Santa Cruz - Jumping Monkey info AND why no Saturn listing?

[Guest guest]

We are spending Thanksgiving weekend in Santacruz, so I looked at the

Ultimate Guide and also talked to a few people about vegan restaurants.

One FYI : Jumping Monkey WILL be open for thanksgiving. They might be on

reduced hours, but are having a special menu with a donation to a charity

option

 

One Question: I wonder why the Saturn Cafe on Laurel St never made it to the

UG? Several peopel told me about it and they are open (i just checked). Just

wondering if there is some reason we need to avoid eating there

 

Thanks

Saturn Café has been in the guide from the start and has reviews going back

to 2004.

Here's a list of veg restaurants in the Santa Cruz area (I think

most of them are in the guide):

 

Asian Rose

1547 Pacific Ave

Santa Cruz, CA · 831-458-3023

Long-time favorite; quick unusual inexpensive Sri Lankan food.

 

Dharma's

4250 Capitola Rd

Capitola, CA · 831-462-1717

http://www.dharmaland.com/

Very creative and healthy, lots of locally grown veggies, rotating

specials, huge portions. Most of us eat here all the time.

 

Jumping Monkey Cafe

418 Front Street

Santa Cruz, CA · 831-466-0168

http://www.jumpingmonkeycafe.com/

Small cafe with good homemade vegan Indian food.

 

La Vie (raw vegan)

429 Front Street (at Cathcart)

Santa Cruz, CA 95060

http://www.lavie.us/

Very good raw vegan food. Raw food requires a lot of preparation, so

be prepared to pay for that.

 

Malabar Cafe

1116 Soquel Ave

Santa Cruz, CA · 831-423-7906

http://menustation.com/Malabar/menu.html

Upscale Sri Lankan; very creative and very good.

 

Saturn Cafe

145 Laurel St.

Santa Cruz, CA · 831-429-8505

http://www.saturncafe.com/

A long-time Santa Cruz icon. Diner food and more; tatooed waiters;

wildly painted walls in a Saturn theme; shadowbox tables containing

strange items.

 

Sri (mostly vegan, but a couple chicken dishes)

736 Water St

Santa Cruz, CA · 831-457-2350

Sri Lankan food; lots of vegan dishes to choose from.
