Here are a couple of places we recommend that are a little off the beaten path, but well worth trying.

With a full array of cakes, cookies and pastries this is a great place to stop in the morning for coffee and pastries or to order that sweet for a special occasion. One of my favorites is the savory prosciutto gruyere croissant, these sell out fast so you may want to call ahead and they will hold it for you.

This Italian coffee house and cafe is just off Hwy 101 at the Oak Park Exit if you are heading south (see map below). The couple that owns and runs the place are originally from italy. There coffees are wonderful and theur pastires and other food items are just what you would expect to find in Italy. There is a nice little patio to sit and enjoy the company of friends.
