Alta Bakery + Cafe
Now in its fifth year, Alta is a local favorite with outdoor seating in an early California setting at the historic Cooper Molera Adobe. Chef/owner Ben Spungin has worked up and down the coast in Big Sur, Monterey and Carmel Valley for more than two decades, and his cooking philosophy is based on locally grown, seasonal ingredients and bright flavors that balance savory and sweet. Prioritize Alta’s pastries, but keep some space available for the nine-grain pancake, smoked-salmon toast and Bloomsdale spinach sandwich with Baker’s Bacon and green goddess dressing. Kombucha, beer and wine on tap too.
