Patisserie Boissiere Restaurant
between Ocean & 7th, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked in charming Carmel-by-the-Sea, this French patisserie excels at both craft coffee and authentic Gallic cuisine, with devoted regulars craving their silky French onion soup and show-stopping pastries like tiramisu and Paris Brest. The warm, comfortable atmosphere and genuine personality from the staff make it an ideal spot to linger over an espresso and pastry, whether you're seeking a quiet moment to yourself or meeting a friend for an unhurried afternoon. While consistency with service can occasionally waver, the consistently fantastic food and welcoming Parisian vibe keep people coming back again and again.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
