Haifa Coffeehouse
Between 5th &, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a Carmel alley, this intimate coffeehouse celebrates Middle Eastern coffee culture with standout drinks like the Nablus—a fragrant blend of espresso, orange blossom, and pistachio—that transport you beyond the typical café menu. The serene, unhurried atmosphere and genuinely warm staff create the perfect refuge before a Big Sur adventure, where quality matters more than speed and every cup feels like a small cultural discovery.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
