15 Best Coffee Shops in Carmel By The Sea

“We had very nice anniversary dinner at Stationaery. We sat outside, since we still do not feel comfortable for an indoor seating due to pandemic. The evening was cool, but heating lamps made it comfortable for longer and leisure meal. Both food and service were excellent. We highly recommend this friendly restaurant and will be back for sure🤩“

“They serve Aurum coffee now! Locally roasted and yum!
Wow! Just had one of their beignets and these are amazing! This is definitely my best Bakery for Carmel
Austin is the best coffee barista in town!! This is our go to for our favorite coffee in Carmel. Amazing latte and cannoli.“

“Lovely shops in this beautiful town. We visited over 18 years ago, so pleased we came back“

“Cute coffee shop and has a variety of savory and sweet baked goods available. Had the beach wave and the fireside bevy. The fireside was my favorite-sooo good! It was pricey coffee but with the cost of beans being imported, makes sense. Lots of indoor and patio seating.“

“Convenient nearby but frankly it's not very good, some items have no taste or are too dry, and it's extremely expensive. Average service in addition, and in addition counter service and a tip of 15 to 25% is requested, which invites me to advise you against this place.“

“The power was out yesterday. Why are you closed today? The entire shopping center is open. I dont get it. Not giving low stars because I frequently visit and like the people there.. but why are you closed all day today, on a Sunday during the holiday months? I just drove by and saw like a dozen cars park within 10 seconds and upset people scratching their head the same way I am.“

“When we rolled into Carmel, I scoped out this spot and couldn’t resist when I saw their special, because yes, I am that into bananas. I ended up getting the Banana Bread Latte, easy ice, and they crushed it with this one! The line was long, but service moved fast. The girls behind the counter worked fast. The drink was devine. That banana foam on top? Woooo, exactly the kind of thing banana lovers live for.

They also have mugs and merch up front that had my eye.

It was a solid visit overall. I’ll absolutely be back for another pour (maybe try one of their other specials).“

“Nice place to have family gatherings..very nice restaurant and foods they serve..“

“Such a charming little spot! We stopped by The Tuck Box because my wife just had to go and she was interested in their high tea, which we didn’t get to try this time, but it’s definitely on our list for next visit.

We came for breakfast and ordered a Benedict. They didn’t have any gluten-free options, but the staff were super kind and made it work by serving it over fresh tomato slices for my wife. Had some coffee and the cozy cottage vibes made it all feel like a scene out of a storybook.

The space itself is adorablem great light during the day. Just a heads-up: it’s cash only, so plan ahead before you go.

All in all, a sweet, breakfast spot with friendly service. Can’t wait to come back and experience their high tea next time. ☕️“

“Delicious freshly prepared donuts with sn amazing variety of glazes. The also have beignets and an assortment of drinks and beverages.“

“There are varieties of delicious breads that you can try and all very fresh“

“My fiancé and I worked with Victoria to get some Sea Salt Caramels as wedding favors for all of our guests and it was such a great experience! Victoria worked with us to get our initials and wedding date printed on the box and made sure it was just what we wanted. We cannot wait to see the finished product in September and would 10/10 recommend Lula's Chocolates for any special occasion or just a daily treat! They put a lot of love in to what they make and you will fall in love with anything you taste from there!“

“From farm to fresh right on the plate; try the walnut apple salad and add chicken if you like. The atmosphere by the fire warms one inside and out.“

“They have good coffee here.“
