After lunch at Sur at The Barnyard, we visited Carmel Valley Coffee Roasting Company around 2 pm, located in the same complex, for an afternoon coffee on New Year's Day. The staff was courteous, though they appeared a bit mellow. I ordered a honey lavender latte. Unfortunately, the lavender flavor was overpowering, and I ended up drinking only half before discarding the rest. Next time, I plan to try a plain latte which is my usual go-to drink. The café offers a simple and cozy atmosphere, with outdoor seating available to enjoy the fresh air. It's a pleasant spot to relax and unwind away from the crowded tourists in other areas.

Happened to be around the area and so glad I stopped by to taste their cup of mocha. It was delicious and believe better than Starbucks! Might be that they use Ghirardelli. Went there around 8am and came back around 1pm to get their blended mocha which was also amazing! Definitely coming back when in town. Then inside had space for people to sit and chat or do some work. They have black and white photos of Carmel by a local photographer.

Recently visited this charming coffee shop and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was inviting and warm, perfect for a relaxing break. The staff were exceptionally friendly, adding to the overall pleasant experience. I tried the fireside bevvy in a medium, and it was delightful. The flavor was my fav as it was sweet and satisfying. Honestly, I wish I had gone for a larger size! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for great drinks and a cozy spot.

It's definitely a cute cafe with cute coffee shop vibes if pretty coffee shops is what you look for I just didn't fully love what I ordered, wasn't very tasty to me, but I'm willing to go back and order again to find something else more suited to me taste just because I enjoyed my time there and the service was great

Sweet little coffee shop on our way to Carmel. There are a couple more locations in the area including downtown Carmel. Kind staff and clean facility.

Nice coffee shop located in the Barnyard Shopping Center. I ordered a black coffee dark roast. I did want medium roast but they ran out at that time. I normally prefer medium roast but I was really surprised how delicious this dark roast was. It was not bitter at all. They had some delicious looking pastries and refrigerated snack foods but I was headed back to the valley and just wanted some coffee. Barista was nice and friendly. The shop is clean with lots of window seating.
