"Enzo Pelliccia went from Italian hotel school to pastry chef at Michelin star-holding Dio Deka before he struck out on his own venture. Now he makes some of the most exciting pastries in Santa Cruz: delicate fruit tarts, pistachio-filled choux, and gorgeous cakes that look unlike anything else in the city. The bakery is able to make many of its treats gluten-free and vegan, too, by custom order." - Paolo Bicchieri
