Bella Luna Bakery, Merced, CA
New bakery on the block! As excited as I was to see this place, (or any new places in general) it seems to be more of a middle-age spot, where as Coffee-Bandits, also a new cafe/bakery that just opened in Merced caters to younger people like college students. We went into Bella Luna and saw old teachers, principles and old classmates and even though I liked it- the way it’s set up: the clean brick wall, to the wooden counter and cabinets, the chairs, the lights…Diana was not ‘feeling it.’ They have delicious pastries though and alright coffee. I think it’s great that they’re located downtown because y’know how downtown is…it needs life and Bella Luna definitely gives it life.
