34 Best Bakeries near Aptos

“Best breakfast and ambience 🥰“

“I’m local! I love that they have VEGAN snacks. This place is definitely a small business with tons of great items. They carry a lot of higher end brands and vegan options whether you want a frozen pizza, pint of ice cream, frozen beyond burgers and dogs, vegan jerky, produce or just munchie foods! You can get a bottle of organic wine or a case of beer here as well. A little pricey, but expected as it’s all about location, location, location! Right next to seascape resort, so if you’re staying there, it’s an easy walk. If you live here, you’re driving 12 or 15 minutes to get to a big grocery store. I love this place! The owners are super nice and welcoming. They have great sandwiches! I do wish for more clearly marked vegan deli options, but I wish that about everywhere. -duh?“

“My espresso was the best I had all week in Aptos. (They use cat & cloud’s coffee I believe I saw.) I didn’t order any food from them BUT I did order their vegan cinnamon cake when I went into Loft Coffee the next day and it was one of the better vegan coffee cakes I have had. I do not recommend eating in the car unless you have plans vacuuming sooner than later.

They sell their day old bread at like half price btw.“

“Great manager now and great checkers ....Wendy“

“Great food and coffee and my wife and I will be back again and again.“

“We three had an EXCELLENT brunch there today. We all opted for the California Eggs Benedict. Absolutely Delicious!! Service was impeccable, Atmosphere delightful with the nice Aptos sun ? out. We all just raved about the good food and service. Highly Recommend !!

Wheelchair accessibility: Need someone to help you with your wheelchair - two small steps. Go to the right (not main entrance) toward the outdoor seating. I was on crutches and had No problem.“

“Everything here is delicious. Over the past 40+ years watched this business grow I can say quality and service has remained consistent and excellent!

Parking: Make sure you get a TICKET AS SOON AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE DOOR. Then sit down and watch the show until they call your number?“

“SOOOOOOO GOOD & FITS INTO MY FOOD ALLERGEN CONCERNS NO PROBLEM! My husband who doesn't have to skirt around gluten, dairy or eggs, ABSOLUTELY loved the treats!“

“We used Freedom bakery for our wedding cake. Being not from the area we were not sure what to expect, we did two flavors mango coconut and raspberry lemon, by far the best cake I've ever had, and they did it exactly as we wanted. I highly recommend them.“

“Ordered tamales and bounce houses a few times. Never any issues. Christmas eve i noticed a voicemail from the day before I missed from them saying they needed my credit card number to refund my order for 50 tamales since i cancelled the order. Almost lost my mind since i did not cancel my order and had already paid them $200 two weeks prior for 4 dozen tamales and had 50 people coming to my house in an hour and my husband was already on the way to get the order. Had to call a couple times to get a resolution and a lot of back and forth and being told they didn’t have any order for me. Luckily they did have my food and got a cancellation mixed up with mine but i needed a blood pressure monitor after that.“

“This Ferrell's is a staple on the days when a perfect doughnut is needed. The entire staff welcome everyone as if they are family. They know what I'm looking for before I even get up to the counter, and it is nice to be greeted with such friendliness each time. 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a great breakfast.“

“Yummy donuts the kids love this place“

“Rosa's tortillas are one of the best tasting tortillas , I enjoy serving to my family, they're very easy to prepare in many Mexican foods, my family's favorite are flautas , also enchiladas , en tostadas, they have the best tasting tortilla which is always the number one best when you're using Rosa's tortillas in watsonville .“

“Pretty cozy spot - portions are great, they do put a very generous amount of cream cheese on the bagels which is a nice thing.
Queue times are average, staff was nice with their suggestions. Highly recommend trying the half guac - half cheese if you’re looking for a flavorful experience!“

“I recommend this place to all the people that get up early it's open at 4:30AM, they have hot abulita chocolate and Oatmeal for the healthy people they also have Chorizo with potatoes tortas jam and chicken, you can also try their Chile Verde tamales, they also make carrots and orange juice I think this place has everything a picky person wants Good Service, Fast Service you grab what ever you like then pay easy 123 step, they put all the bread in the racks so it's still hot, be careful to not touch any metal, I hope who ever reads my review about this place buys one of their $4 dollar torta de chorizo con papas i hope you like it as much as I do they bring the chorizo from Janitzio a place in Mexico that makes the best Chorizo. If you like authentic Mexican pan and delicious on the go food this is the plac, you will come back every morning and always leave this place with a smile on your face, my name is JC and I recommend this place to you and your family come early in the morning it will be worth getting up early I promise. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.“

“After sampling a number of pies from Northern California area bakeries, Beckmann's is the best. The fillings are great, especially the peach in the summer and pumpkin in the fall, but the crust...the crust!! All-butter and perfect flaky texture. The cookies are great, too.“

“Hands down the best quality in sourdough bread! ? delicious taste and I appreciate the consistency, never disappointed with my purchases. I purchase it at Safeway but they don't carry it in the Discovery Bay or Brentwood areas, so I have to drive to Pleasanton or Dublin for it. It's worth the drive.“

“This is where the locals go to get their fill of Santa Cruz’s best cookies... for the warehouse prices! Honor system for payments so it’s best to have the correct change (or give a little more, why not... you’ve saved it!). There is, however, one HUGE drawback—and that’s the issue with over purchasing product due to the extremely low pricing and irresistible scent of the fresh-baked cookies. :(. Maybe limit yourself to a fiver when you walk in?“

“i love the vibe, coffee and employees. Had the Ray of F* Sunshine today but with cow milk. OMG sooooo great. ty“

“BEST BAGEL PLACE IN SANTA CRUZ. Bagels are fresher and larger than Bagelry. Portions are bigger and cheaper than the Bagelry. You get more stuff on your bagel without having to pay extra, which unfortunately is the case at the Bagelry. I always get a Lox sandwich with capers, onions, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber already included in the price which is $7. At the Bagelry when I order a Lox sandwich, I get a stale bagel twice smaller and I have to pay extra for capers and tomatoes- $13 total, which does not have any lettuce or cucumber in it. House of Bagels is the best bang for your buck and has the tastiest bagels around. (Pic is what I took to-go this morning)“

“Exactly what you would expect from a cookie, ice cream restaurant on the Main Street. Fresh, delicious, good service handling a flash mob surprisingly well. I walked in and I was like did everybody on the street decide to buy a cookie at the same time but still got served as soon as I was ready to order, checked out right away tap to pay easy Peezy lemon squeezy“

“In Watsonville, there's no shortage of Mexican stores and restaurants and because this reason I can be more selective. Whenever I'm in town and I want a quick beverage and bite, I'll make a pit stop here. The employees are nice and very helpful, and understand/ speak English. One my favorite items on the menu is the Quesadilla de Cameron or Shrimp Quesadilla.“

“Cruise Coffee Company has the most delectable eats, smooth coffee and flavorful tea options, all made locally and specially for the shops. Their prices are surprisingly low and you truly get a wonderful value for the best cup of coffee or tea AND the most amazing baked goods around.“

“Sherri’s Cookies! If you have been to the Capitola Mall then you may have seen these guys or even tried them yourself. They have these little TOLL HOUSE Chocolate Chip Cookies and mini snickerdoodles. I love just grabbing a few since they are small.I needed to grab a sweet treat one day and stopped here while waiting for another order nearby. They had just baked some fresh cinnamon roll twists that were not even frosted yet. I got two of them to go and they were so delicious and definitely satisfied my sweet tooth.Everyone who works here is super-nice and always helpful. Check them out if you're at the mall and have a sweet tooth.“

“I had a very delicious Chicken Apple Brie Sandwich and Chai latte.“

“I found Rebecca's muffins at Campbell farmers market. They are so delicious and you can't really tell whether they are sugar free, soy free, gluten free and vegan. I have some health problem so I have to be on an anti inflammatory diet and I just look forward to every Sunday where I can go buy her muffins. God bless her!“

“Just received a cupcake from a friend. Just delicious. Can't wait to go buy some more. Yummy.“

“As a vegan, finding a truly delicious birthday cake is tough to find. But Black China Bakery outdid themselves! My husband ordered the vegan raspberry chocolate cake for my 64th and it's the best I've had in a long time. Kaitlin outdid herself with the decorating as well. As a long time vegan cook and baker, I'm not sure how she manages such a delicious frosting, but it was divine. I wouldn't hesitate to order from Black China Bakery. They were kind, accommodating to my husband's requests and all around a business that deserves our support.“
