    breakfast Maple-Bacon Sconewich
    Ashley W.

    Ok I genuinely can't believe how amazing this breakfast sandwich was! it's on a maple bacon scone with egg, turkey sausage and cheese. DELICIOUS! I personally liked this breakfast sandwich more than their regular lunch sandwiches/paninis. I also LOVE their gluten free brownies, especially the one with walnuts . BEST brownies in town, hands down, and can't believe they are GF!

    Dozens of goodies to choose from

    Hands down not just the best bakery ever !!! Everything is gluten free. You would never know. These guys really figured it out. The Ham and Cheese roll is unbelievable. I recommend one of everything!!! Great Vegan options as well.

    Amazing treats that are all gluten free!!! We had the most amazing delicious breakfast sandwich...jalapeno cheese scone with cooked cheese, bacon, spinach, egg, avocado. You pick your scone and then can add goodies. We had the perfect combination! So so delicious.

    Thankful to have found this place on our trip to Monterey. Sandwiches were . Cookies were freshly baked and almost crumbles in yours hand. Will 100% be returning here for their sandwiches and treats.

    CLOSED SUNDAYS!!!!! I was *devastated* to see this. Arrived on Friday and planned to get a GF cinnamon roll from here before leaving Sunday, not realizing it is only open Tuesday thru Saturday wahhhhhhhhh. But I was able to get a Nece's chocolate chip muffin at Captain & Stoker in town, and it was delish. Great texture, super big, very enjoyable. I hope I can come back for a gf cinnamon roll someday as I feel like those are hard to come by.

    I love this place so much I could cry! Having gluten and dairy free dietary restrictions and a love for pastries does not always go hand in hand, but I genuinely could not tell the difference at Nece's GF. (My boyfriend, who is not gluten free, also agrees.) The staff was confidently able to recommend me options that were dairy free, on top of everything already being gluten free. It was such a relaxing and fun experience being able to choose from a variety of muffins, brownies, cookies, and cakes without the worry of feeling sick afterwards. My personal favorites were the maple scone and the brownie with sea salt. These were hands down the best gluten and dairy free pastries I've ever had, and I will most definitely be back. Thank you so much Nece's I love you!!

    And Nece (the founder) also makes extraordinarily artistic GF cakes, with real flowers water-falling as pictured, etc! I'm not sure what more I can really add to what's already been said about the world's best entirely gluten-free bakery. I wasn't aware I had celiacs (the asymptomatic kind, which is more common than commonly understood) until recently. So I can compare Nece's with many of the world's other great bakeries in both the US and Europe (where I lived for ~dozen years) that I've experienced. Nece's is right up there with the very best non-GF bakeries too.

    Cheddar jalapeño scone AKA The Scone of My Dreams

    If you're looking for the scone of your dreams, it lives here. Nece's is amazing! I visit Monterey maybe once a year, and I make it a point to get my gluten free baking fix at least once while I'm in town. The cheddar jalapeño scone is to die for - tender and bouncy and just the right amount of cheese and peppers. How do they even do this?? I guess lots of people are in the know, though, because they mostly sell out before 10am. So get there early! The muffins are perfectly textured too- none of the gritty or mushy feel you get with so many gluten free baked goods - just tender crumb in lots of flavors. I tried the sugar cookie and the salt pretzel this time around too. The cookie had a delicious buttery flavor and was soft but not overly crumbly- the closest I've seen to what I remember of a traditional sugar cookie. The salt pretzel was really hard until I microwaved it for 30 seconds, then it softened up really nicely. Listen, if you're gluten free, just go there. You will not be sorry.

    Breakfast sconewich with the cheddar scone
    Hannah G.

    Wow...I am amazed at just how good this place is. I got the breakfast sconewich with the cheddar scone, bacon, and avocado. The cheddar scone was SO buttery and moist I could have cried at how delicious it was. All of the baked goods looked amazing but besides the sconewich, I only got some cookies (also delicious). If you're GF, this place is an absolute must!

    Sconewich!  Amazing!!
    D_William S.

    Still an amazing gluten free bakery. If you're in Monterey this is a must visit for delicious GF scones, muffins, pies, sandwiches and more. Say "hello" to Sharquay and her bakers-helpers... they are a very friendly family-owned business. We have celiac's in our family and everything is truly Gluten free, celiac safe

    Gluten free turkey panini
    Margaret O.

    Rarely leave reviews, but the food was so good I had to. Didn't think gluten free bread could be this delicious, was the perfect sandwich. The service is amazing, the women working here are so friendly and nice. Very pleased and worth the price !

    Do you ship in California?

    Yes. We have a limited menu of products we ship!

    Can you get a breakfast sandwich on a plain scone?

    We make cheddar scones daily for breakfast sandwiches. That's the closest thing to "plain" that we do!

    How much are the breakfast and lunch sandwiches? Have had almost all of your pastries and they're yummy, but never had a sandwich?

    Our breakfast sconewiches are around $8 and our panini pressed sandwiches are $16!

First of all, this is a historic bakery in a landmark building in downtown Monterey. As I approached, there was a short line on a Friday around 11 am. After a short wait, I reached the counter and scanned the pastry selection before picking several, asking the kind lady to pack them in two boxes and I brought a couple items back for a friend. After my purchase, I walked to the back area and noticed an outdoor dining area (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=ykERHL4g-pQklkgNQ0Vrsg) besides the counter area (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=-ieBhqZ5feBuptEl0S_sNw) and a small dining room inside (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=TD9doolFBh0oHc9lES_1eQ) (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=95x2W27l2Ab0PGph3FmdhQ). With meals scheduled for the rest of the day, I didn't start on anything until the next morning with the donut (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=0MJJ8kT57A1DTm3XZQFJXQ) for breakfast. It was interesting with the colorful topping; I did not ask the flavor but guessing it was raspberry. It was okay as I like my donuts a little less cakey. The next item that I tried was the blondie (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=XJNQw54ud1nxci3EZF5DXw); I really enjoyed this for dessert a few days later at home. It's been awhile so I really enjoyed this as there was plenty of chocolate pieces to contrast with the dough flavor. Next, I tried the carrot cake cookie (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=96&select=WYgw9_utf096q83PjynR8g) which I enjoyed as it wasn't overly rich. I was only okay with the almond financier (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=rC2OVgro1o-vIE2rVCNqtg) as the flavors sounded more interesting than they were. I enjoyed the chocolate buckwheat cookie (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=P6gb3w4hu0CRRQBOPc46jQ) which was very chocolatey. The line was about six deep when I arrived but it moved quickly. The order taker and cashier are efficient. There is coffee and other beverages available as well as meal items and wine and beer after 11 am (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=144&select=6Utt7H0U46KbXamwZoiwrQ). I will return and perhaps have lunch here on another visit. Nice to see more historic places especially for a bakery aptly named.

This was good but a bit underwhelming as I felt there wasn't enough cheese nor garlic. Mostly bread. We got a small size Half Heirloom Half Heritage deep dish pizza. I love they you can do half flavors here! This deep dish was soooo saucy and cheesy with a light yet crispy crust that was easy to bite through. Each bite had a crazy cheese pull. My favorite was the Heirloom because I enjoyed the veggies in the pizza, but my boyfriend liked the heritage more (tons of meat). Keep in mind that if you don't like tomatoes, this pizza is probably not for you because the tomato sauce is much thicker than a thin crust pizza. We got here at around 7PM on a Saturday. Beware that the deep dish takes a minimum of about 30 minutes to come out. Ours took 40 minutes. I wish the server told us this to warn us, as I overheard this from nearby customers who were complaining about the wait. The place is quite casual with both indoor and outdoor seating. Overall: 4.4/5

We ordered the Schooners Seafood Tower, although "tower" is being a little generous lol. It's more of a seafood platter served over ice with oysters, shrimp, crab, mussels and tuna poke. Everything was fresh and the presentation was nice. Is it some huge over-the-top seafood tower??? Nooooo lol, but this also isn't that kind of restaurant and I wasn't expecting it to be. The tuna poke was probably my least favorite. It wasn't BAD, it just didn't do much for me and I've definitely had better. Now the Big Little Lies cocktail...that was another story!!! Delicious and I would absolutely order that again. We only stopped in for appetizers and a few drinks, so I can't really judge the entire menu without coming back for an actual dinner. Location, atmosphere and service get the 4 stars from me. The food? Jury is still out...looks like I'll have to go back and eat some more. Tough job, but somebody has to do it! ;)
