Confectioners
Donelly Fine Chocolates
1509 Mission St, Santa Cruz, CA. Tel. 831.425.0678
Donnelly’s gorgeously wrapped chocolate bars are flavored with everything from rose to Chinese five-spice and available all around town. The truffles and ganaches are award-winning.
Mackenzie's Chocolates
1492 Soquel Ave, Santa Cruz, CA. Tel. 831.425.1492
At Mackenzie’s they go beyond the truffle. There’s a mold for everything, and if there’s a mold Mackenzie’s will fashion it into something deliciously chocolate. How about a chocolate banana slug?
Marini’s
1308 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz, CA. Tel. 831.423.3299
Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf: #55A, Santa Cruz, CA. Tel. 831.425.7341
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Santa Cruz, CA. Tel. 831.423.7258
A trip to Santa Cruz doesn't count unless the visitor returns with a bag of Marini’s saltwater taffy. This local candymaker also whips up cotton candy, chocolates, caramel popcorn, candied apples, lollipops, and fudge galore—plus ice cream with local flair. “Pacific Double Header” is made with cookies from the Pacific Cookie Company, while “The Great Morgani”—coffee ice cream, espresso beans, toffee and chocolate—is named for the costumed, accordion-playing street musician.
