Food Scene

Huge variety of flavors to choose from with homemade taste. Definitely a good spot for those hot summer days! My favorite is the cantaloupe flavor which is only available in the summer months. If you do not want to go all the way into Santa Cruz to taste Marianne's ice cream, it is also sold in containers at The Redwood Keg & Liquor store in downtown Boulder Creek.

Deli style restaurant, nothing fancy but you get to choose your own vegan & organic ingredients that goes into your South East Asian inspired noodle/rice bowl. My favorite is Hoisin Pork...the meat is tender, moist with a slight tangy sweetness.

Artisanal patisserrie near the East Cliff beach in Santa Cruz. Bakery that greatly satisfies the sweet tooth, beautiful to look at and definitely irresistible. The owner/chef is very friendly and helpful. Upon our arrival he greeted us and asked if we would like for him to describe the choices in the display case. A bit on the pricey side but well worth the splurge! We ended up with a box of 8 different kinds for $60.

It is for the most part like any other cafe offering breakfast and lunch but the little surprise is their Tibetan Momo's...a dumpling that can be ordered steamed or pan fried.

Interesting Things To Do - San Lorenzo Valley & Santa Cruz

The San Lorenzo Valley is in the Santa Cruz Mountains in Santa Cruz County, California and was once a logging industry center of California especially during the rebuilding of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake. Now it is home to over 35,000 people. Home to millions of Sequoia sempervirens, or redwood trees, the valley includes the towns of Ben Lomond, Felton, Brookdale and Boulder Creek, which lie along the winding, two-lane and outer areas of the valley and Highway 9. The San Lorenzo River starts at its headwaters above Boulder Creek, it runs through the valley on its way to the city of Santa Cruz, where it then flows into the Monterey Bay and the Pacific Ocean and also supplies the city of Santa Cruz with its drinking water. Much of the river valley is rural and wooded and other areas have neighborhoods and schools, and shopping areas. At its northern end, it abuts Big Basin Redwoods State Park and Castle Rock State Park; toward the southern end is Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park.

Nice coastal trail with spectacular views all along the trail. Beautiful, quiet, not crowded. Parking directly off of Highway 1.
Mane Encounter wagon rides at the Zayante Hollow Ranch. Perfect for families, children, friends, couples and special occasions. We got to ride in the wagon pulled by beautiful Belgian horses, Margaret and Lily and after the ride we fed them cookies. The owners of Mane Encounter, Alisa & Craig and the owner of the ranch, Karen are all very friendly. There are horses, donkeys, goats and chickens on the ranch and we got to bottle feed the baby goats. Farm fresh eggs for $8/dozen. What a fun and enjoyable experience!

Located in downtown Boulder Creek. Owner is friendly and I had fun browsing thru the store filled with interesting finds. There is a patio section in the back so do not miss that. Items are reasonably priced.

Well kept, clean movie theatre in Scotts Valley. Very comfortable seating with foot rest. A nice indoor activity in case the weather is too wet to be outdoors.

Located in Scotts Valley. Trails meander thru sunny hilltop views and shaded redwood trees. It makes for a very relaxing and peaceful hike. In Spring, wildflowers are in bloom. Not too difficult of an incline at all.

Convenient small neighborhood market close by. Plus it has Electric Vehicle Charging Station. Although it may not have everything you would find at a major grocery store, it is good for when you forgot to buy something or have a short shopping list and don't feel like going all the way back into town. It has a deli for sandwiches made to order.

Massage

A great way to de-stress and get those sore muscles worked on. Reasonably priced so I do give a more generous tip.
