Alta Bakery and Cafe

Very nice local cafe, great coffee and cappuccino. Pastry is also amazing! The egg sandwich is light and hearty, and just right for us! The courtyard in the back of the historical adobe house is also a lovely surprise despite of cool morning breeze. So cute and acquainted, feels like a grandmother’s backyard. Great place to chill off and enjoy your morning coffee. The line up can get long even it’s just 8am in the morning, which tells how popular this place is for locals. Will definitely come back next time we come here!

We absolutely loved Alta Bakery. We totally recommend for a lazy weekend morning or afternoon, while enjoying a great cup of coffee and your pick of sandwiches and pastries. Our favorite was the Reuben croissant which comes with Sauerkraut inside. We also loved the eclairs.

The bakery is not too big, but it has a huge patio that can accommodate large groups.

Fresh, awesome breakfast and lunch choices. From warm blueberry muffins (gluten free) to spinach feta croissants, so many healthy, tasty and not so healthy (passion fruit donut of the day) options. Team will walk you through the menu and share all the daily specials: new quiche and soup each day. It’s worth the line and the extra dollars.

Greatest thing about this cafe is that they have lots of gluten free selection. Also, their outdoor seat was our favorite. Must visit when you are in Monterey.

Highly recommended their Lavender Latte and Buckwheat chocolate chips cookie.

Best breakfast in town. Tried it out while we had family in town and we all sampled the 4 breakfast dishes and each one was top notch. Gotta come back and try the lunch. Coffee is good quality too.
