after being a student at soquel high for 4 years, i've grown to love this place. every mon/wed/fri(don't ask why those days! haha) i would venture off-campus to the lovely Aldo's bakery for their pepperoni pizza! for 3.50 for a hefty slice of pizza i could not complain! it can get a little hot and muggy, but i'd expect that from a little bakery filled with 30 high school kids. it's yummy, affordable and the owners treat you like the WORLD! it's very nice compared to some of those lowsy chains out there.
they have baked goods galore(and their bread is to DIE for!), smoothies, coffee, hot and fresh pasta, pizza, sandwiches and breakfast items too! plus, cold drinks, like apple juice and snapple. oh and ICE CREAM! it's delicious and affordable. love it, love it, love it. i'm 19 now, and find myself still coming back for more! -

Damn, nobody reviewed Aldo's?
It's a real Italian bakery, maybe the only one south of San Francisco and north of Santa Barbara. They make good Italian pastries and (at the holidays) holiday cakes and bread. I'm not an expert, but I tried something different every time I went in and they were always excellent. Well, shortbread cookies can only be so good, but otherwise they have some luscious stuff there.
Short hours and iffy parking are the major drawbacks. It's in "downtown Soquel," right by the Ugly Mug.
Their focaccia is delicious and olive-oil drenched and inexpensive. Two pieces make a substantial lunch for under $3 bucks. Their sandwiches, pre-made, always taste fresh and are made with high-quality ingredients. The dining area is attractive and quiet; it's a good place to be. -

My daughter got married on June 25th at Aldo's restaurant so I called Norie at Aldos Bakery about the desserts. My daughter did not want a wedding cake she wanted mini desserts. Norie was so helpful telling me about what she could do. We had mini cupcakes, eclairs, lemon squares,canniloni and cookies. They were a big success. The quote was very good so we went with the bakery. They delivered them to the restaurant and set them up for us. The mini cupcakes were the biggest success. Definitely would call Norie again if in needed of desserts while in Santa Cruz.

This place is amazing. Their food tastes incredible and everyone who works there is always so nice. Try any of their pastas, sandwiches, or desserts. Everything is made fresh, from scratch on a daily basis. The prices are very reasonable as well, which helps in this economy.
