The Grove Cafe And Bakery

The Grove consistently has amazing food & drinks! It’s one of my favorite casual breakfast spots tucked away in the Santa Cruz Mountains just outside of town. They also do fun themed dinners every so often! I recently went to their plant based 5 course Shroomami themed dinner and every dish was incredible and it was super affordable for this type of service. I can’t not recommend this place more for locals & visitors from out of town!

We came as a big party... One girl was exceptionally amazing here. Wish I caught her name (short hair and working in the kitchen)... Somehow the child's avocados toast was not ordered and they were closing and everyone else got their food and she made sure to bring her food out regardless of if it was on them or us that it wasn't ordered.. then for that hassle they gave us a couple freebie cookies to make our day a little less stressful. The food was made with deliberate care... My potato leak soup was exquisite and so was my plate of breakfast with poached eggs, bacon, toast made in house. I'm normally super picky about breakfast because I feel like i can just make it myself for a tenth of the price, but here I just felt so happy to eat their organic, yummy fresh food. Also, they served our hot coffee and hot matcha in cutesy mugs which I really appreciated

First time eating here. Overall very impressed by the food. We had the grilled cheese special, the biscuit sandwich, and the strawberry and beet salad. Very good flavors. And pleasantly surprised to find out that they do indeed have mimosas, was not expecting them to have any booze so, I can officially call it brunch! Will definitely be back, and now I’m extra sad that I missed the French versus Italian community night dinner.

Jessica Yarr is a phenomenal chef and happens to be the stepdaughter of the in-town Bigfoot museum. I go back as often as I can for the savory scones. Her breakfasts are delicious, though pricey. I haven’t eaten anything here that I didn’t like.

The best Frittata I've ever had! Silky, savory, buttery rich, lifted by the bright and grassy chimichurry. The tart salad dressing and pickles were the perfect complement! I know, this is a lot about one dish, but it's representative of everything I've ever eaten at The Grove. Everything is made with care and excellence right down to the smallest detail. When you go here, you know you'll have a great meal, even if it's just coffee and a mochi donut (so good!). Everyone is always super friendly, too. A genuinely welcoming place. I'm beyond grateful for this spot in my hometown!

The Grove Cafe is such a cute cafe. I loved the atmosphere and all the menu items sounded so good! My boyfriend and I got the Honey Bear latte, Cardamom latte, Ham and Brie brioche (this would be awesome as a melt as well) and the Mango curry chicken salad sandwich (which wasn’t too far from just a chicken salad sandwich). Everything was amazing and I would highly recommend coming here. Bit on the pricier side but I would still come back for a once in a while coffee outing.

The breakfast sandwich has a homemade biscuit and your choice of bacon, sausage or avocado. I had mine with a bowl of soul (super tasty too). There's a patio in the back, seating inside and seating in front. I definitely plan to return for more .
