Would be 5 stars, but as a long time client with celiac, I am so so disappointed that they have stopped taking gluten free seriously. I have been eating here many times for years with no issues. The food is absolutely delicious! Sadly, I went on Wednesday for lunch. I got a California burger on a gluten free bun. When I opened it I was concerned because it looked like a normal bun, so I went back to the window to check. The girl in the window told me it looked like their gluten free buns, but would go check with the chef. She came back and said that it was gluten free. Because I have eaten here safely so many times before, I ate it thinking they had new buns… and I’ve been sick since. I still figured it had to be something else since I trust them- but I went back today to get food for my family and the gf bun was the old usual gf bun and the regular bun is definitely the one I ate. And they look nothing alike! Looked up recent GF reviews and apparently there has been a huge downturn with safety efforts, so it’s not just me. I’m so sad to lose my favorite restaurant, but I hope to save some other regulars from getting sick.

Nice casual spot to enjoy a meal in their garden on a sunny day. Something about the crispy potato in the breakfast sandwich is so good.

Pretty Good Advice is a laid-back gem in Soquel, serving up some of the best vegetarian and vegan breakfast and lunch around. The food is fresh, flavorful, and perfect for grab-and-go, with a farm-to-table feel that keeps things simple yet high-quality. The Spicy Boy and Good Morning breakfast sandwiches on airy ciabatta rolls are next-level—easily among the best on the West Coast. Limited outdoor seating makes for a relaxed vibe if you want to hang out, but this spot is all about quick, delicious bites that don’t skimp on quality. A must-try for healthy munchies lovers.

Pretty good doesn't even begin to describe it - their vegan chicken sandwich was BOMB and the surprise breakfast sandwich hit the spot. Smashed cucumbers + delicata squash were chefs kiss 💋

But more importantly, their service was top notch. Everyone was super kind, happy to be there and helpful with suggestions. Olivia was so sweet taking our order & gifted us a vegan peanut butter soft serve to celebrate our 8th anniversary! What a wonderful, positive space they've created - we will definitely be back!! 💙

Dietary restrictions: Almost everything can be made vegan!

Cute little place serving all day breakfast items. I got the sandwich with kimchi and kewpie Mayo and it was the 💣. They had an interesting chai - apple cider chai and it was out of this world. The fries were just right and seasoned perfectly. Highly recommended.

Foods good but the must have a teenager working on a small hot plate in the back for how fast they get food out. Got here at noon and it’s been almost 30 minutes and they’ve made it through 3 Togo orders total. There’s still 4 people in front of us. Absolutely pathetic service. Wouldn’t come again unless they learn how to operate a kitchen or fix whatever their problems are there it’s just not ok.

This was the best food I have had in Santa Cruz. I loved the vegan bbq jalapeno burger and the brussel sprouts was awesome too. The banh mi was very good.
