I love pan dulce.. As soon as we opened the door I was in Pan Dulce heaven. We selected a few, enough for the evening and for the morning with coffee. Conchas were amazing, not dry at all. We also had blueberry muffins for the morning and those were moist and tasty. We ended up going the next evening for a refill as we were headed back to the Bay Area the following morning. Welp, it was sooooo good we went again in the morning. We had to share with our family. We went three days in a row!! I look forward to my next trip out there!

2 stars Just ate an…read morealmond croissant made by Lupita at a marina coffee shop. It is nothing like a traditional almond paste croissant that you can expect to find in Paris. Everything about it was wrong. The dryness of the bread, the apparent lack of butter, the use of powdered milk, the overly sugariness of the almond paste itself. The marina coffee shop used to carry an almond croissant from another bakery, which I was really looking forward to. So when I bit into this one, I was immensely disappointed. Taste is subjective so I can't say that it's terrible, but I really wanted to throw out the remainder of what I was eating.

The real entrance is a back door that looks pretty uninviting but trust me, you want to enter it. When you are inside you will be met with racks of freshly baked bread ready to go home with you. If no one is around just holler out and someone will be with you promptly. Palermo's is a commercial bakery that you can find in nearby grocery stores but why not go directly to the source and support local. We picked up a sourdough baguette, a sweet baguette, and a few sandwiches rolls. Overall, my favorite was the sourdough baguette. I can't wait to come back here and order more bread to share. *** cash only ***

In fact all their pan dulce is on the large size. Some of the pan dulce are wrapped in plastic, don't know why. Their churros are very good. It was busy today on new year's eve, everyone was buying huge piles of pan dulce. They also sell ice cream, only one had a lable which was Tamarindo. Another looked like lime, Another dark red maybe raspberry. I am pretty sure one was mango. Next to the ice cream is a Raspado station, like shave ice. They also make Magonadas. I have to come back in the summer to try all of these. They also have gelintinas, flan regular, caramel flan and chocoflan, cheeses and fried potato chips on a stick. Then there's deli/food section. They had lots of taquitos fried up ready to go. They have tamales we'll come back to try those It was so hot today we had to have some Raspados at Sweet Dreams Delight bakery in Seaside. Freshly made while you wait, so good on a hot day. Flavors to choose from: pineapple, cherry, blue raspberry, lime and mango. Plus they have all kinds of great pan dulce, tropical ice cream, juice bar, food plates, tamales, tortas, burritos and birria tacos and ramen. 3 Raspados cost us 20.00 Primera vez en esta panadería y tienen muchas cosas que hacer aquí. Primero tienen una gran variedad de pan dulce. Probamos algunos, su muffin Crumble de frambuesa era grande, húmedo y sabroso. De hecho, todo su pan dulce es de tamaño grande. Algunos pan dulce están envueltos en plástico, no sé por qué. Sus churros son muy buenos. Hoy en víspera de año nuevo había mucha actividad, todo el mundo estaba comprando enormes montones de pan dulce. También venden helado, solo uno tenía etiqueta que era Tamarindo. Otro parecía lima, otro rojo oscuro tal vez frambuesa. Estoy bastante seguro de que uno era mango. Al lado del helado hay una estación de Raspado, como raspado. También hacen Magonadas. Tengo que volver en verano para probarlos todos. También tienen gelintinas, flan regular, flan de caramelo y chocoflan, quesos y patatas fritas en palito. Luego está la sección de delicatessen/comida. Tenían muchos taquitos fritos listos para llevar. Tienen tamales, volveremos a probarlos. Hacía tanto calor hoy que tuvimos que comer unos Raspados en la panadería Sweet Dreams Delight en Seaside. Recién hecho mientras esperas, muy bueno en un día caluroso. Sabores a elegir: piña, cereza, frambuesa azul, lima y mango. Además tienen todo tipo de pan dulce, helado tropical, barra de jugos, platos de comida, tamales, tortas, burritos y tacos de birria y ramen. 3 Raspados nos costó 20.00

Plentiful sweet and savory baked goodies, coffee and tea options are available. Ended up selecting the ham and cheese croissant, a cinnamon pull apart muffin and a matcha tea with vanilla syrup (other syrups are also available). Ordered a medium matcha but it is totally a small sized one by my measure. Really like the cinnamon muffin and the ham and cheese croissant wasn't bad either. Don't forget the gooey yummy section at the bottom of the cinnamon muffin !!! Would recommend sitting in the nice courtyard tucked away in the back of the bakery. The Cella Restaurant Bar is also located in the courtyard also and I'm sure this would be a cool romantic spot to chill in the evenings. This appears to be a shared space with the bakery, restaurant and the Cooer smokers Adobe Flower Bouquet Bar/Museum. I was seated next to a small garden where lemon thyme, calendula, artichoke and other herbs and vegetables were planted. Would also suggest taking a stroll through the courtyard and take it all in.... Such a nice area to have a private party or event !

Absolute perfection, crispy on the outside with that caramelized, slightly charred sugar, and packed with soft apple pieces inside. The texture balance was unreal: crunchy edges with a soft, sweet center. The ube donut was good too, definitely on the sweeter side. If you love sweet treats, you'll enjoy it, but I personally wished the ube flavor came through a bit more to balance it out. The blueberry donut was another standout. Super soft and muffin-like with plenty of blueberry flavor throughout, plus a nice outer layer for texture. Honestly way better than a typical chain version. Donut holes were solid as well, simple, fresh, and satisfying. Overall, everything tasted fresh and high quality. Service was fast, and the baker was super friendly, hooked it up with extra donuts, which made the experience even better. The vibe was welcoming, and it's definitely a spot worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

Highly recommend using the pistachio milk! Presentation was gorgeous and service was SO good. Friendliest people fr. The space is so clean and so trendy, welcoming, and smells amazing. Don't forget a pup cup for your pup! DO THE BIKE RENTALS! Absolute highlight of our trip. BUT the team at this location recommended we actually rent from their Monterey location based on what we wanted to experience (literally biking on the coast / 17 mile drive route- hello!!!). They were also able to recommend what bikes we should book, etc. Only thing that wasn't cute was the prices on the flyer at the bike shop are inaccurate. Said $50 all day ride from Monterey but in fact it was $75. They said the flyer was out of date. Regardless, Mad Dog is so fab
