The Tuck Box
Dolores St between Ocean & 7th Ave, Carmel, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Carmel's charming downtown, this fairytale cottage restaurant enchants visitors with its cozy, intimate atmosphere and traditional British-inspired breakfast menu, where Scottish scones with clotted cream and eggs Benedict are standout favorites. It's a cash-only gem that rewards you for slowing down over good food and friendly service, making it feel less like a pit stop and more like a beloved local secret worth seeking out.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Cash only.
