The Farm Bakery Cafe & Gifts

I'm not gonna comment on the vibe here as I'm obviously not the target demographic. People were having a good time. If I want to have a good time and enjoy a sit down brunch I'll go over to Heavenly in Scotts Valley. For food I got the classic benedict and a raspberry tart. The English muffins were as soggy as can be after walking 4 minutes to my backyard. There wasn't much in the way of hollandaise. It had broken and soaked into the bread. The eggs were covered in paprika which surprised me as I wasn't trying to eat devilled eggs today. The eggs were poached to absolute perfection though. The flavor was SO rich and creamy. Vaguely reminiscent of the eggs from my old chickens. The Canadian bacon was steamed not grilled but still very tasty. Hollandaise was hard to get a taste of but freshly made (hence it broke) and had a good flavor. I did enjoy it overall but not enough to get it again. I got roasted potatoes as my side. They weren't crispy though and some were too hard to chew. I didn't eat them. I got a cup of their house made hot salsa as well which was a standout. The flavors were perfectly balanced. Heat/acid ratio on point. Finally, I had the raspberry tart for dessert. It was a very lovely slightly tart slightly sweet raspberry jam and cream cheese filling in a flaky butter crust. I would order that again for sure and would definitely try more baked goods, they all looked equally delicious. I also enjoyed looking at the little gift shop, it was very amusing.

Everything was perfect, helped us make a Mother's Day to remember. The cheese cake was rich and creamy but not too sweet. The carrot cake good but not great. The tarts were pretty to look at, sweet but not overly so and fresh with a touch of tartness. It was all about that cheese cake though. Looking forward to our next visit.

We stopped by for breakfast on our way to the airport. Lovely bakery and café and so many fun things in the gift shop. I aspire to be as bubbly and enthusiastic as the owner. Wish I were around longer to try out more of the goodies!

So glad we found this spot! The sandwiches we got were excellent and the gift shop has a lot of cute items. There is plenty of seating outside in the front & back and also a lot of parking spots. We went on a Saturday and assumed it would be very busy but it wasn't.
