I can report the Queen Anne Top Pot as being as reliably delicious as all other locations.

I'm always underwhelmed by Julia's. Everytime we decide to go, I feel like I'm getting dragged into a Nicole Kidman movie. Takes as long, too.

Soif was definitely not there when I roamed the streets of Santa Cruz! My drinking spot in SC was a bar called "The Poet and The Patriot." But I will stand by my love for Zachary's and Mike's Mess until the day I die.

Meh. My experiences with Julia's have definitely been "miss". The last time I went, my girlfriend and I were left on our own long enough to wonder if we'd been abandoned. When the waitress finally showed up, she was very abrupt: "Know what you want?" This for a menu that seems devoted to "Ask your server for the daily special." I'll stick with sitting at the counter at the 5 Spot or hiking over the hill to Roxy's.

For me, the most delicious thing in Santa Cruz is a wine bar called Soif.

The 14 Carrot Cafe is still tres tres yummy. I used to go there for lunch when I worked on eastlake when I was craving breakfast at a non-traditional time. I always go for the "Hobo Breakfast" at Julia's, which features their delightful potatoes, with green peppers, onions, and cheese. The thing with Julia's is it is incredibly hit or miss. Some days it's great, tasty, and served speedily. Sometimes it takes an hour and a half, with no coffee refills, and the final product being a semi-cold and uninspired plate. Though I am a devoted bruncher, nowhere in Seattle tops "Zacahry's" in Santa Cruz, CA. My first regular brunch place and Mike's Mess -- the most delicious breakfast food ever.

I've been loving Portage Bay's brunch for special occasions. It tastes better in my experience, and fresher -- maybe I just OD'd on Julia's in decades past, though! Another brunch place I've been meaning to hit again is 14 Carrot Cafe. Anyone been there recently? I haven't been in at least four or five years.
