Can you say the word “strudel” without smiling (and salivating)? Do your eyes glaze over at the mention of a bear claw, an éclair, Napoleon, turnover, or tart? This was our favorite category for obvious reasons, but our picks may surprise you. Ever think of finding a sublime taste of Paris in Morro Bay, or Bavarian bliss in Santa Maria? That’s right—the pastry paradises of the Central Coast are often tucked away in modest locations where passersby might never guess of their delicious fillings. Well, we’ve gladly tracked them down for you. So, go ahead-—indulge. |
Fresh goodies are prepared daily at French Corner Bakery in Cambria. |











Life
on the Central Coast doesn’t get much more idyllic than eating a fresh-baked
pastry before the white picket fence of a charming sidewalk bakery in Montecito.
Yes, Jeannine’s is a little slice of heaven. Busy as it may be, we never
miss a chance to stop by for one of their fantastic raspberry scones (left)
made daily with fresh creamery butter.
