Pretty Good Advice - Soquel, California

Pretty good doesn't even begin to describe it - their vegan chicken sandwich was BOMB and the surprise breakfast sandwich hit the spot. Smashed cucumbers + delicata squash were chefs kiss 💋

But more importantly, their service was top notch. Everyone was super kind, happy to be there and helpful with suggestions. Olivia was so sweet taking our order & gifted us a vegan peanut butter soft serve to celebrate our 8th anniversary! What a wonderful, positive space they've created - we will definitely be back!! 💙

My go to place for the past few years living in Santa Cruz. The staff is always friendly and the food is always good. Parking is a little tricky on the weekends, but it’s worth it. This location also has a nice outdoor patio with seating.

Pretty Good Advice is a fast casual place with a funny name and great food. Order at one window, pick up at another. There's patio seating around the side. No inside seating or table service. Highly recommend.

This food falls into the munchie category for me. Plenty of greasy goodness between two buns and the service is fast. It’s unfortunate at this location that there is a lack of indoor seating. It gets hot outside and there’s lots of sun exposure.

Pretty nice spot with an interesting take on handheld food items! You order at the counter and they have some nice outdoor seating. Menu seems promising with lots of Santa Cruz locals partaking in the eatery as well. All day breakfast sandwiches is a huge plus!

Spicy boy 3.5/5 (would prefer egg cooked medium, needs something more, not spicy in the slightest)

Tom’s bright eyes surprise 5/5

House cut French fries with garlic rosemary aioli 3/5 (great seasoning on the fries - maybe too much salt, some of the French fries were kinda mushy, rosemary aioli was great)

Good menu for vegan and vegetarian. The parking is limited. All outdoor seating. The patio area has umbrellas, but the other are by parking lot does not. Overall good experience.

Would be 5 stars, but as a long time client with celiac, I am so so disappointed that they have stopped taking gluten free seriously. I have been eating here many times for years with no issues. The food is absolutely delicious! Sadly, I went on Wednesday for lunch. I got a California burger on a gluten free bun. When I opened it I was concerned because it looked like a normal bun, so I went back to the window to check. The girl in the window told me it looked like their gluten free buns, but would go check with the chef. She came back and said that it was gluten free. Because I have eaten here safely so many times before, I ate it thinking they had new buns… and I’ve been sick since. I still figured it had to be something else since I trust them- but I went back today to get food for my family and the gf bun was the old usual gf bun and the regular bun is definitely the one I ate. And they look nothing alike! Looked up recent GF reviews and apparently there has been a huge downturn with safety efforts, so it’s not just me. I’m so sad to lose my favorite restaurant, but I hope to save some other regulars from getting sick.

Foods good but the must have a teenager working on a small hot plate in the back for how fast they get food out. Got here at noon and it’s been almost 30 minutes and they’ve made it through 3 Togo orders total. There’s still 4 people in front of us. Absolutely pathetic service. Wouldn’t come again unless they learn how to operate a kitchen or fix whatever their problems are there it’s just not ok.
