Did you know Carmella’s just took home Charleston’s Choice 2024 award for best desserts? After our experience there on Sunday, I can confirm this is well-deserved! Besides the most iconic sweet treats, Carmella’s features a creative sandwich menu using house-made ciabatta, plus drunken shakes, coffees, breakfast options, and more. Paired with the most upbeat vibe and welcoming staff, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a rainy day (or any day!) in Charleston. The chocolate peanut butter cake was next level! A rich brownie base stacked with layers of decadent chocolate cake and a peanut butter honey filling- it literally gave me the chills it was so good! Don’t forget to check out their seasonal menu; the pumpkin cheesecake is perfection!
Lovely place! There is a little something for everyone: coffee, ice cream, sandwiches, sweats, and a full bar. Ample amount of sitting inside and outside. We had their latte, espresso martini, and apple cheesecake. Everything was very good, definitely will be visiting again next time in Charleston.
This seemed like a very popular place as there was a line going outside the door. The pictures online of the desserts looked absolutely amazing. While we were standing in line, we looked on our phones and realized you could order pickup. So we actually did that while we were in line and were able to get our items before the people that were standing in front of us. Like we literally skipped half the line, if not more. So I would highly recommend doing that. The atmosphere was really cool but there was not a seat to be had because it was so busy. Even the seating outside was taken. Which isn't a bad thing for the business. But we took our desserts and went back to our hotel. I was expecting it to be absolutely amazing and I would say it was just average. But I would try something different if I was in the area to see if I liked something else better and to see if it's worth all the hype.
The Café has a bright ambience and very friendly staff. We sat at the bar and we shared an almond raspberry cake and two ice coffees, one black and one with oat milk, everything was very good. We liked, that the cake was not too sweet and you could taste the flavour of the almonds and raspberries. Nice place to have a stop while exploring the city.
This place, I mistook for a dessert place, is actually a bar that has premade desserts, cakes, sorbets, lattes, and gelatos. I got the banana pudding cake which was in a plastic cup. It’s a good size for 2 people but a little much for just 1 person. The small cakes looked stellar but didn’t taste good. They have a bar but I’ve no clue how that is as I don’t drink. The banana pudding tasted great but the Tiramisu was just a whipped cream dried cake mess. I guess the place doesn’t really live up to its hype! Maybe recommended for giving a try once but not my pick for a 2nd visiటీ.
