Reviews for The Walnut Avenue Cafe in Santa Cruz, CA
We came in from San Jose, so we decided to try this place for breakfast. Entire staff was absolutely wonderful, and so was the... food for the most part. We waited 40 minutes for our table, which was to be expected. Wish they did offer Yelp waitlist for thewait times. The food was great, but I did take off 1 star for the "chilaquiles" I had. These were not close to traditionalchilaquiles at all, so I was disappointed when the plate was brought out. Other than that everything was great. Read more
Fantastic brunch place! Except the wait time?on a weekend you are looking at 15-40 mins of a wait. You leave your name and can... walk around the downtown. Food was a little slow. Shrimp and Tomato Benedict is a must-order! Parking is available right nextto the restaurant. Read more
Very friendly and attentive staff. Food portions are very generous. I got the Special #1 which is basically their chilaquiles... but instead of tortilla chips it's made with potatoes. Would order again. Outdoor and indoor seating available. Read more
I love eggs Benedict and their ahi tuna one is very unique. I can?t find this option from other places and it?s so flavorful and... delicious. I?d love to come back next time I visit Santa Cruz. They?re dog friendly and offered outdoor seating. They don?thave dog menu but we ordered a side bacon and scrambled eggs with no seasoning for our dog and she enjoyed them very much. Theyhave a long wait and they don?t take reservations so maybe next time we?ll come earlier and walk around the downtown whilewaiting. Read more
We ordered Shrimp and Tomato Eggs Benedict as well as Scrambled eggs with Turkey and avocado. Both were really satisfying in... both portion size and taste. The staff were very friendly and prompt to help out. Expect a small wait time of about 15-20 minsif you just walk in. Our next table people had a golden retriever and they served water and couple pieces of bacon to him. Wealso ordered one Hot Chocolate and a Vanilla Latte, the hot chocolate was really great, vanilla latte was alright. Overall veryhappy with everything and will definitely return the next time we are in Santa Cruz. Read more

Lovely place! Staff were all super friendly, interior was charming, and the menu options / portions were great!! So glad that... they had a tofu alternative for eggs :) I have an egg intolerance and usually can?t choose between much when I eat out forbreakfast, so that was awesome!!! More places should offer that. Brownie points because we saw an employee wiping down themenus!!! Super great. Read more
Table for 2, we arrived around 11:20am. We were told 30 min, we waited almost an hour. They have quarters if you need to add... parking. Limit $2. Table for 2 is crowded, small. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Food was great, potatoes were a littleburnt, but flavorful. Server's were often walking by offering coffee refill. I say, I'd come back. ???? Read more
