My salad was so good! This place is cute, clean and served us a great lunch! We left with some sweet pastries too! Their gift shop is adorable and of course my kids loved it! We got a pumpkin muffin that they finished so fast! Everything was good! I spoke with some of the ladies that work here and they were all very friendly and helpful! One gave us some great suggestions for some kid friendly beach spots! Thank you! We will definitely be back!

We stopped here on the way to Capitola beach. We were so glad we did. Everything we tried was delicious. Parking is limited but it was worth sticking around.

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.

This cafe has the cutest gift shop with great items to peruse while you're in line for your food. I ordered a dry rose vanilla latte, which the barista made to perfection, and snagged a tasty blueberry muffin to go with it. It has great outdoor seating options, and really sweet employees! Highly recommended. Don't skip out on the pastry case, as well. They're beautiful!

Popped into this place on New Year's Day after a hike at the Forest of Nisene Marks. It was one of the few places open that day and that is a good thing! I had the braised short-rib sandwich. She had the turkey Sammie. Both were very good. I want to go back and explore more of the menu. YUM!!

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.

I LOVE THE FARM!! The BEST fruit tart in the whole county! I dream about it. It's so fresh, so delicious. It's perfection. They even make personal size tarts so you don't feel guilty about devouring a full size whole tart..but then again, it has fruit so it's basically like eating a fruit salad..healthy! They also do have a fabulous lunch menu! While you wait for your food, you can browse their cute little gift shop! Parking can be a bit tricky, but they offer additional parking by Cabrillo! Definitely a spot to check out!

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!
