Known For

the avocado toast everyone's posting about

Cozy rooftop restaurant with shaded outdoor seating, offering global dishes & fine wines.

🕐Best time to visit: weekday brunch for shorter waits

San Carlos St, Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA 93921, USA

Our Take

Treehouse Café layers exposed brick, tucked-in seating, and serious espresso into a package that feels genuinely earned rather than designed for a mood board — the cappuccino is the real draw, and it delivers. A strong neighborhood coffee stop that sits right at the top of the "worth finding" tier for Carmel.
