Alta Bakery and Cafe is a well-loved spot known for its great coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. Visitors should be prepared for a 30-minute wait, especially during busy times, but there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, including a cozy back courtyard where guests can relax. The service is excellent, with staff handling issues quickly. The menu features a three-bean salad, matcha latte, and a variety of sweet treats like chocolate cake with buttercream frosting and blondies. Many customers recommend arriving early, around 8 am or 11 am, to enjoy the full dessert selection before items sell out. The bakery offers delicious pull-apart cinnamon bread, blueberry muffins, and light roast drip coffee, all highly praised. The environment is beautiful, and the owner is very kind and hospitable. While prices are on the higher side, the quality and service make it a worthwhile visit.
