My new favorite cafe. Staff were very friendly, service was good, and pastries were absolutely to die for. I had a chai tea (which was fantastic), a mushroom and leek quiche which I got warmed up and ate at the sparse but lovely outdoor seating (and was incredibly delicious, 10/10 would order again), and bought an individual cake and fruit tart to bring home. Everything I've tried so far has been delicious, and I wanted to try so much more. Will most definitely be going again soon!!!
Being from this area born and raised I know the difference between pretty much all the bakeries this one is French and they are always and I mean from the very moment they opened their doors amazing. Everything they bake or prepare is from scratch with no shortcuts of ingredients. This is what I look for when I taste and I smell. I don't mind paying for something that's actually nutritious for my body. Today I purchased a couple of medium-sized chocolate Easter eggs and the Easter turtle for special people in my life to celebrate Sunday. Unfortunately I did say no to the quiche and the sandwiches and anything else I wanted for this day is not about meI feel fortunate that that we have this establishment hereIt is my very favorite bakery
This is just a small patisserie with a limited menu, but everything is very good. It is Pricy - $8 small pre-made sandwich, small quiche etc. Service is incredibly slow - we had finished our sandwiches before my husband got his quiche. Seating is very limited. It is prim as Riley takeaway & even on a Saturday morning there was always street parking nearby. Would I return? Probably- it is the best patisserie in the area.
Super cute bakery with delicious pastries and sandwiches. Love their quiche!
It was my second time here and I ordered a croissant ? and a large coffee. Well to say the least the young woman and bearded man were less than friendly. I asked if they could “please “ warm up the croissant and she says warm croissant ready. Well it wasn’t even warm but it’s okay I will go somewhere else until I find the right fit! Best wishes to this place…learn to be more friendly! Thank You
My favorite French bakery in town, with artisan pastries and great coffee. High quality food and drink, and in the cutest small building. One thing I have seen a few people bring dogs inside or even sitting at the table in front, which is annoying because the place is tiny and it's a health code violation. Aside from that, I love this place.

The best cappuccino so far in California. Also try the almond croissant ?
Mushroom & Leek and Tomato Goat Cheese quiches (warmed) were excellent. Spilt an almond croissant - liberal toasted almonds on the top and beautiful almond filling inside - we see why so many people love it!Also had one hot and one cold mocha - either way, you can't go wrong! (I usually have husband finish mine, but not this time!)Staff was so very friendly and helpful - plus chatting as the Christmas lights were being strung just made this a perfect last stop before heading home.They mentioned that their pastries are offered in other local coffee houses and restaurants in the area, so if you don't make it to this quaint, historic location, you can still enjoy their delicious treats!
So so good! As part of a visit to Monterey, we passed by this small gem of great pastries. My favorite almond croissants are so delish, it's heavy duty made w a lot of almond paste and nuts. Definitely will visit again when we're in town.
