This is my favorite coffee shop. I go here EVERY Wednesday after stopping at the Town & Country farmer's market, and lately I've been convincing the parents to join me for brunch after church on Sundays. Guess you could say I'm a regular.
I always order the same drink because it's just so good - iced almond milk mocha. Sometimes I'll get a little crazy and add some caramel. Watch out.
Everything I've eaten there has been fantastic (and I've eaten a lot). If you've been to Paris and you are aching for a croissant, but those huge undercooked limp things in the Starbucks refrigerator case just aren't doing it for you - you have to have one at Carmel's. Perfection.
Make sure to go out back and enjoy your latte or crepes. They made the best out of that little area.
Pat, the owner, is awesome. I love chatting with him about old music. One day I came in and he was snacking on a fresh orange behind the counter - he randomly just stuck out the plate to me. I remember that just putting a huge smile on my face.
Little things go a long way....and Carmel's is full of them.
