Pretty Good Advice

"OMG, so happy that Pretty Good Advice has opened up a Santa Cruz location, meaning I don't have to go all the way out to Soquel anymore to enjoy their amazing plant-based burgers! Since they've opened, I've gone three times with twice in just a week. They are a burger/sandwich shop with fries, salads, and desserts when available. All of their burgers are vegetarian and use a black bean/soy patty base, and everything can be made vegan upon request if it isn't already designated as such. I've tried their PGA Burger and their Spicy Chick'n Burger ($9 each), along with a regular size side of fries with their vegan ranch. The sandwiches were delicious each time I've had them. Although a bit on the smaller side, they're still great and one of the cheaper spots for a plant-based burger in town. What's cool is that they also offer tiny mandarins when you pick up your food - free of charge! There is very limited seating inside so you are better off grabbing takeout and finding a public bench or sitting at Abbott Square to enjoy your meal. This is truly a great addition to Downtown Santa Cruz and especially to the vegan food scene since losing a couple of big namers in the last few years. Thank you PGA! Keep on rocking."

"For me, the burgers here are top tier! In fact, it is my favorite vegan burger in California. I dont eat impossible burgers and this one is made from black beans. Truly the best hands down. I will be back!"

"Got excited to see another Veg place in Santa Cruz downtown. Ordered Cheese burger, Final Meltdown and Sweet Potato fries served with a unique Banana ketchup (see pic). Very creative and tasty food. Mandarin juice is so fresh and tiny mandarins come with it. First time tried food here, will go back again."

"My friend and I came here today on day 2 of the opening of Pretty good advice second location. We are both fans of their other location in Soquel. We both shared a lemonaid and it was very refreshing . The employees are really nice.. It is nice to have Pretty good advice in downtown santa cruz"
