About Mad Dogs & Englishmen Coffee Bar

Soft morning light, warm wood, seasonal florals, the faint sound of steam rising from a crafted espresso — everything at Mad Dogs & Englishmen Coffee Bar is intentional. Set above the iconic bike shop on Ocean Avenue, this is Carmel’s quiet haven for those who love beauty in the details.

Here, coffee is elevated to an art form. We work exclusively with single-origin microlots, roasted to reveal nuance and natural sweetness, prepared with a balance of precision and grace. Our ceremonial matcha is hand-whisked, vibrant, and modern — a signature experience all its own.

The interior feels like stepping into a European retreat: curated textures, layered neutrals, fresh florals, and a sense of calm that invites you to linger. Dogs are welcomed with the same warmth as their humans — a nod to Carmel’s celebrated pet-friendly culture.

Mad Dogs & Englishmen Coffee Bar is more than a café.
It’s a mood, a moment, a beautifully crafted pause in the day.
An ode to slow living, great coffee, and the timeless elegance of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
