    Appetizer menu
    Stacy C.

    Was in Morgan Hill today and stopped in at Lawson's Bakery to try their beignets, which I'd heard were very good. The bakery is on Monterey Highway in front of a townhouse complex and easy to miss. I had no trouble finding a parking spot, but it was a quiet Saturday evening. Other reviews mention parking can be challenging during peak hours. There was only one person behind the counter. She was very nice and had things under control. I was concerned because there were no beignets in the glass case with the pastries, but she explained they make them fresh to order and they take about ten minutes. Each order consists of 10 small beignets. While I was waiting I ordered a pumpkin chocolate chip scone. The woman behind the counter (should have got her name) was kind enough to give me an extra scone for free. It was sweet and delicious. I waited until I got home to try the beignets (okay I had one in the car). They came with a little container of caramel for dipping. Yum, so good. They are very light and rolled in sugar. Lawson's Bakery also has coffee and savory items like breakfast burritos, veggie quiche, grilled artichokes, and more. Their sweets include cakes, cupcakes, cheesecake bars, bread pudding, scones, lemon bars, and much more. It's a cute bakery with indoor and outdoor seating. If I lived in Morgan Hill I would be there often.

    Breakfast burrito with cocktail

    *** Stellar Gem *** I was actually jealous of the staff. Charlie switched off with the employee on their breaks eating the food. I wish I could eat like that daily. They are so lucky. My most searched food item is breakfast burrito. I am usually disappointed when I do order them but not this time. It was delicious to the point that we needed to go order another (2nd time was veggie burrito). The pancakes were perfectly fluffy with a nice crispy texture. Would have ordered more but didn't want to overeat. The veggie burrito had elevated tasting veggies in it. Definitely tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, egg whites, etc. Housemade salsa was in containers at the front. It is brilliant because you don't have people filling a small plastic container only to make a mess. Grab what you need. I was bummed that we didn't get to pick up some burnt almond cake on the way back. Bread pudding and beignets looked tempting but only one stomach. Too many sweets during the holidays. Definitely recommend for food with elevated flavors.

    We have been wanting to check out Lawson's Bakery 's new location ever since they moved there months ago. The new location is in a nice area off Monterey Road in Morgan Hill infront of a new townhomes area. Parking is accessible either in the small parking lot or street parking. There are plenty of outdoor tables and a few picnic tables in the nice patio area. The bakery looks inviting and nice inside. Simple modern decor with a few tables available for dine in. The staff was friendly and accommodating. There are displays of some delectable pastries and baked goods in the front counter area. We ordered fried mac and cheese bites, chicken wings, the wedge salad, the honey bee cocktail and a Chardonnay glass. The food was delicious and flavorful. Our drinks were refreshing. Everything was priced modestly reasonable. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Lawson's Bakery. We will be back soon to try their pastries, other appetizers and other drinks.

    Cherry Greek Yogurt Danish

    They relocated to a corner spot around the new neighborhood. Plenty of seating outside and inside. The workers were very nice as well. I haven't tried the coffee yet but the pastries are so good! I got the butterscotch cheesecake bar before and it's so sweet but sooooo good. This time I got the cherry greek yogurt danish and was pleasantly surprised! I typically don't like anything with cherries but I was a fan of this.

    Cute little bakery/eatery in Morgan Hill hidden in a residential area. I got a breakfast burrito with bacon. It was a pretty good sized burrito. The only thing I was disappointed in was the fact it didnt seem to have a lot of bacon despite the fact I asked for all bacon and no sausage. It was pretty much filled with egg which was still good, but made me a little sick after a while. 3/4 through, I deconstructed it and ate the potato and bacon bits.

    Burnt almond cake
    Lisa W.

    Burnt almond cake! Been on a burnt almond cake kick. This place is bomb. I know "the king" of burnt almond is Peter's bakery in San Jose, and to be honest it wasn't the best I tried. It was good but it wasn't the best. Lawsons cakes, they tell you that you have to leave the cake out for at least 2 hours, and to be honest we left out the whole day and that's when it tasted the best! We did the 2 hour and the frosting was still too cold and didn't stick to the cake, but when we did the whole day it was perfect. The cake also was super fluffy and moist and not at all dry. The frosting and almonds... excellent. For a traditional burnt almond, this one was great! I honestly like it better than Peter's Bakery.

    Some of the amazing events the business organizes

Fortunately, they had a table for us. Upon our arrival, I was very pleased with the restaurant's ambiance, which featured unique art designs at the entrance. The host, Cristina, welcomed us warmly and guided us to our seats by a large window. We were promptly attended to by both Cristina and Melanie, who provided us with the menu and shared some background about Vera. The dining area was bright, clean, and spacious, and the menu was simple and easy to read. I ordered a glass of Sarah's Vineyard Pinot Noir, while my daughter chose a Winter Four drink. Our meals arrived promptly. I enjoyed the Yuku Salmon Bowl, which was delightful and refreshingly fresh--I cleaned my plate! My daughter had the appetizing Ahi Tuna & Saba Noodle Bowl. We concluded our meal with Profiteroles, which were bite-sized caramelized puff pastries with the perfect amount of sweetness. Complimentary, custom-made flower arrangements were beautifully crafted by Dani, who helped make our dining experience at Vera memorable. I would like to give compliments and a shout-out to Cristina, Melanie, and Dani for their excellent service. Overall, I highly recommend Vera Restaurant as a must-visit eatery. My daughter and I truly enjoyed the peaceful ambiance and, most importantly, the excellent food!

Very nice ambiance and interior, especially with the art gallery.

When you charge as much as they do for 3 tiny tacos, the food should be hot! The tacos tasted good but would have been better hot. I also think 4 tacos would be fair for the price they charge for 3.

Although the nachos weren't bad, I'm not wild about fusion nachos. I didn't believe the tandoori flavor paired well in nachos. But it wasn't bad. Just not my thing. For drinks, we ordered the Palomas. This was my first time having a Paloma, and I am a fan. It was perfectly refreshing and not too strong, but not too weak. I was actually really hoping to walk over here often to watch the Kings games since I can't get those games on my YT TV, as they are not local. But they told me they don't have the "sports" channels beyond the local teams. Bummer! You'd think with big TVs they would. The large TVs make the place feel like a great place to watch the games. But they are limited. I'd easily give them 5 stars if they had the sports channels. But I will be back! The bartender was very friendly. She told me about karaoke night next Thurs. I'm so there!

We started with Sangria (both red and white) and tho I like the white a bit more, both are really good. We also had the "a little bit of both" share charcuterie, and that was much more than expected! Not fancy, but 2 cheeses, 2 meats, assorted nuts, olives (have pits be safe!) and grapes with a few slices of a nice crusty bread and these really good large cracker type bread that was just perfect to have with our sangrias. We sat outside while a great local band played, the heaters were perfectly warm, nice string lights, and a good atmosphere. We also ordered a coffee and a beer later on, but I forget what kind of beer. Was good, I just don't recall the beer or ale. Staff was pretty attentive most of the time. The reason for not 5 stars: while I was in the industry for almost 50 years, our server seemed to get bored with us at some point and we had to flag her down. It was busy so I understand but the attitude changed a bit. Also, we wanted an item on the menu from The website and it wasn't available as the website wasn't updated. Minor issue, but the server seemed annoyed. Next time I keep the menus so that doesn't happen again. Still, totally worth the visit and since I live in the area now I would love to become a regular! Next time I want to try the flatbread

I only took one star off because the restaurant experience leaves a little to be desired like we don't necessarily love it enough to come back but it was definitely a nice experience overall. :) The #1 memorable thing about our experience was the delicious pasta :D but everything else was pretty standard. Still I would definitely recommend for a date night, small get together, and/or a quiet business meeting (since I noticed a few going on at the time lol.)
