8 Best Bakeries near Carmel Valley

“We visited this cafe twice during our 4 days in Carmel Valley. This cafe was close to our hotel, and my husband needs his morning coffee/pastry so we checked this place out. And i'm glad we did because all of the pastries were delicious! We tried so many. The blueberry scone, blueberry muffin, lemon pound cake, coffee cake, chocolate chip walnut cookie, sugar brioche, and caprese sandwich. I never have high hopes when I try new places in the area, but this cafe was super cute and had great pastries. We bought a box of pastries to bring back with us. Looking forward to coming here often on our future trips.“

“I have been going here for a few years now. The cakes are absolutely delicious! We have a lot of March birthdays and our favorite flavor is the lemon cake with raspberry preserves. The owner is very kind and they always pull off any decoration that I want. Would recommend 10/10!!!“

“Love this place!! Everything looks delicious ? we shared a quiche & got a Milky Way latte & horchata latte & they were delicious ? We bought treats to go too Service was pleasant as well. There’s seating inside & out. Highly recommend ??“

“we've been here a few times now.. We were drawn by their almond Croissants that the coffee bank sells.. Its high end cakes and well worth a trip.. My wife finds excuses for us to drive near it and then 'oh are we near Paris' !... Staff are friendly and helpful and cakes always fresh and interesting !“

“The sweet pans are delicious and a must try, when we got there, they were all freshly baked! Only complaint I have is the tamales, they were not cooked properly, thus they were dry, and I believe the corn husks that wrap around the tamale were not washed before steaming so the taste of dry dusty husk was strong within the tamale.Parking: Parking was fairly easy to find.“

“I love this place. It's a bit odd at first going into their wholesale area as this is a working large bakery, but it's easy. First you navigate to the Togo sign and make an immediate right and park in the bakery lot. Then you walk around to where the drive-thru area is and walk through the double doors. Sometimes they are busy filling orders, but they get to you pretty quickly. You get to choose the breads you want, they bag em, you pay cash, and you walk away with gorgeous fresh fluffy loaves of deliciousness for a fairly inexpensive price. I stopped by every time I'm on the peninsula. They're my fav. Tried the others. Paloma has bread down!! That's why a lot of the sandwiches here are so good. Go. You won't be disappointed.“

“I walked in expecting a sandwich deli but encountered a taqueria w Hispanic pastries instead. So hungry I didn't care. Better than most. Seasoned meat, REAL sour cream that you can actually taste w avocado instead of liquid 'guacamole'! Pico de Gallo is fresh! Big but not huge & I could barely finish it as food depraved as I was. I'd ask for extra cheese if I were to order it again. Bathroom door doesn't lock from inside so BEWARE.“

“Prices are reasonable bread is delicious. I believe it’s a fried quesadilla when fresh it is fire although their food is always fresh but when they make it right then in The moment when you ask, Although time does not always permit, because they are always extremely busy which speaks volumes for their quality of food“
