While visiting Santa Cruz, we were about to leave to go back home when we decided to get a snack to go. We stumbled upon Pacific Cookie Company and WOW. What can I say??

I tried a few different cookies and cannot tell you which one I loved best - either chocolate chip with walnuts or the snickerdoodle! I cannot wait to come back. I may even drive back just to for the cookies! Staff and cookies are great and the store is spotless. Highly recommend.

Didn't disclose the croissant option was an extra 2$ charge. It may say on the menu but if you already choose sourdough and then it's not an option, shouldn't they tell you, it's an extra charge per croissant? Seems like deception by omission- Didn't notice until I opted for a receipt via text. Cute place but customer service lacks sparkle. Plenty of places to try in SC, maybe we'll skip this one for next time.

So it is kind of funny, the *nostalgia* attached to this donut shop - I grew up down the street, so…read moreas a kid, they were just *the* donut shop we went to (indeed, I didn't realize until slightly later that Ferrell's, which has been a Santa Cruz institution since forever, wasn't actually a big chain.) I remember them being good donuts, but mostly I remember it being the place in elementary school I could go to play arcade games down the street, if I had quarters. Well, we still visit and stay at my parents' place a few times a year, and a couple months ago, after lunch nearby, my wife saw their sign and said she'd love a donut - first time I'd actually *been* there since I was a kid. Inside, it absolutely looks and smells exactly like it did in 1990 - they even still have old-school arcade games, though I don't think the *same* boxes they had in 1990, but still. Same handful of tables, same solid selection of types of donuts. Obviously much pricier, but that's expected - prices weren't unreasonable, the old fashioned I tried being $2.75 (10-15% off if you buy in bulk, which we obviously did not.) That said, I'm not sure if they went downhill a bit since their heyday or if, certainly, I just didn't have nearly as refined a palate in elementary school as now... I remembered them being fantastically good donuts. They are... good. They're not bad, there's nothing wrong with them, if you're in the area and you're looking for donuts, I'd certainly recommend you go here over any of the big chains, not only on philosophical grounds but also because the donuts here are gonna be better. But I've also had much better donuts - I found their old fashioned a bit too sweet, a bit too dense, not quite crispy enough. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't go out of my way. (I forget the donut my wife got, but she also agreed with me, that it was good but not *great*.)
