Reviews of Melinda's Gluten Free Bakery
"The service was very friendly. The place was clean. My boyfriend and I drove from Watsonville with high expectations. We got to the bakery around 1 pm on empty stomachs. When I looked at the savory items, they seemed overcooked, but I was so hungry we ordered about $25 worth of food. Biting into that croissant sandwich was equivalent to biting into a bag of rocks. It was so hard, crunchy, and filled with disappointment. Maybe we caught the bakery on a bad day. But we will not be coming back. I’ve been to many gluten-free bakeries in Ireland, Montreal, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, etc... This is by far the worst gluten-free items I’ve tasted, respectfully."
"This place is fantastic! As somebody who has been gluten free for about 2 years now, I have visited a number of restaurants and bakeries that claim to cater to the gluten-free crowd. This is the best tasting bakery I have encountered. In addition, the staff took the time to talk to us and to the other customers about what would meet our needs both in store and for baking at home. It is too bad we live too far away to go once because it would become my new home away from home. I love it!"
"Found through the “Find Me Gluten Free” app — love this gem of a bakery in Santa Cruz. The team here was very kind — appreciated the samples of the cinnamon roll and brownie available to visitors. The hot sandwich options were a lovely surprise — tried the Turkey with havarti and the vegan veggie (contradictory selections for sure). Also grabbed some puff pastry goodies (bear claw, chocolate croissant, and morning glory muffin). The team member recommended some of the vegan versions of these selections — it was a welcome perspective. Overall, the creations are delicious — very surprised by the crunchy outside texture and the chewy/moist centers. The brownies were a bit too dense for my taste and the cinnamon roll a bit too chewy, but it is definitely worth the visit. Prices felt a bit high, but understand that cost to create gluten free treats is rising — just don’t expect this to be an inexpensive outing."
"I can’t say enough about this gem near the coast .. My absolute favorite Gluten-Free bakery with Vegan options as well. They have limited hours and are popular, so go early to ensure you get your pick of all the sweet and savory treats! The maple doughnut and ham and cheese croissant are a must! These folks work so hard-tip them well!!!"
"I’m not sure why it took me this long to find Melinda's. Even though I changed to gluten free not long ago (to improve some health issues), I love bakeries of all sorts and I'm always open to trying new and different flavors, so I was delighted to find this gem. Not only the bakery is super cute but their goodies are delicious. Not the weird, pale, and often soggy gluten free stuff you find around. I tried their croissants (ham & cheese, chocolate, plain), monkey bread and havarti/Turkey pastry sandwich. Everything was yummy. I got there a little after noon and a lot of things were sold out, which shows how people like their pastries. I will certainly come earlier next time because there's plenty of things I want to try. I'm more of a savory gal but I will try the sweet stuff too. Service was super friendly and patient. It was my first time there so I was asking a lot of questions and they were amazing telling me about all the options. I super happy to have found Melinda's since it turned out to be pretty challenging to find yummy gluten free baked items in the area. I'm sure I will become a regular."
