    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.

    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!

    Decided to come in for a quick breakfast before running errands while in town. The service was quick and great. The cashier was very helpful when we had a couple of questions with this being our first time in. While this is a cafe the food offerings are amazing and there's enough variety for everyone to find something they enjoy. My friend got a sandwich on a croissant and it was a great portion. They do dice the bacon so your our bound to get some in every bite. I had a chicken and a chorizo empanada and loved them. They were hot through with a nice crunchy crust. My iced latte was also amazing abd the espresso was flavorful. This is a great casual breakfast that can work for the whole family although seating can seem limited during peak times so it is not great for large groups.

    Place is amazing but how does a coffee shop open at 8:00am is mind boggling. Would be a daily spot for me if they opened earlier.

    GO SOUTH! Actually we went north to Pompano Beach for lunch on a Thursday. We had heard that the…read moreweekends are packed especially Sunday brunch. When we arrived it was pleasantly chill. The lovely hostess guided us to a booth by a window. We were greeted by our equally lovely server Jazmin (sp?). Btw, she rocks! Upon perusing the lunch menu we jumped at the deviled eggs appetizer. These beauties were two beet stained eggs cut in half topped with a spicy yolk filling and garnished with scallions, chicken skin crunch and trout roe. OH MY! My dear friend and dining companion was leaning towards a salad but we put on our thinking caps and decided that the fried chicken entree, which was accompanied by two sides and a biscuit was the best bang for our taste buds. And indeed it was. She ordered two pieces with greens and mac + cheese while I chose three pieces (thinking ahead to lunch tomorrow) plus the mac chz plus sweet potato soufflé (that was Thanksgiving babe!). The chicken was fresh out of the fryer and we had nothing but praise for the sides. To top it off...Nanner Puddin'! Just like mom made but no Jello pudding here. Amazing. Since it was a weekday, we got to meet the chef and give kudos. (He's a happy dude) I wouldn't care to come here on the weekend when it's packed but I can see why folks do. The place is enormous with a huge outside venue and a sprawling banyan tree. Plus the Sunday brunch menu is tempting. But for a chill lunch with nice employees and scrumptious food on a Thursday, we were star struck and satisfied.

    Came here for Mother's Day with a reservation and got seated right away. I loved the aesthetic --…read morethe green and gold decor was really pretty, and surprisingly it wasn't too packed for a Sunday around 4:45 PM. I also really liked how spacious the restaurant felt. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a cute outdoor bar area with stools where you can eat and hang out, which gave the place a really nice vibe. The music was a great mix of R&B and oldies too. Now let's talk service... for me, service is everything, and unfortunately that's what made this experience disappointing. Our waitress, Haley, was pretty inattentive throughout the meal. We asked for extra Caesar dressing and never got it, and it was honestly hard to get a hold of her most of the time. Because of that alone, I'd probably think twice before coming back. As for the food -- it was hit or miss. We started with the wings as an appetizer. They were flavorful, but nothing memorable. I'd probably skip them next time and try something else. I ordered the crispy Cobb salad because it sounded amazing on the menu, but it was a letdown. It was mostly lettuce with barely any chicken, and I had to mix the whole salad myself. At a restaurant, I kind of expect a Cobb salad to come already tossed together. Also... no blue cheese available? Come on now lol. My boyfriend got the fried chicken with sweet potato fries and mac & cheese. I will say, everything came out HOT, so you can tell the food is made fresh. The mac & cheese didn't look impressive at first, but it tasted SO good. The sweet potato fries were delicious too. My sister ordered the lobster pasta, and honestly the portion size shocked me in the best way. They were generous with the lobster, which almost never happens, and she loved it. My daughter got the crispy chicken sandwich and said it was the best sandwich she's ever had, so that was definitely a win. Overall, the food itself wasn't bad at all -- my salad was just a flop. If the service had been better, this review probably would've been very different. Not sure if I'd come back, but maybe on a different day with a different server.

We were shocked to be told that they "do not allow strollers" anywhere inside or outside the restaurant. Our baby cannot sit on his own yet, so a stroller is absolutely necessary. We even tried to compromise and asked if we could sit in the bar area instead, but they still declined to accommodate us. As a result, we were completely turned away despite having a reservation. This restaurant is clearly not kid-friendly, and the lack of flexibility or empathy from the staff was extremely disappointing. Customer service like this is unacceptable, especially for families with infants. We won't be returning.

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!
