Mad Dogs & Englishmen Coffee Bar
SW Ocean and, Carmel, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Carmel-by-the-Sea, this espresso-focused spot pulls smooth, balanced shots that keep visitors coming back daily—the kind of coffee that tastes just as good with a splash of cream as it does on its own. Beyond the excellent espresso drinks and fresh bakery, the place has genuine character: it's part bike shop, genuinely dog-friendly (even with sidecar seating for pups), and moves with impressive speed even when the line snakes out the door on weekend mornings. It's the rare coffee bar that feels both effortlessly cool and authentically welcoming, making it easy to understand why travelers end up here for nearly every morning of their stay.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries on the menu. Dog friendly.

Mad Dogs & Englishmen, such a dope spot! 🐾☕️ This place is such a vibe. Part coffee bar, part bike shop, and they even have sidecars for your furry friend. (Now if only they made one for cats... or if my cats actually liked that idea 😅). The space is clean, bright, and full…
