Best coffee and bakery in town. My husband tried 3 in one day and we came back here a few times! Line goes by fast! Worth the wait. Lobster tail was my favorite pastry!

Delightful little stop, there was a long lineup to order but the line moves pretty quickly. We got the mango gelato, walnut pastry & shortbread cookie - everything was absolutely delicious. This place is California’s oldest bakery and running for over 120 years.

There is always a long line here. We decided to wait in the line this time and we were pleasantly surprised with the pastries. Almond Horns are our favorite. The pistachio mousse cannoli is very delicious.

I’m a sucker for baked goods and this place did not disappoint. There’s a chance the line may be out the door but don’t let that deter you; the wait is worth it and the staff here get you in and out without rushing you...Read More

Cute little bakery in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea! There was a line out the door on a Saturday morning but Sunday it was less busy so we decided to stop in for breakfast. The fresh Pèpe coffee was very good, just like the restaurant Vesuvio...Read More

I’m still dreaming about the pretzel I had at Carmel Bakery — it was INSANE (in the best way)! I didn’t expect much when I walked in, but wow, was I wrong. I actually stopped in because the amazing staff at Pangaea Grill across the street...Read More

White chocolate brownie is really good. Highly recommend getting it. It would be nice if they let you sample ice creams.
