Carmela Parkland Parkland Reviews
Carmela Coffee is one of our favorite spots in Parkland. My son has breakfast there at least once a week, and it’s become a special part of our routine. I absolutely love their coffee — rich, smooth, and always perfectly made. I often come with my friends to enjoy a relaxing morning together. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. It’s the perfect place to start the day, whether for a quick coffee or a long chat with good company. ☕
Carmela Coffee is my go-to spot for coffee and breakfast, though they offer an impressive selection of food all day. The customer service is outstanding—Santiago, in particular, is fantastic. He recognizes repeat customers and often has my to-go order ready immediately. The environment is warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax. I highly recommend Carmela Coffee.
I think this is the most awesome Carmela Coffee shop I've been, the ice caramel coffee was great and the service was great. The owner gave us a warming hello, she's great and fluent in Spanish. The dirty chai was also amazing. If you got light work to do or study it's a great place. Thank you and will definitely come back for coffee.
Great coffee, loved the space, the couch area inside is gorgeous feels like a home. Also everyone was super nice, thanks Alonso y Santiago for making my day brighter.
Amazing atmosphere!!! Food is always fresh and one of the best coffees in town. Service is amazing, Carolina, Santiago, Regina, Monica , Jacob, Angela, Amanda, Senora Cruz, Lucas and Bruno are the best team. They are always so attentive and remember our likes. We love Parkland location. One of my favorite is the Carrot and Ginger soup with a side of pita bread. Highly recommended!!!

We love Carmela’s ☕️!! Drinks are always good.

Carmela’s is such a great place to get some work done, catch up with friends, or just grab some coffee and food. All the staff are welcoming and Luis and Alonso make the best food.
Great coffee! The food and service are wonderful. Went on New Year's eve with family and everything looked and tasted so good we forgot to take pictures.
A very atmospheric cafe, a great place to meet with friends, work on a laptop or just enjoy a cup of coffee with pleasant music! I sincerely recommend it! 🫶
Amazing service and such a nice ambience! Great place to take family and friends on a coffee date. Props to Monica the manager for her amazing service! She’s not just someone who stays behind the scenes but really interacts with the customers and makes us feel welcomed!
Love coming here after a long run / bike ride. Consistent service and great food 🥘
Great coffee, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. Perfect spot to relax or get some work done. I’ll definitely be back!
Carmela is a true gem of a coffee shop. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, but what really makes this place special is the service. The team here genuinely cares about their customers, and it shows in every interaction. A special mention has to go to Bruno — he’s the star of Carmela. Not only does he make an incredible cup of coffee, but he brings an energy and attentiveness that makes you feel like more than just a customer. His passion for what he does elevates the whole experience, and it’s clear that a big part of Carmela’s charm comes from him.
I come here so frequently and everyone EVERY-TIME is so sweet and nice. The coffee is so much better than other places and the food is perfect, so good! I never feel rushed and can sit here with my laptop working. I cannot say better things for a place to hang, ESPECIALLY everyone who works here.
Carmela’s Coffee in Parkland is a hidden gem! The coffees and menu are amazing. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup or enjoying some downtime, it’s the perfect spot. Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for great coffee and a cozy vibe!
We got an Americano an Expresso, a Blue Berry Muffin and an Almond Crousant. Everything was delicious. The place is very welcoming and makes you feel like you want to hang out all day reading a book while having snacks. The sandwichs looked amazing. Wish we hadnt just ate lunch as I would love to try more things here. Im sure everything is delicious.
This place had an absolutely amazing vibe! The employees were very friendly, and they recommended the best food and drinks! I loved the seating availability and options as well. The food (chicken sandwich) tasted absolutely delicious! And the highlight for me was their scrumptious Nutella croissant 🥐 😍 it was so tasty!! Me and my girlfriend were quite pleased with our experience! We’ll be back for sure!
This coffee shop is a true retreat. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the soft chatter of people, and the gentle hum of the espresso machine all combine to create the perfect backdrop for relaxation. It’s a place where I can genuinely unplug and recharge, a special spot that feels like a warm hug. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape, this is the place. #carmelacoffeebar
Incredible place with great food, music, and atmosphere. The menu has something for everyone, with fresh, flavorful options. The music creates a relaxed vibe, and the cozy atmosphere makes it perfect for hanging out, working, or enjoying a quiet break. The staff is friendly, and the overall experience always feels welcoming.
Carmela was a great find while in Parkland… the coffee was delicious, and the menu has so much to offer. We tried the pistachio croissant which was mind blowing and the banana coconut bread which probably would’ve tasted better if warmed. I will definitely be back to experience their brunch or any of the delicious items on their menu!

It was my first time coming to this cafe. Absolutely loved it. Coffee was great. Service and conversation were even better - shoutout to Alonzo and Corina!
Just moved to parkland and what a gem we found! Amazing cofeee and relish food with a cozy, boho atmosphere and caring staff! Place ps perfect for a lazy or productive morning coffee or working away :)
Best coffee shop ever! Amazing service, great wifi, yummy food, and lovely service. If I’m not home, I’m here. Such a vibe, whether you’re looking to be productive or just hang out!!
Carmela coffee Parkland has wonderful service, delicious food, and coffee. Be sure to stop in when you are visiting Parkland. The fig toast was delicious!! The salads are always fresh! I would add a photo but I ate it too fast!
Went to lunch and had difficulty choosing due to numerous beautiful options. I chose the crispy bacon and Brie sandwich. YUM! My friends had flatbread and bowls. Looked delicious. The staff is friendly and they know their product. I’ll definitely return.
Carmela at Parkland is our too go place for our Friends gatherings. Environment is super cozy…Alonzo and Bruno have helped us a lot during our last visit… they helped us the menu and were super friendly….
I’ve been coming to Camilla’s in Parkland for years one of the best coffee shops in Broward. The customer service is phenomenal. Kudos to Alonso and Monika.
Great coffee/brunch spot. Food and the vibe were awesome and so was the service, especially Alonso over there. Will definitely be coming back.
We went here for a Saturday breakfast and the service was quick. The food was tasty and even my 6 year old thought so. Highly recommend.
Very good quality food and ingredients and an even better staff! Seasonal drinks are always delicious!! As a vegetarian I am always able to find good dishes here!
This is a must visit spot if you are visiting this area the waiters are super welcoming and nice. The chocolate croissant is my personal favorite but they also sell other coffees and pastries. 100% would recommended trying this spot.
Alonso was an amazing server! always attentive to us and so sweet. love the food and atmosphere here thank you guys
Carmello’s is a great place to go at anytime of the day because no matter what you want to eat. They serve it throughout the whole day. It’s a great hang out please whether you’re with friends, family, or even just by yourself. The staff is always very nice and helpful and so is the owner. She is very sweet always smiling and trying to help out her stuff . They have so much parking it’s free and it is right. In the same plaza. I would Publix in Parkland so parking is never a problem even if it’s very busy. They have a lot of seating space outside and inside. They have a nice patio on the side of the café. It’s beautiful inside and out. They keep the place very clean. Super easy to order because they have a menu on the wall. D also have a QR code where you can scan and get their menu or you can take a paper menu. Their food and their coffee is delicious. I can’t even mean the ones I tried because we got here a lot with my family and friends but everything in your order they make fresh and it’s Super delicious.
Alonso and Bruno were amazing!! Coffee was so good and really kept the cafe clean and tidy! My fav place to go to study:)
The staff were very kind and had lot of good food recommendations and answered all questions I had about the food. Food came out fast and it was very good. Bigger portion than I expected so that was a treat! It’s a bit on the pricier side but I believe that for the service and food that you get it’s really worth it. I would come back here again and I’d recommend it to my friends too.
I had a wonderful experience at Carmela Café! Lucas made the best cappuccino I’ve ever had—absolutely perfect. Monica, the manager, was incredibly kind and welcoming; she truly made us feel at home. The food was delicious, and the coffee was simply outstanding. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Carmela Coffee in Parkland is a great spot for breakfast. I came here with my mom ; she had the breakfast croissant, and I went with a breakfast sandwich and a latte. Everything was delicious and freshly made. The staff was friendly and attentive, checking in often without being intrusive. There’s plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a comfortable place to relax and enjoy your coffee. Definitely a place I’d visit again.
This place is so cute and pretty big! I had the pleasure of speaking with Stephanie and the register and she was the sweetest person ever. She answered all my questions and gave me the best recommendations! I got a lavender latte with oat milk which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet, but delicious nonetheless. To eat, I got the burrata and pistachio on focaccia with prosciutto with Stephanie’s help and I was in heaven. The flavors complemented each other perfectly! It was everything I didn’t know I needed. I will definitely be back to spend some time.
I've been doing a Vlog on my TikTok about all the cute little coffee places in Broward County and this one by far exceeds my expectations and then we just tell you I've been to the other one in Pompano, but this one had a better atmosphere and vibe, but absolutely loved it. the food was delicious and the coffee was wonderful
Warm friendly atmosphere, staff and management always very welcoming and even remember our favorite order. Great empanadas, smoothies and all day breakfast dishes. Highly recommend if in the neighborhood!
Awesome experience, it was my first time going to this place and everything was amazing, the food, the atmosphere, the coffee and of course everything aligns with the amazing customer service, the guy at the register, Santiago, helped me a lot, his recommendations were on point as well as all of the patience he had with my group, and the sweet girl who made my coffee, Regina, was extremely sweet, her coffee was one of the best coffees I’ve ever tasted (I’m Colombian). I definitely recommend going there, the whole team makes you feel welcome and the food is top notch.
Absolutely love Carmela’s, Parkland! It’s a great experience every time and I’ve been a customer for years. They’ve recently expanded their menu and have something for everyone. I highly recommend the Chai Tea, salads and flatbreads. The service and atmosphere will draw you back for more.
Great spot! I’ve come here for coffee with my networking group, brunch with my employees, lunch with my daughter, date evening with my husband. Just the right vibe and the food and coffee is always delicious.
The place was very pretty, I loved the Christmas decorations and the food was very yummy! I got chia pudding and I thought it was pretty good. The service was good aswell, Bruno was my barista and he was kind and helpful to my questions!
LOVE IT HEREEE. the salads are so delish. The staff is so nice. Drinks are so bomb. I stay here for hours just to study lol. It’s always busy for good reason
Very cozy and comfortable place with a very delicious food, especially breakfast. I really love this place not only for food but also for the staff with a smile greeting you at the door. Nice job, guys. Keep up your great work and make the people around you so happy.
This cafe is amazing! Fantastic coffee, friendly staff. Very cure comfortable place to hang out or get some work done. My new favorite place!!!
I take my son to Carmela every weekend! It is the perfect family spot. It is clean and the food and matcha is amazing. Alonzo and Bruno are always so kind and helpful. Thank you Carmela for being the best spot in parkland!
Food is amazing. Fresh and good portion s, elegant presentation. We got the burrata/prosciutto avo toast and the Nova. The tiramisu coffee was delicious, not sweet not bland, just perfect 👌.
This coffee shop is definitely my way to go to work, their coffee is freshly toasted and the flavor is really enjoyable, Santiago at the register always knows my order and still makes incredible recommendations such as the Vanilla Cinnamon Latte. Regina at the coffee machine is basically a ninja, you haven't finished your order and your coffee is ready, the whole team is really friendly and the food is so good and fresh. Thank you Carmela Parkland.
I had a great experience today at this Carmela location. Alonzo and Santi helped me out and displayed amazing customer service and exceptional knowledge about the business! Highly recommend to stop by if you’re in the area!
First time here on my daughter’s recommendation and fell in love with it. We were attended by Reylies and she was great. The rest of the staff was fantastic. Super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back.
I love this place so much. It has the BEST chai ever and they have such sweet strawberries. Definitely come here if you want vibes
Had a Wellness Wednesday event at Carmela in Parkland. The staff was attentive, supportive, and accommodating. We plan ok hosting our event again here again! Thank you so much for allowing us to have a successful event!
I had a wonderful experience at Carmela Coffee today! The coffee was perfectly brewed, and the food was just as impressive—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and cozy. On top of the great vibes, the service was top-notch. Santi took my order and Regi made my coffee, they were extremely friendly, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed. It’s easily one of my new favorite spots in town. Highly recommend!"

Nos atendieron Regina y Santiago formidable Siempre es un placer venir a este lugar Monica es súper profesional y atenta con los clientes
I was looking for a quiet spot to get some work done on a Saturday morning, and this cafe came highly recommended. It's a busy little place, offering a solid cafe menu, coffee, and reliable Wi-Fi. The owners are hands-on, helping out behind the counter and supporting staff with clean-up, which makes the space feel welcoming and well-run. Being in a shopping center, parking is available but can be limited depending on the time of day. The inside is small, but the layout works well for small groups. They have conference-style tables, high tops, and charging ports. During the festive season, the cozy decor adds a cheerful touch. The staff were approachable and helpful, answering our questions clearly. They serve all-day brunch, sandwiches, flatbreads, salads, and bowls, so there's something for everyone. My friend tried the omelet with toast and really enjoyed it. I went for the Carmela pancake. Honestly, I expected a bit more for $14. It was a small cornbread skillet topped with strawberries, blueberries, granola, and maple syrup. It looked great, but I felt it wasn't worth the price; a sandwich might have been a better choice, but the staff had recommended this. We also had a small misunderstanding where I was charged for both dishes as we discussed options, but the staff were prompt in correcting it and issuing a refund. Drinks included a Matcha and a Tiramisu, with dairy-free options available. The coffee was rich and smooth. I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but I genuinely enjoyed it. Overall, the cafe has a relaxed, cozy vibe. It's the kind of place where you can work, catch up with friends, there was even a small group having Bible study on the patio. Where food meets adventure see you back at the table! IG: @ShallonzTable
Food was good, people working there were nice, but the outside area was so dirty actually, and the stains were not fresh.
Local spot vibe with plenty of space and options -lots of options for dietary restrictions -decent breakfast/ brunch options -wait is never too long -tables, benches, cozy chairs, stools, high tops plus the outside patio -I’m proud of this local spot that offers free WiFi and community feel -Bacon and Brie (swap the bacon for turkey) is my favorite -Seasonal drinks and even affogato to hit the spot. -Plenty of parking near by Frozen drinks would be a great addition 👌🏼
Lucas was a great server and was awesome to talk to. He was sure to reassure us and keep us updated as we waited for our order. Awesome dude and great food!
Parkland, FL. No mugs anymore and no coffee art on my cappucino; they also forgot the gluten-free cookie I ordered; when I finally got it the cookie was tough. Great coffee though, plus cute plates and wooden sandwich boards for food presentation. This used to be my favorite coffee shop, and if I’m in Parkland I’ll still stop in. Some patrons got tired of waiting and went and found their to-go order behind the register by the hallway to the bathroom and as they left one said, “Don’t know how long that’s been sitting there.” To be fair there were two servers in aprons delivering food and drinks to patrons with a smile and calling out names; at least one patron didn’t hear a name. The place was crowded and there was music playing so maybe the other patrons who didn’t receive their food in a timely manner also didn’t hear their name? Great atmosphere! They’ve added on to their dining space by putting several tables outside and fancied that up with lights strung across overhead. Indoors they have two small dining rooms, with farmhouse style tables, wing chairs, a sofa, and a newer long bench with cafe tables. Even so they get crowded. Why the high prices? Well I figure the remote workers are renting a study/business spot in this beautiful cafe. Also it’s Parkland and there are tons of middle schoolers with disposable income here at this cafe lol. Finally this is a primo location and a pricey bit of real estate.
Cute coffee shop with classic drinks and some unique open-face toasts. Tried the hazelnut latte and the burrata prosciutto toast. The burrata was perfect, the prosciutto was ok but if you’re picky about that ingredient might want to try something else - there’s tons to choose from! Coffee got the job done. Service was really friendly and fast! The restaurant is adorable and perfect for a quick bite or as a coffee shop workstation. I chose more expensive ingredients like prosciutto (which they loaded up on my toast) so I think it was all fairly priced. Would like to try their other toasts on a future visit!
We love Carmela’s! The food and vibes are excellent. I’m not giving it 5 stars because the last time I went there I wanted to use the high chair for my infant and the chair was disgustingly dirty and the bolt was loose and I got scared to put my baby in it. They also only had the ONE high chair. Please consider buying more high chairs and making sure it is clean. Parkland is a family oriented city so I’m sure I’m not the only mom with an infant needing a break. I forgot to take pics but it was bad :(
Came here after seeing a few videos on my instagram. The pictures and videos seemed so pleasing to the eyes got me so intrigued and the menu sounded good. When I arrived with my friend, I was not let down with how really nice the place looked super busy great location. Unfortunately, what I had ordered looked good but lacked lots of flavor and the eggs were cold. It was a huge let down. My friend did enjoy her sandwich though.
Wife and I went in and ordered 2 coffees and 2 breakfast sandwiches, $40. You order from the register, the service was lackluster, the person did not seem like they wanted to be there, we asked what flavors for the coffees, he pointed to a sign almost bothered, then they asked what size, with no sizes on the menu, so I asked which sizes they had, “small, medium, large”, very insightful… Our sandwiches were cold, almost like they were made before, flavor was close to nothing. The coffees were ok, but somehow we make better coffee at home. The atmosphere is a bit strange, loud club music but has yuppie decor. Super disappointed in this place unfortunately, will not be returning anytime soon.
I’m sorry I don’t like to be mean on here but I felt so sick after this coffee it tasted so burnt and I couldn’t sleep all night. I felt dizzy and tired and had the urge to throw up all day. Good place to study.
If you are not white with straight hair except to be treated a little less priority, as if you are a bother instead of a customer. The cake was dry, the coffee was rushed and grainy but the food and ingredients are good. The atmosphere gives small community of 40 year olds trying to live the coffeeshop vibes of 20 year olds in a liberal city.
