Gayle's Bakery & Rosticceria

I can't recall how many years I've been getting a princess cake for my birthday and every other fun occasions. It's just incredibly delicious! Gayle's offers a lovely selection of pastries and lunch/dinner items, and everything is so tasty. I am so grateful to have Gayle's as part of our community! Thank you for making life sweeter!

Epic scale in a deceptively small space. Easy to plot out a five-course meal just wandering up & down the service counter - hot food, cold food, & bakery sections with almost everything on display (and fresh bread behind it all on high shelves). BUT also a "grab'n'go" wall fridge full of salads, sandwiches, treats. If you want to dine in with a group, (1) definitely claim table space before you take a number, (2) be ready to order by the time your number is called. We came in for lunch on Vet

The best bakery in the Santa Cruz area! It's been a family favorite and tradition since I was a baby, and have been continuing to go as an adult when visiting friends and family. Food options and quality, service, and quaint ambience/atmosphere is outstanding. Wide variety of fresh, real, and organic options! They have a covered patio area with additional seating as well. Favorite bakery items- kouign-amann, fruit tarts, and the swedish princess cake. The latter was made for one of my birthday

A long time favorite in my old hood. I remember working here as a teenager and the food is just as good now as it was then. My son very much enjoyed the chicken wings and I had a delicious twice baked potato. For dessert we brought home some Christmas cookies and a slice of the gluten free snowflake cake which was amazing. Will be back.

i heard the princess cake here is great, so i came here in the evening. this feels like a half-delihalf-bakery. the deli side had a good selection of hot & cold foods but i didn't get anything. the bakery side also has a good selection, with seasonal items. i got a cake from the deli fridge & ordered a green tea. i didn't realise that i would receive a paper cup to get hot water & put a teabag in. the drink was a good conplement for the cake i got but i wouldn't pay again to have a cup of tea i
