"Wish there was caramel on top of foam like I asked considering I paid for it! Otherwise it tastes good and portion was okay for the size iordered. The coffee was a little watered down so it wasnt super fresh but it was still good and I would order it again"
"I genuinely do not like Starbucks. The coffee is poor quality and the corporation does not care for their employees. The people working here are overworked and super young but are always patient, friendly, and work hard to meet the demands of every customer. What makes me return is the prices in comparison with other cafes on DoorDash and the kind, hardworking people that prepare it."

"The subtleness of the waffle makes the Chicken & Waffles Sandwich super solid alongside my White Chocolate Mocha perfect amount of sweetness. "
"It is so hard to find a good vegan brownie, typically they are so dry but this one is amazinggggg. It's a good portion size, I actually expected smaller so I'm more than happy to eat this masterpiece. The Everything Plant-Based Sandwich is so good, the cheese is melted very well and the egg is fluffy and actually reminiscent of eggs (I developed an allergy later in life so I miss eggs sometimes) so this is a big hit for me. The coffee is so FRESH! I'm sorry to get excited but for the past couple of try's at coffee from shops I have gotten such old, burnt coffee and to have an actual amazing cup I'm sooo happy and will be ordering again in the future!"

"I've spent a lot of time in the island so I love Puerto Rican food and this is the only Puerto Rican place I've ever seen in Santa Cruz. So it gets the benefit of hitting some cravings I couldn't find elsewhere.
The empanadillas are spot on. You'd find these on a food stall on the side of the road on the island. The carne frita is also on point. Flavored extremely well.
Only two small critiques are the tostones were a little either too thick or under fried due to the softness in the middle. And the mayo-ketchup is a little over balanced on the ketchup side in my opinion.
All in all this is a great place! Good portions. Flavorful seasoning, and items I have never seen in Santa Cruz before! I'll for sure be taste testing the whole menu!"

"Food was tasty. There wasn't much broccoli in the teriyaki chicken plate. Would have liked more of that. Dumplings were tasty also. Cucumber salad had good flavor, but wasn't as crisp, maybe because it warmed up in transport. Enjoyed all of the dishes."
"We have ordered here a lot but tonight everything was so bad.
The basil we received was rotten and the shrimp pho had no flavor it was just water. The shrimp was also changed from real prawn style to frozen bagged shrimp.
It's gone way downhill."

"Beyond Burger was amazing, Sweet Potato Fries were crispy and delicious. 10/10 would destroy this meal again."
"I ordered the Kids Grilled Cheese for a picky eater, and it came with a mountain of pickle slices on top of it, no joke, like a handful of them, which soaked the sandwich in pickle juice, making it inedible to a kid that doesn't like pickles. I also got the steak New York Steak Sandwich which was honestly just very bland, I added some salt and pepper which helped but the bread was not toasted and definitely not a garlic ciabatta roll.
and for the cost, I think unfortunately this will be my last order."

"GLUTEN FREE! Ordered sweet, chicken with red sauce, and pork. Arrived warm still Pork tamales hands down the best of the three but other two are good too. As others have stated, these tamales are decent sized, maybe double what you'd find in SF mission district. Even still, I easily put down three in one sitting. Lol the right pork to tamal ratio. They offer Tapatio. I'll definitely order again next time I'm back in Santa Cruz. "
"This is the pork red chile , the filling has good flavor the masa is soft . Good size large tamales ,well filled My masa was a little under cooked , not a game changer but it does make the flavor of the masa a bit bitter . We were RV'ing it out it in the microwave and problem solved. Would buy again ."

"Love this store! I had the Jade's Bowl and it was amazing. There are so many layers textures and flavors. Be sure to get the 'no lid' option because they top it off for you.
So sad they are moving out of the Capitola Mall because it was the best option for healthy food. I hope to see them again when I'm in dowtown Santa Cruz. "
