This is my favorite place to have breakfast or lunch. The food never disappoints and the staff is amazing. It’s become a weekly thing to go here. I feel more like family then a customer! If you have never tried it before I really recommend it. There is something for everyone on the menu and the bloody Mary’s are among the best. My go to is the banana pancakes or a frittata for breakfast and the burger for lunch.

The best food and the best staff, especially Christy, Lindsey and Rocco! Love everything about it. It is a must visit when in Santa Cruz. Bonus~they make the best Bloody Mary's. Donna-Cincinnati, OH
This place is exceptional!! We have visited this spot a few times and it has been amazing each time even if you have to wait an hour on the weekend�super delicious food and the servers are awesome! Love the atmosphere and would recommend anyone to try it! Also, dog friendly outside seating! �will be back soon!
Our group was staying down the street so we walked down to the Cafe. It looked crowded but the wait was worth it. Ample portions and cooked just as I requested. Very good food. I would highly recommend and will definitely eat there next year when we visit again!
One of my favorite places to eat in Santa Cruz. I am not a young one, but have been treated like family there. Love the food and our service has always been great. Sometimes have to wait a bit, but always worth the wait.
This place came highly recommended by a couple we met at a local brewery the night before. The sun was out so we enjoyed a killer breakfast made with local ingredients on the patio 😊
Get the Cali eggs bennidict, it's the. Great breakfast place. A must have anytime in Santa Cruz. Great service, great food, great company.
Small local restaurant with great food and drinks. Being a small restaurant there is a wait most of the time but on weekends the outside barvisbopennso u can have a drink while you wait. I have yet to have a bad experience here. Just a great place!
Service and food was excellent. FAST service! Obvious from the large crowd that this is a favorite place. The waiter was more than 5 star!!
Great spot for tasty breakfast. Outdoor seating if you want to bring your pup. Awesome veggie burrito and Cali Benedict. Be prepared to wait... but it’s worth it.
Amazing staff, phenomenal grub, perfect location! Love this place. Best breakfast burritos of Santa Cruz. But don't just take a rockstars word for it, go down and fall in love yourself!!
Honestly the best breakfast I have ever had. New favorite place!!!
They have me for life.
We had a big group and the food was all delivered pretty much together. No one had a bad breakfast and the service was satisfactory! Love eating at Harbor Cafe anytime we can.
Breakfast is amazing. Great flavor, portion, and presentation.

Harbor Cafe is a great brunch / lunch location. It’s a tiny little spot on 7th Ave near the Harbor. They don’t take reservations and are on a first come first serve basis. They are only open Thursday - Monday from 9-2pm but definitely worth the wait.
They have great Bloody Mary’s with lots of goodies to snack on while you drink on a little skewer.
The breakfast burrito is my go to if I am having breakfast or brunch. If I go later and end up having lunch, they usually have great specials, or I get the fish tacos. Also, I love that they serve Verve coffee, a delicious local coffee roaster.
Get here early and be prepared to wait and enjoy!
One of the best option for breakfast, brunch and lunch around Santa Cruz. Great food, great serve and nice atmosphere. Plan ahead to go there and be ready for a little wait, even more during weekends but it worth the waiting. I went there sundar around 11:30 and I waited 10 min to get a table. I highly recommend a visit.
You know it's a great place if there is a wait with free coffee refills. They also text you when the table is ready. The food was very tasty. Had their crown jewel dish Cali Croissant and open faced sando. They also had latkas fried in peanut oil as a special. Great experience!
This place was so good! My family ages 2 to 62 enjoyed the menu. The service was impeccable and safe eating outside:)
I have been eating at harbor cafe for about 9 years now. There is so much I love about this place. The atmosphere is 5/5, a relaxed breakfast place near the beach with lots of outside seating. I also love their food, though I feel my regular order (was the Mexican armada, since that's been gone since covid I order carnitas omelettes with ranchero salsa) has been slipping in quality. My girlfriend always loves her scrambles that she gets. Overall a great experience and would recommend.
Definitely coming back had a great time!! Once I get a second home out here I can definitely walk to get a mimosa at the outside bar that they provide while we wait for our table and they provide a coffee bar while you. Thank you! Come again!
