Celebrating summer fruits
Café Carmel owner Sarah Cook will perform a cooking demonstration on Tuesday, July 2 at the Alisal Certified Farmers Market in Salinas. Sarah will focus on showcasing summer fruits, with her demo beginning at noon. Everyone’s Harvest strives to provide access to healthy, affordable fruits and vegetables through farmers’ markets and community food programs — ensuring a fair and sustainable food system.
July is National Picnic Month!
All along the Central Coast, July is prime time for a picnic. The fresh, salt air stirs the appetite and the vistas are spectacular! The American Bakers’ Association founded National Picnic Month in 1952, and it’s no surprise that Café Carmel has become picnic headquarters for those seeking an alfresco dining experience. Choose among our grab-and-go picnic-style menu items, including healthy salads, quiches, sandwiches, and, of course, a medley of desserts and baked goods! Whether it’s an afternoon at the beach or a hike along the headlands, a picnic is a time to relax and refresh with the people we love. Let Cafe Carmel do all the work … just choose the perfect spot!
Café Carmel at Music Series
The popular Summer Live Music Series at Carmel Plaza has become a late-summer tradition not to be missed. Our own Sarah Cook will once again be part of the festivities, appearing on July 12 and July 26. The series runs each Friday from 5–7 p.m., through July 26. In addition to enjoying live music, food, and wine, guests can win incredible raffle prizes from Carmel Plaza retailers. The music is free, with food and drink packages available for $25. We hope to see all our friends enjoying a beautiful summer evening during this fun community event. Please stop by Café Carmel’s booth and say hello!
We serve breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks, dinner, and sweet treats, with takeout via its online ordering platform
