Baum & Blume and The Carriage House

I can’t say enough good things about Baum & Blume in the Carmel Valley! Even though they were technically closed when we arrived, Deborah graciously served us a meal that exceeded all expectations. The cucumber soup with chives and fresh parsley was beautifully refreshing. The chicken was absolutely phenomenal, perfectly spiced and lightly dusted with flour for an incredible flavor and texture.

The spinach and plum salad, paired with an amazing lemon glaze, was a delightful combination. The potato salad was flawlessly balanced, with the potatoes cooked to perfection. Each dish was prepared with such care and attention to detail.

Dining at Baum & Blume felt like visiting family. We left happier than ever and can’t wait to return. This place truly deserves all the praise!

Stumbled into the carriage house layers on a late
Saturday afternoon, and couldn’t be happier! Food and service were impeccable. We loved the popovers, meatball hoagie, spinach and artichoke raviolli, lentil soup, reuben quesadilla, and salmon burger! In fact we loved them so much we ordered
the margarita cheesecake and coffee ice cream for dessert. The food was light, yet filling, and each dish had a flavor profile that was simultaneously familiar/nostalgic and unique. Can’t wait to swing by again!

We stopped by for a late lunch. The team was accommodating and genuine. I’m a dessert junkie, and loved the margarita cheesecake!

The lentil soup & pop overs were amazing. Everything was fresh and clearly house made ?

What a hidden gem! If you are available during their very limited hours, do it! Adorable dog-friendly little back patio and gift shop, and as the other reviews attest to they have incredible food for this area. They are primarily a caterer and offer a lot of take-home meal options as well with a rotating menu.

This place is truly a gem. My husband and I were looking for a space large enough to fit our 25 person wedding rehearsal party in Carmel Valley but still keep it an intimate setting. Right away, a deliciously curated menu was brought together within 24hrs of contact. Decor and lighting was taken care of and made for a beautiful dinner. The food was amazing. It had all of the home-cooked dinner feel with the experience of a classic French bistro!

My first visit here. Super friendly, with creative and delicious food. I look forward to coming back so I can try more dishes.

We enjoyed the Mother’s Day picnic box. It was delicious and so easy. The corn chowder was fantastic as was everything else.. There was plenty of food and no clean up. I would definitely do it again next year.

I have been to several functions that Baum and Blume catered and they are among the very best if not the best on the Peninsula. Innovative and delicious always! We only wish that they would post menus online for pickup bc we would be soooooo happy and we would make sure we asked for take out now during Covid.

Picked up 2 of the best fruitcakes from Baum and Blume. I meant to serve them over the holidays but we opened one and couldn't stop! They are fabulous!

Baum & Blume is absolutely fabulous! They have a variety of menu choices and we have had extraordinary meals at a very fair price. My mother knows how much I enjoy their creations and picked up a birthday dinner to go for me and my husband. The package even had beautiful birthday chocolates. Thank you Baum & Blume!

exquisite lunch in tiny Covid space outdoors. Will try to go back whenever in the area. Known for catering which would be perfect for a picnic or other.

I love BAum and Blume bc their menu is always so interesting and everything is always delicious! Plus the owners are so charming and accommodating. We have had the pleasure of enjoying their food at catered events. My husband and I have also eaten at their small restaurant in Carmel Valley. The only thing we have not experienced is carry out but we plan to do that this week!

Have used them since we moved in 25 years ago. Take out mealsand catering. My family has loved the take out dinners and we havehad them cater dinners and parties. The best. Try them
