"I was looking for a quiet spot to get some work done on a Saturday morning, and this cafe came highly recommended. It's a busy little place, offering a solid cafe menu, coffee, and reliable Wi-Fi. The owners are hands-on, helping out behind the counter and supporting staff with clean-up, which makes the space feel welcoming and well-run. Being in a shopping center, parking is available but can be limited depending on the time of day. The inside is small, but the layout works well for small groups. They have conference-style tables, high tops, and charging ports. During the festive season, the cozy decor adds a cheerful touch. The staff were approachable and helpful, answering our questions clearly. They serve all-day brunch, sandwiches, flatbreads, salads, and bowls, so there's something for everyone. My friend tried the omelet with toast and really enjoyed it. I went for the Carmela pancake. Honestly, I expected a bit more for $14. It was a small cornbread skillet topped with strawberries, blueberries, granola, and maple syrup. It looked great, but I felt it wasn't worth the price; a sandwich might have been a better choice, but the staff had recommended this. We also had a small misunderstanding where I was charged for both dishes as we discussed options, but the staff were prompt in correcting it and issuing a refund. Drinks included a Matcha and a Tiramisu, with dairy-free options available. The coffee was rich and smooth. I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but I genuinely enjoyed it. Overall, the cafe has a relaxed, cozy vibe. It's the kind of place where you can work, catch up with friends, there was even a small group having Bible study on the patio. Where food meets adventure see you back at the table! IG: @ShallonzTable"

"Carmela Coffee is one of our favorite spots in Parkland. My son has breakfast there at least once a week, and it’s become a special part of our routine. I absolutely love their coffee — rich, smooth, and always perfectly made. I often come with my friends to enjoy a relaxing morning together. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. It’s the perfect place to start the day, whether for a quick coffee or a long chat with good company. ☕"

"Carmela Coffee is my go-to spot for coffee and breakfast, though they offer an impressive selection of food all day. The customer service is outstanding—Santiago, in particular, is fantastic. He recognizes repeat customers and often has my to-go order ready immediately. The environment is warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax. I highly recommend Carmela Coffee."

"I think this is the most awesome Carmela Coffee shop I've been, the ice caramel coffee was great and the service was great. The owner gave us a warming hello, she's great and fluent in Spanish. The dirty chai was also amazing. If you got light work to do or study it's a great place. Thank you and will definitely come back for coffee."

"We love Carmela’s ☕️!! Drinks are always good. Best avocado toast in Broward County and extra points because it’s my high school kiddos favorite place to study! ❤️ My bestie and I try and grab Sunday coffee after church and download the week. Thank you for providing a safe and inviting space for all the locals!"
