Pacific Point Market & Cafe — Restaurant in Santa Cruz

Wow. The service and the food. Ok so this place is a gluten free gem (gf). I had no batter gluten-free fish and chips. They also do gf shrimp I believe. Their fish tacos were the bomb and I don't like fish tacos. Most places are so insipid. These tacos looked flavored and had other items in the meat which made them so yummy.

They also have a good selection of fancy coffee but we just had the basic. Large menu for such a tiny place. All seating is outside. Seriously,...

Lousy service. I bought a few things at the store, only because I needed some change for the parking meter. When I asked for some of my change to be provided in quarters, the sales person claimed he did not have any. There was a tip jar sitting right in front of his face with about 200 quarters in it (see photo) so I asked if he could change the dollar bill be gave me with a few of those quarters - “no”, was the answer. I recommend you go someplace more worthy of...
