Tuck Box - Carmel-by-the-Sea

Definitely a cute little breakfast spot! Makes you feel as if you are in a beautiful story book. The down side which I hope is only for a while is that they only take cash. We wanted to leave a nice tip since the staff were all absolutely amazing and friendly but since it was getting rush time couldn’t get anyone to break a 50 . We definitely will be back again , with cash but hoping by then they accept card. Food was great and obviously the location is even better !

We are residents in the area but have never eaten here. The restaurant was super cute, and the atmosphere was quiant. It appeared there was only one server when we went, but it wasn't busy at all, even though it was Monday morning during breakfast time. I tried the Tuck **** Mary and the Tuck Benedict. The **** was tasty and a decent size. The Tuck Benedict was kinda bland but was a good portion. Breakfast overall was good, but not great. Had the potatoes had more flavor I would've been sold on my breakfast selection. Cute little spot for tourists though!

We had a wonderful breakfast experience here as a family. We sat right in the window nook by the front entrance. Our kids loved it. The food and service were great. When we first got our food, the poach eggs and their hollandaise sauce, both my wife and I thought the portion was small but no, we were filled once we finished the food. I think it’s the richness of the sauce. Delicious.

What a cute Fairy Tale restaurant! Breakfast was yummy out on their patio. Cash only. Great service! Ask for the Fairy Tale book about the history of the buildings and other locations.

I highly recommend Tuck Box for breakfast or brunch if you are visiting the area for a few days. This place/building has a lot of history and was built almost 100 years ago!! The interiors is super cozy and the food is delicious! Their scones are the best I’ve ever tried! The portions are on a smaller side but the experience and the scones are definitely worth it.
