Carmella's Cafe and Dessert Bar

We heard about Carmella's Desert Shop and decided to stop there for sweet after dinner. When we walked in, there was a bit of a line, so we had to wait about 10 minutes to order our dessert. We ordered the Red Velvet Cake and Chocolate Ice Cream from the menu. Our cake and ice cream were ready in about 10 minutes! We started with the Red Velvet Cake. It was smooth and melted in your mouth with each bite. Everyone in our group loved it and it was definitely one of the best red velvet cakes we've had. The ice cream was also delicious! It tasted great and was well-made with great ingredients. Both the cake and ice cream were great dessert choices after dinner.

I stopped by Carmella’s with my boyfriend after dinner. They have drunken shakes (alcohol milkshakes) which was our primary reason for going. It was very tasty, not sure how much alcohol they actually put in it, but I would get it again. They also offer a variety of desserts which looked amazing. The desserts did seem a little pricey but a ton of people were ordering. They have a lot of seating and a lot of other drink options.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This place is an absolute gem! The café and dessert bar itself is adorable, but what really sets it apart is the outstanding customer service. Marco and Max went above and beyond to make our visit special—friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind from start to finish. They took the time to make recommendations and made us feel so welcome. You can tell they truly care about the experience, not just the order. The desserts were delicious, the atmosphere was cozy, and the service was next-level. Thin min martini, cannoli, and red velvet cake was 10/10. We’ll definitely be back—especially for Marco and Max’s amazing hospitality. Highly recommend! 🍰🍸

Expect to arrive with wide eyes and depart in a state of perfectly fulfilled, induced surrender. Flawless execution. 5/5 stars. Stopped in after dinner and loved it so much we came back the next day. The variety is diverse and there has to be something that will tantalize your pallette. Pro tip: there is a parking deck close by on Cumberland St.

What a fantastic experience! Lovely place, lovely vibe, delicious sandwich and desserts. We wanted some hot wine...and one of the fantastic server ladies created a hot wine and tea mix. It was fabulous! What a wonderful, welcoming spot Carmella's Cafe is, thank you!
