“Really good place for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and basically for every person that likes good food. The seating is in a patio area, when it rains it will be more take away. Very great verity of food.
We orders lots of items and all were just great.
Highly recommend the coconut coffee (on oat milk)“

“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 😋“

“As a family that truly loves Italian cuisine, we’ve visited countless Italian restaurants in various regions. Buzzo Wood Fired Pizza immediately impressed us with its modern, stylish interior and its open kitchen — a design choice that suggested both culinary transparency and a commitment to cleanliness. It set the stage for high expectations.

Yet, upon entering, there was an inexplicable sense of unease. It’s hard to pinpoint whether it stemmed from the service itself or the overall atmosphere, but the warmth and friendliness we often appreciate in a dining experience felt somewhat absent.

For our mains, we ordered The Charlie Pizza and The Jenkins Pizza. The Charlie Pizza was, unfortunately, far too salty. A touch of saltiness can enhance flavor, but in this case, it overpowered the dish and made it difficult to enjoy. The Jenkins Pizza, featuring jalapeños for a bit of spice, was fine but lacked any particularly memorable or distinctive character.

The highlight of the meal, however, came in the form of the appetizer: Arancini. These crispy, golden risotto balls, served with a parmesan sauce and leek oil, were exceptional. The contrast of the crunchy exterior and creamy risotto center, paired with the rich and aromatic sauces, was superb — easily redeeming the shortcomings of the pizzas we ordered.

In the end, Buzzo Wood Fired Pizza shows great potential, with a stylish setting and certain dishes that shine. A warmer, more welcoming service experience and better balance in the pizza seasoning could elevate it into a truly outstanding destination.“

“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 ❤️🫂“

“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.“

“Great and friendly staff. Very helpful.“

“We celebrated our wedding reception here and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kenneth was so helpful and made the coordination a breeze. He even made the perfect custom Halloween menus for our event. Alex was our server, he has the best smile and made everyone feel tended to even though our group was about 25 people. The food was delicious and came out amazing. All my guests loved it! Thank you for making my wedding a success!“

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

“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.“

“A surf-themed shop with cool interior design and tasty sandwiches!

We were looking for burgers and were glad to find Surf City. The Philly cheesesteak is their most popular and it is excellent. The ghost pepper Jack is subtle but provides the right amount of kick. The burger was also surprisingly good, and they cook the patty to order. The Vulcan Mindmelt was okay, basically a bacon cheeseburger but in a sandwich form. A little underwhelming. The homemade chips were a nice touch. The subgarden salad was a little too sour with the dressing. You can add chips or salad for $0.99. Fries were good and came with the burger. About $16 per item. All in all a good find and would come again!“

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

“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.“

“Everything was delicious.
We were visiting the area and stopped for lunch based on a recommendation.

We had their lunch special.
Very much enjoyed the tofu and vegetables. Hubby loved the sweet and sour chicken too.

(Forgot to take pics but the food was beautiful)“

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

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

“I placed an order for delivery today. The estimated time was 30 mins. Since Round Table didn't have a driver they used DoorDash. The dasher was over an hour late. The dasher never texted or called to give any updates on the order. I called Round Table & spoke to Amanda. I explained the issue. She asked me if I would like a new order or if she could just refund me? Amanda apologized for the inconvenience & refunded me right away. Amanda went above & beyond today. She gave great customer service. Hard to find these days. Thank you!“
