This bakery, is an a very good location the problem, is that they have a very bad management.
Since they open this location, they shouldn’t allow the people sale their vegetables at the entrance of the bakery, this gives a very bad image, to see all the homeless around the bakery. The owner and the manager, should had addressed this issue immediately. But they fail to do so.
You will never see this kind of people or sales at the stores at “ PARIS BAGUETTE “ .
why? Because they care, for their business and their customers, they want to have a positive image for people come to their location. They want their customers to feel safe while they’re sitting inside or just come to shop. It’s a pity you will see them there at the entrance with their garbage since AM to PM.
They don’t see how bad impressions they give to this location. You don’t feel safe passing by or entering the bakery.
If you care for your business, you must sorted out and make this bakery a nice and safe place to visit.
If I see any improvement on this location maybe I can change my rating.

I use to love this place but the quality has gone down, the employees are helpful but they don't always know how to make the drinks.

A lot of cool Latin coffee options with vegan milks.
Only 1 vegan cookie option. Doesn’t taste good.

My family and I are considering moving to the neighborhood, so I took a walk to assess its walkability. I'm glad to see that it seems friendly, but my main concern is safety. I have a son whom I cherish, and I want to ensure that his route to and from school is both safe and reliable. I realized I miscalculated the distance to public transportation; it's a 22-minute walk, which is quite a trek, but I think we can manage it.

I really enjoy the area around Western, so I stopped by a few local stores to explore. La Monarca Bakery & Cafe is one of the places I visited and had some amazing treats. I tried a delicious sausage and egg croissant, which they refer to differently in Spanish. It had a nice little kick, even without hot sauce! Overall, I really like this neighborhood and look forward to coming back with my wife for a coffee and sandwich during the week.

I ordered a breakfast biscuit this morning here in a hurry. The lady gave me the biscuit without eggs, only a tiny piece of bacon in it, after I’ve told her I wanted sausage:(. I wish I could get my money back. Now I have to find something else to eat.

Hello, I am a frequent consumer of this site and the truth is that there are people who ask for tips as requested. Today a white, tall girl helped me asking me for tips. For some reason I didn't see it as professional. I hope the administrators see that since It is not an obligation on my part. I will not return when that person is here.

Today I went to the monarch of Santa Monica and Wester and the service is very good but it is not good that they ask for tips, that is voluntary... a chubby, chelita, colochita, cashier who asks for tips... that is earned... but Even if you know that you do a good job, they should not ask for tips. The obligation of each employee is to treat customers well. If the customer tips, it is their will. But it doesn't seem to me that they ask you for a tip.

Overcharged , ask for something and being charged for different things, even after letting them know…??‍♂️

The people are so sweet! And helpful.
The bakery food is very light and has interesting flavor choices. It is also very different than what I’m used to with hispanic bakeries being heavier foods.
Good prices for the food.
