Sweet Elena's Bakery & Café

Adorable little bakery/café with a delicious selection of pastries and drinks. I highly recommend the lemon tart. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The only downside is that parking is extremely limited, so expect to park on a nearby street instead of directly out front.

The Lavender cookies are amazing.

I couldn’t say more about this place! We came in with our two boys, something for everyone. The quiches were OUT OF THIS WORLD! Especially the Ham and Swiss! Cute quiet ambiance. Perfect breakfast! Just what we were looking for !

Got a box of sugar free, really good cookies. Strawberry rubarb tart - i love this kind of desert, but so few places make it, and this place made it sooo good.

Aesthetically, maybe it could use an upgrade, but it appeared clean. The parking lot is very small. overall, though, id describe it as a quaint little bakery with delicious pastries, and for a bakery, the food, not decor, is all that really matters, and they've done it right.

Although the service was not bad, it wasn't helpful either. I don't know what the other reviewers were rating but it couldn't have been on the basis of bakeries because this one fell dismally short of my expectations. I was there just an hour ago and ordered four items with some coffee. The pasteries tasted like day old supermarket food and the coffee wasn't anything to brag about. The atmosphere was okay but the selection and quality of everything else was suspect. I will not be returning.

Not much of a selection but what they do have is good
One thing I find a total head scratcher is that they charge you a 15% surcharge if you wish to dine on the premises. Never have I ever encountered such a thing & find it total unnecessary

Me and my wife have loved their pies for years. Just recently picked some up and they were so good I felt compelled to drop a 5 start review. Highly recommend.

Completely baffled.. I saw here on reviews where they had amazing breakfast sandwiches but when we got there today at 920am they hadn't gotten around to making them. Then when we expressed interest the guy said it would be a "really long time because they are working on other things". Am I crazy for not wanting my family to eat pie for breakfast on a Sat morning?! LAME.

My aunt introduced me to the pies here one Christmas and I fell in love. Now I will literly drive for 2 hours just to pick one up so good. You can taste the love backed into it. Just like if your grandma made it. My favorite is the strawberry rhubarb so sweet and s little bitter just perfect.

We visited Sweet Elena's so much when we lived in Monterey. Delicious food/drinks and wonderful people. My fave was brie/tomato on baguette and a double mocha.

Soups are wonderful especially if you happen to catch carrot. I love/miss the welcoming open atmosphere, the display of brilliant pieces by local artists and
interaction with the community was amazing.

Miss it so much! I retired from Air Force and moved to San Diego County where they have gems but nothing like Sweet Elena's. We'll be sure to stop by though if in the area for sure!

OH! Can't forget the granola, pies and star cookies that my daughter loves are Amazing. She even has King cakes for Spanish Reyes, Mardis Gras and other various holidays!! Can't wait to visit.
