The staff were amazing, super helpful and capable, and very patient. Food was great and the place is very nice and cute.
2nd time here. Loved everything! Salads fresh and just the right amount of ingredients and dressing.
Friendly staff, excellent food. Beautiful table settings, bright and clean feel. The pork belly special was outstanding, scallops were perfectly seared, risotto was creative and delicious. Absolutely worth taking the time to visit, I will be back to try the dinner menu.
Had a lovely time at Cafe Sparrow with 3 generations. Yummy lamb appetizer, zucchini pear and ginger soup, surf and turf, and dessert sampler.Waited to get the reservation so we could go there the first night if our vacation at the coast. Started it all off on the right foot!!
Great food and welcoming service, really great execution! Id recommend ordering anything that sounds interesting, I bet it will be better than you imagine!
My husband and I dined here for a special honeymoon night out. The food was delicious - some of the best preparation of venison we have ever had.
Excellent choice around here. Bread pudding is a must and worth going back for
Actually quite yummy 🤤. We got the duck, lamb chops, pork belly appetizer and some garlicky potatoes to share for takeout. Everything was delicious - only odd thing was the duck and pork belly coming with the same sauce. The duck was also more medium to well done rather then medium rare, but still enjoyable. A few execution issues but overall Id recommend this place and will return in the future.
Super lovely place and the food was great. Good wine list and friendly staff. I would say the prices are fair
I went here for my birthday dinner while I was in Aptos and we had an amazing time! The food was delicious I ordered a duck special, scallop appetizer and dessert and everything exceeded my expectations! My partner got pasta and that was also delicious. Overall this small restaurant is worth visiting anytime I’m in the area. They prepare their meats and sauces perfectly in a cute cozy setting.
Always consistent tastey. Filet Mignon, cooked beets, butternut squash and small salad have been my go to years. A glass of Fence Post Cab completes the meal.Never a bad experience, top-quality servers and an owner that walks the floor nightly. Wonderful place, the single bad review is an anomaly.
Truly an over the top dining experience. The best local wine selection, food prepared perfectly, paired with exceptional sauces! We enjoyed duck, rack of lamb, crab cakes and fillet mignon. All pared with wonderful creamy sauces. A Uber hot cheese appetizer with roasted small potatoes, bread vegetables and apple slices to dip, marvelous! Deserts were incredible as well!
I stopped here for dinner and had the vegetable risotto and the bardot chicken. Both were excellent. The risotto was creamy and al dente with delicious mushrooms and artichokes, though a bit over-salted. The chicken was excellent along with all of its sides, though some items were over-salted and the chicken could have been a bit more tender. Grilled chicken doesn’t have to be tough. Overall a terrific meal, and at a surprisingly affordable price.
Amazing food, impeccable service, cozy atmosphere. What more could you ask for?
We have come here on vacation for 20+ years. Dinner was so bad I didnt think we will come back ever. My steak was under cooked and then overcooked. My wife had risotto with prawns, more like frozen shrimp that where supposed to be chared. Not a grill mark anywhere. It was more like soup.We have had many good meals here. But I think there are new owners with different standards.
Awesome find by luck. Everything is perfect and the food was simply good. We tried few of the items and both were well prepared. Service is superb and Emily took care of us. This place is worth visiting anytime you are in this area.
Very good but overpriced. The portions have gotten smaller and the prices larger.
Excellent birthday dinner. Great service.
My favorite fine dining experience. Great tasting meals paired with excellent wine selection.
Delicious, exquisitely prepared entrees, vegetables and dessert.
This is one of my favorite places to eat. I have enjoyed everything Ive ever eaten there. Their version of a BLT with fried green tomatoes and pork belly is possibly the best sandwich Ive ever had - and Ive had a lot of great sandwiches. Nuf said.
The sauce with my wifes salmon was incredible and I had a perfectly cooked duck breast. We had the pork belly appetizer, and it was amazing- the right amount of meatiness, with great balance of sweet and touch of balsamic- even with how seemingly overused pork belly is these days, it was a delight. The atmosphere is nice but comfortable, great for a special occasion without being uptight.
Excellent service. Farmhouse atmosphere. Little bit fancy, food worth the price, server made us feel at home even with us a bit rugged from the beach. Kids meals served with potatoes and veggies. Cant wait to go back!
Me, my wife and two close friends went to Cafe Sparrow for Sunday brunch after a round of golf. We have eaten here several times for dinner and its never disappointed us; until now. We all ordered different dishes, and the other three ordered the bottomless mimosas and I had coffee. Drinks came out immediately, but the food took just about an hour. Not sure what happened, but nevertheless, when it arrived, it was one order short; mine. This stuff happens, I get it, but how professional this issue is handled, speaks to the establishments customer service, or the lack there of. Our server said my order was coming, but didnt make it out for another 15-20 minutes. Everyone around the table tried to wait, but when their food started to get cold, they ate. After my food did arrive, the server said, well, I guess maybe I never placed your order. Its too bad that the poor service we received overshadowed how good my meal was. Pretty disappointed brunch.
Quiet class in a cozy atmosphere. So many great imaginative dishes, youll leave planning your next visit. Prices reasonable for such high quality dining. Make reservations, the word is out!
We love their Mondays with half-price wines and unique specials. Then we discovered their Sunday brunch, and love that too! The menu has so.ething for everyone and food is perfectly prepared. Quaint, cute and a true gem.
The food was delicious! The menu is amazing. There are almost as many specials as regular menu items. I had a hard time deciding. I started with scallops, then petrale sole and ended with cheesecake. Every bite was wonderful. Portions were perfect.
Cafe Sparrow has an unassuming store front, but the atmosphere inside is elegant and welcoming. It has a long record of dedication to quality dishes and fresh food. The menu changes daily and they always offer a variety that includes something for everyone. They are renowned for their pork chops, but the fish and beef prep is on par. Sparrow also offers an interesting variety of wines. The French influence is present in every aspect. This is my go to for special occasions and one of the best restaurants in the bay area.
I hate to admit it, but Im a foodie. And this place is off the charts good. I sometimes dont like rating great places, because I dont want the place to get too popular. But the owners are such great people, I dont want to deny them their praise. On top of great food, the service is equally good. Ive eaten at all the good places in the Santa Cruz area, and this is the best without question.
Very nice atmosphere, womens restaurant. Salads variety large enough for sharing. The view sadly of the ocean growing in. Many variety of dishes, I had a Reuben sandwich I suppose something for a man , but cheesy for two women to share. Beautiful crowd and service.
Some of the greatest country French Ive ever had. Aubry is an extraordinary chef. Wine list is adequate, I bring my family here often. Ive always totally enjoyed the atmosphere, the simple relaxing decor, the cleanliness, freshness of the food and its perfect preparation. My whole family loves this place. Cost is beyond reasonable.I highly recommend Cafe Sparrow.
The ambiance was friendly, quiet, and warm. The decor was eclectic and fun. I recommend the crab Benedict on a croissant. It was delicious! The potatoes however, were overcooked and had way too much paprika. The service was average.
Now that the traditional tourist season is over, we were able to drive right up in front and walk right to a lovely table! The wait staff is so attentive and helpful! And then comes the delicious food! I opted for crab cake benedict and yes, it was real crab , with homemade delicious Hollandaise sauce! We opted for the endless mimosas and were not hurried through our meal at all! I love this place! I have been there several times for dinner, but this was the first time for Sunday brunch! I will return!
My husband and I have learned in our travels... that the best places to eat are not always the most popular. Last night we had one of the best meals ever... at a small local Aptos restaurant called the Sparrow Cafe... My husband had (melt in your mouth)Venison with a cherry reduction sauce. (It was one of the dinner specials) and I had scallops with capellini with a pink pepper corn sauce... the food was cooked to perfection... its a small quaint restaurant a bit pricey, but well worth it... the dessert menu was terrific also... they even had petite desserts... so if you are in Aptos check it out, you wont be sorry.
Went for breakfast and found that the place has a nice decor, however it is way over priced! Way way over priced! Also I ordered eggs, potatoes and toast. Eggs were great, all two of them, potatoes were burnt to the point that they were not recognizable. I never received toast, just a piece of sourdough roll. This is a little my fault in that I should have sent it back. I did not as my kids were embarrassed.
The food here was amazing! The decor was reminiscent of a grandmothers house, with pastels and lace - not my favorite - but the meal we had was extraordinary. I particularly liked the butternut squash soup as a starter. Everything on the menu sounded tasty.
Wonderful dining experience and excellent food selections. We tried the duck special and scallops with polenta. One in our party enjoyed the surf and turf. Blueberry bread pudding was the perfect topper!
We had one of the best meals ever at Cafe Sparrow! They have so many great options on the menu, it was hard to choose. I enjoyed a perfectly prepared rack of lamb with brandied cherry sauce. The service was over the top friendly and professional and cant wait to return.
Food was amazing. Service was great. Our filet was perfect. Desert was perfect. Will definitely eat here next time we come to Aptos.
Café Sparrow doesnt disappoint! Welcoming ambiance, knowledgeable staff, and great food. Pricing is appropriate for the quality of food and service. We had awesome filet and calamari picatta. Nice and quiet. Romantic in a rustic way.
Charming cafe, casual, welcoming, ... prices a bit upscale, but you get what you pay for. Delicious food. Reviews said French, but Ive found a good variety of food, including many favorites. Excellent service. Every now and then, give yourself a treat.
The service was excellent from the first moment we stepped in. The menus was amazing and what we ordered was so tasty and for Sundays brunch, they did offer mimosas and champagne. The ambiance was French country and very pleasant. Will go back next Sunday.
Quaint little breakfast spot with delicious food and great service! Their pancakes are gluten free and definitely worth the stop, especially as there are multiple flavors to choose from daily. They also feature a chicken saugage of the day and many daily specials. I appreciate the dedication to keep things new and different in an otherwise antique but homely feeling establishment.
Very cute place. Some dishes were fantastic, some good enough but not memorable. They have a little dessert menu, and I thought that was adorable. I got creme brulee, which was perfect. Just the right amount and classic.
All meats were flavorful and delicious, vegetables were flavored as if it was someones third time making them. Not terrible, but stands out in comparison.
Lovely food. Service was very slow which isnt a problem unless you are in a hurry. The decorations arent very contemporary: lots of dried flowers, woven baskets and draped fabric. Great apps and desserts. Specials are a must.
Excellent food--at least the salad I had was. Fresh greens and tomatoes with polenta that was slightly crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside, all with a tasty vinaigrette. Decor is charming with lots of light. Will definitely go back. The food in many restaurants is so bland and mediocre. Cafe Sparrow is a welcome change.
One of my (and my wife) favorite restaurants, small place (12 or so tables) - reasonable wine selection that wont break your wallet and great food. Never had a bad experience there in 20+ years
Cafe sparrow is now my favorite restaurant in the Santa Cruz area. The service is amazing: the busser is super attentive, the servers and chef who walk around are very friendly and helpful with choosing what to eat/drink. Overall, the food speaks for itself. I’m usually unenthusiastic about going to hyped-up restaurants because I feel like they rely heavily on ambience and their reputation alone. This isn’t the case here. The food is high quality, delicious, and reasonably priced. The salmon here is the best I’ve ever had. We also enjoyed the ahi tuna appetizer, scallops, and filet mignon (you can cut it with a butter knife). The desserts and wine list are also unreal. Thanks for a killer dinner!
We stopped in Cafe Sparrow on a weekday afternoon after my wife found it on the net while driving from San Diego to San Francisco. It turned out to be a fantastic experience. Starting with the wine, then I have to mention the great service and last to mention but not least was the food. Oh, the atmosphere, and the friendly feeling given off by other diners was great too. I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed in anything at Cafe Sparrow. We would be regulars if we didnt live in Hollywood, Florida.
Great ambiance and awesome food! The regular menu has some favorites like the pepper steak or the Ahi salad. Then they also have daily specials to choose from. Very good wine selection as well. They can get busy so I reccomend reservations.
Good food. Had the Reuben which was tasty but the bread got soggy quick. Good iced tea. Decor is kitschy. Not really French menu as far as I can tell
Café Sparrows offerings have all the characteristics of a serious but loving kitchen and staff provided in charming and memorable surroundings. You wont be disappointed. Be sure to enjoy one of their Petits Desserts!
Lovely restaurant for lunch and dinner. Its a special night kind of place, with excellent food and wine, pleasant atmosphere, and great customer service attitude. We would dine here a lot more often if we lived closer -- its about 45 minutes each way for us.
Great food (the Ahi Tuna Salad is delicious). A little bit loud however at peak hours. Wait staff is very friendly and kind. Overall a nice experience but would be nicer with less tables.
A special occasion made betterMy wife and I returned to Cafe Sparrow in celebration of our wedding anniversary. It turned out to be a candlelight dinner via mother nature. The electrical power went out while we were enjoying out starters. The staff didn’t miss a beat, as extra candles were brought to the tables. The full house of patrons were at ease and all appeared to enjoy the experience.This is probably our 6th visit to Cafe Sparrow in the past 4 years, and we have not been disappointed. I had the Chicken livers, which were prepared with apples, bacon, and garlic, without any of the condiments being overwhelming, and mixing nicely with the chicken liver. My wife had the special risotto with beef dish. We paired these with a Zinfandel from their wine list, and sat back and enjoyed a wonderful evening.Even under the handicap of no power, the kitchen was able to provide their wonderful desserts.This will be an evening that we will remember for quite some time.....
Without a rez, they still seated us quickly in the middle of Friday dinner rush. Service was great and the food was mostly amazing. Ahi was very good. The scallops and polenta were a little blah but all in all this was a very positive dinner experience!
I wish I could make a Review with out having to put a star. Never have I even been treated so badly at the restaurant!! I Went with my mother for her birthday dinner. It comes once a year and I thought that I would take my mom to a nice place. First we got our drinks and the lady taking our orders demanded that i wasnt over the age of 21, Even after seeing my Drivers License!!! Then we got our food!!!! The second I cut into my felt witch was supposed to be medium well it just oozed blood. The waitress came over to check on the food and when I told her it wasnt cook how i asked she automatically told me that I must of not told her how I wanted the meat cooked. When my whole party I was with told her I did she finally took it back to the kitchen. When it came back out it wasnt fixed it was just burnt on the top so bad it was hard to eat but yet the meat was still as red and if the cow was breathing!!!! My party had finished there when I was still waiting for mine to come back from the kitchen. After a few mine the head cook came out and asked how everything was After telling him what had happened he reached over the table and ripped the dish out of my hands!!! The next thing that happened is why I am writing this review! He told me Sorry its not your liking . sir I paid $340.69 for dinner that night sorry I wanted to eat dinner but wasnt able to!!! I went home hungry on my mothers birthday after I paid for dinner. I will not make the mistake again. I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN!
A real gem of a place. Great service and attention to detail. The food was delicious.
Crab Benedict was incred!! Atmosphere is quaint, and calm, excellent service, I havent eaten everything on the menu but Im pretty sure its all outstanding!! Thanks cafe Sparrow and staff!!
Probably the best execution top to bottom in Santa Cruz County. Incredible food, extensive wine list, great service, and a classic French maison vibe. My personal favorite.
Super friendly and casual vibe, with absolutely delicious food. The menu had many dishes that I wanted to try, but couldnt. So we will have to go back!
Yummy high end dishes. Good service. Elegant yet homely vibe. Good date spot... wine bar and the parish in walking distance.
Celebrated a friends birthday. Surf & turf was delicious!
Michelin quality food in a little unassuming place in Aptos. Service and food were excellent! Price point was reasonable too.
The place is a gem! Absolutely amazing food, savoring every bit of every dish. The decor and ambiance is elegant and inviting. Definitely coming back!!
The food isnt that amazing (sausage and eggs were undercooked and the potatoes were cold) but its a good environment. A small glass of orange juice is about the size of a thimble ($3.50) and the large ($4.75) is maybe a square inch more.
My husband and I have been enjoying many meals at the Cafe Sparrow and highly recommend it! The food is always delicious. Once you walk through the doors, you feel welcomed and nurtured with the wonderful staff and owners.
A wonderful dinner! The food was extrodinary and the service top notch
Cafe Sparrow is the ONLY local restaurant that never disappoints. Its consistently great.
Amazing food! The staff was very attentive. We had a large group and they handled it like rock stars.
Arrogant and incredibly rude owner. Overpriced, overrated, slow service, good food..... Take your hard earned money somewhere else.Here is the story, almost unbelievable, sad but true:Made 5:30 reservation. Arrived promptly. Appetizers and drinks arrived in a timely manner. Appetizer was roasted garlic which was good. My Caesar salad was drenched in dressing, but still tasty.50 minutes into the meal, became concerned about the entrees arrival. Expressed my concern to waitress, and I was told oh, you should have told me you needed to leave so soon (Evidently, I incorrectly thought that 1 hr and 15 minutes was enough time for a meal with a very early reservation and only 3 other tables seated!)My immediate thought was she forgot to put in our ticket, or the kitchen is backed up1 hr and 5 minutes after prompt arrival, still no entree, so, we had to leave because I was taking my 10 year daughter to a movie on our special night out. No way to enjoy entrée at this late juncture.Interestingly, and surprising to me, I was told by wait person later we usually allow 1 hr 45 minutes per couple. If this was Le Cirque, Le Bernardin, or the French Laundry, I guess that would be the norm, but this is a casual venue in sleepy Aptos. Really!Here is the interesting part: I did share with owner Bob M. over the phone that I was very displeased, I was edgy, but not rude or vicious, - his response, literally: we are not a fast food restaurant, for that go to Jack in the Box. I was almost speechless, but pressed on. Bob the owners parting shots were you are wrong and Enjoy your meal tonight at Jack in the Box All this witnessed by my 10 year old daughter! Pathetic really. Thanks for the lesson in customer service, Bob. We appreciate it.The good news: we made it to the movie on time and ate popcorn for our entree and enjoyed the flick. Never made it to Jack in the Box, but, I can guarantee you; we would rather have a taco there than ever eat again at Café Sparrow .
We absolutely love this place - the appetizers, meals, wine are all terrific. The kitchen is small, and they not only beautifully prepare food, they accommodate small modifications with pleasure.
Wonderful food with a changing menu. Great wine selection and very friendly staff. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which enhances the meals
Always a great place to eat with friends, or with a date, food is excellent, Seafood is spectacular. Wine selection is good and affordable. Parking is easy. The service is also outstanding.
Somewhat expensive but very delicious food and cool decor.
What a great find. Went on Sunday at nooner, 2 of us got right in. The whole experience was great; the ambiance was inviting, the staff was warm and welcoming and the FOOD!!! 😍 highly recommend.
This is the restaurant we take friends to, because it always feels like a special occasion. Charming setting, delicious food, welcoming staff.
Service and hospitality was excellent and the rack of lamb was to die for. Very delicious.
Outstanding food and service in a homey high class environment. Excellent restaurant.
Great food, great atmosphere, great service. We really enjoyed our dinner here.
Amazing food and service. Planning on returning. We had calamari steak, tenderloin, scallops and lamb. All was fantastic!
Exceptional cuisine in an unpretentious environment served by staff who treat us like old friends. Great way to reliably impress out-of-towners.
Absolutely amazing! Very special place for our family. From appetizer through desert everything is spectacular.
Oh my yumminess. Great staff even better food. Could invest in better chairs but I enjoy the atmosphere and will dine here again and again. 😁
Excellent meal. Service was a bit slow but very accommodating. It was quite busy and cc this quite loud, unfortunately. Otherwise, great!!!
So amazing! Everything is made in house. Brunch on Sunday is a must and definitely upgrade to a homemade croissant.
I never knew this was a French restaurant until now!!! Excellent food. Bit of a wait at times. Sweet service. Lovely folks.
We have here and had some of the best meals ever. I have also been impressed with the excellent service.
Delicious, incredible food with amazing service. The atmosphere is a small French gourmet restaurant with to die for food.
From taking our last-minute reservation last night, to the perfection of the food, serving staff, wine list & lovely setting, this place gets SUBLIME rating.
Amazing lunch. Probably the best Reuben Sandwich ever!!
Cute little cafe in Aptos, definitely worth a stop. There was so much to choose from on the menus, tough choice! Food was delicious and service was great. Bon Appetite!
We come here for breakfast for the food and atmosphere. Its small and quaint and always feel special. It really reminds me of being in France
This place is awesome! The food never disappoints. Pork chop we had tonight was out of this world good.
Busy on a Sunday mid-day. Service not fast, quantities quite large but not particularly impressive. Good standard fare at above average cost.
Delicious food, good service, elegant presentation, and a beautiful, small restaurant. The food isnt cheap but its certainly high quality.
It has a very attractive and comfortable atmosphere. A little pricey for lunch but the food is excellent and the service is also excellent.
Excellent cuisine, reasonably priced for high quality food and service, lovely atmosphere.
So glad Cafe Sparrow survived Covid. Great food and wonderful people.
Not bad. Portion was smallish. Food was quality. Cooked well. Staff friendly and warm. Nice decor.
Great food, great service. Especially loved the scallops on polenta and the lemon sorbet which tasted like super fresh squeezed lemons.
Delightful as always. Fine dining without all the fuss. Lots of local wines and beers.
Perfect for an anniversary, or taking your mother out a special occasion. Food and atmosphere are consistently top notch.
My favorite spot! Been here many times and each has been great. Good, interesting and reasonable wine list.
Our favorite family French Bistro. Great food top to bottom (save room for dessert)
This is one of the places you have to do the food is great . Do yourself a favor and make it by it a great fine . Been there for 30 th years an going strong .
Definitely a spot worth stopping over, the food is awesome and well prepared, the rates are fair and it is regularly neat here. 5 stars.
I tried this spot before with my friend and I am addicted since then. I enjoyed the excellent ambience and fresh dishes and beverages. Kudos.
They accommodated us on a busy weekend night without reservations. Liked their food and service.
Daily specials in addition to an extensive menu. Food is high quality with a consistently superb preparation.
Very sub-par food with very high prices. Will never go back and you shouldnt try it. Find somewhere else...
Great Sunday brunch, cool New Orleans funk/brass band music playing on the sound system. Great service.
The sauces were unbelievable the half off wine on Monday, crazy! And the daily specials unbelievable and service was perfect thank you cafe sparrow
Hidden gem in Aptos. French cuisine, local flavors. Grab the window seat in the back if you can - it has a nice view of Aptos Creek.
Excellent service & delicious food. We ordered lamb, fillet mignon, & desert.
By far the best restaurant in Santa Cruz county. Always perfect. Staff is amazing. Six Stars!
A family favorite for years, consistently top ring good, super wine list with fair pricing, daily specials.
Food is scrumptious, but service is a bit weird.
Food was delicious but the portion sizes were a bit smaller than expected.
The food is excellent, the service is professional and the atmosphere is makes date night perfect!
Very cozy, if a bit feminine for my tastes. The food is amazing, perfect portions.

No better French Bistro anywhere (and located in the land of questionable cuisine)...Update Note, rookie reviewers here reduce based on price--very sad.
It was a night to appreciate our own employees and the people of cafe Sparrow made the night special

Everything they make is delicious as simple as that. Service is always great too.

2022-02-15This was a very cute stop. They do have reservations on open table which was nice. Parking was easy. The cheesy bread was a good portion. The rack of lamb was good and cooked just as we ordered. I appreciated that some of the desserts had smaller portions so we could try a couple. The interior is very quaint and worth a stop

2022-06-12Top notch service from the get go and the food is delicious! The hostess, Darien, aka Director of First Impressions, very smoothly handled finding us seating on a busy Saturday night when our Open Table reservation failed to complete apparently…. Plenty of warm and friendly staff completed the evening and the food is top notch! Spicy crab cakes, seafood capellini, duck breast , and bread pudding.

2021-10-08Enjoyed dinner with a friend this evening. Sparrow Cafe provides a 5 star dining experience. The food was exceptional along with the amazing service & atmosphere. The restaurant was filled with happy foodies enjoying the ambiance and delicious food! The surf & turf as well as the seafood pasta were fantastic. I honestly don’t believe you could go wrong with anything on the menu. Don’t hesitate to spend an evening at the Sparrow Cafe.

2022-07-10Great food. Had their seafood capellini with scallops which I enjoyed.
