Leadership Carmel - Leadership Carmel

Café Carmel is the BEST if you are looking for a GREAT breakfast, lunch, snack or sweet treat in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Also, if you have a special occasion coming up, and would like a FABULOUS custom made cake that will WOW your guests, Café Carmel is your GO-TO place. There are assorted sizes to choose from for celebrations big and small.

Sarah and her staff make a giant full-sheet custom cake for me each year for the LEADERSHIP CARMEL graduation ceremony reception. These cakes are the BEST cake I have ever tasted and I have baked many cakes myself over the years. They are BEAUTIFUL, CREATIVE, and DELICIOUS. Included is a picture of a previous year’s cake. Another one is already ordered for this year’s graduation celebration.

Sarah, you always EXCEED our expectations! THANK YOU!💗
