Finde Café

We love discovering charming places when we arrive in a new city. We arrived in Santa Cruz looking for a place to have breakfast with a varied and nutritious menu, since we are on a gluten-free, sugar-free, and lactose-free diet. We searched on Google and Finde Café appeared. We arrived and we loved the atmosphere of the place and we were even more captivated when we were able to enter the premises with our pet. We said "they will understand us here." Well, they only half understood us, since the employee and the manager couldn't tell us if the soy drink had sugar (or similar), and the nicest thing about it was that I went to the bar to look at the ingredients on the container and, yes, it had sugar, so at the same bar I canceled the glass of soy drink. Two minutes later the waitress arrives with the glass of soy, and tells me that her manager told her "that since I had already served it and heated it up, I had to put it on myself." He brings us the brunch we ordered that had scrambled eggs with bacon, avocado, cherry tomatoes... When we tried the scrambled eggs... SURPRISEAA it had dairy, cream. When we had told the waitress that we did not drink any milk or derivatives. We call the waitress and tell her, she confirms that the scrambled egg has cream, she turns around and doesn't tell us anything else. Given this behavior, we asked to speak with the owner, who very kindly assisted us, we explained to him about the soy drink, the cream and the lack of empathy of his employee and manager in the face of dietary restrictions. He understands everything, says that his employees have not solved the solution correctly, talks to them and brings us scrambled eggs without cream. But, a place that exudes class and seriousness, was left halfway in its corrective action, where it failed to remove the glass of sweetened soy drink and not charge for it. Since the last surprise came when we saw the cash receipt, they charged us for a glass of soy drink that we did not drink since they imposed it on us for not assuming their responsibility for not reading the labels of the products that they themselves offer. Wanting to be within a category of "new and conscious food" establishment REQUIRES STAFF with open minds and eagerness to learn everything about the product offered on their menu. And that concern would have to be throughout the entire scale of your company structure. Thank you very much for responding! Surely they will achieve their goals!!

I can't say anything more than how wonderful this place was. I visited it for the first time last Saturday, and it left me speechless. I booked through the website for 9:30 and although when I arrived they did not have the table ready, they prepared it on the fly on the terrace as I had requested, although if you bring your dog there is no problem with him being inside the premises. To drink, we ordered a red smoothie: red fruits, carrot, beet and orange, and another green one: green apple, spinach, cucumber, celery and orange. Each one cost €5. We ate the Avocado Toast which had toasted sourdough bread with cashew spread, avocado and muffin egg (€7) and The Funky's, which had creamy scrambled eggs, grilled bacon, avocado, tomato and feta cheese salad, sunflower seeds and their classic roasted arepitas that came in two, tiny ones (€12). We also ordered the Granola Bowl (€8) with natural yogurt from the Canary Islands, gluten-free granola and seasonal fruit, which in this case was strawberry, banana and roasted apple with cinnamon, delicious cinnamon could be appreciated without tasting the apple, I loved it. At the end we ordered two cuts (€1.90 each). We spent a total of €40.80 for two people, but we were super full and delighted.
