34 Best Bakeries near Scotts Valley

“Love this place! We visited from the east coast and I'm highly impressed. They had quite the variety of bagels - my favorite was the pesto cheese. The eggs were cooked to perfection in the sandwich I got. Service was super fast and people were nice.“

“Fantastic spot! Nice, open and clean kitchen. Mattias and staff are amazing to work with. Would highly recommend!“

“As a regular customer of this amazing café, I couldn’t be more happy I have a spacial needs kid and this is his favorite place the owner and the staff are super inclusive and treat him like a king when he comes by I highly recommend this place (both for the food and for the treatment and the service that we get) 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My store. Been going to the Scotts Valley Safeway for 13 years now. Rarely been disappointed. When I have been disappointed, they have never hesitated to rectify the situation. When they have had to rectify a situation, they have never hesitated to make it make it better. Great store with a great staff. This particular store and the people who maintain it not only serve the Scotts Valley community, but also have people coming all the way from the East and West Santa Cruz communities. Interesting thing about that is, both of those communities already have a Safeway store readily available. Those people actually choose to drive to Scotts Valley to shop. One of the managers, Kelly, is an absolute gift from Heaven. Scotts Valley Safeway rocks!!!
And nothing has changed, since Google asked. Still awesome. Still awesome. Still awesome.“

“Came to Ferrell's twice for breakfast sandwiches during a recent stay at the Four Points Sheraton just a 3 minute walk away. - It's a tiny little place that felt like a throwback to a bygone era. Simple, cute, clean, and charming. Had good service from the same nice gentleman both times I was there. If you're looking for some simple morning fare while staying nearby, I would definitely recommend you check out this Ferrell's location.“

“Gayle's Bakery has great food and service. I have been there more times then I can count and everytime it has been great. It can be difficult to find a place to sit and that's only because the place is that good.
Tonight my wife and I went for some food and desserts to take to go. We were helped by Brandon and he has great customer service, positive attitude and able to handle high volume of customers. I recommend going to Gayle's if you are in the area and wants some good food for anytime of the day.“

“Yummy donuts the kids love this place“

“We LOVE Lori!!!

She did our wedding cake, our gender reveal, and our baby shower desserts!!

She really worked with us to get me exactly what we wanted…and more!!!

We will use her for everything and anything moving forward!!!

She was amazing and her desserts are even better!!!!!“

“I really like their German Farm Bread. However, the bread starts molding the next day after the Best Before date, so there are only 2-3 days to enjoy it.“

“My husband and I recently celebrated our 50th birthdays and were lucky enough to discover Lil Bites Bakery through a ChatGPT search. Lindley — a wonderfully kind and talented baker/entrepreneur — created the most delicious mini chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit shortbread tarts for our celebration.

The portions were perfect, and the flavors were balanced — not overly sweet like so many bakeries. Lindley personally delivered the desserts right on time and even included a handwritten card, which added such a thoughtful and beautiful touch to our special day!“

“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!“

“The consistent line out the door should be your hint that this spot is a must if you're in need of a grab and go breakfast. Sure, Zachary's is fantastic, but waiting for a seat and having a full sit down meal isn't always an option if you want to get to the monthly vintage fair before the crowds. Grab your bagel melt to-go and eat as you walk. Or, my personal favorite- the lox deluxe, but be sure to sub their house made pickled onions and grab a Natalie's Orchard juice to go with it.“

“Best breakfast and ambience 🥰“

“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!“

“Secret's out, kids. Best tamales anywhere. Lots of meat vs masa. Grab some Mexican sour cream while you are there. We've been doing this nearly every trip for years. You won't be disappointed. Will run out on heavy tourist days, so get them 1PM or so.“

“The croissants are sooooo delicious. They are super incredible when they are super fresh and warm in the morning or still amazing when it is later in the day..The ladies that work here are so nice. The sandwiches are huge(super tall) like how do you even take a bite?!!! Lots of free parking and wheelchair accessible. All the donuts look incredible too.“

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

“During our 2 night mini vacation in Monterey this week, Feb 2 & 3, 2023, we bought a package of these cookies from a liquor store, on Lighthouse Avenue and now consider them to be our all-time favorite cookie.“

“4-seed Compagnon sliced bread, $9, purchased at Whole Foods Cupertino when I drive down from Pacifica for the college flea market 1st Saturday each month. SO DELICIOUS !!! This bread is not carried at the Potrero Hill Whole Foods in SF. Again, the best bread ever, yummy for toast.“

“Stopped in this mall tired in the evening on a long drive, desparately in need of a coffee. I happened to meet the owner Sherri as they were wrapping up for the day. She could have said no, we're closing, we're all out of coffee, but she made me the LAST cup of coffee in the entire mall at any restaurant inside, and dressed up with cream and sugar exactly how I asked. She gave me a free sample of her cookies while waiting, said it will be 2.95 for the coffee. I handed her my credit card and said PLEASE charge me extra for your fantastic service and hospitality, I don't have cash for the tip jar right now, at least charge 7 or 8 bucks if Starbucks wants that much!

...She refused to take any extra of my money above the $3. And that cookie was the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had in my life. Thank you so much Sherri! Your cookies, coffee, and hospitality and friendliness to a stranger are all world-class. I would come back every single day if I could.“

“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!“

“some of the best bread I've ever tasted. The whole fam is hooked.“

“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.“

“This shop has been a gift to Felton for decades. Come here early if you can! The fresh donuts are delicious, and the owner is incredibly welcoming and kind to customers. We tried a fresh maple bar right after it came out of the oven, and it was the best I'd ever had. The other items we tried (glazed donut, old fashioned donut, and blueberry fritter) were also excellent.“

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

“We happened to stop by when the entire street’s power went out. Even though the staff had to deal with the unplanned power outage, they still provided plenty of yummy food and drink options which were all offered with a smile. Excellent customer service and cozy ambience.“

“Have been here several times for breakfast and lucky for us we almost always get Naomi as our server, although every one is super nice! Naomi is very attentive and will give suggestions if you ask. She’s awesome! Today hubby and I each got the Huevos Rancheros-delicious! Two crispy tortillas with black beans, their yummy ranchero sauce, cheese and two perfect eggs over medium. I never ever finish my breakfast but this was so good I did and finished before the hubby-lol! And the bill was $37.00. I can’t remember the last time I paid this little of an amount for a delicious breakfast for two. They also have daily lunch specials-always good and so reasonable!“

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

“Stopped into Companion Bakeshop Aptos and had a much-needed experience. The staff were friendly, and the barista who made my flat white did an amazing job — absolutely nailed the espresso pull. The coffee had rich notes of chocolate (my favorite), and the milk froth was smooth, silky, and perfectly balanced.

The pastries looked incredible — and it’s clear why this place is known for them. I wasn’t in the mood for one this time, but I’ll definitely be back to try them out. The space is quaint and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and I loved being able to watch the pastries being made in the back corner of the shop.

If I’m ever in Aptos again, this will be my go-to spot for a morning flat white.“

“Toasted marshmallow topper 👍🏽“

“Haven’t had the desserts yet, but I loved the whole wheat and Lepain loaves. Nice that they will slice the loaves for you if you like!“

“I might recommend this place for its pies & pastries, but not their coffee offerings. I guess they don’t get many requests for mochas because what I got was mostly milk with a splash of coffee & zero chocolate. Getting it iced costs another 50¢, which I’ve never seen before. They really don’t promote their coffee beverages, so…. Hopefully your experience will be better.“

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