Carmel Bakery at Portola Hotel
Alvarado Mall, Carmel, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Carmel's Portola Hotel, this bakery strikes that rare balance of serious coffee craftsmanship and genuinely exceptional pastries—think macaroons and butter croissants that deserve their own reverence. The staff brings a warmth that matches the beautiful setting, making it feel less like a quick caffeine stop and more like a proper gathering spot where you'll actually want to linger over your cortado and cannoli.”

This place has amazing baked goods, highly recommend the macaroons. Good coffee too.
Super nice staff, awesome coffee.
Beautiful spot for coffee and a dessert. We tried the cannoli. It was delicious. My first time here. The gentlemen who attended us was very nice.
I had a pretzel with cheese that was very good. A butter croissant that was amazing. The staff was very professional. It was clean, and the vibes were immaculate. 10/10
