“We came to this bakery because I read about their pastries. Particularly, about their almond croissants, and how incredible they were.

If you're driving through, do make sure you stop to try both the almond and the ham and cheese croissant. They are truly spectacular. Something special and hard to find.

I was disappointed to see how snobby? Annoyed? everyone behind the counter was. But I guess when your food is so good, that's a luxury you can afford.“

“From start to finish. Welcome to departure and everything in between what a meal. Perfection in plate presentation, temperature and oh my Lord the flavors. This is Monterey County’s very best restaurant. Service is also excellent since ownership duo lead that effort too. Place was full of very happy customers but is always is. Our #1 choice. Happy New Year!!!! Cheers 🥂“

“My son is in his first year at the DIL in Monterey. I sent a package and it wasn’t supposed to be delivered in time for his birthday. I made an order online and called after to make sure they could deliver to the gate and wait for him to come and get it. It worked great and helped me celebrate him from afar!“

“Great food and very friendly staff. Looking forward to going back.“

“Highly recommend this place. We started out with the Tapas (calamari and the burrata) which was so good! Then we had the paella. It takes 30min to prepare which they told us about and it was disclosed on the menu too which I appreciated. This paella was literally the best paella I ever had EVER. ! Absolutely delicious!!!!! Shareable too! I had the Spanish Margarita for my cocktail and that was delicious too. Left completely stuffed. Definitely worth it.“

“I had a late breakfast here the other day, and it was exactly what I had in mind. The food was absolutely delicious! They ensured that I had everything I needed, and my coffee mug was always full.

I’m not a picky person when it comes to interior or exterior design, or even the type of music is playing. I only care about the food and service, and they did great 5/5!“

“So much choice here, and I love that a full third of the menu is vegetarian or vegan, it makes picking something genuinely fun. The sandwich options are absolutely delicious. I had the ‘Going Home for Thanksgiving’ and it was so tasty, packed with flavour and really satisfying. My husband went for the 'Go Sharks', and we both had ours on sourdough, which was perfect.

The dirty sauce is incredible, one of those things you instantly want more of. And the apple and caramel lollies at the end were such a lovely touch.

Great spot with brilliant food and loads of variety. I’m coming back before we leave Monterey.“

“Chong’s Chinese Restaurant is an absolute staple and a true Monterey icon. The food is always delicious, fresh, and consistently on point every single visit. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in. And let’s talk portions — they are generous, satisfying, and well worth it. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to because you know the quality never changes. If you’re in Monterey and craving great Chinese food, Chong’s is a must. Highly recommended!“

“The food is over-the-top good! Because there is a lunch buffet- I never have to worry about being late going back to work- and I like the affordability :)“

“Picked up food to go last year and it was really good. So happy that we found this place again! Ordered garlic parm and spicy fried chicken wing plates, lemongrass chicken and beef meatball pho. Also ordered strawberry and melon boba milk tea and Vietnamese coffee with egg cream. Food and drinks came out quickly. Customer service was great. It was so good that we ate and drank everything! We will definitely come here again when we’re in the area.“

“Visiting from out of state. Stopped by and oh my word. The food is so good! Definitely recommend this place.“

“The grilled Mahi is the best I've ever had!“

“Had a lovely date here the other day. The staff and service here were very friendly and thorough. The food was amazing, their fried calamari was just the right amount of crispy and their Redsnapper was so juicy and buttery.

Only gripe was all the window seats had been taken, so we sat in an admittedly cramped table against the wall.“

“The best fresh food around. I really don’t go out to any other restaurant anymore because of what I have here. I know the quality of the food the way I will be treated and the cleanliness of this restaurant. In 4 years I never had a bad meal or something that is wrong. They have always been upfront about their menu and service. Even if they are busy they tell me and I don’t care about waiting I know it will be worth the wait. Thank you Krua Thai Gregg“

“exelent service and the food it's grate.“

“I always love stopping at California Pizza Kitchen in Monterey whenever I’m in the area. Their Hawaiian pizza is absolutely amazing—the crust is perfect, and the ingredients are always fresh and delicious. They also have a wide selection of drinks, and their pastas and salads are just as incredible.

One of my favorite things is their lunch special—pizza and a salad combo. It’s such a great deal and never disappoints. The service is truly wonderful; everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Daniella, Amelia, and the busser Juan are absolutely amazing and always make you feel right at home.

I would highly recommend California Pizza Kitchen in Monterey to anyone looking for great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. 🍕✨“

“Nice place, very nice environment will definitely come back“

“Don’t let the low star rating stop you from enjoying the best food in the area, appetizers are amazing and the food and drinks are top notch. Yes it’s pricey, but so is everything else in the area!!! My wife had the crab special and I had the ribeye, BEST food we have had in 5 days! I would like to add that Jeffrey was a great server and made sure we enjoyed our dinner.“
