on Citysearch Jul 22, 2008My friends and I went to Saturn Cafe not knowing it was a vegetarian restaurant. I'm vegetarian so it was no problem for me, but they were a bit concerned. They really enjoyed their dishes but I have to say that the... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 03, 2008Coming here to eat is a Santa Cruz tradition for my friends and I. We love the french fries and the earth-friendly options. They specialize in making healthy vegan/vegetarian grub absolutely amazing. The vibe is... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 09, 2008My husband and I went to Saturn Cafe, drawn by the sign that said "burgers, shakes and fries," not knowing that it was a vegetarian restaurant. We were really hungry after a lot of walking in the area. Even after looking... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 05, 2007Aside from the terrible dated 90's music played through the worst sound system on Earth giving me a headache, the disgusting "art" inside the glass tabletops, the unhealthy looking employees, the ugly colors that... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 20, 2006I really like the design of Saturn (each table has a different theme), but I have yet to find something that I like there. The service is horrible. The employees are very nice, but seem to be moving on their own time and... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 16, 2006How could a health food place be bad? The service is borderline nasty and their meals never seem hot. I love the decor here though. I'm starting to lose faith in the Santa Cruz Dining Scene. Is there ANY good food in this... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 24, 2005the saturn cafe in its new (well, not that new) location is bigger and better. the location is not quite as funky as the old one on mission, but one thing the saturn cafe need not worry about is a lack of funk. and for being... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 03, 2005Saturn has neat ambiance and some decent food. Unfortunately the service is terrible. Absolutely horrible.Generally speaking, because I know there are a few cool service people there, the service is not about the... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 01, 2005Saturn has delicious veggie burgers! And the best fries ever-- try them with the ranch and it's heaven. Their tomato soup is great, too-- especially with a chunk of their cornbread. All the salads I've tried have been... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 17, 2005This place has a flavor all its own. For example, if you wear a wig on Tuesdays, you get a discount. It's a vegetarian/ vegan-friendly kind of place, but don't let that scare you. I've taken my steak loving brother there... (more)

on Judys Book Jul 13, 2005I don't go to saturn for the food. They're milkshakes are awesome, but I've never impressed with the meals. They are open super late and atmosphere is great. The staff is eccentric and very santa cruz. They also have... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 13, 2005Saturn Cafe is a concept eatery: fill the menu with fake meat alternatives to burgers, chicken, and sandwiches, fill the jukebox with goth, punk, and rock, and bridge it together with cute punk waitresses. Great... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 18, 2004Call me old fashion but when I'm in a restaurant I don't want to be served by over-tattooed, over-pierced, alternative/goth not motivated waiters. They all seem to be mad at the whole world. Be prepared for some... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 21, 2004I don't know what the fuss is all about. I've never been a fan of Saturn Cafe. I think it's great that they have all the vegetarian/vegan options, since I'm not a big meat eater, but I've found most of the food mediocre.... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 07, 2002Whenever I drive on down to Santa Cruz from the Bay Area, I always have to stop at the Saturn Cafe and get my Fakin' Bacon Cheeseburger fix. They are amazing! You can pick from several burger substitutes for this. Also... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 07, 2002Odd, I would hardly call Saturn a dive. Funky, hip, unique, fun, loud, laid back, expressive, yes... but not a dive. The decor is great featuring giant tattoo flash art, stuffed animals embedded in tabletops,... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 06, 2002I've been a fan of the Saturn for years -- ever since the Mission Street location. A lot has changed for this offbeat vegetarian restaurant, but one thing remains constant -- the food still rocks! The meatless... (more)
