Locally roasted coffees that won't blow your mind, but will certainly beat the pants off the 'bucks. Locations in the Rio shopping center, in the Valley, and on Ocean Dr.

Everything Else

Carmel is blessed with a beautiful beach with easy access (from 13th St., for example), just down the road from the house. Beat the fog by going for a morning jog, or stop by to watch the sun set.
