“As my daughter and I drive through my hometown of Watsonville, it’s a must for us to stop for coffee. Cafecto has some of the best coffee and food around. The customer service is always amazing and makes you feel so welcome—that’s why we keep coming back. The chilaquiles are delicious, and today we tried the chicken bowl, which was just as good. If you’re driving through Watsonville, you have to stop by for a coffee or something to eat. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Have been coming here for 20+ years (yes, I know, it was Surf City before). Today’s experience was probably the best ever. The staff is super friendly. The quality of the food is great. Love the choice of cheese for the dawners. And the eggs were perfect. Unfortunately we aren’t locals or we would be back more often. But, we do come back to the area, it’s on our “must go” list.“

“My family of 5 went there for brunch yesterday. We were seated quickly and received immediate service. We had the chicken pesto sandwich with a salad; the pancake combo, two waffle combos; and a meat lovers omelet with potatoes. We enjoyed it all! The chicken pesto sandwich was perfection! The pancakes and waffles were delicious, the bacon had good crunch, the eggs were scrambled and cooked just right! Also, they had this orange muffin that was amazing! We can't wait to go back! It was so yummy!! We all left full and satisfied.“

“We grabbed a chai and samosa at the Anjaneya cafe next to the Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple. It was great to enjoy a warm snack and beverage in the cold weather. The chai was well-spiced and samosa was crisp and freshly made (we visited the cafe soon after it opened at 11am after our temple visit). Nice place to grab a quick bite!“

“Stunning Pastries That Look Like Art — Pizza Croissant Was the Star

If you’re looking for beautiful artisan pastries and creative croissants, this bakery is definitely worth visiting. The pastries look like edible art... the glazing, colors, and design are absolutely mesmerizing.
The service was excellent. One of the owners was there interacting with customers, which I really appreciated. It shows pride in the business and creates a welcoming atmosphere.
Flavorwise👀.. some pastries were fantastic while others looked better than they tasted for me. Here’s my honest ranking of the ones I tried:

1️⃣ Strawberry Croissant – 8/10
Light, fresh, and nicely balanced.
2️⃣ Strawberry Cream Pastry – 8/10
Soft texture and pleasant sweetness.
3️⃣ Raspberry cube Croissant – 10/10
Beautiful and delicious. One of the standouts.
4️⃣ Chocolate Croissant – 4/10
Looked great, but the flavor felt a little bland
5️⃣ mini heart Strawberry crossants- 8/10 Beautiful and delicious mini treat
6️⃣ Strawberry croissant – 5/10
Decent, but it didn’t leave a strong impression compared to the others...
7️⃣pistacho Croissant – 4/10
Beautiful glaze, but the flavor didn’t stand out much.
For drinks, I tried the hibiscus coffee that was recommended. I may have misunderstood the drink because I expected coffee with hibiscus syrup. Instead, it tasted more like a lightly carbonated hibiscus soda mixed with coffee, and it came across a bit watered down for my taste. It might just be the style of the drink, but it wasn’t quite what I expected when ordering coffee.
Overall, I walked out spending over $80 on pastries and coffee, so I was hoping for a bit more flavor to match the incredible presentation.
That said, the creativity, atmosphere, and service were wonderful, and the pizza croissant alone is worth coming back for. I’m looking forward to returning and trying more pastries and exploring more of the coffee menu.“

“So good. Great atmosphere, yummy food, super polite staff, kid friendly“

“A while back, I had a single origin Peru batch brewed coffee. It was delicious. Looking forward to the next time I drive through town so I can stop by again.“

“I don't write reviews very often but I had a wonderful experience with the staff who to an allergy concern very seriously and took the time not only to look up ingredients to a new item but when the packaging offered very little information, Jocelyn (I'm bad with names, I'm sorry if I messed yours up) the manager took the time too look the ingredients up herself and came after us to inform us of the possible allergy concern. Above and beyond service! Thank you guys for fueling us up for our long trip back home!“

“Sugar Plum Restaurant is a fantastic stop during a day at Gilroy Gardens. Whether you're taking a break from exploring the park or looking for a quick and tasty meal, it’s a solid choice. The food, the service, and the location all come together for a delightful experience. Highly recommended for families and park-goers!“

“Don’t get me wrong, a Starbucks is Starbucks. For some odd reason however it’s is the Prunedale location which has lids that never fit for their iced drinks. Like I thought it was a once or twice thing but it’s now happened again where I spill my f’ing drink on myself because of it. I just simply put it in the cup holder after and the lid popped off. Please get this fixed. They also made a bad sweet cream cold brew which is weird considering they all use the same recipe.“
