“Went here on a whim while visiting Monterey and zero regrets! Best chocolate croissant I’ve ever had and my best friend has not stopped raving about the chocolate eclair. (I think it might have changed her life.) Extremely reasonable prices and very friendly staff. There was a long line, but for a reason. They kept it moving however, and everything inside this bakery is worth the time. I can’t wait to try the sourdough loaf I brought home as well. Highly recommend this great bakery and will make it a point to visit whenever we’re on the peninsula.“

“Y’all gotta try this place“

“Amazing Mbjeu! Try it! Wonderful staff and their cocido is great too“

“On the road, I was looking for a blueberry muffin. Popped into Fourniers and was not expecting much as the ambiance is unremarkable. I purchased a blueberry muffin and then saw olallieberry muffins in a nearby case. I asked proprietor which was better - blueberry or olallieberry and he recommended the olallieberry, so I also purchased an olallieberry muffin. OMG -- the olallieberry muffin was superb!!! Loads of fruit -- not too sweet -- just the right size --- it was amazing! Blueberry was better than average, but if I'm ever in the area again, I'll be getting the olallieberry! Yum!“

“For years and years my family and I always chose a bagel and morning ride around the beach for a perfect morning. Our tradition! I miss it so much all the way from Texas, my new home now.“

“The perfect GF spot! I was surprised by the lack of GF options in the area, but Nece’s more than made up for it. My dad said his cappuccino was the best he’s had in a long time, and the baked goods are so good - in general, not just for being gluten free! DEFINITELY come here if you are gluten free in Monterey!“

Options in coffee and the one that without a doubt I would return a thousand times for delicious pain au chocolat ? and a hot the.“

“Nice little bakery in Carmel. We stopped by because we saw a line and it looked intriguing. We shared a couple items, although it seemed like the main items were taken. The butterscotch blondie was good, although a bit too sweet for us. The oatmeal berry item was definitely the strongest. I wouldn't say anything here was super memorable, but cute nonetheless!“

“Nice patio to have a quality time with friends & family“

“fantastic baked goods and Greek Salad!“

Our entire team was simply amazed and the quality and vast array of options we picked up last minute. Thanks for taking care of our team! #shoplocal“

“Alexis is an absolute wizard when it comes to concocting drool-worthy cakes and patisseries! My husband and I were referred to her, Tart and Tin, by our venue as a preferred vendor for our wedding this November 2021, and boy did she understand the assignment! She is incredibly kind, accommodating, and delivered far above and beyond our consultation and expectations. My wedding guests gobbled up everything so quickly and people are still talking about her cake design for us. Alexis was a dream and we cannot recommend her enough! :)“

“Lupita's strikes again! Once again, completely delicious food! The quality of their food is so good that you won't feel that yucky takeout feeling after eating there! You will feel like your Mexican mom made you a batch of rice and beans! The key is their oaxacan roots! I love how they make their quesadillas with like a thick masa. The tamales are bomb, masa is seasoned correctly and then the fillings are so good. we love the chicken mole ones but also like the rajas and the salsa verde. Today we branched out to try their tortas and new burrito bowls. outstanding! Ask for some Oaxacan cheese on your burrito bowl! Okay, now the bakery... There is always a debate on who has the best donuts on the Monterey Peninsula, I always hear about the donut places, but for me Lupita's is the best. their donut is substantial and then the chocolate on top is decadent! I really keep saying, who would go to any sole donut shop when you can get so much variety here? Donuts, donut holes, cakes, cookies, pan dulce! and my ultimate favorite... a loaf of morning glory bread!!! Like a carrot cake bread with oats! trust me! super delicious! Lastly, they are super friendly! I love their staff! I am currently working with them to do custom donuts for my son's upcoming birthday! They are always willing to work with their customers to make them happy!“

“Stumbled upon this gem when we needed to make a stop in Carmel. I had the caprese sandwich and lavender latte. Husband had the hot pastrami. Both sandwiches were delicious and very large portions. But geez were these sandwiches expensive. Very pricey but delicious. Would recommend maybe splitting a sandwich.“

“Ordered cupcakes from here for our daughter’s birthday. Price and service were great. Cupcakes were absolutely incredible and delicious!! Beautiful presentation, cake was super soft with a lovely flavor and the absolute BEST buttercream I have ever had. So smooth and buttery! Will definitely use this bakery again and highly recommend!“

“The bread here is so yummy, fresh and soft to the touch. All of the best sandwiches spots in town use Palermo bakery! This establishment values their customers and provides quality service. I will definitely be back, this place does not disappoint. Thank you!!“

“Love the BLTA. Need a quick lunch or snack? This is the place. Only reasonable prices in Carmel.“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor en: Panadería y comida mexicana“

“The literal best cafe experience in all of Monterey! Tina is AMAZING! So kind and really helps to create the magical atmosphere. The pretzel and the sauces are incredible — the best we have had! Love how local everything is too :) secret “

“Layers was the best decision for our cake needs at our wedding. I was so excited when cake tasting, I bought about 40 cupcakes to take home so my family and friends could also try! We loved our simple wedding cake- it was so incredibly easy to coordinate with Hilary. Thank you Layers!“

“We used Freedom bakery for our wedding cake. Being not from the area we were not sure what to expect, we did two flavors mango coconut and raspberry lemon, by far the best cake I've ever had, and they did it exactly as we wanted. I highly recommend them.“

“Absolutely amazing bridal shower cookies. We were doing an English High Tea party and the cookies were perfect! Thank you so much!“

“Paris Bakery makes THE best Princess Cake and I searched high and low in Monterey to find a bakery that makes them. I ordered one for a baby shower for for a baby boy and requested it to be tinted in blue instead of the traditional pastel green. So we called it a "prince" cake! Hehe.Traditionally it is a classic Scandinavian torte with layers of sponge cake, raspberry jam, vanilla custard, and whipped cream. It is typically covered with a layer of sweet marzipan tinted green.They even add the extra step of using fresh raspberries on the inner layer. The marzipan "frosting" layer was super fresh and it was the perfect touch of sweetness. All the guests were asking what it was and where it was from. Will definitely be purchasing for future parties.I also can't omit the other wonderful pastries that this bakery offers. My favorite is the banana, Nutella croissant.“

“Sun drenched, open garage doors, and bright yet minimalist decor will draw you in. The seasonal lattes (snickerdudes and leg warmer) were good and came in the cutest to go cups. The toasts (banana peanut butter and caprese) melded the flavors perfectly and were boxed up for us to take to go on our way to a whale watching tour. We were in a hurry so I unfortunately didn’t grab any photos except for the can of water I enjoyed while waiting. Seemed like a place locals were working remote from; you may want to stay a while too.“

“Las memelas están deliciosas y el champurrado igual el servicio todo muy bien regresaremos es seguro �“

“As a born and bred NYer I know good bagels when I taste them and these are very good.I don't buy any sandwiches so have no opinion on that-just give me the really good fresh bagels and let me buy the Acme Lox from Costco and I'm a happy guy.“

“They have good coffee here.“

“Absolutely delicious ice cream! I had the salted caramel and the Oreo in a waffle cone. Both were great but the salted caramel really stood out!✨ The service was great too! Quick and friendly customer service😄 Also, a friend of mine has said they always come here for food when they visit so I know I'll try some the next time I come for sure!“
