The Carmel Coffee House And Roasting Company

Situated inside a small courtyard. Serve good coffee at reasonable prices. Free WiFi available.

Fantastic fresh roasted coffee. Best coffee in Carmel by the sea. Favorite was the medium roast: nice flavor, not over roasted. Cool little sitting area in the alley way. Decent, cheap breakfast sandwiches and burritos and pastries.

I was looking for a beautiful spot to have a simple coffee and enjoy the sky blue day on an unexpected stop in Carmel. Perusing the cafes in Carmel, I was attracted to the beautiful courtyard vibe at Carmel Coffee House. The aesthetics don?t disappoint. Upon walking through a breezeway from Ocean Street, I noted one of the last tables in the courtyard and then I popped my head in to the cafe (which does not have indoor seating). The staff were funny and jovial with me, though I?ve read that staffing and ownership have been a problem in the past. The staff recommended their favourite coffees and I ended up opting for an iced latte with just a hint of lavender. I?m enjoying my iced latte and loving that they listened to my request for only the smallest hint of lavender. Would return for the vibes. Gorgeous place to get caffeinated and do a little work. You feel removed from the cars and foot traffic of Ocean Avenue but you?re only steps away. Coffee is a good dark roast. Working? I?m using full bars of 5G so I can?t speak to the wifi.

We totally love this quaint little coffeehouse. Tucktaway in an alley between a couple of buildings, it is easily overlooked by some of the tourists. This makes it easy to duck in and get an awesome coffee without having to wait behind 30 other people in line. The staff is friendly, the drinks are hot, the pastries are fresh. I especially love the patio seating which is surrounded by some seriously old school Spanish architecture that makes it absolutely picturesque. I grabbed some espresso beans to bring home and brew myself, and they are amazing. So often I am disappointed by beans from other roasteries, but these exceeded my expectations. So, go on in and enjoy yourself; you will be pleased!

One of my favorite coffee spots in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Somewhat hidden down an alleyway, the Carmel Coffee House has outdoor seating in a small courtyard. Tasty lattes and snacks, and they also have a few breakfast options.
