Adorable French Bakery was started in 2017 by Muriel and Nicolas when they visited Santa Cruz from France and decided to stay in the area because of it’s weather and natural beauty. The only. problem was they couldn’t live without their home country’s croissants. Muriel, with a chef’s background, decided to start making croissants herself. Nicolas and Muriel decided to start a business selling croissants and other French pastries at a few local Santa Cruz Farmer’s Markets. The business quickly grew and they now sell French patries, bread, and savory items at most of the Farmer’s markets throughout the Bay Area, and the products are available online for local pickup and delivery throughout the week.

Adorable French Bakery is outstanding. Plenty of parking, beautiful indoor and outdoor seating, and pastries that are genuinely exquisite. I don’t say this lightly: it absolutely rivals Gayle’s Bakery—and in some ways, surpasses it.
Yes, it’s pricey. And yes, that’s the point. When you’re dealing with this level of technical skill, care, and top-tier ingredients, it costs more. If you’re looking for cheap pastries, Santa Cruz County is full of options. If you want pastries made with deep knowledge and intention, this is where you go.
I drive 25 minutes just to come here—and I’d drive farther. If you’re visiting the Bay Area, put this on your list. Make it a stop as you meander through the Santa Cruz Mountains on your way to Capitola or one of our beach towns.
They also serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner on select nights (check their website). There’s a lovely bar, and on Sundays they host a patio pop-up called Girasol Pizza, run by a family from Chicago—worth planning around.
We went a little overboard (see photos). Took most of it to go—and I somehow forgot to photograph the lasagna, which was gorgeous. Tons of savory options too. Coffee, lattes, mochas—all solid.
This place is a hidden gem. Perfect for a sit-down meal, drinks and appetizers with friends, or takeout if you have more self-control than we did. It’s not just a bakery—it’s a culinary experience. A true French pâtisserie that feels like it was transported straight from France.
Go. Go. Go.

Everything item here is wonderful from a cup of coffee or mimosa to their awesome pastries, freshly baked breads, desserts and I personally love the broccoli quiche!! You can’t go wrong. The outdoor seating is peaceful and you can bring your canine companions too. I come here often and they’re always happy to help with suggestions and a big smile letting you know you picked the right place to dine in or take home.

The bakery opened down the street from our home in Scott’s valley; and i absolutely love popping into the bakery in the morning! They have an incredible selection of pastries both savory & sweet. I love their quiche, bread loafs and so many items to choose from. Bonus the staff are super friendly! I truly can say enough great things 🙂

The croissants are so good! They have sun-dried tomato, jalapeño cheese, chocolate, and almond croissants. They are so delicious! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Also we saw a French bulldog as we walked in, really added to the atmosphere.

Brand new bakery in Scotts valley. Took over the old Mallone’s bar restaurant building, with lots of renovation.
Gorgeous food. I had a Pan au Raisin, a morning bun and a baguette all to go…
Staff was friendly. Lots of selection. Very spacious footprint… Offering drip coffee Great as well as espresso drinks…
I will try the drip coffee next time
Great to see a new business in Scotts valley. Nespresso/cappuccino was delicious train staff and a perfectly pulled shot.
Only critique I can make is $8 for a croissant. Seems a little pricey!

The staff provide excellent customer service, and the food is delicious! They started a buffet for $20 on Mondays through Wednesdays, and I like that I can try multiple mouth-watering dishes instead of having to choose between them. The staff notice when I am done eating one course of the buffet, and promptly ask what I would like to try next. It is so nice to have this local bakery right here in Scotts Valley.

Service and restaurants are nice. Pastries should really be labeled as bread and lower the price for what you get. The pastries were really cold too but it was a chilly morning. Should have asked for them to be warmed up but it’s whatever. $26 for 3 pastries are SF prices without the quality.

The food looks delicious. I purchased a sweet treat this morning at the Farmers Market on East Cliff dr in Santa Cruz. Cookie was flavorful. I definately want to stop in the Scotts Valley lovation for a taste of the lasagna.

Like many / all reviews mentioning their almond croissant on y e l p, it’s so bad that it is a crime to label it as almond croissant. It’s no longer about personal tastes like some prefer it to have more almonds, less syrup, more almond paste, more crunch on the croissant, smashed vs not… it is simply not an almond croissant. All dough, barely any almond paste, and most importantly the dough is terrible. Like flour mixed with water with barely any butter. Nothing like croissant dough. Moreover, it tastes so bad. And they charge $10 – 11 for it. Maison Nico’s is only $5.5
The reason many of us (myself included) get tricked into buying from them is that the Google or y e l p listing for their business is located in their HQ, whereas they sell in many farmers’ market. So it may be difficult to find the right listing in time to see all the reviews. People need to start leaving reviews for this specific business under the listings of the farmers’ markets they sell at. We need to save as many people as we can from terrible food.
