Our Story

Great Food. Excellent Service.

Gigi's Bakery and Cafe

Gigis opened in 2002 to meet a specific culinary need for the Santa Cruz community: quality food, quick service. Gigis mission is simple: no instant anything. Santa Cruz local, Larry Hanlock, set out to create a unique dining experience that offers fresh, flavorful, innovative foods in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The service is quick, but the food is not fast.

Breakfast is served at 7am. Choose from a selection of artisan breads, bagels, and pastries, or innovative hot breakfast plates. We offer a full line of coffees and teas along with our Espresso drinks and smoothies. For lunch, try one of our gourmet sandwiches, fresh salads, or soups. In addition to our signature dishes, we offer daily specials.

Supper is NOW served from 5pm to 8pm (Monday thru Saturday). Supper is not served on Sunday. Enjoy one of our special entrees prepared daily, plus a selection of sandwiches, salads and grilled items.

Great food, excellent service from a friendly staff, and comfortable surroundings makes Gigis the perfect place to meet friends, hold meetings, and plan special events in the evening hours.

Come by and taste the difference.
