I've never had so many great, gluten free options. Everything was fantastic and super fresh. My husband, who thinks everything gluten free tastes like sand, was impressed. Nece and staff were lovely and we really enjoyed dining in. Highly recommend. read more

Gluten free shouldn't be this good. Came by twice for the sconewiches which are very good. Staff and owner are very nice and the store itself is nice and quaint to sit in. read more

This bakery is outstanding! Everything is great! The staff is super friendly and helpful since there are so many great choices! The lemon bars and brownies are my favorite so far. Oh the vegan bread that I had with my sandwich today was fantastic! Their matcha green tea is yummy too. They have a lot of holiday special items now which are perfect for hosting your parties! I am always happy when I arrive and so satisfied when I leave. Thank you! read more

Absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!! Truly THE BEST gluten free baked goods we've ever had!! The cinnamon rolls, cookies and scones were all delicious. The cakes looked gorgeous but we were traveling so had to pass sadly. Sweet and savory are both fantastic. Don't pass up the sandwich rolls for taking home. They are so good! I didn't think I would ever say that about GF sandwich rolls (IYKYK) but these are real bread! We don't live n the area so stocked up to freeze when we got home. Everything froze perfectly and didn't lose any flavor or texture. Thank you so much for making such an outstanding product with so much love!! read more

Yum!! Today I got their cinnamon roll and it was SO delicious! If you're gluten free and have been craving sweets, you've gotta check this place out. I think gluten eaters would also be in love with their treats. They're very nice people too! read more

This place is heaven on earth for celiacs! I live about 150 miles away but whenever I'm in the Monterey area a visit to Nece's is priority on my agenda. First, the shop is super cute and very nicely kept, clean, bright and open. Second the owners are so nice! I always feel welcome and appreciated at Nece's. Last and most importantly, the baked good and sandwiches are AMAZING! I've had celiac for more than twenty years (probably all my life but didn't know it) and I've gone to gluten free bakeries in the Bay Area which are good, but not nearly as high quality as Nece's. The breads and baked goods are freshly made to perfection. I recently had a pastrami sandwich. It was delicious. All of the ingredients were fresh and the sandwich was served hot! I recommend this place to everyone I meet around the globe. Even if you are not celiac or gluten sensitive, this is a must visit if you are going to, passing by, or in the Monterey area. read more

Nece's GF - Hot pastrami sandwich - Gluten-Free Near Me - Monterey, California

This place was a wonderful find! Since I have Celiac, taking a picnic lunch somewhere takes a lot of preparation, but with this gem of a place I could take my lunch on the go and visit the aquarium without having to worry! Good coffee. Good cookies. Good sandwiches!! I even bought a loaf to go! read more

My sister turned me on to Nece's a few years ago. She's a local, and we live in SoCal. She brought down some of Nece's GF brownies, and MAN, oh MAN, are they delicious, as well as HUGE!! My husband and I were visiting my sister up north this past week, and we stopped in to buy some brownies for dessert. We just might have also bought a half-dozen chocolate cupakes with buttercream frosting and a lemon bar to share with our family!! The cupcakes are dense and and not-too-sweet; the frosting adds the sweetness! Amazing! The lemon bars are also to-die for! The filling is a perfect combo of sweet/sour, and the crust tastes just like a shortbread cookie! Absolutely delicious!! If you're counting calories, do yourself a favor and avoid Nece's! LOL! HIGHLY recommend! Plus, Nece is adorable! :) read more

These are THE BEST gluten free baked goods I've ever had. I was just passing through on a trip and was so excited to find a bakery specializing in gluten free AND vegan options. I can't stop thinking about them months later, I even called them to see if they would ship to Los Angeles. Simply divine!!! read more

We ran across this great dedicated gluten free bakery in Monterey. The owner and her co-worker were so sweet and excited to be there. The coffee cake was so good you wouldn't guess it was gluten free. The scone egg sandwich with bacon was super yummy too! They were so nice trading banking secrets with my husband. I will definitely make them my go to stop whenever we're near b read more

You guyssss, this is too much . Sweet little family with their boys working behind the counter . Let's give our money to what's important . The staff (not just the boys, ie beyond warm and friendly ) and the food ... IS BETTER than the cookies with the gluten , you won't miss the gluten I promise read more

This spot is a local gem! Loved my first ever "sconewich" with fried egg and turkey sausage. Lots of vegan and veggie options. We were pleasantly served by co-owners and their son. Great coffee too.

Listen guys, any opportunity for me to support a woman-owned, black-owned business is an automatic win for me This place is absolutely wonderful, and makes the perfect addition to town that you didn't know you needed. From the ambiance, to the customer service, everything was perfect. You can't tell that any of their baked treats are gluten free-- and I mean that wholeheartedly. The coffee crumble muffin is insanely good and it's huge! The cinnamon roll is also so so good and reminds me of Cinnabon, which is special to me since I can't enjoy that anymore! :-( Some gluten free bakeries are hit or miss, this one hits the spot for sure!! read more

Oh man...where to start. This is such a beautiful family with an incredible story of starting in the tiny kitchen of their apartment and selling at farmer's markets and distributing to local stores. I'm not Gluten Intolerant...but I happily devour Nece's baked goods because they are incredible. The chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles and cinnamon rolls...OMG THE CINNAMON ROLLS! ...they are just sooooo good! And now they have their own location! I got a double espresso that grew some hair on my chest. And a poppy seed muffin that left me wanting more and more...i also got a whole chocolate cake! Check them out and congratulate them on such a wonderful achievement! read more

Made a delicious and fancy cake for my retirement. It tasted as good as any cake make with gluten. Thank you.

Pastries very good. Service good. Made to order breakfast sandwich creative and well prepared.

Loved this places GF paninis! The bread was great and i loved that they included dairy free and vegan options since a lot of gf ppl are also df/vegan.

A very cute bakery with food that tastes even better then it looks. We had tasty waffles, which where crunchy on the outside and so soft on the inside. The lemon drizzle scone was crumbly delicious. We also had a blueberry muffin and the chocolate chip pumpkin spice muffin and both where fall apart in you mouth delicious. Oh, with this we also had the tea, which was also really good and they even refilled the little tea pots halfway through. We devoured a chocolate mini cake there too, which was as beautiful and tasted Divine. Excellent food, friendly service. Will be back. Nice to have gluten free food that's so good I can't tell the difference. read more

I've tried their lemon poppyseed muffin, a sconewich, shortbread, cinnamon roll, and blueberry scone. They're all divine and are better than pastries with gluten. The coffee is amazing too!

Such a quaint little bakery, Nece's has some of the best pastries I've ever had! As a pastry chef myself, I'm very impressed! Can't even tell they are gluten free! I bought one of everything and there was not one thing I didn't love. I've been on a gluten free diet for the past few years and always have trouble finding gf food I actually enjoy! First time I could eat all my favorite things I've had to push to the side for so long. I will be stopping in any time I come to Monterey. read more

I just finished eating most (because they are huge!) of a gf poppyseed muffin made by Nece's Bakery, which I picked up at the excellent ACME coffee location in Seaside. Usually, the gf coffee cake muffin is my choice but the poppyseed muffin did not disappoint! Great texture and flavor. Probably the most delicious gf baked goods I've tasted over 20 years of being gf. read more

Highly recommend this place. Small bakery shop, very nice and clean. Service was great. There is outdoor seating as well
