My husband and I were referred to her, Tart and Tin, by our venue as a preferred vendor for our wedding this November 2021, and boy did she understand the assignment! She is incredibly kind, accommodating, and delivered far above and beyond our consultation and expectations.

Markus who commented below w/ a 2 star rating, and prefers croissants from Costco, has very bad taste. I am glad our paths will not cross when I pick up another batch of croissants from Patisserie Bechler in the future :)“

“We ordered our lemon raspberry wedding cake with buttercream frosting from Parker-Lusseau Pastries, and it was everything we dreamed of — absolutely delicious and beautifully made!
From the start, working with Anne was a wonderful experience. She was extremely responsive via email and made sure all of our requests were fulfilled. The team was so accommodating and ensured our cake would be ready and perfect for our special day, which gave us such peace of mind.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good the cake tasted — light, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness.
Side note: Their almond croissants are incredible — we’re obsessed. We’ve already decided to come back on our one-year anniversary to pick up a mini version of our wedding cake and relive the magic of that day.
Huge thanks to Anne and the whole Parker-Lusseau team for making our celebration so special!“

“Paris Bakery makes THE best Princess Cake and I searched high and low in Monterey to find a bakery that makes them. I ordered one for a baby shower for for a baby boy and requested it to be tinted in blue instead of the traditional pastel green. So we called it a "prince" cake! Hehe.Traditionally it is a classic Scandinavian torte with layers of sponge cake, raspberry jam, vanilla custard, and whipped cream. It is typically covered with a layer of sweet marzipan tinted green.They even add the extra step of using fresh raspberries on the inner layer. The marzipan "frosting" layer was super fresh and it was the perfect touch of sweetness. All the guests were asking what it was and where it was from. Will definitely be purchasing for future parties.I also can't omit the other wonderful pastries that this bakery offers. My favorite is the banana, Nutella croissant.“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor en: Panadería y comida mexicana“

“Stopped here on the way to Carmel-by-the-sea and OMG!!! They had a mix of beaker goods but also breakfast burritos,tacos and tamales. And i tired the chicken tamales and i was in heaven. So so so good. You need to stop by here and I'll be back.“

“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!“

“Layers was the best decision for our cake needs at our wedding. I was so excited when cake tasting, I bought about 40 cupcakes to take home so my family and friends could also try! We loved our simple wedding cake- it was so incredibly easy to coordinate with Hilary. Thank you Layers!“

“Very good place, very clean, you have the opportunity to go to eat several times because my work was close to me, the place is half hidden in the corner and I didn't give it much importance but the moment I entered I was surprised by the excellent service. The food is freshly made and the people who work there are very attentive and friendly.You even have the opportunity to watch a musical group called Los Inquitos del Norte who were eating for something adecer, I recommend it?“

I think about that cookie often. Wish we had one back home in Pennsylvania. It's a must stop! All the cookies we got were so fresh and soft. The staff was very kind.“

If you’re short on time, I recommend calling ahead to place your order. I also picked up a double-baked almond croissant for my mom, and she said it was absolutely delicious. All the pastries looked incredible! I highly recommend checking out this gem!“
