“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My family from Texas was visiting and we came for the first time….. best food, service and drinks. Joe was a great and welcoming service. 100% recommend“

“Didn't know if I was supposed to see myself or wait for a host the one helped me about 3 minutes after I got there the food prepared was not exactly what the server wrote up disappointed by that but the food tastes and the folks were walking around to assist we're notice at people who are genuinely happy to be here the temperature is a little chilly inside the restaurant but it's a nice place to be“

“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“
