A staple since opening day – the Carnation Café began as an ice cream parlor sponsored by Carnation Ice Cream. In addition to the ice cream, the Carnation also served as a café, offering sandwiches, breakfast, and a few hot meals. After Nestlé bought the Carnation brand, they phased out the brand’s ice creams, and moved their brand into a new location originally occupied by Sunkist. At that point the Carnation was split in two, with the outside remaining a café, and the inside becoming the Blue Ribbon Bakery. With the opening of Jolly Holiday in 2012, the bakery could once again be integrated into the café, creating the Carnation Café as we know it today.
