Very contemporary feel to the place. Felt like an upscale Italuan breakfast place with lunch options after 11am. Our server Jolie was a breath of fresh air and very welcoming. The food was delectable and yummy. They have kept things simple yet have crepes and French toast, avocado toast and some interesting drinks. Loved it... definitely going back!!

This place is a must try! Everything is made from scratch and delish! We had Jolie as our server. This woman is TOP NOTCH, she goes out of her way to make you feel welcomed and explain the menu. Definitely on her game, thanks Jolie! The cold brew coffee was smooth and excellent. I enjoyed the savory crepes with greens, while kids loved the sweet strawberry nutella crepes and lemon curd french toast.

Hostess was rude. Manager was condescending. To the owner-he is not the guy you want managing. Don’t go here if you have a party of 5 or more. They can not accommodate you.

Unfortunately we waited patiently for well over an hour for a table. We called ahead 3 days ago and were told we could call in our way there to put our name in. When we called day of we were told that wasn’t the case. So my parents put our name in when they got there. My mom ended up leaving in tears. Waited for one long table instead of offering to put two tables together— were very rude — ended up leaving. Disappointed in how we were treated. Didn’t even get to try the food. I would rethink before going.

This was the worst experience I have ever had. Our party called in for a table and they completely bullied us. Totally unacceptable behavior from the manager. I don’t care if the food is supposed to be good, nothing is worth ruining someone’s day if you’re not in a good mood. Supposed to be a fun graduation brunch and instead turned into a terrible day.

The mushroom soup was great, but if you order panini, you'll be disappointed.

Excellent service and food was way beyond our expectations! Will definitely return!

Nice cafe. The frittatas and coffee are all amazing. The crepes and waffles are also good. We went on a weekday so could get a table pretty easily

The cafe is a lovely place and we love visiting for breakfast on Sunday mornings. We have been several times. I want to love it, but the service we experienced sitting at the “bar” was terrible. The server (we call her “the juicer”) is consistently in a bad mood and rude, making us feel uncomfortable. We joke whether she will be in a good mood before a visit. Ironically, my son and girlfriend went last Sunday without knowledge of our prior visits. He came back and said the same thing about “the juicer”. He thought she brought the place down a bit. I hope this changes-the food and atmosphere are fantastic!

Was tasty. I had a bagel sandwich. The portions aren’t huge, but the presentation and the atmosphere definitely are part of what you’re buying. It is not a inexpensive breakfast place, but it has very classy clientele and while it is a little louder would make an excellent place to meet somebody for an informal conversation.
Great breakfast stop in Carmel. Staff were very nice and friendly. Food was excellent and came hot. Atmosphere was nice not to loud or to quiet.

I just had a delicious breakfast at Caffè Buondi. The frittata was hot and so tasty. I hoghly recommend the pistachio cappuccino! It was just lovely. Even the English muffin was toasted to perfection! It was my first visit, but I will be back again!! I strongly recommend Caffè Buondi.

The waitress who served us seemed to be very bored, she wasn't having a good day, she made us feel uncomfortable, there was a racist atmosphere, if you are Black or Latino please don't go to this place, they gave us coffee with a broken utensil, it was in very bad taste.
