“Reba's Bakery is such a delight! I ordered confetti cookies last year and this one for my daughter's birthday (this week) to celebrate at school. They were absolutely perfect. Chewy, soft in the middle, and rich with flavor. The kids really enjoyed them! I might have saved a few for myself :). Mike called me the day before to communicate the exact time they would be ready for pick up the next day. The service is always friendly with the finest baked goods. Thank you Reba's! Ali. S”

“Absolutely fantastic food! My wife and I stopped in for lunch yesterday, and I had the Wagyu sandwich—it was incredibly flavorful and easily one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a while. Of course, I had to try a bite of my wife’s Cobb salad, and it was just as impressive. It was so good that I came back again today specifically to order the Cobb salad for myself! Everything has been fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. When a place is good enough to bring you back the very next day, that says it all. Highly recommend!”

“It was our last day in Monterey and were looking for a place to have breakfast and we stumbled onto this cute cafe. Some stuff was gone as we arrived at 10:15 but we did notice they were restocking some of the pastries. My boyfriend ordered the quiche which we enjoyed. I got the brioche which was delicious. The vanilla custard that was in the middle was yummy - and so soft. We grabbed other pastries to take to family. Overall, cute bakery with even yummier pastries that is a must visit.”

“Lupita's strikes again! Once again, completely delicious food! The quality of their food is so good that you won't feel that yucky takeout feeling after eating there! You will feel like your Mexican mom made you a batch of rice and beans! The key is their oaxacan roots! I love how they make their quesadillas with like a thick masa. The tamales are bomb, masa is seasoned correctly and then the fillings are so good. we love the chicken mole ones but also like the rajas and the salsa verde. Today we branched out to try their tortas and new burrito bowls. outstanding! Ask for some Oaxacan cheese on your burrito bowl! Okay, now the bakery... There is always a debate on who has the best donuts on the Monterey Peninsula, I always hear about the donut places, but for me Lupita's is the best. their donut is substantial and then the chocolate on top is decadent! I really keep saying, who would go to any sole donut shop when you can get so much variety here? Donuts, donut holes, cakes, cookies, pan dulce! and my ultimate favorite... a loaf of morning glory bread!!! Like a carrot cake bread with oats! trust me! super delicious! Lastly, they are super friendly! I love their staff! I am currently working with them to do custom donuts for my son's upcoming birthday! They are always willing to work with their customers to make them happy!”
