There is definitely something magical about this place 🙂: delicious Italian pastries with pretty good coffee in a forest.

Amazing homemade ice cream, very delicious vegan cookies, great coffee, super friendly staff, wonderful outdoor ambiance. Enough said.

Absolute best pizza west of the Mississippi! Crunchy crust and chewy inside. All quality products! And the pastries? OMG! Awesome!

Excellent Italian bakery items. Every single time I'm on the area visiting family I stop and buy bakery goods to take home. I haven't tried the pizza. Highly recommended. Worth a stop.

Lovely bakery with lot's of choice, it was fairly busy when we arrived but were served pretty promptly. Lot's of Parking however it was full when we visited so had to park round the corner

La Placa Bakery offers amazing dessert delicacies that are simply irresistible! The coffees are perfectly balanced with just the right amount of caffeine and sugar, making them a perfect complement to their treats. Conveniently located right off the drive in the Santa Cruz area, it's a must-visit for anyone in the neighborhood. Highly recommend.

If you're visiting Santa Cruz, you owe it to yourself to go up highway 9 past Felton to the outer edge of Ben Lomond where this gem of a bakery/pizzeria resides. They have the most ORIGINAL and DELICIOUS pastries, pies, and cakes you'll ever come across!
I recently ordered their Mango Passion Fruit Eclair, Chocolate Truffle Pie, and Banana Cream Pastry (Half Moon). Absolutely ? ? ?
It's worth the drive.

Best pizza ever. And they have real espresso. Family owned from Palermo, Sicily--so they are legit, legit. So thankful to have them here in Ben Lomond.
We visit this place every time we are in the area which only happens about once a month. Last time, we were greeted with "welcome back!" which was a pleasant surprise. Awesome staff works here and you can find a great selection of baked things. My favorites are mascarpone based items e.g. tiramisu and lemoncello. Their pizzas are so good! Coffee is served in smaller cups (European style) which provides more enjoyable experience for true coffee lovers. I feel, this place would benefit from a bit more prominent shop sign and/or updated storefront. We found it by accident and were blown away by the selection of freshly made sweet goodies ... pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Highly recommend!
Vegetarian options: We tried vegetarian pizza and was awesome.
Parking: Parking lot is not large but we never had issues finding a spot
Would have gotten 5 stars, but unfortunately today the young girl made me a really terrible mocha this afternoon... They are usually so amazing. Not this time.

Great little spot to eat good pizza and pastries. They have outdoor seating options as well. Can get really busy here cuz I almost got trapped by other cars.
