“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.“

“Great place. Came with my family on our way to the beach. Good selection of sandwiches and other things. They didn’t have tuna made so made it fresh for my sandwich without issue. My wife loved her coffee. We all liked our sandwiches. Very well made. The people that helped us were all friendly. The owner/grandmother I assume personally thanked us for coming in. This is a great little family owned business that we will be returning to. Highly recommend. Liked this better than Pixies.“

“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.“

“Reliably good artisan pastries. I would not not put them in the same tier as Manresa, but definitely the sole residents of the next tier down.

That being said, I had the pistachio dream (I think that’s what it was called) and wow now that is an excellent confection and more like something I would expect from say Tartine in the city or Quail and Condor. Definitely a dessert (not breakfast) treat, it’s a flaky pastry cup (I’m sure there is a more accurate term) with a baklava-esque pistachio filling, topped with Italian meringue. Phenomenal.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“
