If it looks like a mouthful to a Yanqui, that’s because it is. A wonderful delectable sumptuous mouthful of Spanish cooking goodness.
Rice cooked with clementines, bacon, peppers, onion, and squash. Wow is that wonderful!
Amazing new breakfast special at Carmen’s.
Like the name says— savory bacon, tart apples, and amazing blue cheese with a little cheddar for flavor.
On special today and tomorrow at the Farmers Market and at the Café
We are happy to announce that we now have Jim-Gerale on tap!
That deliciously refreshing ginger ale that you have come to know and love, the one with half the calories and twice the flavor, the (almost) golden elixir of good health, prosperity, and beauty— now on tap!
At the Café and the Farmer’s Market.
It starts with Jim-Gerale and goes South from there— South Troy, that is! Try the latest wine cocktail from Carmen’s!
Nothing I like more about city life than relaxing with friends at a sidewalk café, sharing a great meal and watching the summer go by.
It doesn’t get finer than this!
Gluten Free Pancakes: an amazing recipe— Carmen has been tweaking it all week, and I get to sample! They keep getting better and better, and they started out pretty great. With our own Mango–Banana–Peach purée
Black Bean Omelet: Light but it’s got staying power! Black beans with garlic, tomato, onion and cilantro. Sounds Mexican but it’s Cuban now! (shown above with fruit, but we’ll serve it with salad, guacamole and English muffin).

Topped off with Vanilla and Chocolate Egg Cremes, Minty Iced Tea and Jim-Gerale
Sure, Carmen’s attracts folks from all over, people who appreciate a fun, relaxed atmosphere and great food, vegan and vegetarian and gluten free options, and the quiet buzz that comes from great conversation. But that’s not what we mean by cosmopolitan.
Cosmo special, today only, $5 per glass with a meal. Or without, come to think of it.
But if you are having a meal, could we suggest our new black bean omelet, which is taking the world by storm?
Open till 4.
At the farmers market, Cherry – Cheddar – Apple – Pecan Omelettes.
At the Café, Apple – Blue Cheese Omelettes.
Either way the taste is amazing and the savour is fantastic!
