Forget that this place is gluten free goods. It's one of, if not the best bakery in the area. Even if you aren't gluten free, you should eat here anyway because you won't know any difference.

The crepes are great, I am pretty sure all of them can be made gluten free. You do have to pay a bit more, but I think it is worth it.

As a healthy-foodie type who is also gluten sensitive, this place was a fabulous find! All organic with amazing natural choices, for both vegetarian and paleo, and obviously, cautious about food allergy prep! Staff was beyond friendly and food was delicious! We will def make this a go-to spot when in town!

Fantastic, fresh gluten free, vegan treats, and definitely not just for vegans or gluten free eaters :) The almond biscotti were out of this world. Cute little spot as well, just steps from busy Cannery Row

They make some great coffee and a delicious London Fog. Make sure to order the gluten free raspberry lemon muffin and the cinnamon roll, they are truly a delicious snack.

I have been in search of a spot hear in Monterey that offers a gluten free treat. East Village did not disappoint! Their Morning Glory Loaf was just what I had hoped for, and the staff was warm, welcoming and patient with my questions about ingredients.

Delicious baked goods ranging from muffins and scones to quiche and croissants. Hot coffee and cute decor complete this great spot for breakfast or a quick sweet treat. It can be hard to find baked goods that actually contain gluten and real sugar and butter etc.. esp in California, so we were thrilled to find The Perfect Crumb Bakery.
