Very cute coffee shop that's bigger than I thought on the inside. I got a caramel white chocolate latte and it was sooooo tasty. I also tried their cinnamon muffin and shakshuka.... Both very delicious. But the highlight and the award goes to the empanadas. Flaky, tasty and well seasoned meat on the inside. The staff seem to know the regulars well as many of them struck up conversation about things more in depth than just the orders. Definitely would visit again! read more

This coffee shop has a great atmosphere & friendly service. My latte was yummy and my friend enjoyed her macha drink. They also serve empanadas and the usual coffee shop sweets, nothing fancy. I was surprised they close at 4:00 pm. Nice to have an elevated option to the typical chain coffee places. Will definitely return. read more

Hubby and I walked in while waiting for our truck to be detailed. What an amazing vibe! It is decorated so beautifully. I especially loved the purple sitting area. I ordered a skinny latte and hubs a coffee. We also tried one of their brownies. The coffee was really good. The brownie was ok. we will definitely be back to try a sandwich as they looked interesting. It is a family run business so I always give extra credit! Everyone working was very nice. They have a rewards program and it is easy to sign up. Give this place a go...very relaxing read more

I was highly recommended so I hate to be the one to write a bad review but after what happened, I have to share my experience. I went to try Carmela's yesterday afternoon. I walked up to the counter just as two men walked away but the girl working, Lexie, had me wait while she made the guys their drinks. Finally when she came to take my order, they're out of matcha, the one thing I went there for. Settled for another drink. Then I ordered 3 chk empanadas and paid for my order. After I paid, she tells me an uber eats order came in and they asked for two chk empanadas so she had to take them out of my order! So now not only am I not getting the latte I want but she's taking away my empanadas! Had she not left me waiting when the first two guys walked away, my order would've been in first before the uber eats. Either way I was there in person, at the counter, first! I'm sorry that's terrible customer service. How do you take away things from someone's order to help someone else. She gave me one of the empanadas for free but I don't care for free things that are covering up your mistake. In the end I walked out unhappy. I've been in the industry. I've worked behind a counter before. Besides customer service and making your guests happy, time management is crucial! Because of her horrible timing I missed out. She could've taken my order after the 2 men and multi tasked, making mine and the 2 guys orders in one shot instead of leaving me waiting. Terrible first experience. I won't ever walk into this place again. Thanks Lexie! read more

Came in while waiting for my car to be detailed at the carwash next door. (10% discount with your car wash receipt .) Really nice decor, an upscale Starbucks but with a full menu. Their Breakfast avocado toast......amazing! You won't find this anywhere else in the area- California maybe. Chai tea was also very good. Excellent service -counter- food was delivered to my table. The food was beautifully presented on a signature wooden cutting board instead of a boring plate. A little pricey but before you decide that Stuart can't support this, my toast was large enough for two or even three people to share. A welcome addition to the lukewarm food scene on US1. read more

The food is good, and the coffee is okay, but we likely won't be back due to unwarranted attitude from the barista today. My husband ordered an iced latte with honey. This is his go-to order and we've never had an issue at any other cafe. The barista made the latte, and then poured a substantial amount of honey on top of the ice. Of course, the honey didn't mix because it wasn't properly integrated with the espresso first, so he just kept getting a straw full of honey. He politely asked the barista to remake it because of the congealed honey, and her initial response was basically, well duh, that's what honey does when you add it to a cold drink, and didn't want to remake it for him. After overhearing this encounter, a younger barista apologized profusely and actually offered to remake his latte properly (which she did - thank you to this person for their kindness!). Had the initial barista just admitted she made the drink wrong, it would have been no harm, no foul. But her attitude about the entire situation was unwarranted and put a bad taste in our mouth. read more

The coffee hot or iced is very good and they have just enough food items to cover your snack appetite . They also sell these Panza cookie/ cracker type snacks which are addicting!

I had the pleasure of dining at the new Carmela Coffee in Stuart this week and was extremely impressed. It was such a nice space to eat, hang with a friend, work/study or even play some games. The interior was spacious with lots of different seating options from tables to couches, the ambiance and decor was comfortable and inviting, the coffee was great, and the food selections were not only extensive, but honestly delicious! Portions were huge and the presentation was Instagram worthy. I had one of their avocado toast selections called The Queen. It was the perfect combination of a coffee bar and upscale cafe. Great addition to the neighborhood! I will definitely be back!! read more

I brought food from a different place because of allergies I have and the manager came up to me and yelled at me for being outside food. She started talking about diseases and how I would affect their business. The rest of the time I was there the staff would not stop checking to see if I was still eating.

My sister and I once a month meet for lunch, usually go to the other restaurants in the downtown area. This was a Saturday. The restaurant was pretty empty. We decided to try it, since it was new. It's off season for Florida. I like that it's away from traffic and close to the river, but not on the river. We ordered several appetizers, Tuna stack, it was good with toast on the side. I would have preferred wonton chips or tortilla chips. We also had the crab fritters, these were delicious and plentiful for two people and the Burrata salad. We wanted the Brussels sprouts, but they were out so the chef prepared Bok Choi instead. Equally delicious. We ordered an infused cucumber refreshing cocktail. The service was very good. The owner stopped by our table, to ask how we liked it. He was gracious and told us his story how he bought the placed and design a menu along with the Chef. That was a plus. They also have music for dinner. Parking is street. The Tram goes around and it will leave you at this restaurant from the large parking lot. Please note there's a green market on Sunday's so the parking lot is usually full.

Berry Fresh Cafe

Came to Stuart for a wedding and found this restaurant called Berry Fresh Cafe. I love a good diner…read moreso I was excited. Little did I know this was going to be, arguably, my FAVORITE DINER I've ever been to. Location: The spot itself is so nice. Smushed in between an IHOP and a Chinese Restaurant, Berry Fresh Cafe feels like a lighthouse-- a shinning light of amazing diner food you won't experience in other places. The restaurant has a very beautiful Grandma's house kind of vibe. It reminded me of going to my grandma's house as a kid. My favorite was the brick walls; very nice astehtic. Service: Tim was our server and he was literally the best! He was so kind and treated us like genuine family. He took the time to go over the menu and gave us great recommendations. A few other people actually brought our food and they were so kind as well! Overall, perfect service. Food: I'm going to say a controversial statement: I HATE GRITS AND DON'T LIKE HAM, buuuuuuuuut, I greatly enjoyed the ham and the grits were very good. Berry Fresh Cafe made me rethink what foods I despise. It was that good. The monstrosity that was the Rought Night Burger was everything that someone like me would love. My family got the Ultimate Breakfast Stackwich and they had nothing but great things to say. Also, their cinnamon rolls are heaven-sent. Crispy in the right places and soft in others. The food here was perfection incarnate. Price: I know prices are always a touchy subject, but this place could be a bazillion dollars and I would pay it GLADLY! Prices range from $11 - $20, which is normal for most diners these days, but again, the food was so good that I would pay it gladly. Cleanliness: Bathroom wasn't perfect, but it was definitely clean. The restaurant itself however was spotless. I get really picky when it come to clean tables --I despise sticky tables, and this place was great. My experience here is the classic example of a 5-star experience. I genuinely loved this place and will come back as soon as I can. See you tomorrow Berry Fresh Cafe PS. The place does have an 18% server charge, but they are very clear that it exists and I respect that. And service is so good that you'll want to leave more.

The birthday girl had the short rib grilled cheese which looked exactly like the pictures. She managed to eat the whole thing. I had the steamed clams. The presentation was totally unexpected. It had a pizza dough topper that was puffed up with the clams, linguica & broth nice and steamy underneath. It was an amazing preparation and the dough helped tame some of the spiciness from the linguica. We all said we would come back. I would give this restaurant a solid 4.5 stars as the refill of our water was a big sluggish. Since you cannot rate in 1/2 star increments, I gave it a 5.

On our way home from Orlando, we decided to make a lunch stop in Stuart and chose Waterfront. My…read morehusband thought he knew the place, but it turned out he was thinking of somewhere else. It ended up being a great find! The restaurant is spacious with huge windows overlooking the water, which I absolutely loved. It was much too hot to sit outside, so we enjoyed the view from an inside table. We decided to split the steamed clams (without the sausage) and a lobster bisque for lunch. Our server, Sydney, was friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed. The clams were served inside a bread-like pastry. My husband especially enjoyed that part, while I skipped the bread and dug right into the clams--they were fresh and delicious. The lobster bisque was rich, flavorful, and just as good. One unexpected bit of entertainment came from the couple seated next to us. It sounded like they were on a first date, and while I certainly wasn't trying to eavesdrop, they were talking so loudly it was impossible not to overhear! They seemed to be having a wonderful time, and it added a lighthearted touch to our lunch. Hope springs eternal! Overall, I was very happy with both our meal and the beautiful waterfront setting. I'd definitely stop here again the next time we're passing through Stuart. The only thing that gave me pause was the dinner menu, which looked a bit pricey, but for lunch this was a very enjoyable stop. You don't need a reservation for lunch so that was a plus. Sometimes you just want to go with the flow, and that is just what we did!

Every item was cooked properly, though I suspect the avocados were refrigerated. The interior was kitschy beach decor with a cozy vibe. However, I felt like they missed the opportunity to do a full bird-themed restaurant. They could've at least used beach birds for their logo design instead of going two directions with their decor. I appreciated catching pieces of conversation from the locals meeting up at other tables around me. The casual and friendly server immediately put me at ease.

This Saturday around lunchtime, we decided to stop into the Three Little Birds Café in Stuart, Florida. Upon entry, you could tell their breakfast crowd gave them a run for their money (booths needing to be bussed etc) But we were greeted promptly with kindness and the server said sit anywhere you'd like that's clean! I loved that acknowledgement. It's cozy in the small dining area. Feels like a neighborhood spot that probably has earlweekday morning regulars. The food was descent. I've had better biscuits and gravy and huevos rancheros is not my thing but it was good. My boyfriend wanted that. It was a nice experience and no complaints!

To make matters worse, the service felt cold, rushed, and far from the attentive hospitality you'd expect at this price point. The Good: The aesthetic and interior design are gorgeous, which makes for great photos. If you're just looking for a pretty backdrop to snap some pictures, maybe. But if you're going for an actual dining experience that respects your wallet, this is a massive miss. One-and-done for me.

The burger was juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor--exactly what you want from a great burger. I also tried several appetizers and sides. The roasted Brussels sprouts were shaved and had a really nice flavor that made them stand out. The Kung Pao cauliflower was absolutely amazing with bold Kung Pao flavor that I loved. The calamari was served on top of a bed of fresh arugula, which complemented the dish beautifully. It came with a sauce on the side that I personally found a bit too sweet for my taste, so I skipped it and instead squeezed fresh lemon over the calamari and arugula--which made it perfect for me. For dessert, I had a cappuccino and tiramisu. The tiramisu was fluffy, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Service was excellent. My server's name was Spencer. He was attentive and offered great suggestions. Overall, everything was delicious and it made for a really enjoyable dining experience!

I obvi couldn't finish it once I discovered the sugar content, but on the upside now I know that most coffee shops serving "Chai" anything are actually using a syrup, not the actual tea. Even with the sugar mishap the place is darling and we will definitely return whenever we visit the Stuart/Jensen Beach area.
