As the new year rolls out, it’s a given that Carmel’s go-to bakery-cafe will celebrate National Croissant Day. The flaky, buttery, decadent French classic is a mainstay at Café Carmel and will be the featured attraction during the holiday on Sunday, Jan. 30. But for those who want to stick to a certain New Year’s resolution to eat more healthfully, Café Carmel offers a bounty of farm-fresh salads and vegetarian/vegan options. With the health and wellbeing of its customers at heart, the downtown cafe also provides gluten-free and non-dairy delicacies. Café Carmel also sweetens the deal for return visits. Customers holding Reward Cards receive a free coffee beverage for every 10 purchased. Owner Sarah Cook has launched a second promotion to reward return visits. Customers may place any order of $10 or more before 11 a.m. and receive a promotional card to come back the same day between 3-5 p.m. to receive 25 percent off their entire order. Café Carmel is on the north side of Ocean Avenue between Mission and San Carlos Streets. Call (831) 624-3870 or visit www.cafecarmel.com to place an order for takeout. |
