Gambling – it’s all about getting the bread. But in Monterey County, if we were counting currency, we might just count it in loaves from Ad Astra. And it that case, we’re all rich. Take a stroll down Alvarado Street in Monterey on a weekend (or weekday) and you’ll likely see a line wrapped around the corner – all for a shot at one of their legendary loaves or pastries that melt like gold leaf in your mouth. A new cafe in Carmel Valley has also quickly drawn a following. And loaves can’t stay on grocery shelves. Everyone’s a winner, now let’s get this bread.
