Santa Cruz Changes - 24: Pacific Avenue 1400s

 


Continuing the survey of recent changes to the south, the 1400s occur only in the short block on the west side of Pacific Avenue, between Locust and Church streets. There have been, however, several recent changes: one arrival, one departure, and one change of ownership.

The arrival is the most recent change. Radhe Radhe Cafe just opened last week, a brand new restaurant at 1411 Pacific in the McPherson building, next door to Pleasure Pizza. The cafe menu is described as "vegetarian comfort food". 


Next door to the south is Peet's Coffee, which seems to be doing well, but past Peet's is the recent departure. Long-time PacAve tenant Palace Art and Office Supply moved out a few months ago, keeping only its Capitola location. 

The last 1400 block business is Santa Cruz Cinema, where new owners took over from Regal Cinemas. That change was noted back in February - in post number 3. The 2017 photo above shows both of the now-departed names.
