Gordy's Bakery and Coffeehouse

For our coffee date, I took my wife to Gordy's Bakery and Coffeehouse in Encinitas. Our date was on New Year's Day, so I called the Coffeehouse to ask when is closing. We arrived 50 minutes before closing. As usual, I ordered a house coffee. The wait staff said, "I am closing, and I don't have coffee." This was odd. It seemed too early to start closing. My wife's coffee drink was okay. The Coffeehouse offers indoor and outdoor seating. The ambiance of the Coffeehouse is colorful with interesting posters. Though, I did not partake in any of the pastries, they looked yummy.

This place is really a bummer, service was nice, (dont come if you’re in a rush to work though) prices used to match the quality, def not worth what you pay for anymore
so much hair in the quiche I got, honestly I tried to just cut out the first section I found it in but then I found more in the rest💔

The girl who took my order was super sweet and I appreciated her. But the cost for what I got was incredibly disappointing. I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte and it was over 8$. It was an ok latte, very heavy on the milk. I also got a breakfast burrito- it was this flimsy, tiny thing that wasn’t fresh and didn’t taste good at all. That was over 11 dollars alone. My bill for a coffee and a crummy burrito was just shy of 20$. Way too overpriced. I will not be going back.

Was ok not as good as I hoped for - counter person was super nice - empanada was not worthy - food needs to be warmed up for best flavor which takes a long time - not enough inside empanada to get a good taste sry

Really unique drink options on the menu, and big selection of baked goods. Lots of gluten free options too, which is hard to find such a variety in a bakery

Great selection of baked goods and sandwiches. The staff is equally awesome. Great spot for breakfast or lunch.

My husband brought back what were to be"freshly" baked scones. They were not. No crunchy crust. Terrible.

Absolute SMACKIN delicious canoli pastry. Ordered a cortado and it was properly to taste. The guy was really chill with my order and was friendly to talk too. I wanted an Arnold palmer for my friend but they didn't have any lemon or lemonaid. ??
Didn't matter though cuz my friend still really liked the passionfruit tea that I substituted for since i was was picking up for them. Great place. Great vibe. I'll come back when im in the area.?

What a treasure of a spot. The owner is as nice as can be. We bought a little of everything and it was all delicious. He has a bunch of super cool posters on the walls. Don’t miss out on this epic bakery.

Every pastry looks absolutely delicious it's so hard to choose! We got a ham and cheese quiche and a sausage empanada and both were wonderful. They have a variety of drink options too. Combine their delicious food with quality service and a friendly, welcoming environment and you get Gordys! We'll for sure be back soon!

Not sure what happened - we went in thinking the place looked cute and the bakery section looked great; should have been a good experience, right? We were out of town visitors and this spoiled our Encinitas experience. The owner or one of the owners served our pasty and made our iced ube latte. This was not quality espresso drink. It was terrible. It only tasted like milk NO ube flavor came through, no rich espresso either. The espresso was not made correctly. The pastries were over $5, and the drinks over $7. What a complete waste of our time, because we had to wait a while (the woman seemed confused the whole time), and a waste of our money around $30 for two drinks and two small okay pastries.

I cannot recommend this cafe based off my visit. I am sorry, but the drinks were not correctly made with the espresso machine.

It’s unacceptable to be served by a person who is incapable of making the menus “specialty sips.” She just did not know what she was doing and made us wait 5-7min too long.
