Mediocre chocolate priced for royalty…read more Stopped here with a young child a few months ago; man behind the counter was visibly impatient while we decided, even though we were the only customers. Left with a small box of chocolates priced at $75, plus a seemingly mandatory tip for the gruff worker who collected the pieces from the display case. Chocolates were of mixed quality (this is no doubt subjective, but I've sampled many chocolatiers); certainly not special enough to justify the extravagant premium. I get that running a small business is really challenging, but the price to quality ratio was not justifiable.

Chocolate tasted dusty and like they don't clean their machines and reuse chocolate. Super disappointed and will not be back. Also the person that sold it to me, older woman, was very snooty and arrogant. I'll support elsewhere

This might be ok for little kids who like super-sweet stuff, but it's cloyingly sweet for anyone over the age of 18. 2: The chocolate bombe uses very mild milk chocolate mousse.

Okay, for those who love cookies I know this is a chain but the cookies are just really good. And…read morefor the cookie purist I may be cooked at the stake but they often have cookies from the previous day in their displays. And in my humble opinion a cookie from yesterday taste almost... as good as a cookie from today. But a cookie from yesterday that costs a third as much as the one from today just tastes somehow even better. Some might argue it makes me cheap but I like to think it just says I am frugal and I am saving my money to spend it at yet another culinary jewel awaiting my discovery.

My wife and I take serious pleasure and pride in our "sweet treats", as we like to call them, and…read moreSavannah's Home Bakery has officially set the bar! We first discovered them at the Midtown Block Party here in Santa Cruz, and we've been hooked ever since. This is a truly family-owned and operated Santa Cruz business through and through, and it shows in every single detail. Honestly, the quality of their baked goods is absolutely unsurpassed, not just locally but anywhere I've had cookies, and I don't say that lightly. I'm especially picky when it comes to desserts, and these blew me away. Special shout-out to the birthday cake cookies, they are completely out of this world!! We've had the chance to meet the family a couple of times, and they are genuinely salt-of-the-earth people. From ordering, to pickup, to that first bite, the entire experience has been nothing but excellent. The cookies come individually packaged with the cutest sticker on each one, making them a perfect gift. Seriously, you couldn't ask for something nicer looking that also happens to be insanely delicious. I never understood cookies could taste so delicious. They are straight from outer space. I'm still amazed at how beautifully everything is packaged and the Love they are made with. As far as I'm concerned, they have my vote for the best cookie on the planet. I always hide a few extras for "emergencies." In fact, if I'm ever on thin ice with my wife, I'll pull out a surprise cookie from Savannah's Home Bakery, grab a glass of milk, and suddenly she's ready to renew our vows on the spot! That's the power of these cookies. If you haven't tried them yet, do yourself a favor and fix that immediately!

I also got the chocolate chip cookie which was chewy and delicious, and came with the typical ingredients you would expect but loaded with chocolate chunks evenly spread throughout the batter, making it an ideal sweet treat for a chocolate lover like me.
