Happy Girl Kitchen Co
173 Central Ave, Carmel, CA
Crema's Take
“Happy Girl Kitchen Co is a cheerful Carmel cafe that's earned devoted fans through thoughtfully made food rather than shortcuts—their chickpea frittatas are so good people return the next day, and nearly everything is made in-house from granola and jams to vegan pastries and yogurt. The bright, spotlessly maintained space welcomes families and solo coffee drinkers alike, offering both quick grab-and-go service and a lingering atmosphere, with a coffee program that hits the mark and an impressive range of dietary accommodations from vegan to gluten-free.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
