    Hello! You had me at absolutely charming! First of all, I've never been to Morro Bay and it was probably the only torrential rainy day in a Century. Being from Seattle, I'm nothing but used to the rain. But this little visit to the bakery warmed my heart. As we drove to the bakery we stopped at Morro Rock, , so I could actually see the amazing 23 million year old monolith. So fun to see the surfers out there! As we started driving into a neighborhood to get to the basket, I was like, "What? Am I going to Gramma's house?" And then, we pull into the freaking cutest little beach house with a garden that made the bleakest day make you feel like sunshine and rainbows. Upon entry, the baked spices and smells blow your olfactories! Yummm! We felt the young lady was very overwhelmed with all the baking!! And maybe our dumbfoundedness was overwhelming. Or maybe I was overwhelmed with so many amazing options and goodies!! She had just pulled something out of the oven. We ordered lemon curd and raspberry tarts, brownies, curry croissants, ham and cheese croissant, french onion soup croissant and some other cookie that someone snuck in on the sly. Sadly, there was no seating there, so we had to take everything to go. Luckily we were only 10 min away. Everything was epically delicious. Especially the flaky curry croissants!!!! They really know how to do it!!! If we had more time we would try their bread. I can't imagine what this place is like when it's peak season but it must be crazy! It is a must visit!!!

    Caliwala has mastered the art of bread making and pastries! Our family of four arrived craving baked goods and we left beyond satisfied! We ordered the cinnamon roll, lemon curd tart, apricot tart, almond shortbread cookie and Sonara loaf. Everything was delicious and the bakers clearly have a deep knowledge of how every ingredient interacts and affects the final product. Both their skill and use of premium ingredients came through with each bite. We will definitely return next time we are in the area!

    Strawberry and cream cheese croissant

    Excellent food. We got the strawberry and cream cheese croissant as well as the gluten free sourdough bread. Cute little shop with sweet staff members.

    They also sell adorable things like baby shoes that are handmade by women in Nepal.

    Lovely & charming tiny bakery that sells delicious & organic viennoiseries. The pain au chocolat was divine. They also sell adorable things like baby shoes that are handmade by women in Nepal. You gotta check the boulangerie, it's a gem. Check the hours!

    Canadian bacon and cheddar croissant

    Picked up both sweet and savory croissants - an almond and a Canadian bacon and cheddar. I think they were both sourdough as well. Both were flaky and crunchy. So filling. Wish we got there earlier to try their various bread offerings. Pretty much sold out by time we arrived.

    My sandwich with the farmers market's vegetables and an egg.

    Caliwala Bakery is near the Beerwood restaurant and Los Osos & Baywood Park Farmers Market. It is an amazing bread shop. The cranberry walnut is our family's favorite. I like to use it to make a sandwich. We highly recommend you check out this bread shop if you are visiting this area, especially if you love sourdough bread.

    Vegan Everything Croissant

    This place is what vegan dreams are made of! We arrived shortly after opening and everything was freshly baked. The aroma of fresh bread was mouthwatering. They have a good assortment of vegan options and our cookies were nice and hot! We will return during our stay to try their vegan tamale pie! The bakers were so helpful, warm, and friendly. Peace and love vibes for sure! Highly recommend for any and all visiting the Los Osos/Morro Bay Area.

    A must stop for all things fresh baked, even for my gluten-free gang! I didn't know this was the same baker/owner as the former bakery in this spot (I think it was just a name change). The baker was really pleasant and helped me chat through some options for my boyfriend (not gluten free) and me (very gluten free). The baker said his wife has been the catalyst behind the GF option, so if you're reading this, thank you! My partner got the traditional pain au levain loaf, a sourdough croissant, and I got two chocolate chips cookies (GF and made with cashew milk) and an empanada. Don't sleep in...their loaves go fast. In my opinion, the bread was very affordable, and a great purchase. Yum! They also have other little snacks and cupboard items. There is outside seating, and plenty of parking space on the road.

    Absolutely loved this little place!! Not only is the view from the front out into the bay, FABULOUS…read morebut the atmosphere was so nice! The new owners have done an INCREDIBLE job! They are so sweet! We visited Morro Bay for the first time and I was so pleased with the food, we went back 3 more times!!! Everything is super fresh and the flavors were great! Coffee was delicious!! I highly recommend and I will tell you, now we have a regular place to go when we visit because WE WILL BE BACK!! We had the breakfast croissant sandwiches, the lattes, the fresh homemade soups (wow) with the fresh baguette!! So delicious! I literally took a dozen little red velvet cake pops and little cakes home with me... just delicious!! It gets packed in there but the service is great and well worth it!

    When you're in Morro Bay and spot a giant BAKERY sign, head inside! This is La Parisienne, and it…read moreis mos def worth the stop. We were lucky enough to snag the last almond croissant, and what a treat it was. The exterior had a sweet, delicate crunch, and with each bite, rich almond filling oozed out for the perfect balance of texture and flavor. It wasn't overloaded with powdered sugar, and the sweetness was just right--indulgent without being overwhelming. I also tried a slice of the salmon and leek quiche. It was light and fluffy while still feeling substantial and satisfying. The combination of savory salmon and sweet leek worked beautifully together. Whether you're starting your morning or looking for a midday pick-me-up, the quiche is a must-try. I was excited to try the house made mango-infused black iced tea, but unfortunately, there was nothing mango flavored about it That said, this bakery is still well worth a visit. Between the pastries and quiche, it is an easy stop to recommend when you're in Morro Bay.
