Throw in a good coffee shop and a good bakery and you're in my will... :D

Gayle's Bakery in Capitola is very popular. I know people who really like it. I've only been there once.  http://www.gaylesbakery.com/

Kelly's French Bakery in Santa Cruz is good. Nice patio area, and it's right next to some winery tasting rooms. But that's on the other end of Santa Cruz, up by Natural Bridges, so it's not as convenient to Aptos and Capitola.  http://www.kellysfrenchbakery.com/

I do like Gayle's a lot, when we're over the hill we stop there regularly.  That's at the northwestern part of the map we're considering, so my wife would like it.  I'm more interested in the southeastern part; e.g., I'd go as far as Pajaro Dunes if Mrs. Mick was up for it.
