Lou’s Coffee Shop: Old-School Los Gatos Breakfast Joint

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Lou’s is a tiny little unassuming breakfast spot on Los Gatos Blvd that we’ve driven by on more than a few occasions without thinking much of it until we finally decided to give it a try.  The interior of Lou’s is like a step back in time to the classic American diner period.  It’s interior is worth the stop alone just for it’s uniqueness.  The menu has all the classic breakfast items and a list of daily specials like different scrambles, breakfast burritos, omelettes, different types of pancakes and homemade corned beef hash. The service is great and the portions are huge.  The prices are a little higher than most but that’s Los Gatos for ya.  It’s worth the stop if you are in the area for the atmosphere alone but the food is high quality and done right too.

Santa Cruz Diner

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Grab a booth and sit down for conversations based on trivial pursuit cards and breakfast all-day.  They have comfort food standards such as meatloaf or Salisbury steak, varieties of pie slices, and even Pho and vegan/vegetarian dishes.  Santa Cruz Diner is Santa Cruz style.  By Santa Cruz style I mean the menu has an eclectic variety for all Santa Cruz folks young and old.  Families, groups of high school kids, and transients, as well as everyone in between can be seen at the Diner.  The dishes are predictable and served up pretty quickly.  I took my brother to the Diner and he asked if the burgers were good, I said, “Good enough.”  He agreed, “Good enough.”
