Go for the breakfast burritos. Nothing else matters. It's a breakfast burrito joint, kk? There is a convenience store there too, but I swear people just go there for the breakfast burritos.... or maybe an occasional coffee or sandwich. read more

I want to come back and try ALL burrito options no lie!!! This was worth the long wait and value for it. Only took a star off bc the meat was a tad bit salty. The hot sauce is a must with it. Cute brunch spot and will definitely return. Cash only!! read more

The Point Market - Cali Breakfast Burrito - Cafes Near Me - Santa Cruz, California

The place really doesn't disappoint. We come a few times a year and today it really hit! The mexi cali was good, but what was really fantastic was the carne asada in the Cali Breakfast Burrito. Incredible and chock-full of meat and goodness! The tortilla is fresh and toasted warm and the fries were nice and crispy which really makes a difference. Couldn't have been happier and you'll likely need to skip lunch! read more

If you get a breakfast burrito in the morning and cut it in thirds, you may have 3 square meals that day. It is huge! The yays: Breakfast burrito is the ultimate start to the day. Fresh and thick. Size matters when it comes to burritos and The Point Market does it right. You have two options, small and large. Can't go wrong either way. Flavorful options but I went with the It's. Ham, bacon, sausage, eggs and potatoes. And pick de gallo on the side. Droool. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Location is supreme for views. Don't rush. Enjoy your life and waddle over after your meal to the shore to take in the sights.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The nays: cash only so expect to pay an ATM fee if you don't carry cash. There is an ATM inside. And limited parking nearby. read more

Stopped at The Point for burritos before we headed out of Santa Cruz. Parking is limited, but it's right near the water and the walkway along the coast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone had their dogs, taking a walk.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Point is a small little shop on a corner. They have a small amount of convenience store items and a good amount of food options. Our burritos were huge. I got a small and it was still too much lol. It didn't seem much smaller than the large. The guys working were nice, chill. Food was ready fast, but it wasn't very busy when we dropped in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's some tables and chairs outside that you can sit at to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Solid breakfast burritos in a PRIME Santa Cruz location. It's hard to miss this spot if you're walking along Pleasure Point, even though it's towards the end of the main path, there's always a crowd outside and people across the street eating their burritos. Burritos come in two sizes, small and large. Don't let the word small fool you, because even the smalls are plenty. My boyfriend and i got two larges to share, and we didn't even come close to finishing them, and we're pretty big eaters. We got the Chorizo Burrito with avo and Barrel Burrito. We liked different things about each one, so there wasn't really a clear winner. would probably get either one again, but would get a small. This little market is cash only, though they do have an ATM if you need. Aside from the plethora of breakfast burritos, they also have market staples like chips, beers, NA beverages, and a nice sauce and salsa section. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a small seating area outside, but there's also a bunch of benches along east cliff for you to stop and enjoy if you want an ocean view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Where's The Beef? Went to The Point Market for some lunch. We had the basic burger. We were very disappointed. The menu claims it's a 1/3 lb patty. No way! More like 1/8 lb patty..maybe. The patty was very thin, dry and over cooked. The rest of the burger was mostly bun, lettuce pickles, a little mustard and mayo for $14.99! It comes with thick cut wedge fries which were quite good, but over all it was not worth the price. It's too bad because they could have created one of the most awsome burgers in town, blowing them out the door, but decided to go cheap on the meat and rip people off! Won't be spending anymore $ here...not worth it! read more

Such a huge menu for a very tiny corner store. This place is great...order and get your food to go or eat at the little tables out front. Surfing beach across the street if you want to sit and watch the surfers do their thing also. Split the huge Cali Burrito with my wife. Loaded with carne asada, potato wedges, cheese, sour cream, avocado, onions and cilantro...all wrapped it a perfect tortilla!! Guys running the place are friendly and treated us like family. Can't wait for our next trip to the area to try something new! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]One of our go to spots for breakfast! As much as we like the food, it's the view that makes this spot one of our favorites.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just a few steps from the market you get to overlook the beach and watch surfers. Can't get better than that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking here is challenging because it's in a residential area. You just need to find a spot in the neighborhood and walk a little. This place is cash only!!! They do have an atm but def bring cash. The barrel: 4/5, the large burrito is big enough to share! My boyfriend wish there was a little more seasoning so I would suggest adding some salt or get extra salsa on the side read more

Driving up to Santa Cruz to visit Uncle Chuck's house in Capitola, we decided to stop for breakfast burritos. We usually go to the one near The Boardwalk but because this one's close to the house we decided to try this spot out. About a quarter to 9 in the morning, the sky is clear, sun's out, the surf is perfect - an absolutely gorgeous Sunday morning over here. We enter the market, go straight to the ATM because they are Cash Only (please note: CASH ONLY) and order our food. I got the Mexi Burrito (I asked to not add potatoes because for now I can't smh) as a Bowl and added Carne Asada. After a few minutes we got our food and posted at a picnic table to watch the surf and surfers. A perfect day for sure and event more perfect when I sat down, looked at my food and devoured. A lot of flavor and the eggs I personally thought were made to perfection. The Carne Asada was tender and marinated and added the deliciousnesssss to the plate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food was great, the staff is awesome and the customers from the locals to the out of towners: positive vibes and the surfers walking by, Keep Surfing and keep Jeff Spicoli in your thoughts![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]! read more

I've been here several times now. Breakfast burritos are hearty and filling. The ones I've eaten on recent trips have been good, not great. Today it was the Cali Breakfast Burrito. Ingredient ratios weren't balanced: very potato heavy. No real flavor either, requiring a heavy dousing of salsa. Last time I had the barrel burrito and felt similarly. At over $20 each, I would hope quality would be up to par with price. That said, I would give them another try when the breakfast burrito craving strikes in Santa Cruz. read more

I ordered the "Barrel Burrito" and it was definitely one of the best burritos around! It was huge! It kept me fueled for a 35mi bike ride. The parking is limited so I usually ride my bike.

I'm not sure I understand the hype, if I'm being honest. I was looking forward to trying the breakfast burrito, as I'd heard great things. We arrived, and found that they only accept cash, and the ATM was broken. Not ideal. But for some reason it looks like the online ordering system does work, which was a way we could pay with card. We tried two different burritos, which were very large. The burritos themselves, however, were quite bland and soggy, and filled with mainly potato and refried beans. The tortillas also didn't taste particularly fresh, and just didn't hit for us. Additionally, there was a $2.50 extra charge due to increased price of eggs, but the burrito itself seemed to barely have any egg. I'm hoping we just came at an off day, based on the reputation! But it wasn't a great experience for us. read more

I'm writing this review for the new location in Scotts Valley. The owner Hassan was working the register, taking orders and talking to everyone with a big smile on his face. The Scotts Valley Facebook has blown up with such positive reviews and I can see why. I got the smash burger and it was cooked to order, juicy and had great toppings and a zesty sauce. The wedge fries were really good too. I have a feeling that this place is going to be booming. Wishing them all the best. I'll definitely be a loyal customer. read more

I ordered the Rockfish burrito (large) and it was huge!! Super filling and great value. Everything tasted fresh, it was wrapped well, and the flavors came together nicely. The worker was also incredibly kind and welcoming, which always makes the experience better. Just a heads up that the place is cash only. The only small thing I'd change is adding a bit more fish, but even with that, I'd absolutely come back to try another burrito. The ambiance is just your average market, a hole in the wall for sure! Definitely worth stopping by! read more

We stopped in here early in the morning for some breakfast and a sunrise on the beach and am so glad we did! The market is such an interesting place to stop in, with a wall of snacks and drinks, and they serve breakfast burritos, pastries, smoothies, Acia bowls, and coffees. We got a coffee, tea, and two breakfast burritos. Normally we are disappointed with the coffee quality at places like these but the coffee tasted really really good. I was also very impressed at their wide variety of tea selections. They had a bunch of interesting flavors that are hard to find anywhere else. As for the burritos, we ordered two small burritos and they were huge! You definitely get a good portion for the price you pay. Not to mention it was cooked to order, and tasted delicious. They had high quality tortillas, and a good ratio of eggs to the rest of the filling. Every thing tasted amazing and was well balanced, plus we got leftovers for breakfast the next morning. They weren't kidding when they said they had some of the best breakfast burritos in town. There also serve it with three different kinds of salsa which were all super fresh am yummy as well. I also love the locally owned feel here. Just in the twenty minutes we were here, we had a great conversation with some regulars and with the nice man working behind the counter. Everyone here is super friendly and easy to start a conversation with! If you are in the area (or simply don't feel like cooking breakfast or lunch) I recommend coming by here. The prices are affordable, you get good quality food and big portions for a reasonable price, and have plenty of snack and drink options to choose from. We will definitely be back herez read more

Overpriced, expect to pay at least $50-60 for 2 burritos and a drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very limited places to actually sit down and eat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the burritos were big and good price, but there weren't any hard textures it's all mushy.

Seriously the best burritos in Santa Cruz. Great location too bc it is beach side. Do yourself a favor and next surf session, grab yourself a breakfast burrito before you leave! My favorite is the Barrel burrito, but the Cali burrito is also fire! read more

The point market is in pleasure point in Santa Cruz. It's a small market but has food also. It is cash only. Parking is tough in the area because it is a popular local and tourist spot. The staff was nice. The market is in older market with an insane amount of ball cap for sale but it has pretty much whatever you need. The food was pretty good for a little market. There is outside seating so you can enjoy the sound of the crashing waves, the smell of the salty air, and the beautiful warm sun. They do not have restrooms and you end up having to use the park ones across the street, which are pretty gross. read more

Best breakfast burrito I've had since Tangled Hearts Bakery in Groveland and Lucky Boy in Pasadena. The large is enough for 2 people. Fast service as well. Tried the chilaquiles but would prob either get them next time with eggs. Medium salsa is plenty spicy. read more

I've been away from Santa Cruz for about 7 years. Went to the point today. New owners since my last visit. The breakfast burrito is not as good as it used to be. It was okay, not special, like it was before. My partner had the black bean burger and enjoyed it. Still an amazing location to sit and enjoy food, but bummed the burritos have changed. read more

Cash only! But they have an ATM. An amazing little corner store/deli/counter eats. this beachside gem has the most amazing chicken club with chipotle aioli! The sando was packed with juicy, perfectly grilled chicken, crispy bacon, and fresh veggies (including avocado!) all tied together by that smoky, creamy chipotle aioli. The mouth watering flavors are something I'm going to be dreaming of. The ocean view made it even better. Perfect spot for a tasty bite after some fun in the sun or before hitting the waves. Highly recommend! read more

Not good! Idk how this place has such positive reviews food wise. Spent over $50 for less than mediocre food. Scrambled egg plate had eggs that were overcooked and mostly brown scrapings! The sausage breakfast burrito had Italian dinner sausages, not what you usually expect from a breakfast burrito, was pretty big and filling because it was mostly potatoes. Barrel burrito had what looked like boiled bacon, and no flavor. DISAPPOINTING and a waste of money to say the least. And when buying from the market check the expiration dates!! read more

I will give these guys a 4 star because of different policies the employees take on providing a discount to Veterans. We went for breakfast and I got the Barrel Burrito small because I read that the burrito's were huge! I had a hard time eating the small, Wow! It was great! Plus, counter person provided me with a Veteran's discount even though they didn't have a Veteran discount policy! I thought that was Awesome and I left a nice tip! Went back the same day and had lunch ordered fish and chips, we got fish sticks and chips, not what we were thinking. We were hungry so we just ate it! I didnt't leave a tip, that time around! Over all it was good, it just would have been better if they got our order correct or at least let me know they didn't have fish fillets! Maybe they will do better next time around. It's a little bit off the beaten path but worth to drive! read more

I was surfing at the point last evening and it was pretty chilly. I came here to get a hot drink and didn't even have to request how I wanted it to look. The man behind the counter read my mind. He handed me a piping hot, hot chocolate, overflowing whipped cream and a little sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar on top. I took it with me and walked my dog along the point while watching the last shred of the sunset. It was a magical moment. Thank you. Also breakfast burritos are always bomb, get a small for yourself or a large if you're sharing/want a second meal later ;) read more

Being a lazy college student in Santa Cruz is so difficult as the food scene consistently keeps disappointing me. I ordered delivery to my apartment and was so excited to try yet again another new food spot. my delivery arrived early, and i thought my day couldn't get any worst, i ordered the boulder chips which were suppose to be the garlic Parmesan flavor that we all love. When i reached i to my bag i was confused and astounded that they gave me the classic flavor of sea salt kettle style chips in a large bag. They switched and modified my order without consulting me, and if i knew that the item was sold out i would have refunded the item. I ordered French toast on buttermilk bread and the banana pancakes with chocolate.. the French toast was the reason i decided to order food from this place, opening my plate i was clearly catfished with these measly pieces of bread covered in eggs and cinnamon. The French toast was dry, flavorless, came with no fruit, luckily i had ordered the banana pancakes and chocolate chips which gave me a glimpse of hope. My hope for both dishes was rudely interrupted by a super disgusting sour taste which made me think the food was spoiled or that there had to have been some cross contamination. The taste was unbearable and was way stronger in the pancakes. As excited as i was, my bubble was popped and gave me the reality check that i needed. It was silly of me to give an opportunity and benefit of doubt to restaurants out here. This all has me thinking maybe it's not the food, but it's me. I feel bad asking questions like, "what is wrong with me?", "why are my experiences so different?". I can't express how devastated i was.. Santa Cruz food and i will be taking a break, but maybe one day in the future I'll be able to eat here with confidence. read more

Food: 8/10 Service: 10/10 Value: 8/10 Portion size: medium Wait time: 10 minutes on a Sunday at 1pm First time coming here to meet up with a friend. It's a great spot near the water by the East cliff drive trail (one block away). There are about 4 tables for outdoor seating (seat yourself). It's like a mini neighborhood market that sells hot food! In the mini market they have drinks, snacks, popsicles and more! I thought it was only burritos but they have tons of options including: sandwiches, paninis, breakfast burritos, regular burritos and burgers! Hubby and ordered the Carne asada burrito, a single fish taco, BLT sandwich and a side of fries all for about $30 (cash only) and my friend got a grilled cheese sandwich that came with fries! My favorite was the Carne asada burrito! And now I know why most pictures on yelp are burritos! Because they are truly delicious! The meat was tender and juicy. The burrito had a good balance of meat, rice, beans and salsa! The flavor of the meat was perfect too, meaning the meat was fresh! The BLT was okay. The bacon could be crispier and the tomato wasn't that fresh. It did come with a side of fresh baked tortilla chips which were amazing! I just needed some fresh salsa to go with it! My fish taco I would definitely pass on. The fish was cut up into chunks and the texture was rubbery. They did give you a lot of fish though! The fries were wedge style but a little salty for me. Definitely coming back and getting 2 burritos next time! I would like to try the al pastor and a breakfast burrito. read more
