Highly recommend!

Chocolat is a long-time Santa Cruz restaurant, but I didn't visit for the first time until April 2026 when they participated in the Santa Cruz Vegan Chef Challenge. I tried their deep-dish pizza with house-made cashew cheese, and that pizza was definitely the highlight that made me want to go back.

On a recent return visit, I was glad to see they’ve added an entire dedicated vegan menu, including a good selection of desserts.

A few highlights from my visits:

The Space: There is a really nice garden patio right as you enter. I sat outside both times and prefer it.

Dog-Friendly: The outdoor area is pet-friendly; the table next to us had a small dog with them.

Service: Both the owner and the server were very friendly and attentive throughout our meal.

I'm looking forward to going back again to try some of the other entrees and desserts.

Pros: An entire vegan menu!!, Friendly staff, Outdoor patio
