For a coffee, "plonk", sausage roll, and scone, it was $26, which would have been pricey if they had been good; unfortunately all the items were inedible. They are all kept in a refrigerated case, and were cold in the middle even after being heated up. Nothing tasted moderately fresh or flavorful. We ended up tossing everything. read more

I went three days ago. The refrigerated plastic wrapped peanut butter cookie had no taste, other than a refrigerator flavor. Soggy too. Like the other reviewer commented, the plastic wrap and refrigeration should have been a warning. I told the salesperson that the cookie had zero flavor. She offered to heat it up, but I didn't think that would help. $10 with coffee. I had a similar experience about 6 months ago, won't happen again. read more

Stopped by for breakfast - tried the quiche. The mini quiche was a bit too runny but flavors were good - it was solid but probably not worth the $10 price tag. read more

Gordy's Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Encinitas, California

Haven't been here in years and I guess they changed ownership about 3 years ago. The inside looks the same, but they offer a lot more options in food items. I think the coffee list hasn't changed, but I'm not sure, the hammerhead is still there though! The ham and cheese croissant was amazing and delicious! The sausage roll was also fluffy. The people were also super nice and friendly too. It's got a good vibe, nice little place to hang out and relax by yourself or with friends. read more

I visited Gordy's for the first time on 9-12-25. I was craving a pastry to enjoy with my afternoon coffee. I ordered the lemon scone and the large gingerbread cookie. My tasting experience was not good. For the gingerbread cookie, I was expecting a nice firm, snap, flavorful cookie and it was neither. There was no gingersnap flavor and the cookie was soft. I won't buy again. When I eat a gingersnap cookie it should be a gingersnap cookie. Secondly, the lemon scone was overbaked and no lemon flavor. The lemon part of the scone was a sugary lemon glaze. There should be natural lemon flavor within the scone with lemon zest. Overall, I will not purchase these again unless the recipe is changed and items are baked correctly. read more

I love the coffee , pastries and the employees are very friendly, always make sure that you have a wonderful time there

Love supporting this place because 1- awesome customer service- their adorable kiddos help clean the tables and the owner is frequently manning the cash register and greets everyone with a huge smile, 2- the baked goods are always changing with exciting new pastries (hello chicken pot pie today, yummm) while keeping a solid base with fan favorites (snickerdoodle and R-bar I'm looking at you), and 3- something about their iced coffee is so good, it doesn't even need creamer. I'm relieved this place survived COVID because it's such a gem to the community. Support local! read more

Gordy's Bakery - Chicken Pot Pie- I was going to save half for hubby but I couldn't stop - Bakeries Near Me - Encinitas, California

I love Gordy's location but unfortunately I now remember the time before when I purchased a berry scone gluten free that it was terrible. Today I purchased the same it's only 2.5 in wide so very small it was $7.00 over the top price. The problem is I get home and take a bite the flour immediately becomes dry flour that crumbles into a fine powder and you have to have some drink to wash down each bite down or you can choke ( no joke) I know of tons of bakery's that don't have this issue. I hope they improve the recipe because I'd like to come back. Also most of the crumbs land as fine particles on your plate not even edible. Disappointed :(( read more

We just stopped by to take a break from a ride and noticed this cute coffee shop in the area. Try lavender London fog and it was so good! Friendly service. Next time we will try the bakery they have so many and all look good. read more

Super cute bakery in Encinitas. I'm surprised they have a lot of savory pastries, including meat pie, quiches, and savory empanadas. I had a bacon, cheese & egg empanada, it is so delicious! They heated up for me and I enjoyed this big empanada nice and warm. They also have a lot of sweet pastries! I'll come back to try others, they all look amazing. read more

Friendly Staff! Very Expensive! Staff admitted day old baked goods. Three croissants $18. Not Edible, completely Stale! Not worth the gas getting there. read more

Amazing! Happy to find this place. Had the Mexican hot chocolate and the chicken mushroom empanada. I will be back there soon! I want to try the pastries read more

We were excited to try this bakery but it was very disappointing. We got a cookie, chocolate croissants, raisin cinnamon pastry, iced pound cake and banana bread. They were overpriced. But more importantly they seemed stale and old. Not fresh at all and very sad looking. Save your money - go to one of the French pastry shops on el Camino or prager bros on the 101. read more

I have given this bakery several chances. Americanos here taste burnt. Their pastries always look great, but typically disappoint. Scones aren't the right texture, empanadas aren't the right texture and are far too heavy. Ham and cheese croissant was good, but only after it was heated up twice. The service is friendly and accommodating though and I love the music and belly up concert art. read more

Grabbed iced coffee from here yesterday and it was SO good! Really fresh and made to order. The bakery has fun decor inside and both indoor/outdoor seating options. There were lots of staff available to assist customers, which was nice since I was in a bit of a hurry. They have lots of food options too, if you're looking for something to eat. read more

Gordy's Bakery - Iced coffee with non fat milk - Bakeries Near Me - Encinitas, California

Great selection. I had a hard time deciding what to get. All the baked goods were a lot bigger then you find in most bakeries. The decor was great, very hip vibe. Love the band posters on the walls and the bright colors. The person helping us was friendly and very personable. He took the time to warm up some pastries, it made them that much more delectable. I got the Lunch Lady bar, I've never seen that at a bakery before. It was decadent and rich. All the peanut butter and chocolate you could want. Wish we were local so we could stop by on the regular. No pictures. We are the pastries too fast. read more

You're going to be so happy that you found this amazing local bakery and coffee shop. They have so many wonderful options of delicious scones, muffins and breakfast meals you might have to get more than one. Sweet or savory this is the perfect way to start your day. Their service is beyond friendly, it is welcoming, with smiles, recommendations and conversations. The outside patio is a great place to enjoy your coffee and meal as you take in the sunshine. read more

The sausage rolls are so good. We ordered one and an assortment of sweet & savory items but went back to order 2 more to go. The broccoli & cheddar quiche was delicious. Coincidentally all 6 different items we ordered were made with the same flakey pastry and they were all good. I will come back to try other items soon. Thank you read more

I bought a scone at Gordy's in Encinitas yesterday - $8.00. It was decent. Today, I bought one at Praeger Brothers - $4.00. Better ingredients, better taste, half the price. Which would you choose? read more

Great bakery in Encinitas . Close to freeway, easy parking, and friendly staff. Ordered some savory and some sweet - all delicious! And the Belly Up posters create a fun vibrant vibe. Will be back. read more

I've been going to Gordy's for over 4 years. Even when I moved to LA, I would make sure i made a stop here when we'd visit. Gordy's is family owned which I love! They make you feel very welcomed and always spark up a chat. I would come early!!! Like right when they'd open I'd get my morning chai latte and be ready for work. Now moving to the pastries! You can't go wrong with anything! I am a sucker for chocolate chip cookies so that's my go to. I like their blondies too read more

Gordy's Bakery - two cups of coffee and a piece of bread - Bakeries Near Me - Encinitas, California

Two things I never lie about: money and food. Let me throw out a truth to you my friend. Travel up and down the west coast and you will not find a better Dirty Chai. Anywhere. Not a first timer. We will drive out of the way to make a stop. Once time we drove from LA county. For the mutha cuppin dirty chai. I told you I don't mess around when it comes to my consumables. Also...baked goods. The kind barista with the Crocodile Dundee hat (honestly honey it looks good on you, not everyone can pull that off) opened his eyes pretty wide when we ordered pastry after pastry. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. Also, ya boy workin the espresso machine will be in my dreams to tonight. Oh yes. Baked goods. They were...good. The presentation in the case is stuhhhhning. Megatron selection. Bars. Lunch lady. Scones. Cookies. Plonks(not telling you what that is go eat one and support local) Quiche. Nutella something. I'd try it all once but maybe necessarily not order it all twice if you know what I mean. If you don't understand what I mean, I suggest you watch Ratatouille. Food is an experience. A song. A dance. A melody. Whatever, I'm chubby ok. I still needed a second breakfast. Get a dirty chai latte. Try each treat. You're welcome. Update: my niece also gives 5 Stars for her hot chocolate. She said it was the bizz-omand book she picked up at the little library. She is enjoying Beezus & Ramona. read more

I am a Sunday regular at Gordy's and my favorite barista Anthony makes me the best cappuccino and favorite quiche for me. Unfortunately, last weekend he wasn't there and whoever was in his place had a terrible attitude and gave me very rude customer service. Today I went back to see if Anthony was there and the whole vibe of the cafe was cheery as usual with people laughing and conversing. This shouldn't change day to day. We need more good energy in this world. Not whatever those new people were serving. This five star review is for today's visit 06/26/2024.. read more

We were super excited to try this coffee place on a drive down to San Diego. Got the Ube latte, pretty flavorless unfortunately. Can't make out any ube flavor at all.also pretty expensive for bad coffee. read more

Absolutely horrible baked goods. I bought 4 different flavored scones, vanilla bean, lemon, apple pie and chocolate, and the only one that had any flavor at all was the chocolate but only because you could taste the chocolate chips. Otherwise they all tasted exactly the same, like eying a lump of flour. The dump muffins was just plain horrible tasting and the zucchini bread was marginal at best. I spent $40 on 6 items and all were thrown out after a few bites. read more

Service was prompt and friendly. They had great coffee full body noacity, their plonk is the perfect balance of tastes. I will return soon enough to try their other baked goods As well as other beverages. read more

Love this place for coffee in the morning however I showed up at 9am today and the cafe was 97 degrees. The employees were white faced soaked with sweat. They explained that A/C unit had been out of sorts for some time. The neglect of these young employees as well as the sweating clients disgusts me. Fix your A/C or Close, Be professional. read more

Can't wait to go back! I had a gluten-free plonk and a turmeric-honey coffee drink. I'd try a different drink next time and can't wait to go back for another GF plonk. read more

The service was wonderful. The owners were cheerful and accommodating. The shop was definitely old California with surfboards and great music. We had the quiche and a plonk and two vintage coffees. Both were so tasty and the aroma of the coffee was amazing. The owner took time to warm them both without being asked. I think our community should support these family owned businesses as they are a jewels in the community. read more

We got the blueberry muffin, sausage, egg and cheese empanada, bacon, egg, and cheese empanada, and chicken pot pie. All were tasty, and we would order the same things again except for the pot pie because I want try the yummy -looking breakfast wrap/burrito next time. The service was friendly as well. We will definitely be back. read more

Wonderful service, delicious, pastries, great coffee, I like it strong so the coffee is really amazing. The chicken wrap is really delicious and a healthy option when you go there! read more

A cute little hole in the wall cafe, prices are pretty on par with bigger coffee shops but I definitely feel better spending my money in a locally owned place. I had a medium sized vanilla oat milk latte and it was delicious, I also enjoyed a turkey and cheese croissant. The bread part was perfect, however I wasn't a huge fan of the turkey used in the pastry. The cheese was good tho! My three year old enjoyed their mnm cookie and he enjoyed it, I had a bite and it wasn't for me, but it was definitely for him. Would definitely return to this spot and I'd recommend it to others! read more

The dollar sign on this listing needs to be updated to $$$. They don't have prices on the pastries and I got a slice of specialty bread, empanada, a SMALL wrap and a monkey bar. With 2 coffees it was just under $45. Whaaatt? I know times are hard, I'm just really disappointed that I feel like I was pressured into buying all of that without knowing the prices. I didn't think I had to ask but I had no expectation that a soft taco size, slightly undercooked breakfast wrap would run me just under $12! Sorry Gordys, we out read more

Coffee was good. Service was good as well. Didn't get to ask if they make all those baked goods in house. Didn't get to try any though.

I cannot believe I have not written about this place. It's probably overshadowed by popular In N Out and Crack Shack nearby? First of all, customer service is always friendly. One needs that early in the morning when searching for something quick for breakfast and quality coffee. Secondly, my coworkers seem to like this place too because I bring them some of their sweets and meat pies as well. You gotta try the "Plonk" for something filling! read more

I have been coming here for years. I love their sausage roll. I never really looked at their prices until today. I paid $12 for a muffin sized ham and cheese quiche. Good, but not even close to $12 good!!!! read more
