    I moved from the area long ago, but come back to visit. When I'm here I like to enjoy all my favorite places. We had a perfect crepe brunch and shared our two favorite savory and sweet crepes. Perfect as always. Enjoyed the pup friendly spot in front patio as well.

    Great place for breakfast or brunch! Went there on a Saturday with friends. Good mix of sweet and savory dishes on the menu. We ordered Belgian waffles, chicken artichoke crepe, salmon and spinach crepe and tomato and mozzarella s/w. Everything was delicious especially the focaccia bread!! Nice outdoor seating with lots of parking space.

    Pleasant outdoor dining. I enjoyed the salmon and spinach crepe. It was very tasty. My husband claims their chicken Cobb salad was the best he's ever had.

    When we began our drive down Santa Cruz Avenue, Sweet Pea was one of the first places to catch our eye. We did not opt to come here right away and instead enjoyed a stroll around downtown. Ultimately, nothing really caught our eye and well, the wait at Los Gatos Cafe was nothing short of insane so we crossed back over to Sweet Pea. It's far from a fancy joint, but it serves up some pretty tasty food. I opted to go for the Santa Fe crepe which came with thinly sliced chicken, hatch chiles, jack cheese, pico, and sour cream. I thought the crepe was delicious! It definitely would have been even better if they used grilled chicken pieces instead of sliced chicken breast like from a deli counter but that's a small detail. Dad got the chicken and artichoke but unfortunately found it a little dry. He also was a little disappointed that he didn't get the pesto cream sauce and instead also got sour cream which didn't really jive with the mix. My brother got the apple cinnamon and it was absolutely loaded. If you like apple pie filling, this will be right up your alley! Mom got a portobello sandwich on ciabiatta bread. It was a generous portobello mushroom with spinach, tomatoes, and avocado to zhush up the sandwich. It was pretty good but could have been elevated more with a little bite, maybe some balsamic vinegar. For the table we shared a basket of garlic fries. Definite kudos for the freshly fried fries. Thick cut, crispy outside, fluffy inside. Perfection. It was also tossed in a generous amount of garlic but could have used some parsley too...for color. All in all, it was a good meal. It won't blow you away with plating (you're eating off chinet plates with plastic utensils) but it was certainly pretty good and not too harsh on the wallet.
