Pastries were great sourdough bread disappointing. The crust was flour like instead of that sourdough shine. When you squeezed the loaf it didn’t have that crisp bounce back and the sour flavor was meh. I’m a bread snob so take my review for what it’s worth (or head over to Ad Astra after you get your pastries)
Alta is one of those bakeries I always want to stop by when I’m in the area. It’s adorable, there are plenty of savory and sweet options and it’s also enough of a cafe you can make a meal of it. There’s usually a small line but it doesn’t take long. The back garden area is suuuuper sweet. Def worth a stop.
I went to Monterey for a conference and made a stop at Alta because I had seen great reviews online! Long story short the reviews are right! The coffee is great and so are the baked goods! I had a mocha and a chocolate croissant and both of which were amazing! The staff was nice and focused on the large line they had coming out the door but were still pleasant even in the rush. The ambiance was nice with a unique outside area to hangout, study, etc! So definitely check it out...
