“ Deeelishous food, gluten free options in both lunch items and baked goods. I'm always satisfied when I eat here! ”
“ Lovely cafe with expensive gift items available. Varied menu with several quiche and sandwich and salad options. Good breakfast. Space is cold in winter, pleasant on nice days. Friendly staff. Food was good and prices are as expected given the neighborhood. We will definitely go back. Dog friendly patio is a huge plus. ”
“ The huevos rancheros were delicious! The toasty tortilla at the bottom with the beans and salsa and eggs were perfectly savory! ”
“ 2 words mane this a must do Savory pancakes Sant fe quiche( veg) The coffee is verve which I do not care for. I hope they change this ”
“ Came here for brunch before heading to an event around the area. There's the front and back patio with heater and indoor space for sitting. After ordering the staff gave us a pager and food came out in around 10 mins while coffee order was called by the name. Everything was self-serve. I was impressed with the BLAST but wish the toast could be warmer. Everything felt fresh though. They also serve Verve but I find the cappuccino a bit small. ”
“ Tons of places to sit and eat and it feels like there's a lot of room. The back (outside) has a private feel with tables scattered around. The front patio is really nice too and gives you a comfy feel. They have 4 heaters that I see turned on during the mornings so I know it's warm even on the coldest of days. Parking seems plentiful as well but we got here at 2PM on a weekday. I feel like they're a bit busier for breakfast, especially on the weekends. Lots of locals and it's very packed when I drive by. I hear their desserts are really good. Their quiche seems to be raved about a lot too. I will be trying them soon! You can't try everything here at once unless you're sharing with a bigger party. Their pickles and chips seem to be made here too. They have that good fresh taste to them. I had their blast sandwich and it was very good! Smoked salmon, bacon, avocado and your normal toppings. Will be back. ”
“ Fun place to chill with friends. Breakfast, sandwiches, and pastries. I had the torta. I added tapatio to spice it up a bit. The chips were awesome. Parking can be crazy. ”
“ What a find! Warmly greeted. Since I had never been here before, answered a slew of questions I had about their extensive menu. It was a tough choice, but I went with the Kick'n Chik'n Sandwich due to its uniqueness (Kim Chee and Fried Chicken was a new one for me.) For dessert, grabbed a Dream Bar from the bakery section. (Sorry, no photo. Guess I'll have to go back soon.) It was soft, a little chewy - a tad of coconut. Just the right size, too. Enough to not be a tease, but small enough where you didn't feel guilty for not sharing. ”
“ The Farm operates both as a bakery/cafe and a small boutique shop. My friend took us here because they love the quiche and pies. Sadly, none of these goodies were plant-based so I wasn't able to try myself, but they seem to do a lot of to-go orders for these items. I went with their Mushroom Tacos ($14.50) sans queso and asked them to add the vegan Chimichurri sauce that they'd normally include in their breakfast burrito. I'm not sure if my order actually had this but the mushroom tacos were still very tasty. Very tender shrooms and as good as you'd expect with all the toppings. I'm hoping they consider making some more vegan options available especially when it comes to their baked goods. I'll definitely swing by to try more of their food if so. Parking is available in a mini lot next to the shop. ”
“ Sister brought a huge fruit tart from Farm Bakery Cafe a few months ago, so when I found out this was in Santa Cruz, this was a must on my to-visit place in person! The fruit tart is amazing here. Perfectly sweet fruits. Delicious crust and the right amount of cream. The fruit tart in general is not overly sweet and has the perfect amount of texture. Came by hoping we could pay per slice, but they didn't have that option. Instead, they have a fruit tartlet for $7 which is your own personal fruit tart! It is a perfect size, but it is so addicting, you might need more than one. Parking on site. Be careful there is a steep dip turning into the parking lot..so scraped a bit of my car. I did see other folks order non-dessert food and it looked quite good with large portions. Might just need to try the food out next time! ”
