    Espresso - Strong! Gets 'er done!
    Jala C.

    My husband loves coming to this small coffee shop off Atlantic Blvd. in the heart of Pompano Beach. It's filled with local Italians (mostly men) who are very passionate (they are not fighting as some believe...LOL). They speak mostly Italian here but you can find English speakers. Peter behind the counter is really nice and you can tell a lot of locals frequent the place. They have really good coffee and it's really strong. We love coming here for the coffee and the atmosphere. It's like you are in Italy on a sunny morning. They serve croissants and I have seen some eggs/bacon/toast being cooked but there isn't really a menu. You just have to ask. Very homey Italian vibe. CASH ONLY!

    Latte & cannoli

    Amazing hospitality and service. We ordered a latte, cappuccino, and cannolis. Everything was fresh and made to order. The cannoli was the best I've ever had. I felt welcomed and even had a great conversation with the owners.

    *Cash Only!* Reading fellow Yelpers reviews is what made me bookmark this spot, and I'm sure glad I did! Before I even walked in the door, I knew we were at a good place. Locals (likely of the Italian-American variety) were sitting at a couple of small outdoor tables playing cards, smoking cigars, and gossiping. Inside was another game of cards as well as a poker game in the back room (that I could only get a glimpse of). People were friendly and made small-talk. We each ordered a single shot of espresso by the counter and they came out in the appropriate-sized servings/cups. I added just a touch of sugar and took my first taste. Yes! So good! Not a hint of bitterness. Smooth. Wonderful. So wonderful, that we went back the next day before going to the airport. The only thing that really surprised us was that the guy running the place didn't know what an affogatto was! He was really interested though so perhaps he will soon add this to his offerings. Enjoy!

No way this stuff wasn't pre-made a while ago. Oh yeah, part of a banana and one strawberry. Despite what the waiter said, I could tell everything was pre-made. It's about the same quality as the free "continental breakfast" most cheap hotels offer except at the hotel it's still warm and you get refills on coffee and the waffle is freshly made and hot enough to melt butter. No free refills on coffee here unless you buy their "pour over," and then you get one small refill. The strainer for the coffee was stained and filthy when it was brought out, so they're not using fresh ones or even cleaning thoroughly between uses. GF had a meatless omelet and a smoothie. Her omelet was hot so obviously it was made fresh unlike mine. I told the waiter my food was cold and he swore he saw them "take it out of the oven," but nothing I ordered would be cooked in any over other than a microwave oven. Total bill for two: $60+. This was with a 30% discount on my plate for my food being served cold. Honestly you'll have a better, fresher meal at IHOP or Waffle House or Denny's, for a fraction of the price and you'll get coffee refills.

I tried a few pastries and loved how buttery, soft, and flavorful they were. If you're a bakery lover, this part alone makes the visit worthwhile. The desserts and pastries feel a bit upscale, and you can expect about a 15-20% price bump compared to similar cafés. The space itself is small, and it's really more of a grab‑and‑go spot than a place to sit and relax. There's no free tap water, so you're required to purchase bottled drinks, which may be a downside for some. The service was somewhat slow, though the staff was attentive once they engaged. However, the overall vibe wasn't very welcoming. A few long‑time customers seemed frustrated and even got up to complain after being ignored for a while, which was noticeable. Yummy pastries. Didn't see any stellar food. Our food was just average. We felt Café Brie on Atlantic had better food, but Chez has great pastries. Because of the limited seating, lack of water, and the uneven service experience, I'm not sure I'd choose to dine in. The drive‑thru or takeout might be the better option for enjoying their fresh baked goods without the wait.

High-quality coffee made from the company's Costa Rican farm-to-cup beans. Excellent all-day brunch menu featuring avocado toasts, shakshuka, breakfast croissants, açaí bowls, salads, and artisan pastries. Friendly staff and a warm, inviting atmosphere are frequently mentioned by guests. Popular menu items Vanilla Cinnamon Latte Matcha Latte Salmon & Cream Cheese Toast Burrata & Prosciutto Avocado Toast Shakshuka Croissant Breakfast Sandwich Oreo Donut and fresh pastries Things to keep in mind Prices are a little higher than a typical coffee shop, especially once add-ons are included. During busy mornings, seating can fill up quickly. While most guests praise the coffee, a few reviewers feel some espresso drinks can be inconsistent or not strong enough for their taste. Best for Specialty coffee Brunch and healthy breakfast Remote work or studying (Wi-Fi and comfortable seating) Casual coffee dates or catching up with friends If you're in the Pompano Beach area and want more than just a cup of coffee, Carmela is one of the better choices.

I've been coming here for almost 10 years, and it's always been one of my favorite breakfast spots. Unfortunately, the service today was disappointing. My server seemed rushed rather than attentive. I understand it was busy, but when care is rushed, mistakes happen just like in my own line of work. My drink was dropped off without pausing to see if I needed anything, not even a straw. When the oatmeal arrived, it was full of walnuts, had only a few berries, no bananas, and the milk was forgotten. The presentation was poor overall. To their credit, the waiter kindly removed it from the bill since I didn't eat it. When I went to pay, I was asked about the service and honestly shared that I wasn't happy. The manager then insisted on not charging me for the meal. I told her it wasn't necessary we all need to make a living but she insisted and thanked me for the feedback. What has always made this place great isn't just the food, but the service. Yes, it's a busy location, but guests still deserve attentiveness making sure they have everything before rushing off. Don't just drop the food and disappear; check in and make sure the guest is taken care of. Thank you to the manager who helped me today. Your kindness truly mattered. Because of you, I will definitely give this place another try.
