About Pavel's Backerei

Pavel's Backerei is a European pastry shop offering elevated desserts, breads, and cookies. The shop is a treasure trove of sweet and savory treats, with standouts like the chocolate croissant filled with chocolate and the lightest, airiest cinnamon roll. The shop is open only on Saturdays, and customers are advised to plan ahead, as popular items like the chocolate chunk cookies often sell out quickly. Although the shop is cash only and can be pricey, the quality and uniqueness of the pastries make it well worth the visit. Visitors often praise the magnificent chocolate croissant, describing it as a dream come true. The shop also offers a variety of sweet pastries, with the peach apricot danish, cinnamon bun, and chocolate croissant being highly recommended. The pastry bread is more firm than typical, providing great crunch for those who enjoy it, while the cinnamon bun remains soft and fluffy. Customers also enjoy treats like the eclair, biscotti, and berry cream cheese danish. Overall, Pavel's Backerei is a highlight for many visitors, with some planning their trips specifically to enjoy its delights before the owners retire.

Best pastries ever. Their chocolate croissants are my favorite

Authentic pastries, friendly staff

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...read full review
