About this business

Summer means fresh basil is abundant in Santa Cruz and that means homemade pesto is available at Zachary's. We serve it scrambled with eggs and mushrooms. Also available only during the summer months: fresh blueberry pancakes and, if you're lucky enough to come in on the right day, blueberry cream cheese coffee cake.

Zachary's is a busy but friendly diner. But the wait of any amount is worth it. The Sourdough Pancakes are amazing. I have never had pancakes like this anywhere else. I always share the pancakes and an egg breakfast with a friend. Oatmeal Molasses toast is great. Potatoes are great! Coffee is great.

One of the Waitresses is Dreadfully Pathetic – If you are a follower of my reviews you will find that I have mentioned the waitress from Zachary's in my review of Saturn, just down the street. The only pro to that place was that this waitress did not work there. Imagine this, a mean defensive woman who likes to dish out a passive aggressive attitude but cannot handle an aggressive response! She was very offended when I mildly snickered at her saying "how can pancakes be vegan?" Even though anyone with 1/4 a brain knows that ... read more

A spicy concoction.... – Zachary's is the quintessential Santa Cruz beakfast and lunch experience. Homebaked breads, unique recipes, and real coffee create an unforgettable eating experience. Friendly to vegetarians (Mike's mess sub guac for bacon) and wallets alike, your main concern will be the huge let-down you will feel when you move (or drive) away and find out that most cities won't have a place with one dish that approximates the quality and flavor of the dozens of originals on Zach's menu. Oh, and don't expect to get... read more

Delicious homemade cooking and speedy service make this a prime breakfast spot. – The Scene Zachary's is the type of restaurant that everyone goes to for weekend breakfast. And we do mean everyone. The wait for a table after 9am often approaches an hour, sometimes longer. Free coffee is available for all eager parties waiting for a table. Zachary's seating area is large and spacious; the crowd a mix of UC Santa Cruz students, and families. The Food Zachary's signature dish, Mike's Mess (three eggs, bacon, mushrooms, home fri... read more

no good at cooking what? – After bringing two rounds of undercooked eggs back to the kitchen, the server had the nerve to tell us without apology or discount that "this chef's no good at cooking eggs." In a brunch restaurant? Really? Please, people.

The Best! – I don't know who Zachary is but I'd like to kiss him. Hands down the best breakfast in Santa Cruz, and possibly all of the coast! I can't tell you about lunch cause I never order it, but it has to be good, I'm sure. I saw someone eating chili that looked fantastic and the sandwiches looked huge and wonderful too. But breakfast is what I'm always there for. They put curry spices in their potatoes and they are to die for, Mike's Mess is infamous and, if you like, they have tofu scrambles for the health conscious. T... read more
