The 17 Best Restaurants & Hotels In Carmel

"Imagine a cottage that looks like it was taken straight out of the French countryside, plopped onto the streets of a California beach town, and filled to the brim with candy: you’ve just manifested Cottage of Sweets. Head inside to continue your European vacation, admiring the variety in this British-style sweet shop. This shop imports candies from all across the globe, but it’s best-known for licorice and fudge. All those choices can be overwhelming, so we tend to head straight to their creme brûlée fudge, and always grab a few extra for friends (which may or not make it all the way home)." - allison green
