The Little Swiss Café

Coming from Switzerland we absolutely had to visit the little Swiss chalet. Really liked the ambiance and little funny details hidden in the mural painting. Great place for kids, I would imagine. We had pancakes with eggs and beacon and blinis with strawberries. Blinis turned out to be stuffed crepes. We didn’t like the pancakes because they didn’t really taste like pancakes. Overall food was good but not amazing.

The croissants were delicious. Eggs Benedict with Lox was yummy. Freshly squeezed orange juice, as well. Definitely going there again. Friendly staff. Beautiful location. A ‘must’ in Carmel.

Want or NEED Breakfast...this is the place! Our waitress was the most positive and focused person you could ever meet. I had the Belgian Waffle with REAL Maple Syrup (an upgrade you want) coupled with eggs, bacon and bottomless coffee. My wife had the half order of Eggs Benedict with Acocado and Bacon. Very nice! P.S. Each table had some type of germ killing device (see picture of Germ Guardian).

One of our favorite breakfast places in Carmel. Highly recommend their Eggs Benedict! Their pancakes are spongy and fluffy and worth trying. Thank you for the great friendly service!

This sweet European style cafe was a unique surprise! The staff treats you like family, the food is tasty, generous, and served promptly. The artwork is charming and if you look carefully at the four seasons mural, you'll be delighted to find familiar characters! You won't be disappointed.

The food is simply wow! Then, you have nicest servers ever! Great experience :). So happy I discovered this place 😍.

Great little find, fantastic waffles and breakfast. Quick and friendly service and Shrek themed restaurant. Find cute things in the paintings. Will go again

Great place for breakfast or brunch in style. Eggs Benedict and huevos rancheros were yummy. And Cheese blintzes were a nice surprise. The place is popular especially during holidays. And our waitress Marilyn was absolutely amazing.

A bit of a wait for outside dining, but well worth the wait. The blintzes are amazing!

NEW VISIT 9/26/21 - Stopped by The Little Swiss Cafe again for breakfast. As usual, great food. We hit the timing right and we're seated inside immediately. We ordered coffee and breakfast. We also ordered the cheese blitzes again. They are so yummy. The order comes with three blitzes (though the photo only shows one!). Too much food really, but we couldn't resist ordering the blitzes again. If you're in Carmel, give them a try!

A cute place, decent, professional sevice. Kind, but not especially friendly to strangers.
The blintzes were the best I have had in years. Excellent cheese filling.
The pancakes. The Central Coast seems fixated on thin pancakes. They just don't have the robust body or flavor of regularly thick pancakes.
The have newspapers. Local travel guides and other reading materials

I would definitely return.
