The good: This place is just all-so American and I love it…read more My aunt comes here for the berry pie and buys several of them to bring to me in SoCal. She's a frequent customer and she seldom eats pies. She sometimes freezes them. It's packed with so many berries and has a pure berry taste. It's sweet but still maintains the tartness/acidity of the berries so it helps your ability to eat more of it. My husband finished almost an entire pie in one day. The bad: My aunt said the apple pie is too sweet and therefore prefers the more tart/sour berry pie. I wish I tried the pie with ice cream because that would have been a nice compliment. The interesting: They're family owned and have been around for decades. You can pick fruits here too.

Doing U-pick is fun: rounded up for the fun factor. The fruit is not organic. In case you want to…read moreeat the U-pick fruit on the spot: Bring a basket with holes in the bottom, and bottled water, so that you can rinse the fruit before eating. The lineup: 5/5: U-pick boysenberries: June 4: Blenheim apricots, June: $3.70/pound. About 70% were ripe. 3: Dutch apple pie. Kind of meh. 3: Strawberry shortcake. Bring your own maple syrup and pour some on top; it needs some sweetness. 2: Cherry pie. Kinda meh. For boysenberries, consider wearing latex gloves to keep your hands from getting stained red.

We tried several of the varieties and they were all excellent. Great bakery.

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. :-)

Not the best matchas, but decent. Too much milk flavor and missing that matcha bite. Lots of other businesses nearby to grab a bite or something else to drink if someone in your group isn't into coffee options. Service was good; baristas were friendly. Nothing much to note. There are not a ton of dedicated coffee shops in Watsonville, so I guess this is a good enough choice if you're looking for a speciality coffee shop! Enjoy!

Rebeca's Bakery is a traditional Mexican bakery serving authentic Oaxacan style bread, the best in Watsonville! Hernan, the business owner is very helpful and friendly. Last time I visited I tried their corn bread, my kids and I couldn't get enough so I came back for more! They cater to parties, quinceañeras, weddings and special events. This is my new favorite place, you will be pleasantly surprised! read more

Stopped in to order a smoothie. Service was quick. Unfortunately, we quickly realized this smoothie wasn't going to be anything amazing. It's not fresh fruit being used. Lots of sugary mixes. For the price, I would say this place really isn't worth it, especially for smoothies. It's not the quality you deserve and could get from any other decent smoothie shop. I'm sticking with 4 stars and giving the benefit of the doubt. Maybe the crepes and other menu items are good, but other reviews indicate that there are some other issues going on here.
