  Compact Tuesday-through-Thursday French Oven cafe inside a Carmel Valley office building for breakfast, lunch, coffee, and pickup.

  What people go for here: They do not yet establish a dependable specialty, sellout, seating, or current pastry-case consensus, so the branch remains provisional.

  Enter from El Camino Real by the French Oven sign, park in the rear lot, and follow the second sign into the office building.
