Dessert Restaurants in Santa Cruz, CA

“Emozioni Pasticceria made our wedding pastries and they were so delicious and perfect! We decided not to do a cake but do small pastries instead, and they were such a hit! We did a tasting where Chef Enzo prepared multiple pastries based on our preference. We ended up choosing the tarimisu, tart, cannoli, and cream puff. I wanted the pastries to have an Iranian flare, and although this is a traditional Italian bakery, Chef Enzo incorporated some Iranian flavors perfectly. Chef Enzo and Dan were so great and easy to work with. We will be going back often and ordering all our sweets from them from now on!“

“Insomia cookie is so good and I always love to go to insomia almost every each time during the weekend my mind just can't stop thinking how good insomia really is but I wish there more other cookies as well but I'll still keep going to insomia it the best“

“We had a great experience at Funnel Cakes.

The funnel cakes were delicious and came out quickly, served hot and fresh.

The store appeared clean, and there is a bench nearby where you can sit. However, tables are located further away and may be difficult to find during busy times.

Overall, it was a tasty and enjoyable stop for a quick treat.“

“Stopped by Blenders at the Beach on a sunny afternoon and was really pleased with the overall vibe. The place felt lively and welcoming, and the service was friendly and efficient from the start.

I enjoyed my visit, though I did find the seating area a bit cramped for how busy it was. That small inconvenience aside, everything else was solid and I’d happily come back again.“
