“What a gluten free find!!! Not only was this bakery 100% dedicated gluten free they had dairy free and vegan options. Every employee we encountered was helpful and kind. They were able to make us a dairy free breakfast sandwiches which were heavenly. The muffins were large and so moist and delicious. Cupcakes were so good it was hard to believe they were gluten free. But can I tell you about their vegan scones?! I have NEVER had a scone that wasn’t dry until I tried them here at Neces. How do they do it? When I could eat gluten I remember scones being dry lol. You will NOT be disappointed! Cannot wait to take a trip back.“
“Fairly quick service considering the line on a weekday morning. Great desserts and coffee! Super cute place, on the smaller side. On the pricier side.Vegetarian options: All drinks are vegetarian, can be vegan with milk substitutes. Pastries also all vegetarian, just some food options with meat.Parking: 2 hours street parking on the street, paid parking lot next to it too.“
“Never in my life have I ever thought I'd see the live long day I would eat a raw sweet potato but then I went to Alta Cafe in Monterey and ordered a Grain* Bowl. The menu listed sweet taters in it and I'm a sweet tato felon. But to my surprise and eventual delight that sucker RAW. Never have I felt more raw vegan Cali girl Stanley cup life style than then and I fear I may never feel that way again ?. Also the coffee cold brew had coffee ice cubes that was awesome good job guys .and the ginger scone was yummy. And the salmon toast was yummy too.*Quinoa bowl excuse meVegetarian options: So many it's crazy. Raw tatosKid-friendliness: You could fit So many of those suckers in there“
“Best bakery I've ever been to! The only place I'll go for sweet treats... Birthdays, celebrations and even my wedding cake! They always do a beautiful job and great customer service. Such a variety of traditional and modern cookies, pastries, cakes... ALL taste amazing!“
“Was craving a liege waffle for months and a quick Yelp search this morning brought me to L'Aubette. Luckily today was a Sunday, because that's the only day they're open! I parked on Lighthouse (which is a couple blocks away) in order to avoid the metered parking fee near Cannery Row.It's a cute bakery on the corner of Drake. You order and pay outside on the porch. The classic liege waffle costs $5, and you can opt to carry it away in a box or in a handheld paper pocket. The waffle was warm, crisp yet doughy, and just the right amount of sweet/caramelization. Quite the perfect location, as you can cross the street towards Tidal coffee and look out at the bay while enjoying your Sunday waffle.“
“So I'll start with the positivity."The works" bacon breakfast burrito was excellent, potatoes cooked perfectly with great flavor and homemade salsa flavor bomb. Wife said her breakfast tacos were delicious same positivity on her food.Moving on to the drinks, my wife loved the orange juice however $6 for about 8oz is a little bold. I bought a $7 latte which didn't offend me by price because in all the pictures it came in a Bowl! And I was actually excited about that however they didn't have any clean bowls at the time so they gave me a regular mug which was at least only have the size and charged me full price.When I asked about it she explained and said she would remake it for me but never did, and still charged full price.I can get by all that but my son ordered the buttermilk pancakes and they didn't give him syrup we had to ask not that big of deal, then after he said he was done eating my wife went to sample his pancakes and noticed the middle of the cakes still had batter in them, not cooked fully.My son is only 11 and just didn't know any better he thought because it said buttermilk that that was normal lol, the restaurant took off $6 from the $12 price and gave him a free cookie however, one staffer tried to suggest they may have been a little undercooked I don't appreciate trying to justify it just comes off as a disagreement and there was nothing to dispute.Also if you want to make amends for a partially raw pancake you mark it completely off the bill, especially considering I only got a half coffee ?.If I could go 3.8 I would again our items tasted great just some key misses in decorum.“
“Stopped here because there was a higher rated place in the area that had a line out the door. We decided to try here and agreed the line here should be out the door and around the corner.Had one of their twice baked pistachio beads, a chai tea latte and a kimchi cheddar scone.Everything we got was a knock out of the park. They somehow got flavors that are normally more mild to really stand out. Some of the best bread I've ever had.To put it simply. Bakery do bread good“
“The literal best cafe experience in all of Monterey! Tina is AMAZING! So kind and really helps to create the magical atmosphere. The pretzel and the sauces are incredible — the best we have had! Love how local everything is too :) secret “
“One of the best bakery’s around Monterey! Excellent service and amazing food. Delicious pastry and cakes! The owners are amazing and very welcoming! Super family oriented place! Make sure to stop by either for some wine or just pastry with sandwich and coffee!“
“Fantastic French cafe eats and coffee drinks. The setting is so Van Gogh. Perhaps it has views of the water from the unaccessible upper floors but it’s a quaint little place and is part of Monterey’s eclectic make-up. If you have a B’day coming up their French cakes are divine too.“
