Had no idea this place existed in our little town until a Groupon offering showed up. Very good healthy and fresh breakfast offerings at reasonable prices. Very well worth trying out yourself.

The building has been here for a long time, but struggled to find support within the rural community. The new owners have made a big effort and investment to turn this place around, and I am very impressed. The quality of the food is better than many of the big name area restaurants, and the owner and staff are very eager to please. Do give them a try and you will be impressed. Portions are very big, by the way.

I am real fussy about eggs, the scrambled eggs are perfect not over cooked not under cooked. The pancakes are light fluffy and good the next day.. The bacon was crisp, not burnt. The special are very interesting combinations. Potatoes are lovely. A great little gem hidden away in the Soquel village. Parking in the rear of the building. Friendly staff.

We stopped here for some coffee and a scone. I had a double-shot Americano. This is a drink you will not find at Starbucks. Perfect crema, wonderful flavor, nice coffee buzz. The handsome young owner Daniel was personable. Will come here every time I'm in the area.

Parking is limited, but that probably helps manage the flow of patrons. The place is festive with seating inside and out. I ordered the breakfast burrito and a bloody Mary. Both were excellent.The burrito was scrambled eggs, hash browns, salsa fresca, avocado, cheese, & sour cream served in a tomato basil flour tortilla. It was fresh and tasty. There is an option to add meat if you are so inclined. I also ordered a Bloody Mary, as it was a vacation and it called to me. In part I was using the excuse that I was increasing my fruit and vegi intake. The drink was nicely garnished with a selection of celery, olives, gherkin, and a pickled pepper. It was a bit on the spicy side.Our waitress was full of positive energy. The hostess less so....

It's a little understated on the outside, but walk inside and you'll find a woodsy country dining room. The staff is friendly and service is good. My breakfast (called the "Pony" on the menu) included one egg, sizable sausage patty, home fries, and a biscuit with gravy. The food was fine, portions were generous; good basic breakfast. Parking is pretty easy.

Linda's lived up to other reviewers' positive recommendations. Friendly staff, funky atmosphere, clean, and fun. We ordered the stuffed (with avocado and tomato) grilled cheese sandwich (on crunchy sourdough bread) and the veggie patty gardenburger. Each was accompanied by a generous pile of hot and crispy country fries. The burger had lots of side extras - tomatoes, pickles, red onions and lettuce leaves - both yellow and dijon mustard available. We split and shared our sandwiches and both agreed on their winning flavor. Cash only, but there's an ATM machine if you need some - very convenient. Linda's is a little off the beaten path, but well worth seeking out. We definitely will on our next visit to the area.

Loved this breakfast spot. Quaint and homey atmosphere. Menu has something for everyone. Very attentive service with great coffee. I had the eggs Benedict with spinach and avocados. Nummy hash browns. My husband had pigs in the blanket. The pancakes were delicious. Wish we lived closer as this place is a winner.

This shop supported our annual quilt show so decided to return the favor. My friend had the special of the day which was green chicken enchilada for, I believe, about 5.95. Hen her plate arrived it held 2 enchiladas and rice. I had my old standby of a blat, which contained fresh avocado ( i saw her cutting it up) and a lot of thick bacon. Delicious and the price was about the same. Cute place to eat, outdoor seating, great atmosphere.

Sundays can be busy ... but having an inattentive waitress doesn't help. This facility is small for the table it tries to turn. Tables seated after us had their orders taken; I had to flag down another waitress to get ours to order. The "One-Holer" bathroom is a wait as well (standing over the tables of unfortunate guests). The food is OK, but nothing extraordinary. My BLT was ... OK. My wife's fish sandwich was good and plentiful; so the food gets a mixed review. There are lots of other places.
