About

Coco & Jules Cookies at 3415 Adams Avenue in Normal Heights, San Diego operates as a 100-percent dedicated gluten-free and nut-free bakery — the entire facility processes zero gluten and zero tree nuts, making it celiac-safe without any risk of cross-contamination. Owner Jules runs a rotating menu where each baker selects which cookie flavors go into the oven that morning, producing a lineup that shifts between staples like the chocolate chip, French toast, Mexican hot chocolate, s'mores, churro, and salted blondie. The baking program uses certified gluten-free oat flour as its primary base, sources non-GMO ingredients wherever available, and omits all added nut products — a combination of allergen restrictions that covers celiac disease, nut allergies, and gluten sensitivity under one roof. The ingredient sourcing connects to the broader local food ecosystem on Adams Avenue, where Stehly Farms Market supplies produce and provisions to neighborhood kitchens from its farm-direct storefront. Vegan and dairy-free cookie options run alongside the standard menu, and the bakery also produces cupcakes, blueberry muffins, rice krispie treats, and tiered cookie cakes for weddings and private events. Adams Avenue through Normal Heights in the 92116 ZIP has built out a dessert corridor that spans gelato, ice cream pops, and pies, and Coco & Jules fills the baked-goods lane with a format that serves both walk-in customers and large-scale catering orders. Cookies sell at four dollars each and pair with coffee or milk at a small counter with indoor seating and sidewalk tables — a grab-and-go format that handles the after-dinner dessert walk from Adams Avenue restaurants. The Adams Avenue Street Fair each fall and Adams Avenue Unplugged each spring both drive walk-in traffic past the bakery's storefront, and Jules has supplied cookie platters and custom gift boxes for neighborhood events and holiday orders. University Heights performing arts venues such as Diversionary Theatre on Park Blvd draw pre-show and intermission crowds that loop through Adams Avenue's dining and dessert options, and Coco & Jules's evening hours catch that crossover foot traffic. The French toast cookie — a soft, buttery center dusted with cinnamon sugar — consistently ranks as the most-requested flavor, and the Mexican hot chocolate cookie layers cocoa, cinnamon, and a touch of cayenne into a chewy disk that has converted self-described gluten-free skeptics.
