It’s a great place to eat if they actually have the ingredients for the items on the menu. I love the Goldilocks Oatmeal and there are other great foods they serve but they often run out of things before 10am. I’ve been coming here a lot over the years and that hasn’t changed, you can count on them not having what you want to order if you’re not there early.
A beautiful spot to grab a healthy bite right at the beach. We got the chicken salad sandwich, smoked turkey sandwich, and the harvest salad. Loved the home made pickled onions and side of pickled carrot too. Salad was fresh and tasty, perfectly dressed — and the the sandwiches were simple and tasty. Just the thing to energize you after (or before) a day in the sun and sand!
First time coming paid $35 for two burritos plus a $5 tip waited 30 minutes just to get an ice cold burrito that didn’t even have potatoes like we asked for. Gave them back and waited another week 10 minutes to be properly heated up just to get them back barely warm. Ended up taking them to our room to heat up in a microwave.
Beautiful Day, beautiful location
Delicious Breakfast burrito with avocado & bacon served with large drip Verve coffee & cream.
Great service, grab some goodies or a Picnic basket to bring to the beach.
Inside seating & outdoor picnic tables tight across from the beach, wharf, volleyball nets & Santa Cruz Boardwalk
Very excellent location can get to West Cliff to O’Neill’s or walk on the beach. Easily get to downtown shops on foot or by car.

This is a great spot for lunch. The chicken pesto baguette was one of the best I've had. All the other sandwiches couldn't be far behind. They've got ice cream as well. If you come to Santa Cruz, make sure this is part of your itinerary. Oh yeah, there's a beach around here somewhere. It provides enough overflow for places to eat your Picnic Basket sandwich.
We were in Santa Cruz for just one night and staying at a motel right by. We already read good reviews so the choice was simple.
We all had different salads, all of them were fresh, tasty and the portions generous. Price was fair, service courteous and fast. We would have definitely gone back if we would've stayed longer.

Highly recommend stopping here if you are ever in Santa Cruz. Across the street from the beach, the Picnic Basket offers high quality food for fair prices. I searched the whole area for an egg salad sandwich, decided on this spot, and was not disappointed. The macaroni and cheese was just amazing too, creamy and crunchy (bread crumbs). Plenty of seating (try to get a seat outside!), and the staff is very helpful, especially for first time visitors. 5 stars!
