    Burrito
    Alison J.

    Tasty burrito! Fresh and ready to carry to the beach. A good amount of avocado as well.

    Cali Breakfast Burrito

    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!!

    It's breakfast burrito

    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. 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. 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.

    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. Everyone had their dogs, taking a walk. 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. There's some tables and chairs outside that you can sit at to eat.

    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. 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.

    Half the Cali Lunch Burrito

    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!

    Large Barrel Burrito
    Kim T.

    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. Just a few steps from the market you get to overlook the beach and watch surfers. Can't get better than that. 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

    The Mexi and Water hehehee. Perfect day..

    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. 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!!

    This adorable market is the perfect spot to drop in and grab a bite and then walk along east cliff looking at the ocean. They have a really cute outdoor seating area. I got the barrel breakfast burrito and it was delicious. Super big portion size and great flavors. The service is phenomenal and everyone was super great. They have lots of drink options including canned Diet Coke

    Cali Breakfast Burrito -- massive
    Nina C.

    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.

    Food: 5 stars. Service: 3 stars…read more The food was excellent and made the visit worthwhile. The staff, however, came across as a bit cold and unfriendly. I get that it's beach time and things move at a different pace, but being a little nicer to customers and visitors would make a big difference. Hopefully next time the service will be as good as the food. EDITED - Saturday, June 20, 2026 I'm updating my review after reading the owner's response. First, I want to clarify that the response appears to be a copy-and-paste message aimed at people leaving negative reviews. If you had actually read my original review, you would have noticed that I never complained about the food, the wait time, prices, staffing, or anything related to the quality of the business itself. In fact, I enjoyed the food and had no issue waiting. I visited on a Thursday, and the café wasn't packed. The owner was clearly working hard, and I respect that. However, when I walked in and said hello, I was completely ignored. There was no greeting, no acknowledgment, and no sense that my business was appreciated. That was the only reason I left a 3-star review in the first place. The response talks about staffing shortages, minimum wage, food costs, and the challenges of running a small business. I understand all of that. Running a business is difficult. But those challenges don't really address the point I was making. A simple "Hi," "Welcome," or even a quick smile costs nothing and goes a long way. I also don't think customers should be made to feel responsible for business challenges such as labor costs or rent. Those are realities of ownership that every business owner has to navigate. That said, after thinking about it, I'm changing my review from 3 stars to 5 stars because the food was genuinely good, and I do support small businesses. My hope is simply that future customers are greeted with a little more warmth and appreciation when they walk through the door. One final thought: when someone leaves a critical review, it may be worth responding directly to their experience rather than posting a generic response. Sometimes there's valuable feedback hidden inside reviews that aren't really about the food at all. I wish you and your business success, and I genuinely hope you continue serving great food for years to come.

    We found this hidden gem by accident while walking. As we walked in, we were greeted by a very…read morefriendly gentleman. I ordered a latte with almond milk, and it was made to perfection--smooth, rich, and nicely strong. My husband had a mocha with almond milk, which he also really enjoyed.

We decided to take our coffee to go and sit by the beach, which is just one block away. We will definitely be back."
