Tasty food, always a line but it moves quickly. Outdoor tables are clean and we've always been able to find an available one. And it's West Cliff!!! read more

Countless trips over more years than I care to admit... The go-to item for locals/surfers is the breakfast burrito. Healthy-ish and reasonable price ($11 in 2026). Eggs, potatoes, chorizo and cheese. For something smaller, go with the breakfast sandwich. Add the house made sausage patty, if that's your thing. The other iconic breakfast is the quesadilla, amusingly named break-a-dilla. They don't like substitutions but, if it's not too busy, I drop the sour cream and add the queso from the burrito. The turkey sandwich is simple and fresh. I'm not a mayo fan but the no-substitute policy. Personally I think the pork sando is a better choice. Fries and kettle chips are decent but not crave worthy. There are gluten free and vegetarian options but unsure on vegan. Long lines on weekends. Eat on the few benches nearby but better to walk across the street and stare and the ocean. read more

A great breakfast burrito for only 11 bucks! The portion js great! The chorizo definitely had a little zing to it! The potatoes were great and its just a terrific deal. As its so popular, expect some sort of line. But the service is quick and it moves fast. There is no water station except for a water fountain next to the public bathroom but there is a lot of outdoor seating if thats your vibe! read more

Great lunch spot while out in Santa Cruz! Came here on a Sunday around 11:30 am waited 30 min to order. I've had this spot bookmarked for awhile but I haven't been to Santa Cruz in a few years so never got around to trying it. Their fish tacos are yummy and fresh and the poke bowl is a nice snack! One thing to note, the poke bowl is very small, maybe the size of a shave ice bowl but the fish is super fresh and the marinade they use is nice. Got the daily muffins - mixed berry and also tried their raised glaze donut. Outdoor seating, dog friendly, and service is quick once you order. read more

Enjoyed the breakfast burrito while watching some surfers in the morning and order the apple cinnamon loaf slice and the blueberry lemon muffin to go. The breakfast burrito is great if you like chorizo, which I do. I did need some sauce (I did chipotle, my partner did hot sauce) to carry the burrito. Maybe because the cheese was very sharp and kind of took away the flavor of the rest of the ingredients. The apple cinnamon loaf slice was not warm and honestly needed to be. We could not taste sweetness of the apple and cinnamon either so it was underwhelming. The blueberry lemon muffin was amazing fresh! The muffin top was the best part. I did save the bottom half for the next day and the typical blueberry sourness didn't carry through, which was surprising. There are benches to eat at there, but in the morning it was very sweet so that's why we ate the burritos elsewhere. read more

Great deal, only $14 if you are looking for the smallest poke bowl in the world and workers to be rude to you

On a bright Thursday afternoon, my partner and I had just arrived to Santa Cruz and were looking for some food as we checked out the beach. I found Steamer Lane Supply on google and with such good reviews, I had to try it out. However, I am a bit disappointed. We ordered the Breakadilla and the Rock Fish Tacos. Firstly, the vibe of this place is fun. With picnic tables(they have cleaning spray and towels for each table) and some natural shade in front, there is plenty of eating space. The ordering system of one party inside at a time was neat, but a little slow as well. However, the food itself is what was really disappointing. The breakadilla had a ton of cabbage inside, which when cooked releases so much water. The potatoes inside were also just soft, so the entire inside was just complete mush with only a little flavor. It definitely could've used some more salsa and I would not use the cabbage, but at least the tortilla was crispy. Next the fish tacos were decent but don't really stand out. Fish was a bit overcooked and the flavor was solid. Overall, it's a neat place, but I wouldn't go back for the food. read more

Great lunch stop after a walk along West Cliff. I stopped by Steamer Lane Supply in Santa Cruz and had a really satisfying meal. The carnitas taco was the standout--tender, flavorful pork with a nice balance of richness and seasoning, wrapped in a fresh tortilla. I also tried the pozole verde, which was comforting and full of flavor, with a bright tomatillo-based broth that felt hearty without being heavy. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. read more

Steamer Lane Supply - Where to order - Cafes Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

This is a very nice food stand! Very convenient spot to go to for people who are hungry and thirsty after a long stay in the state beach. They also have an outdoor area where people can dine. This place has all sorts of foods. They have these things calls Dillas, which is like smashed burrito or a quesadilla and burrito mash-up. So I decided to try one of them and have to say...it's very good! Kinda hoping that they will slice mines into pieces haha. But it's a burrito at the same. So it wouldn't really make sense if they do lol I also like how the staff is only letting certain people come in to order depending on the party size. It could be because it's very small inside and things can be crowded if people try to come in and especially come out. Again, very good spot if people want a craving after a long stay here! read more

I've had this spot bookmarked since forever and finally went the other day after taking our dog to It's Beach. This is the perfect spot to head after the beach since there are both bathrooms and wash off stations right behind it, and plenty of picnic tables to sit outside and enjoy the view. (no indoor seating, bring layers!) Plenty of food options for a small shop/shack with sandwiches, quesadillas, and bowls. Lots of quesadilla options, I'll need to try the breakfast quesadilla next time, but my husband just raaaavvved about the chicken quesadilla which looked super juicy with shredded chicken, and a well-crisped tortilla. Oh what did I think about it? No one saved me a bite it was so popular! I had the salmon poke bowl- which was fine... except the rice it came with was a bit dry, and the poke portion was pretty small, so if you get this, I'd get something else as well and I normally have a smaller than average appetite I liked the fish tacos and felt like they had a good amount of textures/toppings, but my husband felt like it needed more flavor. Anyway, happy we finally stopped by and will come back again after our next beach outing! read more

Quick trip to Santa Cruz and had to stop at one of our faves. The breakfast sandwich is our fave and we add bacon. While you wait you have a perfect spot to get some much needed Vitamin Sea and just take in the beautiful view. recommend as we've had quite a few of the menu items and they've all tasted delicious. Once you place your order they will either provide a little buzzer or simply call out your name. Pick-up is super simple and ample seating. read more

After a beautiful trail hike along the Santa Cruz coast, we needed a much-needed lunch stop, and a friend recommended Steamers Supply. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved quickly. The space is small with only outdoor seating, but the weather was perfect, so it worked out great. I really appreciated how many gluten-free options they offered. I decided to try a variety of tacos -- the Carnitas, the Fish, and the Breakfast taco -- along with a Fresca beverage and two gluten-free cookies. You can definitely tell they make their own corn tortillas, which made the tacos taste fresh. The Breakfast taco was my favorite by far -- so flavorful. The fish taco was good but could've used a little more seasoning, and the Carnitas taco was just okay. The gluten-free cookies were surprisingly good and tasted pretty fresh. Overall, it's a great little spot to grab something quick, especially if you're already out walking along the coast. I'd definitely stop by again for a casual, fresh lunch. read more

Very good location, which makes it an ideal spot to grab something to eat while in the area. Since I was hungry, I was excited to grab something to eat. They have a lot of outdoor seating available and it was pretty busy with a line out the door. I ordered the Break-A-Dilla but I think the cashier misheard me and put in the Breakfast Burrito instead. I didn't realize this until after I paid, so I didn't want to cause any hassle. I took a few bites of the Breakfast Burrito and didn't enjoy it as much as I expected. Each consecutive bite tasted more and more bland. This was disappointing since I usually love breakfast burritos, so unfortunately, this place was a miss for me. read more

Steamer lane Supply Cafe is a nice cafe located across from the Santa Cruz seashore. There are picnic tables right next to it, making it very convenient. Smash burgers, Sandwiches, 'dillas, a long menu. Be sure to come in November, the monarch butterflies should be in the trees behind this spot. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: Pork Bowl ($13.25 GF) was decent but not exceptional. Meat wasn't the freshest. Having been biking for hours, I slurped it down anyway. 7.5/10 Iced Matcha ($5.25) was pretty watered down. 7/10 Overall - Good Food - Good Decor - Good Service - Good Value - Very Good Would we come back - Maybe read more

The.best.views. and one of our hidden gem spots to tuck away and take it all in..Steamer Lane Supply in Santa Cruz has delicious Dillas' as they call them, "toasty pressed burritos"...dare I say like a more gourmet Crunchwrap pocket of yummy goodness? I grabbed the Break-a-dilla which was loaded with everything you could ever want in a crunch - eggs, cheese, hash browns, salsa, queso fresco, and a bacon add-on. The hubby grabbed their hearty breakfast burrito and sneaking a bite, it was what you imagine eating pre/post surf..or just watchin' the surf in Santa Cruz. Solid. Packed with flavor and substance. Pure joy all around. I know breakfast burritos in SC are a dime a dozen, but when you find one that's just right, you have to share. Steamer Lane has only outdoor seating and a destination point no doubt. Friendly staff, great additional menu items like poke bowls, sandwiches, hot dogs, and delicious coffee. A perfect hub for grab-and-go, or sit and stay a while. We met a few other new parents on our breakfast trip, which was fun to have the opportunity to chat about all the things in such a stunning setting. For us this is a definite must when in the area ~ also fun fact, when sitting with your snack, you're right across the street from the world famous surf break "Steamer Lane", on West Cliff Drive. read more

We stopped by on a drizzly day not knowing exactly what to expect and were blown away by the food! We had a slaw dog (a delicious dog split lengthwise with a mustardy creamy slaw and potato chips on the side), the seafood chowder, and the cod-dilla, all of which were excellent. The people working there were all so friendly and helpful as well. read more

We come here to the beach all the time but have never tried this place. I saw all the great reviews for fish tacos so decided to try. The tortilla was nice and toasted, the cabbage slaw was good with nice salsa. Everything was delicious except for the star of the show ... the fish. The fish was dry and the texture and appearance resembled smoked fish. Definitely not fresh and was made days ago or recooked several times. I also got a puppy frittata which my pup seemed to enjoy. read more

It's a great grab and go place. They have fairly priced food and what we got tasted really good. Nothing mind blowing but super yummy and fresh nonetheless. I appreciate the care and quality that went into preparing the food, and definitely want to try more options in the future. A good place to eat if you are walking by or just finished a surf. Super family friendly and dog friendly. They even have dog treats at the counter. Plenty of outdoor seating so you can enjoy the absolutely stunning ocean view while you eat. Parking is a bit of an issue, but other than that things went smoothly as our food came out fairly quickly considering the long line at the time of our visit. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The inside ordering area is a little cramped, but if you can look around you'll find a good variety of ice cream, treats and drinks. read more

We stumbled upon this place on our recent trip to Santa Cruz. After exploring a little bit we were ready for some food and judging by the lines and Yelp rating we decided to give this place a try. There is a large outdoor picnic area with benches and tree trunks that makes it for a fun play area for the kids. Here is what we got: Fish tacos : 3/5 - the tacos were a bit disappointing as they lacked flavor Chicken leg plate: 5/5 - the chicken was perfectly confit. Nice and tender and perfectly seasoned. The slaw was quite good as well. Tuna sandwich: 5/5 - this sandwich was delicious. My 5 year old finished the whole sandwich. It has the right crunch from coleslaw & pickles and the tuna salad was very flavorful. Fries were delish and so were the chips :) Overall I would recommend this place esp if you have kids and prefer outdoor dining ;) read more

Beautiful outdoor seating with ocean views under cypress trees, tasty food, good prices, and food served fast. This is a great brunch/lunch spot. We had veggie tacos, fish tacos, and quesadillas. Everything was delicious and just right. The quesadillas were fat with ingredients and grilled just right. The corn tortillas for the tacos were also good. You will need a fork for the tacos because they are filled to the brim and a little messy. They also have little baked egg cups, muffins, café drinks, and aqua frescas. It's a great casual California Coast cuisine spot. Free parking available in a couple of large public lots nearby. read more

Second time walking by this spot. Don't let the line intimidate you. It moves quickly. Ordered Rock Codilla, ice turkish coffee, and cookie. Loved the Rock Codilla. Wish it had a little less sauce, but overall was great. Came out hot. Great dill flavor. The Turkish coffee had the perfect amount of cardamom. The drink was served in a paper cup, which quickly got soggy. I did not enjoy the cookie. It was very crumbly. The texture was gritty. Ended up throwing away 95% of the cookie. Dog friendly outdoor seating. Limited seating. Cashier offered dog treats at ordering. Nice spot to grab a bite after a coastal walk. read more
