My kids attended Casa Maria
Montessori (sadly, now closed) and St. Mary's Elementary School,
both in Los Gatos. Many, many times I took them from school to the
also-now-closed Good Earth Restaurant on North Santa Cruz Avenue to
enjoy hot cocoa and oversized cinnamon buns. It's been years since
that cheerful restaurant closed its doors, and my kids have not had
a place in which to feast upon huge, locally baked cinnamon rolls
since then.
Until now.

that come out with anything about our fair town (including some
stupid stuff I could miss that actually has nothing to do
with the town of Los Gatos). Recently the San Jose Mercury News did a piece on
The Los Gatos Cafe Uptown
and it mentioned the restaurant's yummy
cinnamon buns.
The Handy teens, aged 18 and 16, had this to say about the rolls
after feasting on them last weekend:
"I'm not sure if I was just hungry or they were incredibly good,
but with every bite I just kept wondering if there was a way to get
more into my mouth, it was so good...."
and
"It is really, really good when you eat it with the cinnamon
butter..."
.jpg) The Good Earth is gone, but the happy sentiments
aroused by their much loved cinnamon buns are definitely
back. It's a mouthful of nostalgia.
I'm sure that all of the food at "uptown" is good. I absolutely
love the original Los Gatos Cafe in downtown. I rather suspect that
the "uptown" branch will bcome my favorite of the two as it has the
great food but without the lines and crowds that I avoid
at all costs.
But wherever you go, do order (or take home) a cinnamon bun.
(This is not a paid blog post, and in fact the owners of this
restaurant do not know that this blog post was going to be
written.)
