Good eats in Santa Cruz, CA

[dandeliion]

I'm heading to Santa Cruz, California this upcoming weekend and was wondering if any of you are from there or have spent time there and have any recommendations as to where to eat? Also, a favorite coffee shop and a place to get a good beer?

I have not been to Santa Cruz, but I usually get really good advice sticking to Fodor's when planning a trip.
