Abraham K. • March 13, 2016Look no further, this is the best dog walking and overnight pet sitting service in Santa Cruz. My pup comes home happy and tired everyday. I would recommend Walkies crew for any of your pets needs!

Maya W. • July 11, 2012The cafe(teria) in the basement is SUPER cheap

Day Lynn B. • March 1, 2012Gotta try their chai (can get a cup of it at the juice bar) at least once. Super spicy-dont forget to add milk-and not for the faint at heart, but extremely good. How chai SHOULD be!

Richard S. • March 15, 2015I went with the fish and chips this time. Nice and crispy! My wife had the lamb stew and the lamb was tender and the broth was delicious. Burgers and big, tasty and they have some great beers in tap

Allison K. • August 12, 2017Cocktails are delicious. Although it's not tiki, the passion fruit margarita was delicious. Spicy edamame and the ahi tuna are a must!
