May 31 – National Macaroon Day

National macaroon day

Not to be confused with the French delicacy called macaron,

the macaroon is a shredded coconut and egg mixture that is baked into a soft and fragrant cookie. While they originate in Italy, there’s far more to these cookies than one nation can provide. Celebrate them on May 31 and try our version of this sweet treat.

Open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Café Carmel offers breakfast, lunch, and brunch, with takeout available through its online ordering platform.

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.
