"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This place is an absolute gem! The café and dessert bar itself is adorable, but what really sets it apart is the outstanding customer service. Marco and Max went above and beyond to make our visit special—friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind from start to finish. They took the time to make recommendations and made us feel so welcome. You can tell they truly care about the experience, not just the order. The desserts were delicious, the atmosphere was cozy, and the service was next-level. Thin min martini, cannoli, and red velvet cake was 10/10. We’ll definitely be back—especially for Marco and Max’s amazing hospitality. Highly recommend! 🍰🍸"

"Expect to arrive with wide eyes and depart in a state of perfectly fulfilled, induced surrender. Flawless execution. 5/5 stars. Stopped in after dinner and loved it so much we came back the next day. The variety is diverse and there has to be something that will tantalize your pallette. Pro tip: there is a parking deck close by on Cumberland St."

"What a fantastic experience! Lovely place, lovely vibe, delicious sandwich and desserts. We wanted some hot wine...and one of the fantastic server ladies created a hot wine and tea mix. It was fabulous! What a wonderful, welcoming spot Carmella's Cafe is, thank you!"

"While visiting Charleston, came here for after-dinner dessert & coffee a couple nights. First night I had the Tiramisu, house coffee with shot of baileys and finished with an old fashioned. Everything was very good and service was excellent. Second night had the Key Lime pie and a cappuccino. However, there were a lot of grounds in the coffee. I did show the bartender and he promptly took care of it. Overall, a great option for after dinner, late night coffee, dessert or night cap! Good location and vibe. Service was also very friendly and attentive."

"If I could give this amazing place 10 stars I would. If you are visiting Charleston you must stop here and order the chocolate fudge cake in fact bring several home with you on the plane. These was the best cake I ever had."
