    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.

    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!!

    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 !

    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!

    A sconewich with cheddar jalapeño

    I didn't think gluten-free baked goods can be this good. Usually the thought of a gluten-free pastry is so offputting that I don't even try it. We just so happen to be staying at a hotel one street over from this place on our trip to Big Sur so I walked in. I got a sconewich two days in a row, and to be honest it was one of the most delicious things I've ate. I also brought a blackberry scone home, which was equally delicious. Everything else looked so fluffy and amazing, I honestly don't know how they do it. I have baked gluten-free before and everything comes out like a brick. I loved this place.

    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.

    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

    Incredible gf bakery! So many delicious items and very single one is gluten free! Plus the bakery itself is modern, cute and clean with a very high-end vibe. The ham and cheese breakfast bun was delicious and huge. The brownie was also delicious. Nece's is delicious and such a welcome treat for me as a person who can't eat gluten at all. If you're in the Monterey area and are looking for GF, stop here!!!! Thank you Nece's gf!!!!

    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!

It's a small shop, and since I wasn't sure yet if I wanted a pastry, I ordered a coffee first while my husband looked at the case. One of the women behind the counter told me, "Usually you order pastries first and then we get the coffee at the end." The way it was said immediately made me feel uncomfortable, like I was somehow doing something wrong. I apologized and explained we weren't from here and I wasn't even sure yet if I wanted anything else. Their tone changed after that and became much friendlier, which honestly made the interaction feel even more awkward. My husband ended up ordering pastries, including a chocolate croissant for me, and both the latte and croissant were good. Sometimes the experience matters just as much as the food. It's hard to fully enjoy a place when your first impression made you feel unwelcome. I truly wanted to love this spot because it came so highly recommended as she visited it daily, but I left feeling more embarrassed than excited to return.

    Absolutely stunned!! We were took excited to take pictures…read morebefore eating!! Special Sandwich: 10/10 This sandwich was amazing. Definitely worth the two hour drive. It had freshly cooked bacon to perfection, butter lettuce, the freshest tomatoes, an aioli sauce, on perfectly toasted sourdough bread. Would 100% get it again and I hope it's not seasonal because everyone should try this sandwich!! Flourless Brownie: 8/10 It definitely is a flourless brownie the texture of it is almost like fudge. It melts in your mouth instantly, there's not really much of a structure to the brownie. If you're a texture person this might not be for you as it's not a traditional brownie it's extra gooey. However, absolutely love the flavor of it. It's a rich chocolate flavor with powdered sugar on top. As a dark chocolate lover this was pretty good!! Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips: 6/10 It's nothing too special, it was more on the dry side but still strong banana flavor!

The golfing goal was going to be easy since I had two tee times set up at two different amazing golf courses before I even arrived. The food one I thought might be a bit more of a challenge since I'd never been to the Monterey area,so I knew I was going to have to rely on trusty Yelp for some assistance. Well after a great day of golfing,the first thing I wanted was some high-quality pizza and Yelp pointed me straight towards Heirloom Pizza located on Cass Street. Parking at this location was pretty good as even though it was located in a busy part of town,they had their own lot they share with other businesses. Once inside I was able to see how cute this restaurant was-totally the kind of place one would take someone they cared about-date-night vibes for sure. We had called in our order before we arrived and since we were taking pizza back to the group,we ordered two large deep dish pizzas. We ordered the Pepperoni Deep Dish ($38.75)-which basically features pepperoni and a crazy amount of cheese. We also ordered The Slider($38.75) which featured meatballs,mushrooms,onions,roasted garlic and a crazy amount of cheese. Each pizza was 12-inch size,smaller than I'm used to when ordering deep dish but with the high quality ingredients and elevated cooking techniques they used,it seemed like a fair price. Both pizzas were incredible tasting and choosing between them would be like picking between a Lambo or a Ferrari.Both were an amazing eating experience and both established a new standard for deep dish pizza for me. But if I had to pick-Slider all day-I really loved that pizza,perfect crust,perfect variety of toppings,perfect seasonings,perfect sauce-yeah that was a really great pizza. I hated that I had to share it if I'm being honest. In closing, If you're ever in the Monterey area and you would like to try some high-quality deep-dish pizzas,give Heirloom Pizza a shot-I'm sure you will enjoy quite a tasty bite.

The crust was flavorful, just thick enough to hold up, but thin enough not to fill you up. The sauce, was to me, a perfect tangy zesty tomato sauce , not spicy, containing chunks of fresh tomato. Under the sauce, enveloped within a succulent bed of cheese, were the items. The pepperoni was solid, fresh and a flavor delight, but the star was the Slider Pizza. Packed with succulent meatballs, with mushrooms, onions and garlic, each bite was a savory flavor bomb on my taste buds !
