Came here with hubby and our big pup on a Saturday for brunch. There was a small crowd waiting for a table but we waited ~20 min. Sat outside (it was a nice day) and our server was Mayra. She was great! Brought out a bowl of water for our pup and was friendly and attentive. We got the John Wayne burger and crab cake Benedict. They were delicious. We got the unseasoned chicken breast for our pup. She gobbled it up! It was so nice to sit out on their patio. Spacious and friendly vibe. Highly recommend!

Benedict's Place
Dharma M.

Love this place. I can say it can be a hidden gem. It is family run business and has been around for for decade. They serve American style dishes which you will find at most of American Diner place. We arrived for brunch/lunch and it was busy that time. They have indoor and outdoor sitting and we chose outdoor. It was nice sitting area where you can freely speak. We order Benedict's Place, Don Juan Salad, just two eggs, potato and taost, extra bacon and chicken fried steak. the portion is good and price wise, they are reasonable. The food was yummy. I like the benedict and also fried steak and the gravy. Overall service was ok.

My family and I were visiting Santa Cruz and Big Sur over Labor Day Weekend. Heavenly Roadside Cafe is a popular place. We arrived around 10 am and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. We ordered the following items: huevos rancheros (9/10). The sauce was tasty! The short stack of pancakes was amazing!. The Rico Suave burger with a side salad, 8/10. Last but not least, the cab sandwich and bacon with fries. 9/10. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and helpful--plenty of parking available. I suggest you arrive early to avoid waiting too long. We noticed it started getting busy after 10:30 am on a Monday.

Mocha

Great service, good food and lovely vibes. Mocha was great, nice coffee and not too sweet I love the small plate crab cake, it came with salad, just the right portion for me Smoked salmon Benedict was awesome, the cubed potatoes were delicious, salmon was tasty and the runny eggs were amazing. We seated outside under the tree shaded area, it's a pretty day. The staffs were fantastic too, smiling and quick service

Loaded potatoes

A great find on our vacation when we needed a breakfast spot on the way to the Santa Cruz area on a Tuesday in June. We were seated right away and the food came out super quickly. The service and food was great. Reminded us of a restaurant we frequent near home - even the dishes were similar. I had the loaded potatoes which were delicious. My son enjoyed his omelette. Definitely recommend this hidden gem!

Loaded Veggie Potatoes (added chicken sausage)

Service was a little slow this morning, but food tasted great, prices are fair, and the portions were pretty large. A great classic American breakfast/brunch option in Scott's Valley (probably my favorite in the area)

Heavenly Roadside Cafe is such a hidden gem. I tried the veg club sandwich, eggs benedict and the Cobb salad. Honestly, everything was delicious! The portions are huge like you definitely won't leave hungry. The staff is super friendly and the whole place has this relaxed vibe with really nice outdoor seating. It's the kind of spot you stumble on once and want to come back to. Highly recommend!

Veggie Benedict, and a classic breakfast with linguica
Sheena M.

Bomb! So glad this location is open. Such a beautiful setting with nature around. Kinda loud and busy inside but still enough space. I got a veggie Benedict which had spinach and mushrooms. Super good. Potatoes were great too. No complaints about my friends, with linguica. They are busy but Service friendly and efficient. Would definitely go back. Menu looks delicious

Such a hidden gem! We got a seat outside, the deck was so peaceful. The server was nice and gave great recommendations. Everyone in my group loved how crispy the potatoes were.

Do they take reservations?

Any gluten and dairy free options?

Try eggs and bacon with orange juice and coffee with artificial creamer--doesn't seem that tough to find a meal

If any coffeeshop deserves five stars, it's Cruise in Scott's Valley! When we said it was our first…read moretime, the staff walked us through the menu, and told us what they liked most, and how most items on the menu were made in house. Our lattes were made with such care, and a staff member even brought out extra bruschetta board toppings from an order she had for free. The sitting areas are perfect for catching up with a friend or doing some work, and the outside patio is large and stunning. The eclectic duck decor added a nice touch to an already beautiful space with high ceilings. There is a play area for children, and a lot of bikers come around on their bike stops. Parking is in the lot behind Cruise, and there was plenty of parking on a Saturday afternoon. I did not see any outlets for charging laptops. Overall, I had the best time ever at Cruise. You should stop by, and I will be coming back again soon!

As we got off the freeway, she looked up and there was a coffee shop right down the street. He stopped in here for a quick bite. The two barista is helping us were incredibly helpful and patient since we had to read everything on the menu. I also loved how their store was set up and they sold local arts and crafts from the community! I love the community aspect here in Santa Cruz County! Perhaps she misread the menu, but she thought "egg stacker" was a sandwich because it was under the "bagel sandwich "category. But under the description, it does not say there's any bread. Lol, which is better for us since we're trying to be gluten-free for the day. I had an ice green tea and a salmon egg which was delicious and filling perfectly made egg with the right amount of capers and seasoning for each bite to have enough flavor on it. The green tea was perfect since it was 92°! I can't wait till we get to the beach! I was sad. They didn't have any nitro coffee, but I will definitely come back to try more pastries since it seems like they were out but then again we got there about 30 minutes before they closed. Lol.

They have a varied menu and you can also order Jia Tella from here since they are the same owner. Beer on tap selection is abundant. I try a new one each visit. We have dinner here 1-2 a week and still never get through them. Their burgers and sliders are my favorite and for $15 it's the same price as a McD's combo and tastes so much better. The patties are charbroiled with crispy edges. All different versions.. including surf and turf, western and gorgonzola and arugula etc. I like the classic best. I love their side options .. besides fries they have tater tots, beer battered onion rings (tempura crispy), onion strings, and sweet potato fries. They also have pizza, tons of salad options with many options to add protein on top. The Hightower salad (has bean salad on top) and adding grilled chicken breast is my favorite. They also have pizza and other stuff but I stick to my usuals and am happy :) The nicest cashiers ever and their ranch dressing is really good, which is one of my pet peeves lol. They have sports on TV and you can sit at the bar and watch the Warriors games. They also have a couple of couches inside and outdoor seating with heat lamps. Try Two Doors - you will be happy you did :)

Unique coffee and metaphysical tea place in Santa Cruz. A lot of drinks are made like "potions"…read moreand or based on elements of the earth and health with a mystical alchemist flare. They serve also acai bowls and some other food, but today my friend and I wanted to try a coffee or a potion drink. My friend got the matcha. She said it was a bit strong, but she asked for it less sweet so maybe that is why it tasted a little bitter. I had the dandelion latte which was supposed to be good for the stomach. It had a slightly sweet flavor but not too sweet because I asked for it less sweet. It was actually very very good. They were served in rustic bowls like a potion. The atmosphere has the mystical alchemy theme throughout with couches, separate rooms and cool hammock chair swings to sit in. Very cool vibe. If in the area again, I will definitely be back to try something else and for that dandelion latte.

They have a variety of options for acai bowls, as well as really cool drinks, aka the elixirs. Each one serves a different purpose i'd say which is super cool and fun to browse through. The worker was super friendly and helpful when we asked questions. The inside is also such a cool vibe, with hammocks hung up and multiple cozy hang out spots. I would definitely check this spot out when you are in Santa Cruz!
