Harveys Guide to Santa Ana
As you may or may not know, Harveys bags are made in Santa Ana, CA! Part of Orange County, Santa Ana is just south of Disneyland, and full of just as much fun! We decided to put together our own guide with some of our favorite spots to check out, so that next time you visit Harveys you can make a full day of it!
4th Street
Just a 13 minute walk from our store, 4th Street has a lot to offer! From beautiful brick buildings, great photo walls, and some of our favorite places to eat, this downtown area has a lot to offer!
As you walk through, you may recognize a few walls that we’ve used to shoot bags on! Can you find all the spots for the Harveys wall crawl?
4th street is also home to many of the restaurants we frequent when we’re at the office including:
4th Street Market
201 E 4th St
Santa Ana, CA

Described as a “...progressive culinary hub inspired by the spirit of creative chefs, food artisans, and small business entrepreneurs.”, 4th Street Market is a great spot if you want to try something new, or if no one in your party can decide on one thing to eat! Unlike traditional restaurants, 4th Street Market is more like a modern food court, where there’s tons of food options. Everyone is sure to find something they’ll enjoy!
Crave

Looking for something fresh and light? Crave is the perfect place! With salads, soups, and sandwiches Crave offers comfort food that isn’t plain! It’s our office’s go-to spot for a treat that doesn’t feel heavy.
Cafe Cultura
324 W 4th St #B
Santa Ana, CA

“Si no hay café para mi, no hay café para nadie” aka, “If there is no coffee for me, there’s no coffee for anyone”. Cafe Cultura’s menu is filled with great Mexican comfort food, everything we’ve ordered has been outstanding! If you’re a coffee lover, this place is also for you. Their specialty lattes, including an horchata latte and other seasonal flavors, are not to be slept on! And while you’re there, be sure to get a heart-shaped concha!
