The bakery's name lured me in, and the breakfast sandwiches bring me back. I love their liege waffle sandwiches, which are only available on Sundays. Their croissant sandwich is also delicious. I love the lemon curd cruffin, and it is huge! They also have a wonderful cinnamon roll. I've only had the original, but the variations look amazing. read more

OMG Becky! We like all their big buns and we cannot lie they are all pretty great! When walking into the shop you are met with a beautiful case. Golden outside of all the pastries with some color here and there displaying additional flavors of blueberry, ube, lemon...... freaking A man. I was overwhelmed and the lady in front was patient and helpful. I grabbed a sausage roll for myself. I grabbed a box of treats for my team. Which I did have a sampling of as well. Their chocolate chip cookie was so good! Has that chew we all like. The team had nothing but positive feedback as well. I cannot wait to come Back read more

Came on a Saturday noon, and it was not too busy. All the pastries were laid out for you to see and they all looked super yummy. The store is small and there's no seating. The pastries are definitely on the higher-priced side and we weren't too hungry, so we opted for the strawberry croissant since it was the last one left. I was hoping to try their cinnamon roll, as it looked amazing and had a selection of flavors to pick from. The lady who helped us was friendly and packed the croissant for me, and we took it to go. The strawberry croissant had some vanilla cream along with strawberry slices in the center cut of the croissant. The cream was nice, light, and not overly sweet, which tasted great with the strawberry. The croissant was a little disappointing, as it wasn't flaky, very dense, and on the softer side. It still had a good buttery flavor but overall it was mid. As we continued eating, I ended up chewing on something plasticky, and I believe it might have been the front cut of a plastic piping bag. I'm glad it was a fairly small piece or else I probably would have swallowed it...It is disappointing that a big piece of plastic ended up in the cream where no one had caught it during the process of making it. read more

How have I not written a review yet? I think this is my favorite bakery for pastries. I was first introduced to it through a Yelp event otherwise I'm not sure I would have known about it and it deserves all the kudos. It's in a strip mall that has a few dining options so this makes it a perfect breakfast and lunchtime treat. They are only open until 2, I believe so make sure you go on the earlier side. I have had a croissant sandwich which was so good and many pastries since that event. My favorite and the one I keep coming back to is the lemon curd cruffin. A croissant muffin combination which is so crispy flakey and delicious. The staff is always nice and answers my questions. Parking is easy. There a few tables outside shared with the Mexican and Japanese restaurants next door. read more

We need more places like this! First time stopping by GM's brick and mortar shop vs buying from them at the farmers market, and let me just say, this place is a gem - everything from the store itself to its people! Cinnamon roll - best Ive had out of all the ones I've had in CA and AZ. They do not cut corners and even use brown butter for their cinnamon sugar filling! Cruffins - fun to look at and fun to eat; can't go wrong with any of them! Cookies - white chocolate macadamia nut, chocolate chip, gluten-less chocolate cookies ... now these are cookies! If I had to bet, I'm pretty sure they weigh as much or even more than the famous NY Levain cookies. Strawberry and cream croissant - croissant stuffed with whipped cream and slices of fresh strawberrh; do yourself a favor and just try this! With so many goods to choose from, it may be easy to pass this one up, but don't! It'll give you those napoleon and cream puff vibes. read more

Glutenus Maximus Bakehouse - Ham and cheese croissant and strawberry and creams croissant. Both amazing! Highly recommend the strawberry one! - Bakeries Near Me - Vista, California

The good: I tried a coffee, pecan pie croissant with bourbon whipped cream, a milk and cookies croissant muffin (a.k.a. cruffin), and a croissant donut (a.k.a. cronut). I liked the flavor options and the display case. The bourbon whipped cream was light and tasty. I do think croissant versions of everything are great because you cannot argue with pastry layers and more butter. The bad: The pastries tasted a day old. It wasn't as flaky or fresh. I did come on a Monday morning. It was super cold inside. The donut was greasy and a bit heavier than I expected. There is no indoor seating. The outdoor seating area is mixed with the next door business and a lot of the lawn chairs were ripped or about to rip. I think the croissant muffin had too much frosting. The interesting: They sell gift cards online and offer catering packages. read more

The name is pun, the pun is a butt joke, and when you visit their website, you'll see that the cursor turns into a croissant. If that's not enough reasons to enjoy their pastries, they are legitimately excellent bakers. The Milk & Cookies Cruffin is quite decadent, and I love all the layers. Same for the Butterscotch Pecan Sticky Bun, a gooey brick of a pastry, perfect for your morning coffee. The Ham and Cheese Croissant is solid, the Blueberry Muffin is good, and the Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie is a crowd-pleaser. Really fun, would absolutely recommend! read more

Yum! Finally made it back after an event here when they first open. Not much of a pastry person but my friend was in town and I wanted to impress her. I got 6 pastries, all around $6-7 each. I got a Nutella cruffin, lemon cruffin, glazed cronut, almond croissant, cinnamon roll and a bread pudding. We tried every thing except the bread pudding, we froze it for later. But the best was the lemon curd cruffin. A very good tartness. The Nutella one was super rich. Their croissant was delicious. Nice and crunchy, pretty big too. And if you love cinnamon rolls, theirs is so delicious. Very good with your coffee. Pastries were all massive, and well worth the price! Everything was there when I came in the morning. read more

- plaza parking, plenty of pastries available at 11am on a Saturday! Grab and go spot with no seating inside - each looked so delicious and there was so much variety - we chose the sausage roll (heated up for us) and snickers cruffin with the help of the staff - the sausage roll was yummy but standard so I wouldn't get it again, that mustard it came with was a great addition though! - loved the cruffin! It's filled with a whipped peanut butter and caramel sauce and has a chocolate shell to provide some crunch read more

I would go out of my way, just to come to this bakery. If you love baked goods like I do, you gotta stop by! Not only is the name clever and cute, their pastries are not just IG picture good, they taste really good! It's a clean shop that is well organized. Everyone is super nice and helpful. My favorite was the Strawberry Shortcake Croissant. The crème was light and not too sweet. The strawberries were sweet with a little tanginess. The croissant was crispy on top and soft on the middle. I ate it so fast I didn't share lol Their Ham and Swiss Croissant was really good too! They don't skip out on the ham so it had a good ratio of all the ingredients together. I also got the cinnamon bun. I heated it up with a little and had coffee with it. It had a little too much frosting on top but I think it's better to have too much vs not enough. It was soft and gooey inside . It wasn't too sweet which I like. The brownie was really good and chocolately. I warmed it up and slapped some vanilla ice cream and mini chocolate chips on top. Chocolate cookie - I think this was a pass for me. I love chocolate chip cookies but this one didn't really wow me. They're known for their Crufins but I didn't have room to try that this time. I'll have to come back to try it out read more

The coconut filled cream cruffin tasted really good and that's the recommendation I would definitely give if you are trying this place for the first time, unfortunately they kinda have to be eaten right away because it's a dairy filled product so they only have a few hours to them if not refrigerated but they are a great sweet dessert to enjoy. Although they kinda land a bit on the expensive side being $8, they do taste good and I would enjoy occasionally read more

Great bakery. Staff here are always friendly. It's a cute little bakery. I love their Croissant Breakfast Sandwich. They also have delicious Chocolate Croissants and Chocolate Chip Cookies. It's located in a plaza, and I always have an easy time finding parking here. I'll be back again and again. read more

Glutenous Maximus is HANDS DOWN one of the MUST-experience pastry shops in Southern California! We first discovered their Dirty Chai Cruffin at a Seven Seas Coffee shop and were instantly hooked! So when we found out they had an actual shop that we could make sure to hit on the drive back up north stopping by became a non-negotiable... and WOW was it worth it! From the moment we walked in, the service was just as impressive as the pastries! Kymie helped guide us and make suggestion while being incredibly patient as I stood there debating what to get, because there was sooooo many options! Sweet to savory they had it! As for the pastries--every single one was next-level! Our highlights were: -Dirty Chai Cruffin - Massive (like size of a small childs head), flaky, fluffy, perfectly spiced, and filled with airy chai-coffee mousse. -Pecan Pie Croissant w/ Bourbon Maple Whipped Cream - Tastes like the best pecan pie you've ever had... wrapped in buttery layers. Unreal. -Jalapeño Ham & Cheddar Croissant - Jalapeño flavor baked right into the dough, loaded with ham and packed with cheesy, savory goodness. a MUST especially if you like jalapeno! -Turkey, Havarti & Pesto Croissant - Surprisingly there was so much meat (the most we've ever seen in a pastry, like the ham one) and flavor; one of the BEST we've ever had! Parking is plentiful, and the shop itself is super cute inside. There isn't much seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot--which worked out perfectly because we took our pastries on the road and devoured them at a park! If you're anywhere near Vista (or not), this bakery is WORTH the drive and the calories. If you want to eat them more frequently and you aren't super close, you can still get their pastries at all Seven Seas Roasting Coffee locations, which is such a gift to humanity (or a curse because you might spend your entire paycheck regularly on their delectable goodies). Seriously though RUN, don't walk! They are a MUST and some of the BEST cruffins we've had in the nation! read more

Went to this bakery a little later to so I did not get to try as much as I wanted. However, what I had was so delicious! We ordered the ham and cheese croissant, sausage roll, lemon blueberry danish, and the chocolate chip cookie. The croissant was by far the best pastry out of all the options we got. So flaky yet soft and a great size. Perfect ratio of ham to dough. The sausage roll came second. Succulent sausage and went great with the aïoli. The danish was okay, nothing stood out but still good. Could be more lemony. The chocolate chip cookie was good but I have a personal preference for chocolate chunks. The texture was perfect and size was generous. read more

Glutenus Maximus Bakehouse with it's humorous name started off with liege waffles at Farmer's Markets, but now has expanded to a bakery with so many unique and great tasting baked goods. I ordered several to try. Lemon curd cruffin ($7.50) - This was shaped like a muffin but was crispy and flakey like a croissant. I really enjoyed the tart and sweetness of the lemon curd, it was so plentiful and I was impressed with the quantity on the inside. Cardamon vanilla morning bun ($6) - This was another popular item here with wonderful cardamon and vanilla flavors. Macadamia white chocolate cookie ($5) - Packed with plenty of macadamia nuts and white chocolate chip chunks this cookie was thick, chewy, gooey and so good! Definitely one of the better cookies that I have tried. Overall I was impressed with the baked goods here. While there is no seating inside, there are some tables to sit at outside. read more

Amazing bakery space! Freshly baked pastries, rotating daily. Whether you go with their jumbo Cream Cheese Frosted Cinnamon Roll, Cronuts, Cruffins, Croissants or Liege Waffles, all of the treats are amazing. Arrow early and make sure you score the best opportunity to get items of your choice before they sell out...and they will! Big fan of the Salted Maple Cronut and the Ube & Coconut Cronut. Soft, sweet, melts in your mouth goodness. This is strictly a grab and go joint, with no seating indoors or outdoors. Friendly service, constantly huddling with walk up and order ahead customers. Plenty of parking in a large retail lot. A great bakery in Vjsta that offers some kick *as goodies to delight your tastebuds and expand your waistlines. Enjoy responsibly. read more

S T O O P I D . I S . A S . S T O O P I D . D O E S So... there's this new bakery in town called Glutenus Maximus. Yep. Latin. Because apparently if you say it in 'Merican: "Big-Azz Dough-balls"...it doesn't sound artisanal enough. You know what I think of when I hear Latin? I think, "It's gonna cost more." Anything in Latin costs more. Lawyers know this. Doctors know this. Catholic priests who-do-it-for-the-money know this. Now the bakers know this too. I walk in, it smells amazing. Bread smell. You know that smell? Hits you right in your caveman brain. You can hear your Paleolithic DNA whispering, "Eat this, survive winter." I see the pastries. Not just classics like donuts and cookies and croissants. Now we have "cruffins". A croissant-muffin hybrid. And "cronuts". Croissant-donuts. I guess because it's more artsy (/lucrative) to go all Frankenstein in the kitchen now. I bought a $7.50 cruffin-- tall, flaky, filled with key-lime goodness. Delicious, sure, until you think maybe it's just a croissant that's been plumped. Like the Kardashian of pastries. Pretty to look at, but deep down... nothing. Except... it was freakin' amazing down to the last bite. And for the gluten-free people out there: there's gluten-free cookies and scones! At Glutenus Maximus! But why? Why would you come here? That's like going to Hooters for the celery sticks. If you don't want gluten, maybe try Glutenus Minimus in Portland. Or just stay home and nibble on your yoga mat. Pro tip: The name Glutenus Maximus is kinda stoopid. The Frakenstonian items seem kinda stoopid. The gluten-free section is really stoopid. And I'll be back tomorrow. Because I'm not Carpe Diem... I'm Carpe Crustem. Seize the bread, Paleolithics. Even if it's stoopid. Especially if it's stoopid. Stoopid delicious. read more

I would drive here again from LA! When you walk in the amazing sugar aroma consumes you - in a good way! It smells absolutely amazing in here. We were there for about 30 minutes even though there was no line because we had such a hard time deciding what to get.

I decided to give Gluteus Maximus another shot today. My previous visit wasn't great, but everyone deserves a second chance. Unfortunately, Gluteus Maximus apparently used theirs up. Let's start with the blueberry muffin. Calling this a blueberry muffin feels legally adventurous. I counted roughly three blueberries in the entire thing. Three. I've seen more blueberries accidentally fall onto a countertop during cleanup. At this point, the muffin and the blueberries appear to have met briefly in passing and then gone their separate ways. If you're going to charge bakery prices for a blueberry muffin, there should be enough blueberries present that customers don't have to launch a search-and-rescue mission to find them. Next up was the butter croissant. Now, a croissant should be flaky. That's kind of the whole point. It should leave little buttery flakes everywhere. This one was so lacking in flakes that if it were my scalp, my dermatologist would be congratulating me. I squeezed it, broke it apart, took bites from different angles, and not a single glorious croissant flake made an appearance. It had all the excitement of eating a dinner roll that once heard about France. Then came the cronut. It wasn't terrible, but it was noticeably oily and tasted like it had been hanging out in the display case long enough to develop opinions about local politics. Fresh cronuts are magical. This one felt more like a historical reenactment of a fresh cronut. What really puzzles me is that the bakery didn't appear overwhelmed. There were plenty of bags and boxes waiting for customers picking up pre-orders, but very little walk-in traffic. So this wasn't a case of a bakery getting crushed by demand and struggling to keep up. This was apparently the product they wanted me to experience. The staff was pleasant. The bakery looks nice. The concept is great. But when your blueberry muffin contains fewer blueberries than a blueberry Pop-Tart, your croissant refuses to flake under any circumstances, and your cronut arrives carrying enough oil to qualify for mineral rights, something has gone wrong. I'm not looking for a refund. I'm just amazed that somebody looked at that blueberry muffin and said, "Yep, that's the one. Send it out." I gave Gluteus Maximus a second chance. There will not be a third. As a side note, customers need to stop rewarding places that rely more on hype than consistency. A bakery doesn't build a loyal following by serving products like these. A loyal clientele comes from delivering quality day after day, not from getting people through the door once because of reviews, social media buzz, or curiosity. There are too many bakeries working hard to put out fresh, high-quality products every morning to spend money on places that seem comfortable cutting corners. If this visit is representative of what Gluteus Maximus considers acceptable, I'd rather support businesses that are focused on earning repeat customers instead of just attracting first-time ones. read more

YUM! I saw the reviews for the strawberry shortcake croissant... wondered if it was overhyped. Swung by twice. I was unsuccessful the first time as they were sold out. Second time I came as they opened and scooped up a few of the strawberry shortcake croissants, a sticky bun, and a cinnamon bun. The strawberry shortcake croissants were delicious! The ratio of ingredients was great, strawberries were just sweet enough, and the whipped cream was slightly sweet and super fluffy and light. I could have ate like 3 of these on my own but I had bought them to share for the bridal party I was joining up with to get ready for a friend's wedding. The sticky bun was good but I think the bun was a bit denser than I like. It was good. I'm comparing these to the ones from Flour that I love in the Boston area which remain my favorite but these are closer than other places in taste. My partner liked the cinnamon bun. Better than another one he tried elsewhere in the area. I'll have to come back for these again next time I'm in the area! read more

Glutenus Maximus Bakehouse is a simple, clean bakery in Vista that serves creative sweet combinations and flavored pastries. It is a quality spot to pick up a breakfast or snack for the family. THE FOOD * Ham & Swiss Croissant ($7.50): Savory and delicious. The outside crust was flaky, and the inside was moist, perfectly complemented by the melted cheese and the saltiness from the ham. * Tiramisu Cruffin ($7.50): A unique item coated in sugar. We found it to be on the drier side inside and out, though the kids enjoyed it more than the adults. * Butterscotch Pecan Sticky Bun ($8.50): Moist and delicious with a generous amount of pecans. Pro Tip: Warm this up before eating for the best texture. * Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie ($5.00): A no-nonsense, large cookie. I recommend heating this one slightly to get that melty chocolate flavor and gooey texture. THE SERVICE The floor manager was gracious and patient, taking the time to explain the wide variety of offerings and share her personal recommendations. OVERALL A great local stop for creative treats. read more

Glutenus Maximus Bakehouse --- the cosplay name can be playfully inferred to "butt bakery". Maybe it's the inner child in me that liked the name so I had to swing by or perhaps a foretelling of what may happen if I eat too much. Ha-ha! :) It's a small bakehouse with no inside seatings. There are several community tables outside, so unless the weather permits, their business model is order and go. For a mid-morning visit (on Sunday), half of the popular items were sold out! The displayed of the awesomeness of baked good does cause an impulse buy -- so be aware as the items does add up steeply. We ordered half dozens of croissants and pastries to try --- all flavorful, buttery and flaky. Needless to say, all delicious and probably not healthy if I'm trying to watch my sugar intake. The plain buttered croissant was still my favorite. I guess still appreciate the classic. The Chocolate Chip Cookie was too sweet with the chocolate filling. read more

Glutenus Maximus is a small bakery in Vista, CA, located off the 78 between Carlsbad and San Marcos. There is no seating inside, but they have tons of croissants, croissant donuts, and croissant muffins. They're pretty skilled at their laminated doughs as their croissants are buttery and flakey. My favorite bite was their vanilla bean croissant doughnut, which had beautiful flecks of vanilla bean in their buttercream. I also got a liege waffle, but this wasn't my favorite bite as it was a denser than I would prefer. Overall, I think their croissants are delicious and filling and it's great pitstop if you're in the area. It was quite quiet for a Sunday morning - I hope that locals are embracing the great croissants here. read more

Finally made it out to the brick and mortar. It's a bit deep into Vista but so worth the visit. It's a cute little shop that on Friday morning they had the full range of delicious offerings laid out. A variety of savories and sweet and a really nice lady at the front. We ordered the sausage pastry with this garlic sauce you want to slather on everything and lick clean... the turkey, pesto and cheese croissant which was amazing.. of course can't depart without their cookies and a few other treats. I am glad they are not located near me or I'll be their new best friend coming every second I can. Prices are fantastic.. the items offered are mind blowing and I can't wait to stalk them at the next Poway Farmer's Market. If you're lucky enough to be near the brick and mortar they have pastry boxes for a steal and you can't go wrong with anything they offer. Lots of parking. great service as always and a hard bakery to beat in SD! read more
