Aptos Trip Day 7 - Pretty Good Advice - Soquel, CA

I was given pretty good advice to check out this beautiful breakfast joint.



Mike's Good Morning Deluxe is a definite, immediate WOW. Chewy ciabatta carries a patty of crispy potato, a hearty fried egg, and creamy avocado encased in aioli, a breakfast sandwich of absolute perfection. 


Their limited-edition Lemon Artichoke Soup sounds irresistible, and it is as sour as it is refreshing. Plenty of acid from the artichoke, enhanced with lots of lemon. It's alright overall, but it was awfully watery, like a hot lemonade. The sandwich is just so much richer. 


The Fries are soggy. Sigh.


Wash it all down with a Coconut Caramel Iced Coffee, their special for the day. It's amazing, creamy with just enough sweetness. A well-balanced drink that you can't stop sipping. 

Another place with great potential. Amazing sandwich - I almost ordered another, and a great drink to make your morning right. I wasn't a huge fan of the other items, unfortunately, so I'll have to hit up this place again to see how often they hit...or miss. 



Capitola, CA

A beautiful beach, a view like an Italian village. 

 

Breathtaking and idyllic, it's perfect for avid surfers...and avid relaxers. I believe the little houses of Capitola Village are all for staying and shopping so we didn't end up walking over, but it's a pretty place for a half day or two.
