Parker-Lusseau Pastries - Bakery and Cake Shop in Monterey - 539 Hartnell St, USA

DIVINE. Croissant was as tasty as though we were in Paris ! Light and fluffy, so buttery! Double latte was perfect, as well as the selection of pastries, quiche and other delicacies.

Hands down the best pastries I've ever had till now. Surprisingly amazing latte too. We tried a lot of french pastries and loved all of them - both savory and sweet ones. One pastry with puff layers and vanilla cream filling, I forget the name - it was so delicious, it blew my mind. You can get the limited seating if you arrive early. During long weekends, holidays, it's hard to get any seating at all. Definitely a must visit.

Outstanding bakery and patisserie in the Monterey area. Every item they offer looks and tastes perfect and terrific 💯

Lemon tart was amazing the plain croissant has the perfect taste and most beautiful inside you can see the air bubbles and not at all oily!!!

Absolutely phenomenal little bakery by the sea. My family can’t stop talking about the cakes!! 🍰 And the lemon macaroons were addicting. The staff is friendly and gets everything done quick, but be aware it’s usually pretty busy! It was a bit expensive for a ‘usual’ spot but totally worth it as a treat yourself day. I’d like to go back and try the veggie sandwich, it looked great.

This is a very good bakery that is highly regarded by many of my fellow locals. However, the selection is limited compared to other bakeries like nearby Paris Bakery or Patisserie Bechler in PG where the prices are a click lower and the quality just as good. The quality here is first rate—just be prepared to pay just under $5 for a croissant or a pastry. This bakery has good coffee.

Most of the time that we're on the Monterey Peninsula, we'll stop in on our way home because the pastries are delicious!

Excellent pastries. Initially bought an almond croissant, brioche with vanilla custard, and cinnamon pastry. Almond croissant was the best we've ever had. The filling isn't just marzipan slapped inside like most places, it's like a cream/custard with almond paste, the croissant itself, exceptional. After we finished we bought two more to bring home. Brioche with vanilla custard was also exceptional, also bought another to take home. Decided to try a Quiche Lorraine, delicious. Can't recommend this place more.
