“I’m originally from Europe and as a young girl was trained in an Austrian/ German/ Swiss bakery. I am very picky about the type of pastries and cakes I eat. Parker Lusseau located in Monterey is probably the closest bakery I have found that has baked goods just like in Europe. The quality of everything I have tried has been absolutely outstanding. This bakery is so much better than the Paris Bakery or Bechler’s and even the other area bakeries. This place is authentic European. The ingredients being used are a better quality which reflects on the taste. This is definitely my choice for baked goods in Monterey County.“

“The perfect GF spot! I was surprised by the lack of GF options in the area, but Nece’s more than made up for it. My dad said his cappuccino was the best he’s had in a long time, and the baked goods are so good - in general, not just for being gluten free! DEFINITELY come here if you are gluten free in Monterey!“

“Sun drenched, open garage doors, and bright yet minimalist decor will draw you in. The seasonal lattes (snickerdudes and leg warmer) were good and came in the cutest to go cups. The toasts (banana peanut butter and caprese) melded the flavors perfectly and were boxed up for us to take to go on our way to a whale watching tour. We were in a hurry so I unfortunately didn’t grab any photos except for the can of water I enjoyed while waiting. Seemed like a place locals were working remote from; you may want to stay a while too.“
