While on a drive between Monterey and San Jose we needed to make a quick stop for coffee and gnosh…read moreand so we tried the Gourmet Central Bakery. It is tucked in the corner of a small shopping center in the town of Prunedale, near the intersection of Highways 156 and 101. While the outside is nondescript, the bakery itself is beautiful on the inside and the selection of baked goods is extensive and spectacular. So many unique and tempting creations. It is difficult to choose one thing to order because there are so many that look amazing. We tried what they call a roulette which is a round layered pastry that is loaded with flavor. It was absolutely delicious. Not too sweet but just right. The disappointing factor at Gourmet Central Bakery is the coffee. It was incredible weak and flavorless. Not sure if it was the beans they use or the mix of water to coffee, but it was hugely disappointing. It did not compliment whatsoever their incredible baked goods. I hope they will focus on providing beverages that match the quality and creativity of their pastries. I would say check out GCB for all of their incredible baked goods, just don't order coffee until they make some changes. Their baked goods deserve, as do customers, a satisfying coffee pairing.

Extra 99 cents to make it a large. Pros: - very easy parking lot - DELICIOUS acai with excellent fruit to granola to acai ratio - I love that you don't run out of granola or fruit at the end and they put granola at the bottom too - The fruit tasted super fresh - Acai blended really well, no iciness - Pretty fast service, I think our four bowls were ready within 5mins - pretty good quantity even for the small - I was full afterwards and it was the perfect size breakfast. - Has a little sitting area in the back with some tables, and a counter. - cute decor in the back, fast casual setting. - SO refreshing in hot weather 10/10 acai and better than anything I can find in the East Bay

The match soft serve ice cream was good with a nice matcha flavor and big portion size. We were not fans of the Gigi's taro and the everything matcha slush. Both drinks had way too much going on. I wish they had a menu on the wall and listed what comes in their drinks so many of them had a bunch of inclusions. The drinks weren't disgusting, just not what we're used to. It's more like halo halo vs boba tea. Tip: I saw another persons order and asked if I could order that but the staff told me it was a customized drink and they require you to order custom drinks 15-20 min in advance. It looked good though! Next time, we'll try this option and see how it goes.

I knew I was going to try more of the snacks when I LOVED the snickers cold. It wasn't all soggy after being in the fridge overnight. So glad I found this place on DoorDash and that they're open and available for pickup and delivery. I appreciate y'all for being willing to do so. Side note: my boyfriend and I tried to pickup the first time we found out they existed but upon calling we found out that we do need to order ahead of time. Their DoorDash is super clear about that and they seem to be easy going in every interaction so far. 10/10 recommend and a definite MUST try. The foodie in me is in heaven

The cheesecake was so good I had to sit in silence for a minute and reevaluate every life choice that led me to lesser cheesecakes. Creamy, rich, perfectly balanced, and somehow emotionally supportive. I'm pretty sure one bite repaired my credit score. The staff were unbelievably kind too. They treated me like I was a long-lost cousin returning from war with important cheesecake-related news. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and smelled like happiness and butter. At this point I don't even think this place is a bakery. I think it's a public service. If Cheesecake Dreamations ever starts a loyalty program, I will accidentally achieve platinum status by Thursday.

We got the brisket, pork ribs, Mac and cheese, beans and potato salad. My favorites were the pork ribs (tender, fall of the bone) and the Mac and cheese (surprisingly garlicky). The meats were cooked well and the seasoning was tasty. They offer bbq sauce on the side but honestly, I dont think it was needed. Oh and dont skip out on the garlic bread, its better than the corn bread imo.

Eliza, in particular, is tremendous. She's incredibly friendly and makes you feel like you're family.
