Carmel Valley Coffee Roasting-Barnyard

the house roast drip is where you should start, especially if you're inclined to judge a roaster by its most honest cup. carmel valley coffee roasting has been doing this long enough that the locals at the barnyard have folded it into their weekly routines without much ceremony. you're not in downtown carmel's tourist corridor here, you're in a slightly quieter pocket of the peninsula where the shopping center at 3720 the barnyard draws a mix of residents and visitors who actually live nearby. that distinction matters. the roasting side of the operation means what's in your cup isn't traveling far before it gets to you. worth going back for a second drip before you leave the barnyard entirely.
