Steamer Lane Supply, a charming café nestled at 644-670 W Cliff Dr, Santa Cruz, offers an unbeatable culinary experience, especially for those who love a stunning ocean view. Customers rave about the exceptional offerings that blend quality ingredients with delightful flavors. Alex D lauds their "amazing" coffee and advocates for the smash burger, which is both a crowd favorite and a steal at just $8.60. Say M highlights the fantastic pork sandwich, while also suggesting some tweaks for enhancement, showcasing the café's dedication to quality food. Additionally, Kristi Swensson Burdsall insists on trying the Nutella-Dilla, further proving the venue's diverse menu filled with creative options.

The ambience, described as al fresco, immerses patrons in nature while they savor every bite. Daniel Artusi complements the breakfast offerings, particularly the pork bowl with kimchi, calling it “OMG” good.

Easily my new favorite spot In town. Coffee was amazing, the smash burger was absolutely perfect (and only 8.60!), and the staff was super helpful and friendly. Thank you guys for an amazing experience. I’ll be swinging by numerous times a week now ...

NOTE: your establishment doesn’t show up on Google maps when you search for food or restaurants!!! I think it’s blue like a part of the park or something. —-—— If you haven't had some food here, you HAVE to try it. What a gem to have at a state beach! Fantastic coffee. Pork sandwich -- 100% (the rolls are so tasty, but I would switch to a hard bread like is often done with bahn mi just because of the wetness of the ingredients). Smashburger - a true winner (personally I would substitute a savory sauce or aioli for the mayo/mustard, and I would maybe marinate the cabbage as well). The only disappointment was a tuna poke bowl. It was mostly raw cabbage (again, I would marinate that, otherwise it's like eating straw), with 3 teeny pieces of fish, in a tiny bowl and I was left STARVING. Needs more seaweed, more cucumber with that delicious dressing.... this particular dish just paled in comparison to the giant bowl with great ingredients that you get the poke place downtown. Keep up the good work! What a treasure!!!

The seafood chowder was really good and came with a tortilla for dipping. The spicy pork sandwich was also really yummy but the bottom bun was kinda soggy. Maybe it would be better if they put a piece of lettuce between the pork and the bun.

You must try the Nutella-Dilla! And you can’t beat the view!

This is an amazing place, the food is delicious and the ambiance "al fresco" with a view of the ocean cannot be matched. I love to ride my bike there and make a stop for lunch. Breakfast is equally delicious. This morning I had the pork bowl with kimchi and OMG!

After a walk along the coast watching waves and surfers, smelling the salt air, it was time for lunch. This little place is friendly, clean, and the food is fresh. I had the salmon poke bowl. It was delicious and hit the spot curbing my hunger. And the price is right, with a canned juice it was under 20. Not bad for a beautiful day in Santa Cruz.

This place is amazing! Was exploring Santa Cruz on my own and found Steamer Lane along Cliff Dr. A wonderful gal helped me at the counter, and though it was early still, offered anything on the lunch menu since I am unable to eat eggs. I got the Tuna sandwich and it was honestly the best tuna sandwich I’ve ever had! It was literally light, refreshing, and filling all at once! Packed with flavor and protein but not heavy at all! It was so good I wanted a second one but I was full! I also got an earl grey tea with honey and it was delicious! Right by the cliffs, walking distance from everything, and just a great vibe! I can’t wait to come back! Thanks yall from Wyoming!

Traveling through and wanted to spend an afternoon by the sea. This spot was perfect. Food is fresh and delicious. Had the poke bowl and will be dreaming about it. So good! Was able to enjoy lunch, painted some watercolors and watched the local surfers. highly recommend.
