Companion Bakeshop Westside Santa Cruz

I regularly get my bread here. They have a nice assortment of options, including gluten free ones. It can be a bit expensive for the size, but it's significantly cheaper to buy a day old loaf, which still tastes great and lasts well. The pastries are tasty as well; although,I have had the avocado toasts a few times and would not recommend the Westside toast as it is overly salty, the lemon extract doesn't go well, and is overly priced for the quality. They have a lovely little shop in the back with local and artisanal goods, where I get my gochujang when available.

I'm allergic to gluten but after 6 years I'm reintroducing it to myself yay and they have the best morning buns. Worth the slight stomach ache for one I shared with my Mom.
