The Little Swiss Café
6th Ave &, Carmel, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Carmel institution has mastered the art of the leisurely breakfast, where fluffy, crispy waffles and generously portioned pancakes draw loyal regulars who've been returning for decades. The warm, unhurried atmosphere—complete with all-day breakfast and house-made pastries like apple strudel—makes it worth arriving early and settling in for a genuinely friendly experience that feels like breakfast at a friend's table rather than a transaction. It's the kind of place where the staff remembers you and the food tastes like it was made with real care.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Heard rumors of the greatness of this little cafe, and craved an amazing Carmel breakfast. Although we came back from the walk on the beach a bit late and had to wait for 30 minutes for a table, it was well worth it! The menu has many options, but once I saw the blintzes there…
Stumbled upon this lovely Cafe and we were captivated by the food, ambience and overall service! All day breakfast mean and the Apple strudel were soul warming. Perfect brunch in a cool autumn day :) it’s low-key but 100% cozy like a warm blanket.
