    Lemon meringue danish
    Natalie A.

    This pastry was a 10/10 had to fight my husband for it. I would eat every day if I could.

    Bacon egg spinach w/toast

    This is definitely one of the breakfast spots in Aptos, it was moderately busy in the morning with a nice family vibe Service was great and food was great, the bacon topped quiche with spinach was fantastic and fluffy, stop by if you can!

    Ham and Gruyere Croissant (front), Salami Mozzarella sandwich (back)

    I got their Matcha latte with Rose and Cardamom syrup and my husband got an Iced Mocha. Loved the mocha, I regretted not getting a hot one for myself. They are super popular and despite long lines at 9 o'clock in the morning, their service was quick. Really good baked goods as well, their Ham and Gruyere croissant was flaky and fresh and Salami Mozzarella sandwich was very easy to bite into and packed with flavors. It was a beautiful morning and the outside seating made it even better.

    Cinnamon roll.
    Jeni Z.

    Don't ask for your cinnamon roll to be warmed up, it's not allowed bc the frosting falls off. Even with the disclaimer, they wouldn't do it. So dumb. I should have got something else.

    Cute place with lots of yummy options, including for vegans. I love, love their vegan coffee cake!

    Located in a nice little Plaza in Aptos. Funny bec i thought they were closed at 3p based on yelp, however, i saw a head move, from where we were parked, which was a good 25 steps at least so we made a dash. The shop was cute! As you can see from the pics, they had other cute items besides baked goods. Very clean. Pleasant service. I would have to come back here again to try other items. We can say, the chocolate cookie was very yummy, then the brownie. The GF blueberry sconce was a hit, too. The banana bread slice was just ok. We also got a whole loaf of GF bread, however it was hard as a rock and wasn't really tasty. I even warmed it a little but didnot really help the texture. Overall, it was a good experience and will def be back!

    Stopped in the morning before a beach walk with a dog ordered a cranberry almond tea cake. It's excellent big huge almonds, big huge cranberries unlike anyone I've ever had before. Also ordered an 8 ounce maple latte. Two shots of espresso made to perfection. Service was great you can see by the picturethe time she took to make my drink it's gorgeous ambience is OK. They have this big door at the front. I'm sure it's great in the summer but freezing in the winter.

    Great avocado toast
    Amelia M.

    We had a great experience at Companion Bakeshop in Aptos! Everyone was very friendly, the shop was super charming and the food & drink was superb. I had fantastic avocado toast and an unsweetened "Golden Milk" with tumeric and black pepper. So creamy! We also had a soft, moist, fluffy lemon berry scone and a devine lemon black tea shortbread cookie. They have great local gifts for sale here too, including fancy caramels, kitchen goods, mugs, water bottles and T-shirts.

    Gayle's has some of my favorite things made of sugar and butter on the menu: quiches, key lime…read morepies, biscuits, tarts, and cookies. So many things looked good. I was pretty restrained. I got a number from the ticket machine. Holiday weekend, so bit of a wait but I think the system worked well. I am curious why it took so long since we had a dedicated worker bagging our stuff. But good things come to those who wait: Garlic twist. 5/5. Would get this again. Simple but amazing taste and texture. Could eat all day. Quiche. 4/5. Not the best quiche I've had ever had but solid. I appreciated it being on the small side since I had so many other things to try. I got tomato and spinach and wish the tomato taste came through a bit more. Would get again. Key lime pie. 4/5. Tasted fresh and had a smooth texture with the right amount of tartness. Strawberry shortcake cookie. 4/5. Like a soft scone. More intense strawberry flavor than expected. Banana tart. 4/5. Could be stronger banana flavor. Maybe if they brûléed a banana on it. Good crust texture. Impressive how everything I tried tasted good considering their extensive menu. Will try the masala chicken salad sandwich, cheddar biscuit, and chive scone next time. I loved how it was old school, well priced, well portioned, and not too precious. Staff make themselves available. There are first come first served tables to nab. Parking spots were not as easy to get when arriving but if you go straight for neighborhood parking you'll find something.

    Was visiting family and wanted to buy a little something as a gift…read more Called Gayle's the morning of and ordered 4 of their pastries. The process was quick and easy. The menu is available online and they take same day orders via phone. Pickup was a little hectic as there were a lot of people in the bakery. I waited in line for a ticket and then waited for my number to be called, but found out that I could have just walked to the end of the bakery to pickup at the counter in the corner. I would probably add a sign to make it a little more obvious for those new to the bakery, nonetheless the pastries were amazing and nothing else matters. Everything was sweet but balanced with acidity or nuttiness. Great mix of textures and the crust does not fall apart even after a whole day in the fridge and being manhandled into cut portions. I'd highly recommend this place for out-of-towners, as those that live there already know it's the best.

    I found Veronica from Yelp and she did a good job for my wedding cake! She's able to incorporate…read moredifferent ideas from me over the time and created this elegant blush color with white flower cake within my budget! Raspberry lemon is a good choice, very refreshing for a summer day. Only thing I would wished is maybe a little more flower around each side of the cake, not just the front. :) Anyway, Recommended!

    Veronica made my wedding cake in June 2010…read more She met with my now husband and I in the late winter 2009. We met in a coffee shop in Capitola and she brought an assortment of samples including but not limited to; red velvet, limoncello, chocolate with caramel cream, passion fruit, something with raspberry and there may have been one more. They were awesome! Before meeting veronica I had been on at least 3 cake tastings but none of them even compared to hers! The Lemoncello was wonderful. Soaked lemon cake with a lemon filling, yum. The red velvet was moist and rich and perfect. The chocolate wasn't overly sweet, and was full of flavor and it was the perfect texture. A few bites in and my mind was made up. During the tasting she was friendly and easy to work with. I knew Veronica was a perfect fit. She could make my cake x10 with the pictures she showed us she could make far more intricate cakes than I was requesting.The cake fed just over 100 people. I paid around $700 for the cake, the cake stand rental, flower placement and delivery ($100 since my venue was about an hour away). Day of I didn't get a chance to see Veronica but she worked with my Mom and my Mom said she was prompt, easy to work with and very friendly. Overall easy to work with, delicious and beautiful wedding cake at a reasonable price. =) Thanks Veronica for making my wedding day taste and look great!
