“The most civilized place to dine in Carmel. We are always made to feel like guests visiting a friend in their cozy dining room. As for the soufflés—delicious, a bit decadent and most enjoyable. Given that it's only lunch service, there is no reason not to get 10,000 steps on the beach post-lunch! We will be back!”

“We chose Patisserie Bechler to make our custom wedding cake and croquembouche, and they were very professional and helpful every step of the way, making sure that both desserts would be perfect. Both were delicious, beautiful, and authentic. They coordinated the drop off at the venue seamlessly. We hope to make it back to Patisserie Bechler soon to try the rest of their pastries!”
