Carried Away Foods in Aptos, Santa Cruz County, United States | Restaurant

We have owned and operated Carried Away in the same Aptos Center location since November 1989. Prior to this, we both worked at Chez Panisse in Berkeley for many years. Not only did Chez Panisse bring us together, but it shaped our food philosophy of using the freshest, seasonal ingredients prepared with passion and care. We take pride in preparing high quality foods using primarily organic, locally-sourced ingredients.
Our cozy shop is open daily except for Sunday and offers take-out items for lunch and dinner. We make soups, salads, sandwiches, dinner entrées, and desserts from scratch daily. Thin-crust pizza is available Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Our catering business has also flourished over the years, and we have accumulated a great deal of experience in handling many types of occasions, from intimate dinner parties to larger events such as weddings and corporate functions.
