Gordy's Bakery and Coffeehouse in Encinitas produces scratch-baked pastries and batch-brewed coffee at 441 Encinitas Boulevard, just west of the Interstate 5 interchange. The pastry case centers on The Plonk — a proprietary dense muffin hybrid loaded with dates, raisins, and bananas — alongside bacon scones and Monkey Bars, each scratch-baked daily in a lineup that feeds the same Encinitas Boulevard morning crowd drawn to Buona Forchetta for weekend brunch. Coffee comes from La Costa Coffee Roasting, a North County wholesale roaster that supplies a medium-bodied New Guinea organic batch brew with caramel tasting notes. The bakery earned a 93-out-of-100 San Diego County Environmental Health inspection score, and the gluten-free baked goods menu accommodates celiac and wheat-sensitive diets. A rotating seasonal menu adds pumpkin Plonks in fall and specialty bars throughout the year, building a pastry-forward identity on Encinitas Boulevard near Lotus Cafe & Juice Bar on South Coast Highway 101. The scratch-baking program runs a full daily production cycle covering Plonks, scones, cookies, bars, and sausage rolls, with each item mixed, shaped, and oven-fired on-site from raw flour, butter, and whole fruit rather than pre-mixed commercial bases.
