    The front counter area

    My first impression of this place was that it seemed very cozy.Being very appropriate for the weather we've been having lately. The server greeted me and helped me promptly. I ordered a small iced caramel, macchiato and a spinach empanada to go. The coffee was smooth and bold. The empanada had a creamy cheese and spinach blend.Both were very good .$15.00 felt a little pricey for the items ordered. Although I wouldn't have mind so much if I actually had time to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere.

    Cute spot. Food is good. Theres definitely not enough tables/seating for the weekend. The coffee was delicious and the breakfast sandwich hit the spot!

    Overall I really liked Carmela. The smoked salmon Avocado toast was a favorite of mine! I also liked the grilled chicken sandwich and the Nutella croissant which was so flaky and delicious. I want necessarily a fan of the chicken salad toast, while I really like the arugula on the toast I didn't like the chicken salad. I felt there was more mayo and Avacado vs chicken. Overall a really nice cafe.

    Carmela has such a wonderful ambiance, providing the perfect environment to either work or chat with friends. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. I had their salmon and cream cheese toast along with a matcha latte. The service was also great, with the staff coming to check on us often.

    Best place to stop for Brunch in Parkland. Been coming to Carmelas for years for early breakfast with my running buddies. Perfect place to unwind, relax, enjoy delicious food and coffee with friends specially after a Saturday long run. My usual is the Avocado Salmon Toast with pouched egg and truffle oil with a Macchiato Coffee on the side . Place is small but cozy. They also have a nice little sitting area outside but with this Florida heat you might want to sit inside. I bring my kids here whenever they're in town and they love it. Service could be a bit faster at the front register. Solid 4 stars.

    I recently visited Carmela's Coffee Company and it was such a delightful experience. The moment you step in, the friendly atmosphere and welcoming vibe make it feel like a cozy home away from home. They serve outstanding Costa Rican specialty coffee, roasted to perfection and paired beautifully with their gourmet toasts, freshly made pastries, sandwiches, and cold-pressed juices The menu offers plenty of choices at very reasonable prices, and everything we tried was excellent ,from the coffee to the food. The staff is exceptionally friendly and efficient; service was prompt, and they seemed genuinely happy to be there! Their bathrooms are always clean and I appreciate that !

    Cute setup

    We tried this place for the first time for brunch. It was packed so be prepared to wait a bit for seating. They have limited seating inside and outside. The ambiance is nice though and it's decorated well. We ordered the breakfast sandwich, avocado and egg toast, chicken shakushka, arugula avocado Parmesan toast, chicken and beef empanadas, and some coffee. Everything tasted fresh and good. I really liked their chicken empanadas and avocado and egg toast for breakfast. Next time I would like to try their bowls. They look healthy and delicious. See photos of the food below to learn more!

    First and foremost the food is delicious. The best Caprese Avocado Toast. Nice variety of coffees too. Reason for 4 or of 5 is that it took a long time to get our food on our last visit. Food came, coffee didn't. Had to go in and pick-up coffee on our own. A lovely outdoor seating area (inside lovely as well). Tends to get a lot of folks sitting and using their laptops so seats are at a premium to find.

    Pistachio croissant

    I asked Google to take me to a coffeehouse that was on my way to my girlfriend's house, and it took me to Carmela Coffee Company. I had never heard of it and had no idea what a big deal this place is! When I walked in, the line was nearly out the door. The place is super-hip with lots of different kinds of seating. They have lots of pastry and hot breakfast options. I opted for a pistachio croissant with an iced black coffee. Both were excellent, although I would have liked more pistachio cream in the croissant. It's so good! I will definitely return to this coffeehouse when I'm in the Weston area!

    Iced Caramel Macchiato* Arugula Parmesan Avocado Toast* Nutella Croissant* Empanada Chicken Regular*

    This place is so great! We are always so happy here. Food is great, atmosphere is welcoming and friendly! Definitely recommend.

    Tequeños, breakfast sandwich, chia pudding, pumpkin spice latte, and breakfast avocado toast -- the perfect spread!
    Jennifer L.

    Such an aesthetically pleasing cafe to have a nice breakfast or lunch with your significant other or a small group of friends. Service is timely and staff is friendly.

    Breakfast and Iced Cortado was excellent. Scrambled eggs spinach with Feta. However the big guy with mustache is rude. Has bit of an attitude. He treats his regular customers nicely. I would have given it 5 stars.

    This is a chain my friend and I are familiar with, so we came one morning. It's a bit pricey but the food is ok. I enjoyed my omelette and also got an iced coffee. It was a Saturday morning and the kids working behind the counter seemed a bit overwhelmed, but they were nice. I wouldn't mind returning. I like that there are lots of seating options, including outside to the right.

    Cafe Landwer - Hummus with short ribs

    Cafe Landwer's storied history and commitment to quality is exactly the kind of place I'm drawn to…read more And while I genuinely enjoyed the food, I don't see myself returning. Why? The experience just didn't come together. There was a bit of an attitude on arrival -- even with a reservation -- which set the wrong tone. From there, the service felt frenetic, with repeated warnings about kitchen delays, and the very loud atmosphere made for an overall uncomfortable evening. Dining is about more than just the food, and I was surprised that a place promoting its European roots didn't deliver the level of service and hospitality typically associated with that tradition. That said, the food was excellent and the pricing very fair. We had the Chicken Shawarma Hummus Bowl with pita, Chopped Salad, Kebab (the only dish I wasn't wild about), Pesto Burrata Pizza, and Landwer's Famous Schnitzel entrée -- a strong lineup overall. A real shame, because this place has the potential to be great.

    Food: generally good, not great Service: fairly bad, not…read moreterrible Smoked eggplant was very good after a small dash of salt. It was very tender, came with a fresh, minced tomato salad, and served split, whole. Pita was good, hot, fresh, soft and fluffy inside with a light exterior crisp. Chicken schwarma dinner with rice is tender and flavorful. Short rib hummus was OK. The hummus is nice and velvety, but the short ribs could've used more seasoning and was dry and hard around the edges. The chicken made a better pairing. Service was slow and lacking. We were seated quickly, but it took a while for a waiter to come. After being seated just past 7pm, our appetizer arrived 20+ minutes after ordering, and entrees didn't come until 8pm. Nearby empty tables went unwiped for most of our stay, and it was off-putting to watch staff only partially clean them while handling the tops of salt and pepper shakers with unclean hands. I was not surprised to see health violations listed here afterwards. The experience worsened with dessert. Our Basque cheesecake came with a thick layer of chocolate instead of the berry coulis listed on the menu. When I mentioned the discrepancy so he could inform future guests, the waiter repeatedly suggested I speak to the manager, despite me saying it wasn't necessary. His tone wasn't kind, and it felt dismissive--especially since he had served the dish and could clearly see the difference. We will not be returning nor recommending.

Keke's is a chain of breakfast and lunch restaurants that opened in 2006 and is based out of Orlando. They have grown to locations all over Florida. I have dined at their Boca and Winter Park locations before. In July 2022, they were purchased by the Denny's Corporation, but Keke's continues to operate separately from Denny's. According to their website, "Keke's Breakfast Cafe is dedicated to providing an outstanding breakfast; a meal where everything is handmade, using the best ingredients available, with fresh fruits and vegetables delivered daily, and using the highest quality bread and dairy products." They pride themselves on service, cleanliness, and quality, and that is what keeps bringing me back. This Keke's location is really bright and colorful. I love the pastel color scheme and Florida-centric theme. The Parkland mural is an especially nice touch. They have a large dining room and a few seats on the patio out back overlooking the waterway. Sierra was my server, and she was so sweet and attentive. I started off with some much needed coffee, which is great here. Bad coffee is a pet peeve of mine. Keke's has the sort of indulgent breakfast menu I love, with stuffed French toast and fruit-topped waffles and pancakes. If you are not into sweet, dessert like breakfasts, they also have a savory lunch menu with sandwiches, salads, and wraps. The entire menu makes my mouth water, especially the decadent stuffed French toast options. I ended up choosing the cinnamon apple French toast and made it a combo with home fries and bacon. Everything was perfection, but my eyes were bigger than my stomach, and I ended up needing a take-home box. While I was dining, Sierra kept the coffee flowing and checked in often. If you are looking for both great food and great service, give Keke's a try. I am so glad to have a location closer to home.

    Not up to the Keke's Standard…read more I was looking forward to a comforting Keke's breakfast after a morning in the heat, and was disappointed. The caramel pecan French toast was missing the caramel. The bread was airy which made for a strange texture when I added the watered down and tasteless syrup. The bread also didn't see like it was soaked in batter, just put in a toaster and plated. The bananas on the French toast were from a what seemed a 6 day old ripe banana. You wouldn't need teeth to eat them. The eggs were overcooked and had absolutely no seasoning. The manager said he doesn't like his chef overusing salt, but a bit of salt (and at least butter) is needed to cook eggs. The bacon was cooked well, but still seemed a bit chewy. The only good things about the meal were the grapes and oranges in the side of fruit. Don't think I'll come back to this location, but I won't rule out Keke's next time. The staff seemed friendly enough.
