Carmel Bakery
Carmel Bakery is a bakery located in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, United States. Established in 1899, it has been described as one of the oldest continuously operating businesses in the city.[1]
History
Carmel Bakery was founded in 1899 by Ernest Schweninger, an early resident of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Schweninger lived in an apartment above the bakery, reflecting the mixed residential and commercial use common in the town’s early development.[1]
According to archival coverage from the Carmel Pine Cone, the bakery closed in 1917 when its original owners shifted their focus to a nearby grocery business.[2] The bakery reopened in 1920 under new management, with Carl Husemann leasing the building.[3]
Over the course of its history, the bakery has changed ownership several times. In 1986, it was acquired by the Pepe family, local restaurateurs who operate multiple establishments in Carmel-by-the-Sea.[4]
Operations
Carmel Bakery produces a variety of baked goods on-site, including breads, pastries, and desserts. The business also serves coffee and other prepared food items.[5] According to available sources, production continues to take place within the original location.[1]
