Panaria

Panaria is a solid bakery stop in Santa Cruz where you can grab freshly baked bread, pastries, and good coffee to take away or enjoy at one of the few tables inside. It's the kind of place locals duck into early in the morning — unhurried and no-frills — with a decent spread of healthy take-away options alongside the sweeter stuff. If you're up early and want a proper breakfast without any fuss, this is your spot.
