Gelato Cafe dal Mare

Known For
Vivid gelato colors against warm brick that photographs itself
Gelato Cafe dal Mare tucks its exposed brick charm and cozy nook seating into a compact space that somehow feels generous. It's great for photos without trying — the gelato colors do most of the work.
🕐Best time to visit: Late afternoons in summer when the flavors are fully stocked
between Ocean & 7th across from Piccadilly Park, Dolores St, Carmel, CA 93923, USA
Our Take
The latte art at Gelato Cafe dal Mare is more than Instagram bait — it signals an attention to craft that carries through the whole menu, and the cozy brick interior makes the gelato-and-espresso combination feel like a proper indulgence. A solid stop in Carmel, though it doesn't quite distinguish itself from the town's deeper coffee offerings.
