Editorial Review for Zachary's Restaurant – by James Wevley

The Scene
Zachary's is the type of restaurant that everyone goes to for weekend breakfast. And we do mean everyone. The wait for a table after 9am often approaches an hour, sometimes longer. Free coffee is available for all eager parties waiting for a table. Zachary's seating area is large and spacious; the crowd a mix of UC Santa Cruz students, and families.

The Food

Zachary's signature dish, Mike's Mess (three eggs, bacon, mushrooms, home fries slathered with sour cream, chives and cheese), is a delicious way to start the day. Other breakfast items, like sourdough pancakes with assorted berries, and blueberry cream cheese coffeecake are also masterfully prepared. All of Zachary's ingredients are on the healthier side and there's not a greasy spoon in the house. Provided you are patient, dining here is well worth the wait.

Zachary's is a busy but friendly diner. But the wait of any amount is worth it. The Sourdough Pancakes are amazing. I have never had pancakes like this anywhere else. I always share the pancakes and an egg breakfast with a friend. Oatmeal Molasses toast is great. Potatoes are great! Coffee is great.
