5 Best Cafes in Monterey

“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!“

“I eat here maybe 2 times a week. I always get the kabob wrap which is amazing!! The drinks are awesome too“

“I absolutely loved my visit here! The Turkish coffee was rich, authentic, and perfectly prepared — one of the best I’ve had outside of Turkey. The atmosphere is so relaxing and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to slow down and enjoy the experience. From the cozy seating to the calming vibe, everything about this place makes you want to stay longer. Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing coffee and a peaceful escape!“

“It was a great place to eat. We sat down fast after putting our name in and the staff was really nice. Overall the food was tasty and so will be back to try more of their menu items. So good Guy Fieri has visited here too and I can definitely see why!!! (:“
