"Our party of 5 recently stopped here while in the area. The location is perfectly positioned across the street from the Santa Cruz beach and wharf. The two sandwiches we ordered had some unique ingredients we hadn't ever had before, and they were both delicious. The standouts to me were the turmeric pickled onions (what look like banana peppers on the sandwich to the left), and the carrots, which I can only describe as tasting like they were very lightly pickled in something like white balsamic vinegar. I have no idea if that's how they're made, but they were absolutely delicious. While maybe a bit expensive, I feel like the prices were on par for this premium location in a tourist trap. Not outrageous, but certainly more than I'd pay at a no-name place inland. The only letdown was the mac and cheese we got for our toddler, which was bland and uninspired. Not that it was necessarily bad, but it certainly wasn't at the same caliber as our sandwiches. The other two in our party got hot dogs, which disappeared quickly and looked tasty, so I can't really comment on those good or bad. Would definitely come here again if we find ourselves in the area."

"Had breakfast here. Delicious light food that doesn’t leave your stomach feeling heavy. Great vegan options. The breakfast burrito with feta was amazing. They have gluten free bread options which was amazing. Right next to the pier."

"I ordered mac and cheese ($11.50) for my child and received what appeared to be a pre-prepared dish that had been reheated in the microwave. The pasta was significantly overcooked and breaking apart throughout the bowl. After already waiting quite some time for our initial order, I felt I had no choice but to allow my hungry child to eat what was served. When I politely requested a grilled cheese as an alternative, the staff kindly agreed but unfortunately took over 20 minutes without completing the order. When we finally said we couldn’t wait any longer, I noticed the staff smiling to each other and saying “good news”. Overall this felt rather unprofessional given our situation as paying customers with a hungry child. I understand busy kitchens face challenges, but I hope the restaurant can improve both their food preparation standards and customer service. Fresh preparation and genuine concern for customer satisfaction would make such a difference. July 4th - 2pm"

"The porridge was very tasty — I ordered it without nuts for my child. The avocado toast was also delicious"

"I found this place several years ago when I lived in Santa Cruz, I always ordered the frittata panini on gluten free. It was the best sandwich! Now I live 2.5 hrs away & go once a year. The last 2 years the sandwich was barely yummy & in fact this time - last week - they had the nerve to hand me a burnt sandwich - for $22! People were waiting on me so I opted not to send it back but it should not have been served that way in the first place. It's also been lacking flavor and little or no butter was used, plus they seem to remove the potato when I add avocado (which costs extra). The sweet carrot missing, as well. They obviously have different cooks now& less concern on what comes out of the kitchen. On top of only going once a year, it's also my only cheat day per year, so the disappointment was palpable. Last week was my last visit. They obviously don't want my repeat business. Updating from three stars to two stars 4 months later for lack of response from the owners.."
