Austino's Patisserie — Restaurant in Monterey

Food: I only tried the ice cream. The strawberry is my favorite. Not too sweet. There is no strawberry piece in the ice cream. Next choice would be the mocha almond fudge. It has actual almond and a hint of mocha flavor. The vanilla taste like vanilla. It taste safe. Can't go wrong with it. I'm not a fan of the pistachio flavor. There was also mint and chocolate flavor. The homemade waffle is worth getting the ice cream in.

Service: The guy that was scooping the ice cream was really nice. He let us try the flavors. The scoops were also very generous. All the workers wear these ugly bright green shirts. The hats seem mandatory also.

Price: It is expensive. Each ice cream cone cost about $8.50. You get 2 flavors.

Ambience: There are outside settings. Has a cafe picnic vibe on the outside. The flowers are also a nice touch. There are also seats indoor. The smell of bakery and sweets...

Again she rolled her eyes. at us. The whole experience was unnecessary and we...

My family and I needed breakfast after our long drive from the Central Valley. We needed a place that had outdoor seating because of our dog. Austino's Patisserie had what we were looking for.

Our breakfast for 4 was nearly $40, but what we got wasn't really worth that. The portions were small, and my omelette was basically a piece of sausage wrapped in an egg. The veggie omelette and sandwich were a much better deal. I wish mine came with some sort of vegetable for the price of nearly $10.

It's by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, so I guess rent must be high, or they can charge those prices.

Perhaps their pastries and lunch options are better. But I wouldn't come back here for breakfast unless I...
