It across the street from my favorite store SHOPPERS CORNER BEST PRODUCE AND MEATS IN SANTA CRUZ. I always order birthday cakes from the buttery and I buy my 3 seed bread. Great morning pastries and coffee.

We bought cookies, cupcakes, mousse and tiramisuo. The tiramisuo was perfect!! The coffee and creamy flavors mixed together incredibly with sweet ladyfingers. the cookies were rich and flavorful. We Got buttery orange and buttery blueberry cookies. The cupcakes were melt in your mouth soft. We bought a chocolate cupcake topped with chocolate mousse and berries. We were so sugared out... More

This bakery has pulled the wool over the eyes of Santa Cruz. They just don't know what good desserts are or salads. No comparison to San Francisco. Desserts way too sweet.

Half of the space is a bakery and half is a cafe. We ordered breakfast at the counter, and I walked to the other side and purchased some beautiful cookies to take home with us. Our egg dishes and coffee were amazing. Cooked perfectly and brought to the table hot and delicious. The space is small inside but there is... More

The food is excellent here! We were quite confused when we walked in. Not sure if we were to go right, go left, take a number or what. As it turns out, bakery only is left and to order breakfast go right. I guess ignore the number machine. It was busy but they weren't using it. Service was just ok.... More

Coffee was well done and quite good. Having eaten pastry all over Europe, we expected a light pastry and found this dough to be a bit heavier, but the croissants were delicious nonetheless. We just went in for a snack and were there over the lunch hour when the other side serves real food. It looked wonderful, but, can't comment... More

Good variety of pastry, savory and sweet treats. Everything I have tried there is was tasty. My husband ordered a cake for my birthday; he gave Jill there a picture of me which they transposed on to the cake in an edible picture of me.
