Dolores St. between 5th & 6th, Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA 93921, USA

Our Take

The secret garden tucked behind Pilgrim's Way is a genuine surprise — a quiet, overgrown courtyard that feels completely removed from Carmel's polished main drag, attached to a shop whose staff recommendations are consistently worth trusting. A charming, multi-layered stop that earns its loyal following.
