It was a beautiful sunny day so we chose to dine outdoors on the patio. It was hard to decide what to go for because everything on the menu sounded delicious. We decided to split a cheeseburger and fries at the recommendation from our server:...“big and juicy. I’ll bring extra napkins.” The burger was fabulous along with the hot crispy fries. Our order was neatly split in half and the fries shared on two separate plates. Our friendly server checked in but didn’t hover. Super service! We highly recommend Linda’s Seabreeze Cafe.More

Just left this cute spot. Hubby and I here on vacation and followed reviews to this tiny spot. You sign in outside and wait to be called. We were seated within a few min. Friendly server was quick to be at our table. She gave...us great recommendations when we asked. We both ordered the tostada omelette with potatoes and cinnamon rolls. It did not disappoint!! Server also recommended “the pepper plant” hot sauce and also the house made scorpion hot sauce, I could eat here everyday of the trip because there were many things on menu and specials board I would have loved to try.More

One of the best tuna melt sandwiches I've ever had. Not overly cheesy and grilled to perfection. Relaxed comfortable environment.

Linda's Seabreeze Cafe is a popular place. If you don't get there early, expect to wait. The food is very good - we had an omelet and pancakes. By got there just before 9 am and waited about 15 minutes. When we left the wait...was much longer.More

We ended up heaving breakfast here twice during a shorter stay in santa Cruz and it was excellent on both occasions. There is always a queue, with requirement to putting your name down and waiting to be called, bit ourselves experience waste no more than...about 10-15 mins of waiting. Also note this is a cash only establishment (there is an ATM on site, though it charges $2 per transaction). We ended up having waffles, pancakes, TeX mex and cinnamon bun, all of which were excellent. Highly recommendedMore

Other Trip Advisor reviews were right on ranking this the #1 lunch spot in Santa Cruz! Decided to stop while driving on PCH 1. So glad we did. All home made food. Huge omelette with fruit or potatoes AND toast or cinnamon roll. Waffle was...huge in diameter. Thin, not Belgian, but excellent. Tuna melt with a side salad was excellent! Highly recommend this place! It’s a little drive (2 mi) off the highway but worth it.More

What a fantastic breakfast! I had the omelette with turkey breast, avocado, and cheese. All of the ingredients were quality and fresh. I was offered salsa, which I accepted. I think it was house made (chunks of green onion) and was so good! The food...came out FAST in spite of them being fairly busy on a late Saturday morning. The service was very efficient and friendly - we never had empty coffee cups or water glasses. And the cinnamon roll on the side (one of the choices besides toast with the omelet)-OMG! What a great local breakfast/lunch spot. Wished we lived closer!More

It is not dead silent, but it is definitely quiet enough to have a good conversation.
