General Info

Café Carmel is more than a coffee shop. Much more. A family-owned and operated business, we offer a warm and welcoming place to gather. Long-established in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Café Carmel serves baked goods, pastries, cookies, desserts and ice cream, and now also breakfast, brunch, lunch, light dinner and snacks for outdoor dining and takeout. In addition to our sweet treats, we prepare classic breakfast items such as eggs Benedict, sweet or savory French toast, housemade granola, quiche and breakfast burritos. For lunch, choose a delicious salad (such as Caesar or roasted beet), homemade soups, and crisp panini, as well as tuna salad, roast beef, smoked salmon, chicken salad and BLT sandwiches. Round off your meal with a delicious chocolate éclair, tiramisu or classic Napoleon pastry. For an added sweet treat, we serve Marianne’s ice-cream made in nearby Santa Cruz. We are proud to offer a 10% Military Discount!Café Carmel is more than a coffee shop. Much more. A family-owned and operated business, we offer a warm and welcoming place to gather.
