**Especially during this time of year!
If you can afford the extra few hours you will be rewarded with world-class beauty.
Also: During a recent stayover in Morro Bay we were looking for a bakery on an early morning. We stopped by La Parisienne.

Armed with all of my @Chowseeker1999-fueled high expectations of croissants, I entered the bakery.
It was about 7am and the cases were full with delicious-looking, and most definitely homemade pastries.
The woman behind the cases, who I guessed is the/an owner, assured me that everything was fresh and baked on site.
I ordered a croissant and some other stuff.
The croissant was fresh and amazing! Flaky but also luscious and buttery.
And only about $2.50!
I went back and ordered two more croissants for the next day.
I will definitely be stopping there any time I pass through.
