The Walnut Avenue Cafe

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 the wait times. The food was great, but I did take off 1 star for the "chilaquiles" I had. These were not close to traditional chilaquiles at all, so I was disappointed when the plate was brought out. Other than that everything was great.

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.

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’t have dog menu but we ordered a side bacon and scrambled eggs with no seasoning for our dog and she enjoyed them very much. They have a long wait and they don’t take reservations so maybe next time we’ll come earlier and walk around the downtown while waiting.

Came here and ordered shrimp and tomato eggs Benedict, French toast breakfast. You can have multiple times of coffee refills and service is so good here. I would definitely recommend here as one of best place for brunch in Santa Cruz. I used to sleep the whole morning during sat and sun, but here It makes my weekend different. Wanna try everything on menu one by one in the future.
