I eneded up getting the monkey bread and the artichoke escargot (don't worry, there aren't any snails; its just shaped like a shell) and thought they were both divine. The monkey bread was just the perfect amount of sweet without being overwhelming but the artichoke was the real star of the show. It was so flaky and garlicy. Just typing this review makes me want another one! The shop itself is really small and the parking lot seems to fill up fast. They do have a few tables out front for a quick nibble but something to keep in mind when visiting.

She told my boyfriend, "Don't get smart with me," even though he was being polite. When she remade it, he said thank you, and she just walked away without saying anything. The whole interaction felt unnecessarily rude and made us uncomfortable. Especially because she did it in front of the other customers and tried to make a scene! In the end, she made another bagel and it turned out so burnttt but at least it was toasted

A Baker Gem in the Sunset Beach Community. Finally took the…read moreopportunity to try out Bobby's baked goods. I had seen his sign for months at 31 Mesa Way driving up to our beach house and decided to order his Cinnamon Buns. They were great. And the best part is Bobby the baker delivers them to your home on Sunday morning (in the Sunset Beach community). We had tried them twice with no complaints. He has a menu he emails once a week with other great items like scones, stromboli, savory pasties, etc. Will love to try some of these on his menu the next time we are in town. (Email him at bobbybaker1133@gmail.com to request the weekly menu.) I haven't been there, but he also sells his baked goods at the Corralitos Farmers Market. We would need to check out that market too. :-)

I had driven by it many times. Usually late in the day after their closing hours. So I was happy to make it in again (after years) and buy a couple of the few remaining croissants. I have had the pleasure of tasting the famous sour dough bread. It is served at several nearby restaurants. It is fabulous! The bakeshop is small but cute. Located on busy Soquel Drive in Aptos. The side yard is nice to sit outside in that wonderful, cool air and nosh on your goodies. I have posted photos of their menus. Breakfast items, cookies, breads, and assorted pastries offered. Vegan and GF. Coffee/tea drinks too. Reviewers mention the less than friendly service. I have to agree. While the items are delicious employees need to step up and at least act like they value their customers. Not a good look. I have memories of better service years ago. The original Companion Bakeshop is on the Santa Cruz Westside! Here's to flaky croissants AND hopefully not flaky customer service.:) Cheers!

I was across the street at the library and ready for coffee so my sister said let's go across the…read morestreet. I walked in and the first thing that caught my eye was the multiple menus. It was so much to read and the cashier was ready to take our order. She was patient and didn't rush us but it gave me zero time to really look at the menu. It was early so I wanted a breakfast sandwich or burrito. I opted for a sausage burrito after receiving the recommendation from the cashier. She also showed me the seasonal coffee offerings that she didn't show to my sister who ordered ahead of me and she was bummed because she would of preferred to get one of those drinks instead of the latte she got. I opted for the toasted coconut coffee. I paid and quickly browsed the baked goods that I could see someone starting to put up on display. The rice crispy looked delicious so we got one to share. We took a seat in the seating area. There were plenty of tables and plenty of people coming and going. Seems to be the spot for all the workers within walking distance. Our coffee orders came out a while later. The latte was your standard coffee and oat milk. The toasted coconut was a sweet blend of coffee and coconut foam. The top had toasted coconut shavings and once that mix with the coffee it's gives it's a different texture while drinking it. It was too sweet for my liking. The burritos came out after and they were piping hot. Took a while for the burrito to cool down so I ended up cutting it in half. I like that they had the grill marks on the tortilla because it gave it a nice crunch. The burrito was paired with a salsa that was not spicy and gave the entire burrito some flavor. The burrito itself is very mild in flavor. The potato's didn't taste like they had any seasoning. The sausage didn't either. The salsa helped but it wasn't very flavorful. It was a good portion because I only ate half and was full. The rice krispy treat was good and not very sweet so we took 2 more to go. The cashier was helpful and patient during my interaction with her. The space has plenty of places to sit with a group. Plenty of baked goods options. I took a photo of the menu for future visits so I can know ahead of time what I want because it was very overwhelming being next in line and pick whatever. I saw a pesto sandwich that I would have preferred getting after I sat down and read the menu. Would have been helpful to have the seasonal coffee menu in a more visible area. Water is self serve in an area where you can get straws and napkins. Ensuring it's stocked with knives and forks etc would be helpful. The coffee and food did take a while to come out so plan accordingly if you are not sitting down. Curious to return to try something else now that I read the menu.
