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!

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.

Still stunned you can get such good food this close to the boardwalk. One of the best places we went to for lunch during our stay. Breakfast burrito was good as was the BLA (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado) sandwich. Note that they sell out of pastries really early, even on a weekday, at least in the summer. Friendly service. If you are Covid conscious, you can eat outside but they also keep all the windows and door open, so eating inside is almost as good as eating outside. Great place!

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.

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!

I was going to leave a a good review on the veggie breakfast burrito I ordered (which was delicious – expensive but delicious), but as I continued to eat it throughout the day I noticed that there were bits of wadded up napkin or paper towel in the burrito. At first I thought it was my imagination or my own napkin, but nope. It was inside the burrito. The first photo shows the brown bits of napkin or paper towel.

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.

Tourist spots don’t usually try this hard. Meatloaf sandwich had slices of juicy meatloaf, some greens, and great sauce (chipotle mayo?), was bursting with flavor. Ruben was pretty standard but good. Pretty quick counter order. Local canned beer. Tables and bathrooms kept clean.
