The pastries are good, and it's nice to have a dedicated GF bakery in the Santa Cruz area! Had a birthday cake made once, it tasted and looked great! But the bread steals the show. I would walk to the ends of the Earth for a loaf of this bread. Friendly service, small shop. But it's better to take your pastries to the beach down the street!

There's something really special about a place that just gets it.

Not picked-over, not an afterthought... a real selection. We got coffee and a bear claw, and it was one of those simple, perfect moments--everything tasted really good, no compromises. The space itself is small and sweet, and the kids working there were genuinely kind. It's the kind of spot that makes you feel taken care of without trying too hard. We left happy, and I'd absolutely come back.

Busy Saturday morning at this breakfast spot known for their egg brioche sandwiches, but honestly…read moreit was worth the wait. I tried the shrooms and the BAE sandwiches along with a side of tots, and everything came out really satisfying. The scrambled eggs were incredible -- super soft, creamy, and flavorful. The brioche buns were just as good, pillowy soft with a really nice sauce that ties everything together. The place is super clean, but it does get hectic since it's order first then seat yourself, so it can feel a little messy and chaotic finding a spot. I also went back later for a strawberry matcha latte and that was surprisingly good -- not overly sweet, and the matcha tasted high quality. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it. It felt better than Eggslut in LA in my opinion, and I'd come back again for sure.

They now change $0.25 for to-go cups, which I guess is a Santa Cruz ordinance. Can you imagine them doing that elsewhere? Oooooh my city would make a killing off that! Husband got his usual cold brew ($6.25 inc cup fee). No complaints except they don't fill it to the brim even if you don't want room for milk/cream. I got a tiramisu latte ($8.25 inc cup fee). I could see why they call it a tiramisu latte because of the mascarpone foam and the lady finger. It was decent, but I think I would have enjoyed a standard vanilla latte more. I also personally didn't like how the cold foam dripped down the side of the cup because it got all over my hands! As a former barista, I always made sure my drinks were clean before handing them out.

The fried bolani with its three dips was very satisfying, as was the fresh fettucine, with a choice of lamb (delicious!) or arugula pesto. The whole trout dish was superb.

Same great vibe, amazing food, and just an all-around solid experience. If you're in the area, Harbor Cafe is a must. I'll definitely be making it a regular stop again.

But the moment we walked in to a warm welcome and were seated right away, we knew we'd picked the right place. My grandson -- who can be a bit high‑energy -- was treated like a little gentleman. Seeing him enjoy himself let me actually relax and enjoy my own breakfast: a massive plate of French toast so good I couldn't even finish it.

Their service is great, the cashier was very polite and took an interest into where their customers are from. Los Pericos is a bit small considering there is always a line at the register so I prefer to pick up food to go to enjoy at the beach whenever in town. Overall rating was 4/5! I ordered the wet burrito with Al Pastor and added extra carne asada, and holy moly did they stack it fat. This is one of the largest burritos I got with my forearm as reference for size. I thoroughly enjoyed this item and I always get it whenever I come! JD Big Back Tip: Eating this bad boy with some chips is amazing, as the sauce and tremendous amount of protein from this order lets you enjoy the wet burrito and nacho experience all at once.
