"We hosted a private event at Stationaery and the entire experience from start to finish truly exceeded our expectations. The booking process was incredibly smooth and easy, with so many thoughtful ways to customize the event such as rearranging tables, having your own music, and curating the menu and wine selections. They made it easy to create something that felt personal and special. And for anyone who doesn't have the bandwidth to choose from their extensive wine list (like us), their team will put together wonderful wine selections while keeping your F&B minimum in mind. The space is also just perfect for an intimate gathering. Guests were able to move naturally between the main restaurant, wine counter, glasshouse, and courtyard. Most importantly, the food and service were exceptional. Our guests still rave about the lobster rolls, the cakes (get all of them!), and the drinks. The staff were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and attentive all evening. It genuinely felt like we became friends within the few hours we were there. We’ll always look back fondly on our evening at Stationaery and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming space for a private event."

"Stationæry is a gem in Carmel! The atmosphere is cute and cozy, making it the perfect spot to tuck into. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome right away even though we came close to closing time. The food is definitely a highlight, featuring innovative, fusion-inspired dishes that put a fresh twist on brunch classics. Everything tasted great, though a few flavor combos were quite adventurous, the sausage banh mi was my favorite. They have a lovely outdoor seating option for soaking up the coastal air if that’s what you’re looking for as well."

"Stationæry is a beautiful and cozy breakfast spot in Carmel—relaxed, charming, and the perfect place to enjoy a slow morning with coffee and a great meal. It’s very popular for a reason, so expect it to be busy, but the service was efficient and friendly. The food is fresh, well-made, and beautifully presented. We were a little sad that their must-order hash browns were already sold out when we arrived around 10am (they open at 8am), so definitely try to come earlier if you have specific items in mind. The avocado toast, however, was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying. Street parking is available with two hours free, which makes it easy to stop by while exploring Carmel. Overall, if you’re visiting Carmel-by-the-Sea, Stationæry is absolutely worth checking out for a lovely breakfast or coffee break."

"Great, attentive service! The food was a bit overpriced but everything tasted good. The lobster roll was good but not the same as fresh Maine or east coast Lobster rolls in my opinion! My husband loved his chilaquiles and the orange juice was fresh and yummy."

"A fun find in Carmel. Plenty of seating outside and in the two small rooms. We had a reservation and didn’t have to wait long to be seated. We sat inside since it was a bit chilly but we were given the option indoors or outside. The coffee was just okay, a bit too fruity for me. I prefer a really good cup of coffee over all the lattes and sugary drinks. I had the yogurt granola bowl. It was beautiful, fresh fruit and very tangy yogurt. The pumpkin seed granola could have used some oats and grains. It was a bit too seedy for me. My husband had the breakfast plate, which was good, eggs cooked well and the bacon was delicious. The biscuit was baked fresh and the perfect texture. The cinnamon roll was spectacular! Probably the best I’ve ever had! The whipped topping alone was to die for! The must have gooey center, just enough frosting to cover every bite and the seasoning was perfect. Just wished the coffee was better to go with that deliciousness. Staff were great, very attentive and friendly. A little pricey for breakfast."
