This place is a local legend. The deserts are to die for. If you are gluten intolerant, try the coconut macaroons. Unbelievably good.

This is a hole in the wall place that is worth seeking out for an incredible sandwich. It's a local favorite for high-quality meats. The sandwiches are legendary. There's not a lot of seating, so I recommend taking the sandwich with you to a nearby park, or for a drive over to the beach in Santa Cruz. There is often a line for lunch, so consider calling in your order in advance. It seems chaotic in the tiny space, but they are actually pretty fast getting the customers what they ordered.

Essentials
While Lundardi's is not the cheapest grocery store around, they have the best produce and meat. They've recently expanded and now offer some hot food selections, including breakfast. Definitely the freshest and best quality produce in the area and a top quality butcher shop in back. They also carry an extensive wine selection.
