"Fleeing city life to tend to his Santa Cruz Mountain farm, chef Matt McNamara, former co-owner of San Francisco’s Michelin-starred Sons & Daughters, teamed up with other Sons & Daughters alums to open this casual breakfast and lunch spot in Soquel. The seemingly simple menu features homemade bread and ingredients sourced from McNamara’s farm in items such as fried egg sandwiches and sesame cashew brittle yogurt (plus, there are burgers too). In early 2024, the restaurant doubled its footprint by expanding to downtown Santa Cruz, too." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri, Garrick Ramirez
