"Edit: I did enjoy this place at first, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be returning. I found a hair in my food, which was extremely disgusting and completely ruined the experience for me. After that, I have no desire to eat here again. Caramelo Café is definitely a cool spot with a really nice vibe. The space feels modern and cozy, making it a good place to grab breakfast or brunch whether you’re with friends, family, or just taking yourself out. It is on the pricier side though for two people, you’ll usually end up spending around $70 before the tip, so just be prepared for that. My go-to order here is always the Chipotle Chilaquiles. They have a perfect balance of flavor not too spicy but still packed with a good kick. I like to add a side of protein, which makes the portion feel more filling. And their coffee is always on point hot, rich, and smooth. One thing I really appreciate about this place is the staff. They’re always super friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which makes the whole experience feel worth it. If you’re planning to come on a weekend, do yourself a favor and join the waitlist ahead of time through the Yelp app. The line can get long, and checking in online saves a lot of waiting around. Overall, I definitely recommend giving Caramelo Café a try. The food is tasty, the service is great, and it’s a good spot to treat yourself just expect it to cost a little more than your average breakfast place."

"What a gem!! Very Hispanic joint but I felt very comfortable. The lattes and churros are perfect. This is like an old style Cafe. Breakfast and lunch looked great. The place was packed. The service was excellent. I was looking for a place to work for an hour and stumbled here. Highly recommend it."

"Been here for breakfast several times and they never fail. Everything was absolutely delicious. Can't decide which chilaquiles are my favorite, green, red or chipotle. Maybe chipotle has a slight edge cause of the creamy sauce. Regardless they are perfectly crunchy. The artisanal chorizo is so savory. Highly recommended."

"Edited Before you read the review I have to say that I’m wrong and the lovely lady that helped us was really nice. Now it took longer as they were short staffed. I also did said (estas mamadas) which was wrong on my part. The place has good food and great staff. Feb, 25 2025 I have been to this place twice, I got there at 11:35 the order 1 crepe, 1 sandwich, 1 order of chilaquiles The place was prob half full, i took almost an hour for the dry chilaquiles we are still waiting for a sandwich… 12:33 got the chilaquiles 12:35 got the sandwich Had to send the chilaquiles back!!! 10 minutes later they are back and made they way they are supposed to be done they were good. My experience may be different than others please support the place and the great team of employees."

"This place has really gone downhill. I visited on Saturday with my family, and as we were about to be seated, two waitresses started arguing right in front of us. From there, service was slower than usual. It took a long time just to get our waitress’s attention for drinks, and it was obvious something else was going on since several staff members were just standing at the front. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t improve. Our waitress seemed unhappy and never checked on us, only returning when it was time to ask if we were ready for the check. Service here has always been hit or miss, but the food used to make up for it. That’s no longer the case. The potatoes were flavorless, the café de olla was overly sweet, and the beans were too salty. We always felt the prices were reasonable, but after this experience, my family and I will be looking for a new breakfast spot."
