I mean, the place was looking great, the aroma, the ambiance. If you really care about that. I bought an egg quiche and had it warmed, I waited not a long time, but surprisingly long in terms of reheating. And when I got it the outside was warm, but the inner part was still cold. It was really good, but it would have been better had I received a fully warmed quiche.
May come again, it was good regardless.

Superb friendly staff! And the cakes are delicious! We got passion fruit cake and pistachio - raspberry cake. They are beautiful, delicate, and sophisticated! I love their small pastries like financier as well. The croissant and puffed pastries are a bit too dry for me. Still it is better beyond average puffed pastries. Definitely want to try other items!

I love this bakery! It's a must-try if you're in Monterey! π₯β¨ I only took a picture of the Spinach-Filled Croissant, but I also had an Almond Croissant and a Quiche Lorraine. #bakery #monterey #yummy #pastries.
But this Spinach-filled croissant
Was a Savory Delight in Every Bite π
If you're a fan of flaky pastries and savory fillings, this spinach-filled croissant is a must-try! π₯π§
The buttery layers are perfectly crisp on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside. π
The spinach filling is generously packed, with a rich, cheesy flavor that complements the savory greens. ππ§
But what truly sets this croissant apart is the crispy cheese crust. It adds a delightful crunch and a layer of cheesy goodness to each bite. π₯π§
It's the perfect balance of savory and indulgent. π
Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast or a satisfying snack, this spinach-filled croissant is sure to hit the spot. π₯π

Almond Croissant: A Nutty, Buttery Delight
A symphony of textures and flavors
If you're a fan of flaky pastries and nutty goodness, this almond croissant is a must-try. The buttery layers are perfectly crisp on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside. The almond filling is rich and creamy, with a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with the salty, buttery croissant. Topped with sliced almonds, this pastry offers a delightful crunch in every bite.
It's the epitome of a decadent breakfast treat or an indulgent afternoon snack.

I love this little pastry cafe, it feels so nice. Ambiance so beautiful. Smells so rich and comforting. How I wish they still make those apple galettes. Iβve had them from 9 years ago, I still remember the first bite and still craving for it. I wouldnβt drive 6 hours just to learn they donβt make it anymore. I highly recommend this place

The interior of the shop is warm and inviting. There were enough options for quiches and pastries to pause and reflect about what I wanted, but not so many that I was overwhelmed.
I selected the Leek & Mushroom Quiche and had it warmed up. It came out at the perfect temperature to enjoy on one of the outdoor tables. The pastry was light and fluffy and the mushrooms were delicious.

An absolutely delightful bakery tucked inside a charming, thick-walled historic building, offering a variety of fantastic treats and excellent coffee. There's a cozy seating area on the porch and a quaint garden terrace to the left, perfect for enjoying your treats. It can get pretty busy, but it's well worth the visit!

Stopped in today at 10 am. Had the tomato and goat cheese quiche, peach pastry and a coffee. Asked for quiche to be heated and it was still cold after heated. Also drip coffee was luke warm at best. I dont live here but if i did i would try other places before coming back. Peach pastry was delicious

Walking in, it looks adorable. Delicious looking pastries and a smiling face greet us. The person who assisted us with our pastries was an absolute gem. When I explained it was our first time in, and asked what she recommended, she was patient and helpful. As we moved towards the register, the person there was incredibly impatient and outright rude.
I understand that it's a busy place, but bending down to ask my kid what she would like to drink is an important part of the process. The drink taker cut us off so quickly that we couldn't even add whipped cream to the hot chocolate. We'll just stick to Captain + Stoker.

Great little bakery, the pastries are rich and flavorful. I highly recommend the spinach quiche. The crust is buttery and flaky. When we come to town we always get something from here.
