    I tried this place for the first time with a couple of friends. When I looked up the place online, I saw that it's a chain with several locations. We noticed that they have a pretty extensive menu for a coffee shop, but they do close at 3pm (at least the Pompano location). Their website says their hours are 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM -7 days/week. You order and pay on a computer that's on the counter. I'm not a tech person, but was able to do this easily, with just one question that my friend was able to answer. It asked what your place holder was, and they have different place holders to choose from like Dolly Parton and other famous actors. I ordered a croissant with egg, cheese, and bacon. It was a good size and quite tasty, and was approximately $12 and change. They of course, have a tip option or obligation as most places do these days. The place felt cozy, and had a sofa and some tables with chairs. They played music, but it wasn't too distracting when you are talking, if I was trying to study, it may have been. Overall, my friends and i liked the place and would come here again.

    Cute space for a coffee shop. The breakfast egg sandwiches were good- something so simple but hard to find and the coffees were good as well. The coffee cake was my least favorite. The Nutella croissant wasn't too bad just too much Nutella for me which is kind of weird for me to say bc I love Nutella. It is overpriced though, all these up charges sneak up on you and it's not mentioned when you're ordering. It was our first time here but when I looked at the itemized receipt I realized how things quickly added up. Good place to meet up or even study if you don't need absolute quiet.

    As soon as you walk in you notice the relaxing decor. However, when I walked in the staff didn't greet us but Geovana was very sweet once I spoke to her. I ordered from the monitor but noticed that the customization option was wayy more expensive than the pre selected option. However, I customized a toast almost the same way as the pre selected option and it cost $20 but when I selected the pre selected option it came out to be $12. I choose the pre selected option to save on the orders. My mom ordered the avocado toast with a cappuccino for a drink. She said that she liked her order. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich with the tiramisu latte. I did enjoy the sandwich and it gets you super full. The tiramisu latte was good but it wasn't as sweet as I wanted it to be. For dessert my mom ordered the Nutella croissant and I ordered the blueberry muffin. This place was very relaxing. This food was ok and I wish my drink had cold foam and a bit sweeter. The parking is free and near the restaurant.

    I love this place. Fairly quiet ambiance and very nicely decorated inside. Friendly service staff. The food and drinks were awesome. Had a specialty coffee along with snack. Met up with a couple of friends and the seating were comfortable and we stayed for over an hour. Overall, a very nice experience.

    Toasted Marshmallow Latte

    Carmel's is one of my go to coffee shops. The staff here is very sweet. The services quick and the coffees are always on point. I've been loving the seasonal toasted marshmallow latte. It's very delicious and not too sweet. The cold foam is marshmallow flavored. The presentation of the coffee is great as well

    Cute cafe with a nice couch area and games. The vanilla cold brew was strong. They have salad and pastry options. It was busy at noon on a Tuesday with not many available tables. Free parking is available in the lot right out front.

    Carrot cake and super fruity tea

    I really like Carmela Coffee Pompano, is one of my favorite places!! had a super fruity tea (I think that's what it's called) and a cake slice, everything was amazingg and full of flavor. Also the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive! Actually it is a must-visit for anyone!

    Matcha! Yum! Pricey but good. Great date spot.

    Excellent coffee and light breakfast spot. A bit pricey but on par with Starbucks! Pretty presentation, decent service. Not quick as it's hand made. Good to study, read, saw several folks with laptops working. It's not super quiet but definitely good dates, meeting, chat spot. Some outdoor seating! It's not large, so I could see seating getting hard to find. We went at 8am!

    The scrambled eggs looked like a toddler made them. Its not hard to do scrambled eggs. I was pretty disappointed in how they came out. I was on limited time so I let it go.

    The girls at the desk were so helpful. I asked their favorite drinks on the menu and they guided me based on my preferences. The toast was delicious. I did not expect it to be so big, so loaded, so thick and stunning. The croissant was also plenty and filling and the flavors of both dishes work together perfectly. It has a comfortable honey feel, with a cute look.

    Iced coffee, black, nothing needed

    I love the coffee and food, as well as smoothly here at Carmela Coffee Company on Pompano Beach! The coffee is always strong but smooth, and I drink it black, hot or iced. While I didn't have anything to eat today, I will say that the sandwiches, salads, flatbreads, and snacks are large sized portions and yummy. I highly recommend their avocado toasts. They are delicious and large enough for 2!

    I love their coffee, toasts, omelets and the overall vibe of the location. We always have a good time at Carmela and are very happy we found this place!

    I had a wonderful brunch at South Bar & Grill in Pompano this past Sunday with four friends. Making…read morean 11:00 a.m. reservation online was quick and easy. We chose to sit inside because of the heat, although the outdoor seating area looked beautiful as well. When we arrived, the restaurant was still pretty quiet, and we were seated right away. For brunch, they offer either a $49 brunch package with a wide variety of items or an à la carte menu. Our server let us know that everyone at the table has to choose the same brunch option, so we all went with à la carte. I ordered the sweet potato waffles, and they were absolutely delicious! One of my friends had the poached eggs with fried green tomatoes, and my other two friends ordered the egg sandwiches with hash browns. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and checked on us throughout our meal. The décor is beautiful, with dark green tones that create a stylish, inviting atmosphere. The only thing that felt a little unusual was someone coming around taking photos of diners and then offering them for purchase, but we simply declined. By around noon, the restaurant had become much busier, which speaks to its popularity. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back for brunch again!

    I recently visited South Bar & Kitchen for their Old School Saturday Supper event, and while the…read moreatmosphere had its highlights, the overall dining experience left me wanting more. The restaurant is located in Pompano Beach with both street parking and several nearby parking lots, which made parking fairly easy. That said, the surrounding area felt a little sketchy, and as a woman, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable walking around alone at night. The restaurant itself is cute, casual, and inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The event was held outside, where DJs kept the crowd entertained with a great mix of hip-hop, R&B, and old-school classics. The music was definitely one of the highlights of the night. Because the humidity was unbearable, even after the sun went down, I chose to sit inside for dinner before heading out to enjoy the event. Unfortunately, the service wasn't great. I understand they were likely busier than usual because of the event, but our waiter wasn't very attentive. He told us to flag him down if we needed anything, which isn't exactly what you expect when dining out. Our drinks took about 20 minutes to arrive, and although we were told the bar was backed up, they ended up tasting mostly like juice with very little alcohol. For appetizers, we ordered the crab beignets. They were just okay, but the mustard dipping sauce was actually really delicious and probably my favorite part of the dish. My friend ordered the fried chicken sandwich, and I had the shrimp Caesar salad. The salad came with much more dressing than I prefer, making it a bit overwhelming. My friend thought her sandwich was decent, but unfortunately it didn't sit well with her stomach the following day. After dinner, we headed outside to enjoy the party. The outdoor deck is built around a beautiful tree and offers plenty of seating, along with a separate outdoor bar, which created a fun atmosphere. One thing that stood out, though, was how slippery the deck was. At first I thought it might have been my shoes, but after hearing several other people mention the same thing, it seemed like I wasn't the only one who noticed. Overall, the entertainment and outdoor atmosphere were enjoyable, but I wouldn't return for dinner. The menu is fairly limited, and with fewer options, I expected each dish to really stand out. Unfortunately, the food and service just didn't live up to those expectations. If you're looking for good music and a fun Saturday night vibe, the event is worth checking out, but I wouldn't go for the dining experience alone.

We managed to slide in just in time for happy hour, so the wife kicked things off right with a great cocktail. To keep the kids happy while we looked over the menu, we started with the mozzarella sticks and corn dog poppers. Both were total crowd-pleasers--crispy, melty, and didn't last long on the table. For the mains, the family spread was a massive success. The kids went with the classics: a juicy cheeseburger with golden fries, and crispy chicken tenders with perfectly fried tater tots. Both got total nods of approval. The wife and I went the salad route, ordering the Cobb salad and the Caesar salad, both topped with blackened chicken. Let me tell you, that blackened seasoning is the real deal here! It gave both salads a smoky, savory punch that elevated the whole meal. At the end of the day, Legends serves up **classic bar food done absolutely right**. The vibe is fun, the food is unpretentious and delicious, and the service was on point. It's a fantastic, reliable spot that I'd highly recommend to anyone in the area. We will definitely be back on future visits!

So we went at 7pm on a Wednesday. What's playing on TV was not available, was told to use QR code, so easy peasy. So the counter staff was pleasantly, we ordered: rabbit hole salad and the patty melt to go. Maybe should be eaten there, right away. Didn't stand up to a quick ride home. BOTH meals looked sad and not worth $50, as was $20 each, gave $3 tip for to go. Probably won't return! It's probably great for vegans who don't require quality or taste, just gut it out to remain vegan. Salad had no flavor really, it was " overdressed", just kale dressed in an underwhelming sauce. Tons of it where it was soggy. Chips of fake chicken I guess, that was flavorless. Partners patty melt was just so so. I'm sad! You ever wanted to really like something, so you force it. We love going to local spots to support folks but we demand excellence. I wasn't expecting Coopers HAWK, but wanted some flavor. It's like not even as good as Whole Foods, which is pricey like this but good. Patty melt was average, and not worth $20. The onions saved it, but too expensive for us. Fries were limp, not well made. Now I will say, we do go to dives, so we didn't need Sonness (by the way Sonness is beyond fab!). So, we can do " dive vegan" but we cant do expensive average. It survives because often the beach crowds are too tipsy or high to care, or average is OK due to being snowbirds. Im sure these reviews aren't fake, so will chop this up to a bad night for the cooks! Stop by if you are vegan, committed to this lifestyle, then its good enough. We are in good shape medically, have more allegiance to our wallet than a movement. My partner makes great, fresh salads, so I can stay home for below average greens. But if you are committed and need to just get out, try it. I think a vegan frozen meal, Amy's is better. The salad wasn't horrible, just not worth the price. $20 for soggy, no flavor. Nope! I need flavor, price, freshness mix. Also they could do better with the ambiance. When you walk up, it seemed sad. It was empty, but zero personality. They need some music, it was quiet, somewhat moodless! Even dives have a little music. Rabbits have music LOL! Wish them luck! They have been around a while, so maybe they had better days! Why show stuff on TV that's not offered, pretty photos but disappointing for us. Good news, they are surrounded by great things, Italian to the right, Max to the left, pizza to the left. And Foundry at the end of other side! Partner ate half burger,trashed it. I ate 1/4 salad, trash. $50 in the garbage. I gotta laugh as we sat in our couch, we walked in and after 10 min, the energy felt off to me. We read the menu first. I said to my mate, "let's go elsewhere" after staff said, don't have this or that. My mate said, lets see. I went along. Intuition is never wrong! Trust yout gut, give it a try! Maybe tonight was just an off night! Go try it! Maybe it will be better for you! Im sure those reviews are real but maybe that real cook was off, amd we ended up with the no talent crew!

    Very disappointing experience…read more We arrived for lunch with a group of 8 people and, from the moment we walked in, the hostess made us feel like she was doing us a favor by seating us. She repeatedly told us she was "making an exception" for our party. Then she lectured us about having to sit at two separate tables with two separate checks. What really crossed the line was when she said, "If I see you passing food between tables, we'll stop serving you." That comment was unnecessary, disrespectful, and completely inappropriate. We were paying customers, not asking for free food or special treatment. There's a time and place to explain restaurant policies, but the way they were communicated made us feel unwelcome before we had even ordered. Hospitality is about making guests feel valued, and unfortunately, that was completely missing here. We chose to leave rather than spend our money somewhere we clearly didn't feel wanted. There are plenty of restaurants that appreciate their customers, and we'll be supporting those instead.

Parking was conveniently located right in front of the restaurant, making it an easy stop. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit wherever we liked. We chose a table near the window and immediately appreciated the intimate and charming atmosphere. The restaurant also features a bar and televisions, creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. Our waitress was pleasant, attentive, and made us feel right at home, which always enhances the dining experience. Although we weren't extremely hungry, the menu had so many appealing options that we decided to sample a few items. We started with the Caribbean Tea shots, which were unique, refreshing, and surprisingly enjoyable. For drinks, we ordered a Malbec and a Peanut Butter Old Fashioned. Our first entrée was the Churrasco Frites, featuring marinated skirt steak topped with chimichurri and served with twister fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, but those fries were the true star of the dish. Still wanting more, we ordered the Garlic Parmesan Twice Cooked Wings. They were nicely prepared and satisfying, though I would have enjoyed a stronger garlic flavor. Not quite finished, we moved on to the Oaxaca Burger, an 8 ounce burger stacked with onion rings, bacon jam, house BBQ sauce, and Oaxaca cheese. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and possibly the best. The bun was toasted yet soft, the burger was seasoned perfectly, and it was cooked to a juicy medium temperature. Every bite was packed with flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was excellent, and the service and atmosphere made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

To their credit, the staff handled it very professionally and took it back without any issue, which I appreciated. The rest of the table had a much better experience with their meals. The steak and salads especially got good reviews from everyone and looked very well prepared. Even though my dish missed the mark, the service and atmosphere were solid enough that I'd still consider giving eTwic another try in the future. Sometimes one item just doesn't hit, and there were definitely enough positives about the restaurant to make me curious to come back and try something different next time. I know that one friend at the table really enjoys this place so I must believe that she has good taste!
