    Coffee and juice is the way to start the day though the juice is not fresh squeezed
    Jonathan B.

    This place is a hidden gem, small and disguised as a coffee shop, but it's a yummy place to eat too!! With a few tables outside and more inside you can come and enjoy a great meal with terrific service too.

    Super cute, cozy coffee shop. I had their lavender and white mocha iced coffee and it was SOOO good!! My mom and I shared a slice of their cinnamon coffee cake which was soft, crumbly and deliciously sweet. They give you a sign to bring your order to the table if they don't serve you straight from the counter and the cake didn't take long to arrive. I love finding unique coffee shops with a variety of options for when I need a caffeinated bevy! Too bad this one is so far away, because I'd be a regular if it were closer!

    Love this place. Nicest people.

    Always a treat coming here. Wonderful loyalty program, great management too. Been coming here for 2+ years & they make THE best iced mochas anywhere. Delicious avocado toast too!

    Always enjoy going here except this time the music was so loud at 11:00 a.m. on a Wednesday that you couldn't even hear the person you were sitting with at your table. So we had to move outside. I brought my skim cappuccino with me and sat and talked to my friend where we could hear each other. I still like the vibe here - you can bring your laptop and work on it at the table. The big water jug needed to be refilled so I told the manager and the restroom was filthy (there was water all over the floor). Usually it is kept in a better manner. The employees are very friendly and helpful so that's very positive.

    That first sip of coffee was absolute HEAVEN!! So creamy and such a smooth flavor! We stopped by here close to closing and ordered a few lattes. Service was quick and friendly and myyyy goodness can they make a great latte! If they weren't about to close we would've ordered back up lattes for when we finished the first ones. We also got a muffin which they heated and it was DELICIOUS! On the way out I had to grab a T-shirt- because who doesn't LOVE coffee shop T-shirts?! Especially for only $12! Wish this place was near me but very glad we had a chance to try them!

    Fantastic coffee shop gem in the heart of East Boca. Visited on a Friday morning to celebrate the weekend early. We ordered a ton of family style food and drinks and enjoyed almost 2 hours of company and great ambiance at Carmela Coffee Boca. Lovely setting, all the food came out on real plates & cute chopped wood serveware, clean environment, friendly staff, delicious foodie menu. 5 stars for the delicious food and fun/pretty ambiance. 1 Prosciutto & Swiss Cheese Croissant 1 The Queen Avocado Toast 1 Crispy Bacon & Brie Panini 1 Nutella Croissant 1 Almond Croissant 1 Spinach & Cheese Empanada 1 Brewed Coffee 1 Lavendar Iced Latte 1 Hazelnut Ice Latte 1 Minute Maid Apple Juice

    I came with my mom on a Sunday for the first time. We were excited to try a new place. Being an iced coffee lover, I was a little disappointed with my coffee. It may have just been the way I ordered, so I will give it another shot. The avocado toast was delicious and made up for what my coffee lacked. It's a cute place and there were a lot of people studying. The prices are a bit steep but it is Boca.

    To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I ordered pick up and asked for the Breakfast Avocado Toast which in other photos you can see comes with cheese and bacon and a poached egg. I asked for sunny side up instead which I was told they couldn't do. So I asked for scrambled. When I opened the container with the toast, I was shocked. No cheese, no bacon, and the egg looks like the egg you get for free breakfast from a Days Inn. On top of all of that, no taste. No seasoning. Not even salt. Forgot to mention the hot chocolate tastes like soap. For how expensive this was, I won't ever go back to this location. The Ft. Lauderdale location was much better. Unfortunately, I can't recommend.

    Very friendly staff. Offered 10% off when you sign up for your first purchase. Drink was yummy!

    Really delicious spot but $$$ for treats and coffee. It was worth it though. The prosciutto and Swiss cheese croissant was lovely. I wouldn't get the queen avocado toast again, it was okay but that's on me for ordering avocado toast in Boca. Both the Nutella and Almond croissant were delightful. All coffees were perfect. Nice spot if meeting for friends in Boca and have a chat with your coffee and breakfast.

    Comfy & Chill area with good energy!

    It's a relaxed, pristine, fun vibe. I'm enjoying a delicious Super Fruity Tea. I'm getting caught up on some work and enjoy the ambiance its a nice balance of energy.

    This used to be a R1 coffee. Now it is Carmela Coffee Company, and they have really brought their menu and drink selection up a notch, let alone their seating selection and power outlets. I will need to return to try one of their panini sandwiches or avocado toast options because they sounded awesome per the description. They have a lot of tables and seating to hang with friends, work remotely, study, contemplate existence, record in your diary, read a book, plan world domination, and more. I enjoyed their lemonade tea beverage that was super refreshing. Especially where I had been having coffee all day, this beverage was a nice change of pace. I applaud this business and will return when I'm in the area again.

The only negative thing I have to say was that the music was painstakingly loud that I could barely hear my mom and she was sitting right in front of me at the table. It was also super cold inside on a day in Florida where it was in the 30-40s range of temps outside. Overall, I would love to come back to try the coldbrew! Additionally, they had a cute winter seasonal menu that I would want to come back for.

The staff was so so sweet, when I ordered they even asked if I wanted extra paradise sauce (who doesn't want extra??) 10/10 no notes.

Near Mizner Park, VI Coffee is tucked in a small plaza but it's serving major vibes. This dog and baby-friendly spot is one of Boca's top coffee shops for a reason. You walk inside and are greeted by delicious pastries. Though the inside isn't huge, there are a few high tops and a long table with bar stools lining the front window. Outside, you'll find a turf-covered yard with a couple of tables and chairs. On weekends it gets busy, so I recommend getting here early if you're planning on dining in. The drinks we ordered: - Seasonal gingerbread iced latte, which was probably one of the best gingerbread lattes I've had. The drink was topped with cinnamon cold foam and a piece of gingerbread-flavored cake. - Lutinni iced latte with chocolate and hazelnut perfect for chocolate lovers! It comes with a Ferrero Rocher. The food: - avocado toast - kept it simple this time around but this toast never disappoints. It's fresh and the bread is crispy - and the guacamole is topped with a fancy flower garnish. - VI also has pastries, other breakfast sandwiches and plenty of lunch wraps and sandwiches.

"Oh my god- they have the fruit that's going viral on TikTok. We have to try it!" I'm not one to say no to a 15 year old for anything that's going viral on TikTok so stepped inside this adorable cafe and placed an order for the viral mango. I almost passed out when they rang me up for $18 for a tiny dessert, but I guess it is famous. They put it on a plate at the register and when I reached for it said "oh we'll bring it to you." Perhaps the handing of the pastry is part of the $18 fee. We found a table and 30 seconds later the infamous mango appeared in front of us. It took us about 3 minutes to eat and it was tasty- a hard shell, mango inside and maybe some custard. We both decided it was very good, but not $18 good. I"m glad we tried it, but I probably wouldn't get the viral fruit again for the price alone. However, I did find this cafe to be adorable and would stop back in here the next time I'm in Atlantic Avenue for other treats. Hopefully the non viral pastries aren't priced quite as high.
