Restaurants in Soquel

“Good menu for vegan and vegetarian. The parking is limited. All outdoor seating. The patio area has umbrellas, but the other are by parking lot does not. Overall good experience.”

“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 😋”

“Really solid pizza. It was overall a great vibe, with a nice outdoor area. I had heard a lot of great things about Buzzo's before finally getting an opportunity to eat here, so was really hopeful. Definitely see why people like it! The crust is damn near perfect, and the arancini was wonderful.

The better pizza was definitely the margherita. I had heard a lot about the potato pizza, but to me it just didn't really seem to work; there were so many ingredients and it just didn't meld well to me.

Neither pizza had the marbling on the cheese I was hoping for, but definitely overall a really solid experience! Would come back for sure!”

“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.”

“Favorite lunch spot on the Southside, great beer selection, friendly staff, and patrons. Best of all, dog friendly, and they have games like ping pong and corn hole”

“Small place that’s perfectly understated…what more you could you ask for in a breakfast place? Well if you like salsa on your eggs, the scramble with homemade salsa is FIRE! It’s hard to stand out when serving up scrambled eggs and home fries, but I’ll be back for this breakfast.”

“My wife and I had dinner at Cafe Cruz on 6/20/2025. We've dined at Cafe Cruz on several occasions over the years, and we have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. This time was no exception. Drinks were excellent and the service very attentive and timely. Our food was quite good although the sea bass wasn't quite as good as we're used to experiencing at Cafe Cruz. Still good, just not as stellar as we've experienced previously. Overall, a great place for dinner and remains a "go to" spot for a nice dinner out.”

“Great and friendly staff. Very helpful.”

“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)”

“Food is great. Prices suck
Place is usually empty. So with an empty restaurant the prices are high for take out. They pay too much for the unused space and charge you in the food. It's been a staple for over 40 years so I support it. Be ready to drop over $50 for a 2 person meal.”

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

“It's a serious problem picking a sandwich at this place because you cannot go wrong.
And you can sit in the sun wondering if you should have gotten one of the many many different sandwiches on offer before yours comes and it's fabulous. With crispy chips.”

“My favorite bar. Ever since I moved to soquel it’s been my “Cheers.” Huge shout out to the amazing bartenders, especially CJ! She is attentive, conversational and makes the best kamikaze! Kat has become one of my best friends for life (I’m even in her wedding!). Sarah is an amazing woman! Nothing like a strong female business woman in our community where the men love to grab a cold one after work!”

“You're only a stranger once”

“This Restaurant is Always so great!! Food is Fantastic, great friendly staff and clean as can be.”

“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 food , Great Margaritas! , Great service, 😊”
