Parker-Lusseau Pastries, Monterey CA

Perfection in each bite! Professional, friendly service! Today was my first visit. We were greeted immediately by friendly workers who were already helping others, yet took the time to acknowledge that we were there (such a lost art)! I had some dietary questions that were answered by several including one of the bakers! Not once did they make me regret my question.
-We ordered an individual spinach quiche & an individual tomato & goat cheese quiche. The base on which this light, creamy and moist quiche set was this pastry dreams are made of- flaky, perfectly cooked and oh so tasty. Their coffee options were wonderful also. I will certainly be back. I will also be bringing some home with me. GREAT JOB - BAKERS AND STAFF!

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.

These have to be the best croissants I have ever tried! Super flakely and crispy crust and super soft on the inside.
All versions of the croissants have been amazing!
Also, the torteni bread was delicious!
Honestly anything you pick up from here, you will walk out satisfied

So good. A bit cheaper than other bakeries. Loved the Black Forest Cake and the nut cake. The tart was a bit worse because the dough was a bit too hard.

Everything is delicious! I got a croissant with peach, a almond croissant and a chocolate croissant. The only thing I would say is that the chocolate croissant could be a little bigger lol

Ham & cheese croissant: Excellent. Not too cheesey, good amount of ham. Flaky, crispy, buttery croissant.

Iced drip coffee: Sour and acidic. I did not enjoy.

Service: Friendly and decently fast.

I was in town for my birthday and I remember seeing Feed Mei Mei the Youtuber try this place. I got a plain croissant. I like to consider myself as a croissant connoisseur. Their plain croissant was AMAZING! It was super flaky, buttery, and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely revisit when I come back to town.

My new favorite cafe. Staff were very friendly, service was good, and pastries were absolutely to die for. I had a chai tea (which was fantastic), a mushroom and leek quiche which I got warmed up and ate at the sparse but lovely outdoor seating (and was incredibly delicious, 10/10 would order again), and bought an individual cake and fruit tart to bring home. Everything I've tried so far has been delicious, and I wanted to try so much more. Will most definitely be going again soon!

Wonderful selection of sweet and savory pastries, great ambience of a historic building and outdoor patio/porch space. Everyone in my group was happy with their selections: quiche Lorraine, ham and cheese croissant, almond croissant, morning bun, lemon tart, and various coffee drinks.

Very local oriented and well hidden and French vibe.
Hard to find but once found the location is good for the picturesque pics for SNS.
I was in France and this place has a bit of French vibe.

I was very disappointed in all the manner of the ladies at the bakery and especially one, don't know if she was a manager or not, but she was the bossiest, nastiest to even her own people, but I mentioned $13 for quiche and mocha was higher than I did the day before and she angrily loudly said "WHO waited on you!? WHAT was her name! We need to get that money from her! She undercharged you! " the others in line looked at me like wow, who is this lady? This is BAD customer service! There was NO joy in any of these ladies, only interested in as she said "move the line along! " Paris Bakery women are very nice no matter what! I am in customer service for years, front desk at high end hotels, this is NOT good management!

Being from this area born and raised I know the difference between pretty much all the bakeries this one is French and they are always and I mean from the very moment they opened their doors amazing. Everything they bake or prepare is from scratch with no shortcuts of ingredients. This is what I look for when I taste and I smell. I don't mind paying for something that's actually nutritious for my body. Today I purchased a couple of medium-sized chocolate Easter eggs and the Easter turtle for special people in my life to celebrate Sunday. Unfortunately I did say no to the quiche and the sandwiches and anything else I wanted for this day is not about me
I feel fortunate that that we have this establishment here
It is my very favorite bakery

I don't know if I love the sandwiches or the desserts more from here. The ladies here are always really nice and helpful.

It was my second time here and I ordered a croissant and a large coffee. Well to say the least the young woman and bearded man were less than friendly. I asked if they could “please “ warm up the croissant and she says warm croissant ready. Well it wasn’t even warm but it’s okay I will go somewhere else until I find the right fit! Best wishes to this place…learn to be more friendly! Thank You
