Carmela Coffee - East Delray — Restaurant in Delray Beach

I wish I had the experience All the other reviewer‘s seem to have had but truly my whole meal was awful. My husband and I ordered takeout because we were waiting at a nearby doctors office. He got the breakfast sandwich, (bacon, egg, and cheese, based on the photo) but since it was not specified in the description online, I had to call in person, and the person taking the order didn’t understand a word I was saying. (That should’ve been my hint to hang up and go somewhere else.) when he opened the box, the cheese and egg had hardened onto one side of the bread and the rest was overflowing with dried out bacon bits. Bacon bits are not what you would expect on an egg sandwich. (particularly when the photo online shows whole slices of bacon.) I got the avocado toast with arugula and Parmesan, and my avocado was rancid. (I guess they give the day old stuff to people who are not eating in so they won’t have to hear the complaint in person). I picked the arugula and Parmesan off the top and just ate that. Thank goodness I also ordered the almond croissant, which was pretty good. It was filled with almond paste, which is delicious, but it was not light and fluffy, more of a dense croissant. Both brewed coffees were cold. We did come 20 minutes after we said we would but it would’ve been nice if someone caught that we were going to drink cold coffee and just poured us fresh ones. If you go for the atmosphere, which sounds great, I would stay and eat on site. Hopefully you’ll have a better experience...

This place has the cutest decor and great vibes. They have pumpkin flavor available right now. Yes, it's that time! The iced coffee with pumpkin flavor was super yummy. It's not the same type of pumpkin that the big chains use, so even if you don't normally like it, try it. I also got the hummus with pita and it was super tasty. I am very picky about hummus and I really liked this one. Make sure you download the app so you can earn points ! The service here isn't the fastest, but it's friendly and they get your order correct. Not sure why other reviews mentioned that it's hard to find parking, because there's literally a parking lot here. A lot of places in this area you have to either find a lot far away and walk, or find street parking. Overall, definitely check this place out if you are...

Place has gone down a little in quality. Its interesting how it starts with the orange juice. They used to make it up to 3 pm, and now is until 12pm and the quality of the OJ is diluted with lots of ice. Seen this before in another bakery and they end up closing, wont say their name. Also ask for bread bread recently and it was not toasted like before. Probably is a manager issue.

My previous review Great place for breakfast, or a quick lunch. The salmon avocado toast, queen avocado toast are amazing. The pumpkin spice coffee is good. They natural orange juice too but only available until 230pm or 3pm and a little pricey. Their Cappuccino is good quality. Scramble eggs are a descent breaksfast option. The place is never empty, good thing. Bring your labtop to...
