Café Carmel

We come here every time we visit Carmel by-the-sea. They didn't have the silk chocolate pie and strata this time but the Christmas cookies were delicious!! The ham and asparagus quiche was very tasty too!

Great place to rest your feet with a scoop of ice cream (sorbet or sherbet too) or great latte (Illy coffee - ask for coffee cup).

We were first time visitors of Carmel-by-the-Sea and we were brought to this place by the food tour guide. We had the quiche with salad and we were so impressed that we came back on our last day and ordered the quiche and avocado toast. Both were very fresh and tasted amazing. We certainly miss that sort of quality in Illinois.
We also came back few hours later for ice cream and cappuccino. Highly recommended place to visit.

The breakfast sandwich I ordered was probably the most delicious sandwich I’ve ever had. That, plus delicious coffee made my stop at Cafe Carmel so delightful. Definitely on the pricier side but well worth it considering.

This was my first time ordering a cake from Cafe Carmel. My son wanted a carrot cake for his birthday. I worked with Sarah, who is really wonderful, and got exactly what my son wanted. The cake was gorgeous and so incredibly yummy. I would definitely order again. Highly recommend!!

We were here on vacation and this place was awesome. The owner helped us and we had a blast with our croissants, eclair and the house cranola/yogurt/strawberry dessert. Great job. A must visit in Carmel.

Excellent food and a great location. There was no wait. We had the sweet French toast, avocado toast, and quiche Lorraine. This place didn’t disappoint at all.

Best bakery and light bites in town. Everything fresh. Ice cream is served here as well. The place us always clean and welcoming. Go where the locals go! Enjoy!

Perfect little Cafe serving pastries and more. We enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and ham/asparagus quiche. I purchased 2 tiny handmade oil paintings from amongst the cute chachki as a souvenir. The kid who took our order was adorable.

It's a small local coffee shop with lots to offer! Coffee, treat, ice-cream and plenty of nibbles. There is plenty of inside seating. Also if you have a group or four there is a nice table to accommodate a small group.

Dreamy atmosphere! Loved their cappuccino and fruity granola bowl. If you are in the area, you should definitely visit once!

Breakfast Burrito was loaded with bacon, eggs and cheese! We had Avocado Toast and it had an entire avocado sliced on sourdough! Soooo good! What a treat!

Outdoor Patio area is small & cozy! We initially thought food is not great because the place is not packed like the other 3 we passedby... but we were wrong!
Eggs Benedict is light & not salty!
Husband was raving about the fruits, granola & yogurt tasting fresh & homemade!

The cafe smelt amazing inside! I had the homemade granola with fruit and yogurt. And my boyfriend got the smoked salmon bagel. They were both delicious. He really enjoyed his latte and I enjoyed my nitro cold brew!

The smoked salmon sandwich was superb! I would've preferred my shot of espresso in a real cup but that's ok. It is very quaint with lots of selections.

Cute and cozy interior. Excellent and fast hot breakfast and a variety of pastries. The quiche Lorraine is Incredible. Definitely would return.

The Service is wonderful!
Fast for the amount of people they where trying to serve. We ordered coffees and the French Toast and the Eggs Benedict ! The eggs where poached to Perfection! The Hollandaise sauce was on Point!
The fresh fruit on the French Toast was a delicious! Was so happy with the service and the Coffee we stopped back the next morning for Coffees again and had some pastries!
Delicous Eclairs! There selection of pastries and baked goods was amazingly well presented and they all looked amazing!

We stopped here for a small bite to eat. The workers are nice and the food was good. They have sandwiches, ice cream and other desserts.

Freshest berries i’ve ever tasted! The french toast was luxurious. I didn’t get the breakfast burrito, but the peeps i was with did; I warn you that you better be hungry because those burritos are gigantic
