La Placa Family Bakery

Amazing, authentic Italian bakery located in the adorable mountain town - Ben Lomand. Worth the beautiful drive! My favorite is their array of marzipan cookies. Their pizza is some of the best pizza in Santa Cruz County. They serve Gelato, lots of beautiful pastries, desserts and good coffee! Across the street is a new Mexican restaurant, Corazon de Leon and less than a block away is Ben Lomand Market, Scarborough's Hardware and Mountain Feed - all great places to stop and shop, when perusing the Santa Cruz Mountain communities.

Fantastic family bakery, very wonderful Italian pastries, gelato, coffees, pizzas, and more! Even a nice little selection of legit Italian food items to cook with like pastas and sauces. Friendly and welcoming staff. Come experience a taste of Italy tucked away in the giant redwoods of the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains.

Love this place. My friend and I drive all the way from Cupertino for their Basquet an various pastries and cookies. The Calzones and Pizza are great too. Love the people...Leo, Deborah, David, Hanna....etc... The place is 😍 amazing. They put a lot of love and art into what they do here. This is a must Go to place amongst the Redwoods of Ben Lomond.

Great atmosphere. Its in Ben Lomond surrounded by redwood trees. The selections they offer all look amazing. Its hard to pick just one. The ice cream is good too. I had a fruit cup with custard. It was delicious. The Bombolini is also one of my favorites. They have outdoor seating. Limited parking but didnt seem to be a problem.

I love this bakery so much! Everything I’ve had there is incredible. Today I tried their donut for the first time WOW. AMAZING. Love the San Danielle pizza too. And the staff is so sweet. So grateful for an incredible bakery like this nearby.
