Review of La Lune Sucrée Pastry Shop

I’ll give you what you all want to know first: was not glutened, celiac safe prep space, they use Canyon Bakehouse grain bread as a substitute for baguette. Sandwiches can be made gf— pastries, crepes, and quiches cannot. Ok, now onto a longer review for those that like that:

La Lune Sucree is located on a pedestrian only path just off of SJSU. It's a lovely clean area with other shops (gong cha, philz, etc). The music plays softly: muzak and jazz inside. There are several two-seater tables outdoors as well as indoors where there are two bar seats, two single tables, two doubles, and one table for four.

I ordered the caprese sandwich on gf bread and the strawberry cream matcha latte with oatmilk. With $2 tip the whole order was $24 total. While the barista was putting in my order she let me know she was putting a note to prep my gf sandwich on a separate surface. Yay!!!!! Love that.

On to te taste. The latte was freaking amazing, I guzzled it. The matcha flavor was there, it was creamy, there was really strawberry in it. The sandwich was adequate-- it was just balsamic salad dressing with mozz, basil, and tomato on grain bread. I assumed the balsamic would be more of a reduction so that it's not just liquid dressing but oh well. They gave me two as a replacement for one big baguette. The bread was half toasted, half gluey. I recognize Canyon Bakehouse gluten free bread anywhere, so here's a tip for the restaurant owner: you need to toast it all the way through, otherwise it will be cold and gluey. In general it was exactly as advertised so I can't complain, but just didn't blow me away. It was food.

Would come again. Very nice atmosphere and service!!
