"The history behind Alta Bakery would be enough to attract most tourists. The building is a vast complex housing a barn and corner store and was once the home of sea captain John Rogers and his wife, Encarnación Vallejo Cooper. In 2019 it morphed from a shuttered historic complex run by the California State Parks to a lively bakery, owned by chef Ben Spungin and the Alta Group. Here, diners can enjoy everything from nine-grain pancakes to goat cheese fritters and summer garden pizza. Both the refurbished building and preserved courtyard are perfect spots to dig into your meal. Be sure to grab a few of the killer blue corn cookies on the way out." - Marisa Churchill
