Heavenly Roadside Café

Love this place. I can say it can be a hidden gem. It is family run business and has been around for for decade. They serve American style dishes which you will find at most of American Diner place. We arrived for brunch/lunch and it was busy that time. They have indoor and outdoor sitting and we chose outdoor. It was nice sitting area where you can freely speak. We order Benedict's Place, Don Juan Salad, just two eggs, potato and taost, extra bacon and chicken fried steak. the portion is good and price wise, they are reasonable. The food was yummy. I like the benedict and also fried steak and the gravy. Overall service was ok.

We stopped here for lunch on a Sunday. There was a 20 mins wait and service was a bit slow. We had the chicken pesto sandwich, the Baja scramble, coffee and classic iced mocha. The sandwich was delicious. The scramble was quite watery and flavourless. But the prices were great.

I had to get my order to go, so I can’t properly review the service at the table, but with the encounter I had while ordering they were AMAZING, very kind, funny, and just a pleasure to talk to. When our food did come out they added in a bunch of sauces and packets that I wasn’t even sure I needed, it felt like you were truly being taken care of. The food itself even after a 12 minute drive home was incredible, if I had to choose a criticism it would the lack of seasoning on the potatoes BUT this didn’t take away from the phenomenal dish! I will definitely recommend this establishment, and I will absolutely be coming back to dine in this time

I got the brunch special, croissant sandwich, and it was delicious. The fruit that came with it was fresh and had a nice variety.

Super cute atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Salmon Benedict was amazing. Cold brew mocha was tasty.

Belgian waffle was really really good. Delicious bacon too. My only complaint was fried egg over medium was too watery, but perhaps I could have mentioned well done. Great cozy place to spend a Sunday morning. Only thing is the waiting area gets pretty claustrophobic when it's raining. Service was very quick. Great place for a breakfast! Only complaint is how pricey it is, but perhaps thats inflation based.

I am writing this while still waiting for my card to be returned after paying, because I simply couldn’t wait to review this AMAZING place! We rolled in with 1 minute notice for 9 people and were seated IMMEDIATELY, and received kind, welcoming service. Not only was everyone’s food brought out promptly, but every bite was some of the most delicious food we’ve had in the area! The bacon was truly the heavenly part of their name. You won’t be disappointed if you come here!

While visiting my son in Monterey and staying in Santa Cruz my friend suggested this awesome breakfast spot. The food was fresh and delicious! So much I went back the next day. Highly recommend if you’re visiting the Santa Cruz, CA area. 😋

We love the French Toast at Heavenly! It's cooked in the skillet perfectly until it has that lovely golden brown coloring. It's the perfect mix of crunchy edges and soft texture in the middle with a blend of cinnamon spices. We always try to order other breakfast items but tend to go back to the French Toast time and again. We love the dining options of indoors during the winter months and lovely tables outside with warmer weather and temperatures. The service is prompt and fast. We never wait too long for our orders. It's a great breakfast spot that brings us back time and again.

My family and I were visiting Santa Cruz and Big Sur over Labor Day Weekend. Heavenly Roadside Cafe is a popular place. We arrived around 10 am and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. We ordered the following items: huevos rancheros (9/10). The sauce was tasty! The short stack of pancakes was amazing!. The Rico Suave burger with a side salad, 8/10. Last but not least, the cab sandwich and bacon with fries. 9/10. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and helpful--plenty of parking available. I suggest you arrive early to avoid waiting too long. We noticed it started getting busy after 10:30 am on a Monday.

Service was a little slow this morning, but food tasted great, prices are fair, and the portions were pretty large. A great classic American breakfast/brunch option in Scott's Valley (probably my favorite in the area)

Great service, good food and lovely vibes. Mocha was great, nice coffee and not too sweet I love the small plate crab cake, it came with salad, just the right portion for me Smoked salmon Benedict was awesome, the cubed potatoes were delicious, salmon was tasty and the runny eggs were amazing. We seated outside under the tree shaded area, it's a pretty day. The staffs were fantastic too, smiling and quick service

Heavenly Roadside Cafe is such a hidden gem. I tried the veg club sandwich, eggs benedict and the Cobb salad. Honestly, everything was delicious! The portions are huge like you definitely won't leave hungry. The staff is super friendly and the whole place has this relaxed vibe with really nice outdoor seating. It's the kind of spot you stumble on once and want to come back to. Highly recommend!

Bomb! So glad this location is open. Such a beautiful setting with nature around. Kinda loud and busy inside but still enough space. I got a veggie Benedict which had spinach and mushrooms. Super good. Potatoes were great too. No complaints about my friends, with linguica. They are busy but Service friendly and efficient. Would definitely go back. Menu looks delicious

This is a cute cafe literally on the side of the road. I felt transported to a small town in the Midwest when I walked in. The service was great. People were friendly and attentive. Food came out fast. And they served breakfast dishes all day, so my friend and I both got breakfast for lunch! The portions were huge that I had to take part of it home. We even got their special lemonade with mango purée, which was perfect for a hot day. I knocked off a star only for the lack of A/C and decor, but those items are pretty small. I would recommend Heavenly Roadside to friends.

Came here thinking this was a good place it was HORRIBLE let me tell you it was hot in here and it's still morning !! They give you toast and you ask for jelly they give you one jelly make it last !! Burger was under seasoned no mayo mustard or ketchup you have to ask for all that and by the time you ask for all that you get the death stare by waitress don't ask for napkins either and the biscuit and gravy was gross no sausage in it extra heavy on the cream plus instead of two biscuits and two eggs for 17$ they cut one biscuits in half and tried to pass it as two biscuits and only one egg then the water is very gross so you have to buy a soda that's another 4 dollars avoid at all cost you been advised Very over hyped and over priced not worth your time trust me

Food here is AMAZING!!! They have inside and outside seating, but not gonna lie the service wasn't really the best. The people up front didn't want to interact much and left my party standing in confusion when we asked how we were able to get a table.... But like I said the food most definitely made up for everything else. I had the Bronx sausage with scrambled eggs, roadside potatoes, and an english muffin 8.5/10 Prices aren't bad at all either, plus very VERY great portions!!

While visiting Santa Cruz, we discovered Heavenly Roadside Cafe while looking up breakfast places. Such a hidden gem! I ordered a belgian waffle with fresh fruit and it was so crispy and buttery! The fruit was all fresh and delicious. My boyfriend ordered an omelette with bacon and avocado with potatoes on the side. It was a great portion and he liked it a lot! The service was great and the views were as well.

Omg...WOW! My wife and I love to go out to breakfast. It's totally our thing. With that said, I can't believe we've never eaten here! I don't know where to begin. With the first bite, I couldn't wait to come back and try more. I love to research yelp and I was ready for this place. I enclosed a picture from my food research journal. First off..they give you a lovely glass bottle of water for the table. My wife and I ordered coffee. Amazing coffee!!! So bold and not a tad bitter! After the first sip of coffee, I knew this was going to be a treat. I ordered the Portuguese omelet. It came with potatoes and I substituted toast for a biscuit and a side of gravy. The omelet was incredible. I gave a bite to my wife and she said it was "like fireworks in your mouth"...That's totally my opinion! The potatoes were perfect. The biscuits was lovely and the gravy was next to perfect. Everything was so fresh. My wife had the classic eggs ben...they definitely don't skimp on the fresh hollandaise sauce. She loved it. We walked away feeling full all day, but not "food coma" tired. We talked about how wonderful the food was all day. I can't wait to go back and try more. Also, out waitress, Mayra, was so attentive and sweet! We'll be back...probably this week. Such a gem! Next time I'll definitely try a mimosa!

Hands down, the very best eggs Benedict I've ever had! Ham was a nice thick slice, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and I don't know how they make the sauce so frothy, but I'm a fan!!! Hubby had the linguisa and eggs which were really good too! Place was packed but they do a great job of moving people through quickly!

Super delicious food! Great service and nice ambiance. I usually get eggs Benedict. Pancakes etc Love coming here.

We went here on a recommendation and so glad we did! From the service to food we had an amazing meal. Food portions were big and delicious! Looking forward to going back. Such a cute place!

So, first let me say I've been to this place a good 8 times. Always have had good service. Went this morning for breakfast, just one person. I sat outside and waited. It took at least 10 minutes for me to get a menu, this was after I had waited patiently. Finally I asked twice for a menu. Then it was a good 15 minutes to order. Also let me say there were two other tables with customers. They had both been served already. To say that they were totally unorganized is an understatement. Also there were no less than 4 employees coming and going all this time. What did come very quickly was the bill. Again after waiting for someone to take my money, I finally went in inside and paid. Not way to run outside service.

We stopped in at Heavenly on a whim. Both the and the restaurant were FULL! We didn't pay attention, but the place was about 15 minutes from closing. Instead of turning us away, they seated us in an already closed area and served us quickly. Thanks to them! We ordered two burgers. Mine was a regular burger and was HUGE. At least a 1/2 lb. Cooked to order--medium. Hubs ordered a bacon and blue burger, and he said it was delicious! Fries were also hand cut and had skins on. Nice touch! Service was good, and even though we were imposing, they never made us feel unwelcome. We would definitely return to eat again.

Really good everything. Guava Mimosa, french toast, eggs benedict, all great. Lots of parking. Good service.

Nice roadside breakfast in Scott's Valley. Friendly staffs and good breakfast options, the salmon egg benedict is perfectly cooked. Recommended for breakfast/brunch in the area~

Giant onion rings! Blue Cheese Fries! Homey vibes! What else could you ask for? My boyfriend and I went around noon on a Friday, so it wasn't packed. We got seated pretty quickly, got our orders in and just enjoyed the overall feel of the place. Our plates were huge! He devoured his, and I took half of my sandwich home. I can't speak for his sandwich, but I tell you the crab cake sandwich was tasty, and had perfect amount of everything. Came here right after zip lining, so this helps us get grounded (aha ha) with our tastebuds.

Food was fresh and delicious. Service was also quick and friendly. Portions are large too!

As said by their store name, a sweet little cafe by the road! We came here on a Thursday after Christmas around 12pm and it was packed! Parking was a little difficult to navigate since the lot feels a little small for the amount of people, but we managed to grab a spot. After waiting for about 15-20 minutes we got seated by their friendly staff. I got their cinnamon French toast, and it was yummy! Sweet enough to not add any maple syrup if you want, and also very fluffy! Despite the wait, we will definitely come back :)

Ambiance: it's literally a roadside place, spacious outdoor and indoor dining area, the inside is divided into two sessions by the narrow hallway Service: super friendly, fast and attentive, also accommodated with special requests Food: menu for standard items and specials for breakfast and lunch Crab Cake Benedict - **** with house made crab cakes, served with two poached eggs, fresh made hollandaise, the crab cake was lackluster, but the hollandaise sauce was good, would still recommend French Toast - *** served with syrup and butter, good presentation although a bit dry Price: generous portions and reasonable prices, about $30 plus for a very full filling meal

It was a nice sunny day and perfect weather to drop in for a bite at Heavenly Roadside Cafe's pet-friendly patio. The wait on this Sunday lunch hour was less than 10 minutes. For our 1st time here, we tried: * Crab Cake Salad - The 2 Maryland style crab cakes were awesome. Good size, fresh & tasty, minimal filler. Over a bed of fresh mixed greens salad with citrus slices, lemon vinaigrette, side of toasted sourdough. We'd come back for this one. * Huevos Rancheros - Eggs, black beans, salsa, light sprinkle of shredded cheese, over lukewarm corn tortillas. Nice fresh avocado slices on top, served with a side of breakfast potatoes. Perhaps a side of Mexican-style rice would have been more appropriate. For a supposed House Specialty, I wasn't so impressed. Service was friendly, prices are reasonable. Convenient stop for brunch/lunch between the South Bay and Santa Cruz.

This has to be my one of my favorite Santa Cruz local breakfast/brunch restaurants. The service is great. They have a wonderful patio outside to enjoy the fresh air. The food is so delicious. Best onion rings I've tried ever. The club sandwich I grabbed was fresh and crispy with bacon. And the omelette was so good with fresh avocado. They also have mimosas. I can't wait to come back.

The prices are very reasonable. My partner and I ordered an omelette to share, expecting one plate with extra plates for us to split it ourselves. However, they thoughtfully divided the meal for us! A lovely experience with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.

We are there several times on our last visit to the Scotts Valley area. Service staff was excellent. Place was always busy, but we didn't have to wait too long. Breakfasts were terrific. Place was clean. Portions were good. My wife and I split the entrees as we are not big eaters generally.

First time! 4-4.5 Came for the waffle (read reviews) Waffle was simple & good, i'd return. Genuine service, kind servers. Ate indoors, outdoor seating is a nice option when there is good weather. Ordered Special (w seasonal fruit) waffle eggs chicken sausage/bacon Iced coffee- Personally i like a creamy coffee we weren't a fan of the iced coffee. -0.5

I honestly didn't get pictures of everything because I was so hungry but everything was so good! Fresh and hot! Their ABT Benedict was my favorite, not pictured because I demolished it before I remembered to get one. I did get a picture of the BLT Breakfast Sandwich and my sister said it was a 10/10. I love how attentive our waiter Parker was, ask for him!! We had a semi big party and he was on point with everything. We sat outside on their patio and it was really nice. Pomegranate mimosa was the cherry on top!!

Loved EVERYTHING!!! Awesome service, great venue, food was so comforting and delicious. Definitely a return destination.

The Ms Piggy was so good! The CAB sandwich was delicious! Service was great. We will definitely be returning.

I'm so glad we passed by this cafe on our way to check in our hotel in Scotts Valley. The next morning we were excited to try this place out since the food looked amazing! Prices were the same as pretty much any where else like Denny's or IHOP . Except this exceeds them both. It's like a home cooked meal, so good! Staff was nice and attentive to our table. We got there around 8:15 am and there was no wait. There is plenty of seating. It looks small when you first walk in but there is other dining area on the opposite side of the building. It does get pretty busy as it was starting to get busier when we're getting ready to leave. We will definitely come back when in the area again.

I was extremely impressed with Heavenly Roadside Cafe. The service was genuinely friendly and very attentive. They checked on us frequently enough to ensure our coffee was refilled and food came out very quickly. Speaking of food, it's scary how good their breakfast is. I ordered a no-frills Cali scramble and it's like I had great breakfast for the first time. The eggs were fluffy and without any grease; the bacon pieces were abundant and flavorful; the avocado was ripe without any brown pieces; the toast was perfectly toasted; the potatoes were deliciously seasoned and had plenty of crispy parts making it impossible to stop eating them. It blew my mind how good this simple breakfast. Worth a detour for sure! This was also the first time we brought our dog with us. Their outdoor patio is dog-friendly and not too crowded, which was great for his outing. Except for the occasional bark to greet the waiter, our pup did well. The staff was also very kind and made Oakley feel welcome. Please give this place a try. You won't regret it.

Homey, cozy, small town vibe with excellent service. We ordered the crab cake Benedict, their waffle special, and a side of linguisa sausage. It was all delicious!

Satisfied Accommodating Clerk Convenient I'll go back for sure Ye

Excellent food , excellent service ! Just amazing This place surprised us . The omelettes cooked so well! The potatoes on the side you kept going for more . Our waitress was really good and all staff kept checking on our coffee. Definitely worth it for breakfast!

Location, location, location. Heaven on a roadside? Yes! This breakfast spot is nestled in the most gorgeous location with lovely green views at every angle. On a Saturday morning, it was well worth the wait. We were lucky enough to be the first table seated outside on the back porch- an open-air, wooden platform overlooking lots and lots of nature. At this point, it would seem near impossible not to enjoy the meal... it was difficult to choose an item, but each person in my party ordered something wildly different for breakfast, and we all cleaned our plates. A perfect place to dine and chat with your table and enjoy the views!

Our server chris was AMAZING. Food was bomb and the wait wasn't long. Definitely tickled my fancy

Heavenly Roadside Cafe is a hidden gem and truly roadside! The breakfast was the best I've had in a long time. Nice selection of breakfast and lunch options. My husband and I shared the French toast and a scramble (I can't remember the name of it). Both were delicious. The French toast was especially tasty. Just the right amount of sweetness and chewiness from the bread. My kids had the biscuits and gravy and the hash. They enjoyed their meals as well. The service was excellent as well. They kept the coffee coming and refilled our waters. Did I mention that we were a table of 8 (two families)?! They were very accommodating. We sat inside, but there is a nice patio area as well. I highly recommend this lovely cafe.

Food was pretty good and staff was excellent. Very friendly, efficient, and smiles all around. A good nook breakfast spot.

The service was phenomenal! Everyone on the staff team was friendly and they supported one another. The food was well prepared, presented like works of art and absolutely delicious. The prices were reasonable and each bite was money well-spent. The ambiance is at its peak when you sit on the outdoor patio and take in the breathtaking mountain views. I will be visiting it once more when my family visits the coast again.

One of the best places to enjoy brunch in the Santa Cruz area! Delicious food at reasonable prices with many options to choose from. They are always busy, and service is often slow, but worth the wait. The volume of conversations when dining inside can be quite loud. If the weather is good, request an outside table.

Great breakfast and lunch stop. Get the sweet potato fries! They're the best I've ever had. Friendly service and good value.

Food was delicious and serving size was large. Tried biscuits and gravy and glad I ordered half. Also tried the Baja scramble!!! Highly recommend to stop and try!!!

Good food, nice place to sit outside with your family, friends, dog, alone. Good service. usually busy so be prepared to wait for a table. comfortable atmosphere. good fresh breakfast.

Great spot if passing through Santa Cruz. Staff was quick to seat us and were very friendly and attentive. The food was great and their coffee was fantastic!

My daughter, grand-daughter and I stopped here for lunch! The food here is all homemade. We loved our server, who gave us some great menu ideas. The crab cakes are divine. The cowboy eggs Benedict on biscuits with gravy is outstanding . We are in Santa Cruz for several days and plan to go back one more time before we leave.

Excellent breakfast spot! Great food and great service! Tried the loaded roadside potatoes and french toast. Both were delicious! Fast and friendly service. Will definitely be back to try more menu items next time we're in Santa Cruz!

Great place for breakfast really good food. Got that eggs Benedict two kinds. Both of them delicious Service was great.
