own wines and taste at your own pace. Only 1 restroom. Self serve water provided. No food allowed (not sure why, they don't sell food)”

“Excellent customer service today from server Heather. She totally accommodated the fact that I am gluten free and took her time to go over the entire menu with me, and she also made me up a fresh batch of gluten free chips. Heather is so knowledgeable and really kind and patient. i felt really cared for us.A customer and the food was very good too.”

“Hi everyone I highly recommend this place this the best Mexican food I have ever had in Santa Cruz honestly the best I've had ever anywhere! and the best part is that everything is so fresh they make your food fresh nothing is frozen there . This is the only place that I go for Mexican food and me and my family go there quite often it tastes amazing every time ! And even better the employees are awesome super nice . In the outside sitting area is so nice they have an apple tree and their own orange tree and limes !! It's beautiful.”

“The kids loved the chow fun, fish, and the wor wonton soup was like a cozy blanket in a bowl. Every dish came out hot, fresh, and full of that “mmm!” moment that makes a family meal feel extra special.”
