Emily's - Santa Cruz

The coconut muffin and chocolate loaf at this restaurant are both vegan and incredibly tasty. The staff was very friendly and also informed me that their gluten-free muffins were vegan as well. Although items are not labeled, you can simply ask the staff for clarification.

They offer vegan muffins, but they are not labeled so you must ask the staff. They also have a vegan chocolate loaf that can be ordered by the slice. I recommend trying the coconut muffin and a slice of chocolate loaf. Those familiar with the area will know that parking can be tricky. There is a system in place, but some customers do not follow the rules, making it harder to find a spot than it is to get inside the restaurant.

The food was fresh and crispy. I appreciate the recommendations from other patrons. Although there was no seating or restroom, the cappuccino and muffin were satisfying. The prices were reasonable.

I attempted to visit the restaurant at 8 AM to find some vegan options, but was told that the menu items are only available in the afternoon. Instead, I opted for a teriyaki bowl from the fridge, but decided to heat it up at home as I didn't want to use the microwave to heat up the plastic container. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to inquire about their vegan baked goods as the line was long after placing my initial order.

The coconut muffin and chocolate loaf at this restaurant are both vegan and incredibly tasty. The staff members were very welcoming and even pointed out that their gluten-free muffins are also vegan. Unfortunately, no items are labeled, so you'll need to inquire about the ingredients.
