Initially I wanted a mimosa but they were out of Prosecco. :( Instead I had the white wine honey mojito, which was sweet and not too heavy on the alcohol. We shared the elote (special!) and mushroom pizzas. The pizzas were cooked perfectly and were even better the next day. The elote pizza has a bit of a kick but not super spicy. I also tried a little of the pear blue cheese salad, which was tasty. Waitress was friendly and the food came out quickly. Plenty of indoor and outdoor dining options. We sat outside and it wasn't too chilly or noisy. Would come next I'm in Carmel!

Even while searching for it (without a map), I didn't think we were going to find it. The shop is great, they have a bunch of food goods including oils, salts, crackers, jams, chips, and more! They also had a selection of cute little trinkets and some cookbooks. They have a fridge full of beer, wine, and milk, and then of course the fridge of their own house-made cheese. We came in on a Sunday and they have cheese toast Sundays. I'm not sure what their food options look like other days of the week, but they had signs that said they had a sweet and savory option every Sunday! They also had baked goods and coffee. My mom got the sweet toast option, which was an incredible Strawberry cheese toast, and I got a Croque monsieur. We also got to taste a few of their cheeses that they were sampling. We sat outside at one of the picnic tables. Other seating options including two large fire pits and some smaller tables. Such a great spot, can't recommend it enough, and I look forward to coming back in the future!

Food was delicious! I ordered a Three Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Basil soup and it was melty and buttery and it warmed my soul on this rather overcast day. Service was superb! I was able to choose my own table, she always made sure my Sprite was never empty, and she rushed a second sandwich order for me when I still had some soup left over and wanted more to dip. I didn't catch her name, but she was awesome. Thanks for the experience and I'll definitely be recommending this place to folks willing to travel to Carmel Valley. It's worth it!

Normally have never been impressed by birrerea because the broth is usually just bland and greasy. Not here! So flavorful with a nice little kick of heat.

The quesabirria was soggy instead of having that crispy texture, and the birria itself didn't taste well cooked. What made it worse was that I specifically asked how many tacos came in one order and was told three -- I only received one. I hate even having to write this because I'm Hispanic and I always try to support Hispanic businesses, and the workers were super nice to me, but this experience was really frustrating and disappointing. To add to it, I paid $9 for two regular tacos for my coworker, which felt extremely overpriced for what we received.
