September offers many other foodie days to celebrate at Café Carmel:
Sept. 13 — National Peanut Day
Africans first introduced peanuts to North America beginning in the 1700s. Thankfully, that led to some enterprising baker creating the wondrous peanut butter cookie. Café Carmel specializes in this treat, and on Sept. 13, customers who buy two get the third cookie for free.
Sept. 22 — National Ice Cream Cone Day
Aligning with our mission to serve local, artisanal products, Café Carmel serves decadent scoops from Marianne’s, the family-run creamery from Santa Cruz that started in 1947.
Sept. 29 — National Coffee Day
Legend has it that an Ethiopian goat herder first discovered the wonders of coffee centuries ago when his goats became increasingly energetic after eating berries from a certain tree. Today, this human pick-me-up is so instrumental in our daily lives. Visit the café any time on National Coffee Day and receive a free regular drip coffee with any order.
