The cheese danish are amazing!!! I buy numerous times when are there for a month and at least 10 when we leave from camping to ziploc and eat the week after we get home! Yum! The employees are super nice also. read more

The food is always fresh, affordable, and traditionally true Mexican taste. Service is great also. Find ambiance outside the door as you gaze out over the Gualala River and the vast Pacific Ocean. read more

The bakery is a locally owned family business. The owners and staff are hardworking respectable people. The food and drinks are consistently good. read more

I went to the Gualala Bakery twice this week on a recent pleasure trip to the Mendocino Coast. It was within walking distance of my hotel and is located next to the larger grocery store, and they are open early, which is why I chose this place. Excellent customer service and the young woman who made my triple shot mocha both mornings did an excellent job. I also had a cream cheese pastry one morning and a breakfast croissant the next and they were very good. Their pan dulce is huge and I will try it next time. Really great place for morning coffee and pastries in Gualala. read more

Good place for breakfast, set up is not like a restaurant but worth coming for the food. Price is relative, this is just a pricey place to land when it comes to food. Scrambled eggs Mexican a for breakfast, super good with rice and beans, authentic taste will come back for sure! read more

We got delicious breakfast burritos (the ones with potatoes), hot chocolate, and two baked goods. All were superb! My morning sticky bun with pecans on top was simply the most luscious and fluffy thing I've ever put in my mouth. My husband loved his giant chocolate chip cookie. The burritos had some kind of Verde sauce and were very cheesy at the bottom. Yum! read more

Best burritos and pizza in the area. Bakery is also very good. I haven't tried the burgers but those are next.

Usually Liliana's enchiladas suizas are mild, and I just thought maybe that's how Gualalans like their Mexican food. They were so good, I didn't want to question the cook, so I never asked for more spice. Tonight's enchiladas were a spicy, hot surprise! I smiled and sweated and felt like I was home in the East Bay, they were so good! Not only is Liliana kind (she patiently tolerated my attempts to speak Spanish with her, like some entitled white woman from Healdsburg), but her enchiladas suizas are also the only splurge I ever indulge eating out here (my job makes me have to be pretty frugal). Only love and gratitude to the Gualala Bakery staff. :) (Hope you got that, Bill.) read more

Good stuff: food was fresh and tasty. Cashier was nice. Bad: the cook brought out our food. We started eating. He came back and said we had the wrong order - blaming us for eating what he gave us. Then proceeded to take an uneaten bagel off our table to give to someone else! He didn't know if we touched it (we hadn't) but I feel sorry for the person who got it. We are required to wear masks but sharing food unknowingly with strangers is ok? read more

This morning I got coffee for the second time at Gualala Bakery and sampled their new Mexican pastry made by hand in the shop. Straight out of the oven, had a great texture and was not nearly as sweet as many breakfast offerings. I loved it! When you are in Gualala, you should definitely stop by! read more

Great place for coffee, but the food is less than satisfactory. I had a chorizo and egg plate and he had a breakfast burrito with no flavor. However, it' the only place in town open for breakfast at 6 AM. Your choices are slim until until 7 or 8 in the morning. They do offer eclairs and donuts, which will satisfy a sweet tooth. Don't eat here unless you want to get energy and don't care about flavor, because you are still half asleep. According to my partner, he says the pizza isn't that great either. He prefers Upper Crust for pizza. They do have wifi and plenty of seating. At the very least, you can sip on coffee and surf the web. read more

Very busy morning place for coffee, pastries and light breakfast. Food was nourishing and healthy. I would eat their again. Thank you

Everything I tried at this place was amazing. First day I tried Cream Puffs and cookies. Pizza is great,too. Next we tried the burritos and Conc has. Delicious. Traveled 4 hours and found this gem in this tiny town. Don't be fooled by the outer appearance. Inside the food is fabulous. read more

Gualala Bakery - I remembered coming here over 10 yrs ago. The place is still here and the bakery is still sooooo good. Pizza and burrito were delicious,too. - Bakeries Near Me - Gualala, California

I saw this place in a general store I stopped into on a road trip. They served pizza, burgers, Mexican food, and had a bakery. Which isn't a great sign. It's like going on a date with someone who owns 4 different kinds of pets. But I saw a pastry that looked delicious and decided I had to have it. Judging by the lack of enthusiasm of the girl at the counter, I assume she was a family member. But I found her surly honesty kind of charming. I asked her about a blueberry cheese danish that caught my eye and she said she didn't like it cause she doesn't like cheese. I asked what she did like and she said and she said the bear claw. So to be safe, I got both. On the way to the car I took a quick bite of the blueberry cheese and wow it was tasty. It was as good as it looked if not better. 16 steps later it was gone. It was so good I had to go back inside to try the mexican food they serve, which ended up being ok. The bear claw wasn't nearly as good as the danish, but it wasn't bad. I was pleasantly surprised and it looked like it was owned and operated by a family which is nice. read more

We have been to this place for pizza on several occasions and the pizza is almost always cold and or old. We seem to get the impression from these people that if you don't like it, Too Bad. They make 3 pizzas in the morning and sell the slices off it all day! Don't bother going here as all the other food is over priced as well. The staff could be friendlier too. read more

Mediocre bakery / pizza / Mexican place. Grumpy mom will scowl at you as she begrudgingly takes your order. Everything is canned, reheated, and old. We bought cheesecake for $5.50 a slice and it looked ok. It was freezer burned and old. Called grumpy son and explained that the cheesecake was bad. He said with a hostile tone "ok". Not one bit of effort or care. I am not a troll and I would never bad mouth a small business for no reason. My burrito was half way decent. Just miserable people that don't care very much and is reflected in the food. read more

Gualala Bakery - Old freezer burned cheesecake. Gelatinous blueberry blob that tasted like old refrigerator smell. - Bakeries Near Me - Gualala, California

I love Laura's bear claws (and can only consume 1/2 -- so I still have leftovers for tomorrow). Today my hubby bought himself and our construction crew the daily special--tacos. And the crew got donuts too! Thank you Laura and your crew for all you do to fuel our town. read more

I highly recommend they get personalities here. The pastries look thick and unappealing. I have not purchased any but they are baked daily. I do stop to get coffee and/lattés fairly regularly and they charge $1.00 if you use your card which I am certain is not legal. read more

Hubby had chorizo and egg tacos for breakfast. He said they were real good! We ordered dinner plates tonight - 1 canitas and 1 chicken. It comes with the meat, refried beans, rice, a little salad with guacamole, and 3 large corn tortillas. Food was real good. We had a very good cinnamon braid yesterday and cherry cheese cake tonight was excellent! Food is take out but that was fine since we took it back to eat at the hotel. The people were real nice and we highly recommend Gualala Bakery. read more

A Gold Mine of a Bakery! We walked in while on a hunt for some Coffee because our hotel didn't put any K cups in our room the 1st night. Blah Blah we like taking a morning walk anyway. This bakery is to the right of Gualala Grocery...I'm not sure if they are connected or not. We found a woman behind the counter in the kitchen kneading dough old style with her bare hands. No machine. We were immediately impressed. We asked if she made all the beautiful pastries behind the counter and she said she did. All herself. How could we resist getting a variety of homemade pastries? We got about 4 different types of pastry, and sat at one of the tables with our coffee's and pigged out. Everything was absolutely delicious and warm. As if everything was right out of the oven. We would have eaten more but didn't want it glued to our waists. This is a must try! read more

Our cinnamon rolls and sticky buns were everything they should be, a bit crispy, and packed full of cinnamon goodness. We then saw the Mexican items on the menu and look forward to them on the next visit! read more

This little bakery is pretty hidden out of sight in a tiny strip mall, but it's worth the hunt because what you find inside is pure treasure (and culinary pleasure)! The Gualala Bakery creates the most scrumptious treats, my favorite is the house-made eclair which is FULL of rich custard inside the fluffy dough. You will not be sorry you took the time to stop. read more

I love this place! The breakfast here is amazing and the coffee is incredible. I always like to stop here for breakfast if I'm in the area.. the staff is always friendly and the service is fast! read more

we usually enjoy the food but the past two times my husband ordered a steak taco salad hes gotten sick . Has anyone else felt this way?? he will no longer eat there read more

Great little bakery when you're on the road! Must try the canollis! I look forward to making a stop for their yummy canollis every year for our family vacation. They also have their pizza restaurant next door that sells great pizza by the slice. read more

We have a home in the area and so we have stopped in a couple of times to try different things. Mexican food and pastries are so-so. What surprised us is that they are a bakery that doesn't have ready made cakes. The young lady behind the counter (who seemed like she'd rather watch paint dry than help us) said you have to place an order for cake...any cake. Not just birthday cake or something with writing on it - but any kind of cake at all. Red velvet, German chocolate, carrot, white or chocolate, doesn't matter- no cakes. The only other option we found was an expensive $43 round cake at Trinks. So beware- if you need a cake, order ahead. read more

This is a simple but delicious bakery. Fall-apart fresh, cinnamon rolls, bear claws, beautiful cupcakes, eclairs and lots of daily offerings that change. We visit every time we come to town. read more

DELICIOUS! We happened to stumble on this tiny bakery and so glad we did. The sticky buns and bear claws are so fresh ant the pastry so light and airy read more

Worst experience at a bakery ever. I have no idea how they make the items look so beautiful but then taste completely inedible. I got a red velvet cupcake and the frosting tasted like gelatin/crisco literally - with nothing else: I spit it out. My mom got cheesecake and it tasted rotten she had to spit it out too. $9 wasted on these desserts, very sad. Save yourself the upset and go somewhere else. read more

This place is wonderful. My husband I have been going here for the last several years, the pastry is wonderful. Four years ago when we were married in gualala, we ordered cream puffs and eclair's instead of a traditional wedding cake. Extremely fairly priced and sooooo good., they did a fabulous job. We go there every time we stay at sea ranch. read more

I bought the eclair here, took one bite, dry heaved for over 10 minutes until I threw up. It was the worst thing I have ever eaten in my life. It had the smell and taste of restroom cleaner. To add insult to injury, their pastries were overpriced as well. For just 2 small pastries, it was over $10. In case you're wondering, the other pastry also tasted like bathroom. A little piece of me died that day... read more
