River Cafe - Santa Cruz

Food was waaaay better than I expected, I got a quiche and the veggie momos, as well as a mocha coffee. I must say I was rather empresses with all of the food. The quiche was great, the momos where yummy and the mocha… come on the mocha was so delicious! By far one of the best food places in Santa Cruz, and it fits the town with its wacky selection of different cuisines. Yumm

Never had a momo in my life, but a friend and I *finally* made it to this place, after several times missing it. I wasn't hungry, so let's just get that out of the way. WOW. I got the vegetarian/vegan ones with a nice, fresh side salad. It's not exclusive, fancy fare. It is nice and homey, and hot food just as you'd like your mom to fix. This is stuff I want over and over. I loved them, and they are the type of food that did not hurt my stomach/gut, as a lot of things do. They were filled with rice noodles and kale and other veggies. You can also order them in broth, which I may try another time (soon). I really like both of the gentlemen who run the shop very much, and will absolutely support them and recommend their food, every chance I get.

This place has delicious food from the Himalayas. Tibetan dumplings (momos), soup, coffee, etc. Owned by the same people that own the Nomad food truck in the area. Great people, great food! A local treasure.

Pretty good food, the dumplings were delicious. Avocado toast was a bit bare but still yummy with some hot sauce

We stopped by for a couple of panini sandwiches (a bacon and a chicken) while we waited for an appointment. The fellow taking our order was vivacious and welcoming with a big smile. While we sipped our drinks under the shade on the patio, they made our sandwiches and called out when ready. And they were delicious.
