Great food! The burgers are always fantastic, especially the one with avocado. And for meatless, it's out of this world! Def get the fries with the rosemary sauce too! The drinks are solid too, and the desserts are pretty tasty. Not insanely expensive either, which is surprising I t just area for fresh food like this. Don't hesitate - give them a try! read more

Friendly staff and unique and delicious breakfast sandwiches. Inclusive to a variety of dietary needs. My only complaint is they need more parking. :) read more

The vegan burger was out of the world. The fries and the aioli was a cherry on top of the cake. If you're in Santa Cruz area, this is a must must must. read more

Wow! So glad I came. Delicious vegan options. Banana ketchup was amazing never knew I needed it in my life. Cute place , bright an open. Definitely will be coming back. read more

See all

Soooo gooood! I've only had the vegan burger with the vegan cold soups (cucumber gazpacho or avocado gazpacho). I can say those are all amazing. The soups are also extremely fresh. It's really a gem of a place for a vegan. If you are vegetarian, they have a bunch of amazing looking breakfast sandwiches/burgers with eggs and crazy toppings too. Highly recommend everyone tries this place. read more

Fresh and DELICOUS food at totally reasonable prices. I love that the menu is small and thoughtfully crafted. Even so, it's still hard to choose since everything sounds so good! Whether you're a vegetarian or not, this spot can't be missed. Nice with the outdoor area and super friendly staff. Clair was at the register - what a sweet and awesome young lady! Great job PGA! So happy to live just down the street. read more

This place is so freaking delicious I can't begin to describe the level of awesome these guys create. I am a die hard meat eater and they probably have one of the BEST burgers I've ever eaten- regardless of its meatless-ness. Always super kind to their customers and super conscious about where their ingredients come from. A++ read more

This place is truly a gem!! Amazing food and wonderful people! I was blown away by the quality of the food and the care and dedication of the staff and chefs. They grow all the restaurants fruits and veggies at their farm in the Santa Cruz Mountains and it's all picked fresh daily. Super welcoming vibe and amazing people running the show. And the Mac Muffin...wow! I wish I could eat one every day...so goooood! read more

Incredible food for an unbeatable price. Even if you're not vegetarian it's fantastic. I rave to everyone about this place!

Fresh and tasty. Everything we ordered was quickly devoured. Avocado toast was excellent. read more

WOW can I give 10 STARS!!! Best service and food EVER!!!! I can tell that everyone working there is incredibly passionate about what they do. *ORDER THE GRIDDLED LEMON LOAF* True farm to table experience:) read more

The service is friendly and the food is tasty. I was mildly disappointed by the limited menu and the prices, given the relatively small portions. We ordered four small items and rang up a $40 tab. The cup of cauliflower soup was better than expected, while the small green goddess salad was crisp with slightly mushy croutons. The pork pâté was a surprise favorite, and the "mustardy onions" were a great compliment to the dish. Finally, the mushroom bruschetta was "pretty good" according to my wife. I do not think she intended to be punny. We did not get to try their beautiful desserts, so we will be back for another try soon. read more

Best vegetarian/vegan "burgers"! Great breakfast sandwiches, delicious seasonal drinks. Routine lunch spot

Everything is excellent. Recent pop up by Syllable was fun. The French toast is not on the menu very often but fantastic.

Amazing and super convenient veggie + vegan food. We started coming here recently, and their walk-up ordering window is ideal for current times, since we're doing our best to limit going inside buildings at the moment. I love their breakfast sandwiches pretty much any time of day, my wife loves their burgers, and we both love the fries here. read more

Pretty good 'twas! I had the green goddess salad with chicken and it was super flavorful and light. I got the half salad which definitely lives up to the 'half' size title, so if you eat a lot I recommend a full salad, even though the half filled me up. The chicken was also very unique and yummy. I also had some of the cat and cloud coffee which is always great. I went later in the day so most of the pastries were gone but the ones left looked good. Also cool floors :3 read more

A frequent stop, especially when veggie friends and family are in town. Delicious sammies, amazing soft serve, BEST fries, casual vibe.

Whoever created these plant-based recipes knows what good food is supposed to be. Better and fresher than 90% of local restaurants. Added bonus: veg, gf, and vegan options. Bravo PGA! read more

My mom and I came in on day 2 of being open for lunch. I'm super glad Soquel finally has a restaurant that has healthy/artisanal food options that aren't exorbitently priced, definitely the kind of restaurant this area needed. The toast with tangerine jam and ricotta was amazing, as was the smoked sturgeon pita dish and the sweet and sour brussels sprouts. We weren't the biggest fans of the fennel soup or the baby lettuces salad. The soup was too heavy on the cream and too light on the veggies, some chopped pieces in there would've added to the texture. The baby lettuces salad had good ingredients but kind of a bland dressing. Basalmic reduction or another bold flavor would be nice for that. Overall I'm a fan and will be excited to see new menu items as they come up. read more

Healthy. I love food that makes me feel good about myself and my body after I've eaten it, without skimping on the taste during the meal. I particularly liked how cleanly the staff person Savanah was --and when I ordered dessert she gave me the biggest piece. Awe. I loved the brussel sprouts (surprise wedges of citrus in there), the whole bowl had tasty greens too. I liked the taste of mushroom bun, the cinnamon babka, the bay shrimp medley, and the lemonade (there is a kick to it, even without alcohol). :-) Just 4 out of 5 stars b.c. I don't think I could frequent it on the price/portion ratio, as a student, not b.c. of product or service. People were way efficient and lovely. read more

I have some pretty good advice for you-EAT HERE. These people know what's up and that's all I've gotta say about that. ‍

That mack muffin tho! Love this spot! Everything I have tried has been exceptionally well thought out and crafted. Some of the other reviewers talked about portion sizes, which are on the small side but I am ok with smaller sizes of perfectly prepared food with obviously super high-quality ingredients. Let's just say this is not denny's. read more

Pretty Good Advice is what has been missing from my life. I always take family here when they visit. Their changing menu is always awesome and I love trying all their dishes. I miss being able to go in and see all the produce sitting on the counter but I'm glad they're handling COVID well. What I get: Mike's Good Morning Deluxe, Country Fries (if I'm eating there, they don't travel well), and any of their salads. Soft serve when it's got basil or chocolate and it's hot. Service: Always fantastic. I've ordered 100's of things from PGA and I think they only messed up one and caught it themselves and corrected it without me doing anything. They're always accommodating to my weird requests. Atmosphere: Love the patio when it's open. Inside is nice and clean. Price: Unbelievable good. Like, I'm ok if you want to charge more if it helps you guys stay in business. read more

This was a delicious breakfast sandwich! Loved the combo of toppings and sauces. My sister and I both really enjoyed the meal and she loved her coffee drink. I had a normal coffee. I wish they had latte's and other coffee shop classics, but the coffee isn't the reason to come here. Will def be back. read more

Mushroom sandwich was to die for. That's my pretty good advice. Outside dinning available so the hot food could be enjoyed right away.

My wife and I moved to the area about a year ago and I kept having Pretty Good Advice on my radar as a place to try out. Today, that day came and goodness are we glad it did. Hands down a new favorite place for us to get AMAZING vegetarian/vegan and gluten free food! I'm bummed it took us this long to make it a point to go and I missed out on a year of this. The service was friendly and fast and it all tasted so so good. Best gluten free vegan burger I've ever had. Thanks to the owner and employees for having such a wonderful establishment. We can't wait to go back. read more

Pretty Good Advice - The Vegan burger with a gluten free bun. - Sandwiches Near Me - Soquel, California

This has been one of the most important COVID businesses for our family. The food is SO good and CONSISTENT! Fresh and delicious every single time. Love this place before during and after the pandemic. I want to keep it to myself, but I also want to make sure they are recognized for what they're doing so well. The biggest compliment I can give this place is that non-vegetarians will love it just as much as a vegetarian. This has been true for all of my friends and family that I've brought here. Thanks for the great food and vibes; keep it going! read more

Run, don't walk, to this exceptional restaurant, which has some of the most consistently delicious food in Santa Cruz. The restaurant's concept is new, and MAN does it work, on every level. Fantastically fresh local food (from an area blessed with some of the best produce on the planet), welcoming folks behind the counter, fast, CHEAP, relaxed and stress-free dining. You order from a blessedly small but fascinating menu, pay (not much), then wait (not long) for your heavenly plate to be brought to your table by one of the aforementioned friendly staff. Each time we've gone, they've snuck in an extra item; this morning's was warm banana bread, the likes of which I did not know was possible, and I am pretty good baker. The food is mostly vegetarian, but you won't miss the meat with all these flavors (and eggs are part of many dishes.) Wow, just WOW! Want some REALLY good advice? Go to Pretty Good Advice. read more

Well I was born in a small town And I live in a small town Probably die in a small town Oh, those small communities ...however I once had this entirely different life in the big ol' cities and Pretty Good Advice reminds me of those times. Fantastic quality food and thoughtful dishes. I think Soquel could use some pretty good advice. I also think Cat & Cloud coffee is pretty good advice and I'm stocked to be able to get it now. read more

The burgers were more or less ok, but they came with dressing already which I didn't like. I was expecting a healthier type bread for a Veggie restaurant. They don't allow you to use the bathroom like every other takeout place I went. I was giving 2 stars but since you're so funny with your reply Matt, I guess I'd give 1, and next time I'll schedule the pee pee in your bushes how about that. You sell drinking stuff (nothing healthy and appealing though) and people need to use the restroom, that's normal. read more

My husband(omnivore) and I(vegan) took a day trip to Santa Cruz and had to stop here, because I have been wanting it since the last trip I took. We both ordered the spicy chkn sandwich and fries. He loves hot sauce and was very happy with the house made hot sauce that was offered at the pick up window. The vegan ranch was also super yummy and had a great consistency. Food came out quick, hot, and delicious. The service was great as well. I would drive from sac again just to eat here and so would my husband. read more

I had the jalapeño bbq burger. Very solid! The burger was tasty with some very fresh produce. The staff was very friendly. I really like the walk up window and patio area. Don't sleep on the house made hot sauce. Nice! I'll be back. read more

We tried pretty good advice yesterday and were SO impressed! Right off the bat, the person taking our order was so kind and friendly. The menu is really interesting and the food tasted yummy. They gave us a free carrot soup (which tasted super good) and we ordered the breakfast sandwich, the whole bowl and the romaine salad, which was my fav. I loved the tahini ranch dressing and the crispy chickpeas. We also loved the strawberry lemonade. I appreciated the friendly and welcoming vibe. Will absolutely be coming back really soon. read more

This place covers so many bases--yummy, affordable, fresh food. Great location, patio seating. Everything tasted amazing. Good place for kids. They even threw in free soups for us. It's off the main area of Soquel, so it's tucked away perfectly. Totally going back! read more

Everything tasted great and I was able to pickup shortly after ordering online. I love the variety of unique food combinations - it sets PGD apart from other restaurants. The arugula watermelon salad was my favorite read more

Extraordinary French fries and delicious vegetarian burger. Friendly staff and super quick service. Can't wait to be back and try their breakfast sandwiches and soft serve. What a gem! read more

This is the spot in Soquel! Good quality food grown locally by good people. I love how the menu is always changing and it has nice hang out spots and outdoor eating areas. read more

Decided to stop by after taking my nephew to the park! boy was i glad i decided to stop! i thought this was a coffee joint cus i saw pastries online lol but its more than that! Its a whole vibe lol Atmosphere: open space, inviting & insta worthy.I went on a Sunday around 3 and the parking lot was pretty much empty. They also have a lovely patio! & lets not forget the flooring! Those tiles are everything! Employees: friendly and helpful. price: fair. from $3- $12. They are a tad small of a portion but i do think the flavor makes up for it. Food: i got their signature salad:Pretty Green Goddess. The salad was GOOD & FRESH! Its a creamy dressing and at first i thought it was like a cilantro lime , but there is something else in it that makes is so yummy!! I also got an iced coffee & they have almond milk & half/half as creamers. I do plan on coming back to try the other dishes. feedback: Def plan on coming back! However: I do wish they added a few more coffee drinks options. Like maybe a white mocha or caramel drinks. Also wished they included a dish for kids. possible sandwich or mac & cheese? just something for them to eat. i think it would be great since theres schools & the park near by that it would be a great spot for families to stop. & hopefully later on they consider using biodegradable paper plates/boxes.
