Great food!!! Great service!!! If I ever come back to Santa Cruz I will eat here again!!! Thank you Linda's Seabreeze Cafe highly recommended👌😊💯
Great place, reminds me of the cafés I grew up in. Bring cash, they done take plastic.
Very good - interesting breakfast specials. Orange poppy seed pancakes - yum!
It was good , be careful upon going because there is usually a wait but the interesting thing about that is they offer coffee to those who wait so it doesn't seem too long of a wait and u can get a menu so when u sit down u know what u want
CINNAMON ROLLS. For breakfast or brunch:
If you don't already know about this, let me divulge the secret: ask for a cinnamon roll instead of toast/muffin. They don't list them on the menu, but they are the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had.
Linda's always has bombdiggity fresh ingredients served in buttery perfection. And a cute environment, too. Just go...

It's time for another breakfast foods review! 🍳
Parking lot is currently transformed to outdoor seating, so be ready to look for street parking. Luckily, the tables rotate quickly, so you'll only need about 1.5 hours' worth of quarters!
When we arrived, there were about 5-6 parties ahead of us and I want to say we probably waited only 15 minutes. When we were seated, they quickly took our drink orders and moved the specials menu right next to our table for browsing. I appreciated that a lot. 🥺
What we got:
- orange juice (fresh pressed!!)
- sourdough toast
- cinnamon rolls
- turkey avocado omelette
- two eggs with sausage and potatoes
- clam chowder
The clam chowder came with a slice of garlic toast. Oyster crackers will no longer suffice; this is the new standard. It was hearty with lots of chunky veggies.
I've never been to a breakfast place that offers toast, muffins, or FREAKIN CINNAMON ROLLS with their breakfast sets. I think it's pretty obvious what I went with. My eggs and sausage were pretty standard, hard to mess those up. The potatoes were okay, very forgettable. If I could go back in time, I just wouldn't have eaten them. They seemed like boiled potatoes that were cooked on the skillet briefly.
The cinnamon roll was phenomenal. I don't like having nuts(or pecans?) in sweets, but we finished it anyway. It's soft and gooey (but still completely cooked). A smidge of butter is provided to make it extra indulgent. So good!
The orange juice came in a cute cup and was the perfect amount of tartness to cut through the hearty dishes from this meal.
I've been to very little Santa Cruz eateries, but it's clear Linda's cafe is loved by locals and tourists alike.
Excellent breakfast with lots of fresh fruit options on french toast, waffles , and pancakes. Their fresh squeezed orange juice is memorable as was fresh cinnamon roll option. Great servers make this a must stop destination and one I will return to eat.
I was very impressed fresh squeezed orange juice! My waffle was very light with a lot of fruit with cream the sausages the eggs were very lovely. My boyfriend got Texas toast French toast sunny side up egg and two strips of bacon it will really fill you up this meal. The waitresses were very nice. If I could eat there again I would.
First, I have to say the “wait staff” were awesome. They were friendly, attentive, and they all worked together as a team (so nice)!
The food was delicious! We were hungry and wanted to try everything, but picked out a few different items. The biscuits and gravy were great 👍👍, the cinnamon roll was delicious (husband ate it, because I am allergic to walnuts), crispy bacon - just like we ordered, and blueberry pancakes 🥞! The Apple sausage and eggs were perfect! This is a great little place (cash only). Looking forward to going back 😋.
Absolutely fantastic food and amazing service. Highly recommend the fresh squeezed orange juice. Hearty American portions. Great diner coffee. Real Santa Cruz feel. I will definitely be back.

We are here visiting for a family wedding and we were in search for breakfast. My nephew is a foodie and searched for our breakfast destination. He decided on Linda's Seabreeze Cafe. We found it and parked curbside. They also have their own parking lot. We arrived was promptly seated. We timed it right because within minutes, there was a line waiting to get it. I suspect that even though they have a good number of tables, this is the spot people seek out. After reading the menu and specials, we ordered. I was ready for a glass of orange juice. The others got coffee. The orange juice was fresh squeezed and delicious and refreshing. The food came quickly and I was ready to dig in. I got the popeye omelet and a blueberry muffin. They offer plenty of choices for side carb like, toast, English muffins. Cinnamon rolls or muffin. All meals came with home fries. I can honestly tell you that this was the best breakfast I have had in a long time. Why? Because by the first look and bite, you know whoever is cooking, cares about your food. My home made corn/blueberry muffin was pleasantly not sweet and scrumptious. I would have given them 10 stars if that was an option. The staff was friendly and worked like a well oiled machine. When in Santa Cruz, you NEED to go here for breakfast. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Excellent restaurant. I ordered the scrambled eggs with minced ham, country potatoes, and an apricot muffin: delicious!
Our go to place for breakfast or brunch! Great service, great food, great sensitivity to Covid-delta with good outdoor spacing (and probably inside, as well). Almost got their great Seabright Spuds (quite reminiscent of my old face, Berkeleys Sneaky Pete's Cafe's Hoky, Moly Frijole Bowl). But got the Yucatan Special, instead - two eggs over easy on top of corn tortillas, topped with Sour Cream & Salsa (salsa on request), in a sea of black beans & grilled onion, accompanied by home fried potatoes. My wife had the Mendocino Special Scramble, with feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and Basil, with home fried potatoes & a banana muffin. Absolutely delicious, and terrific service -,well worth the wait on a Sunday mid-morning!
