They did not skimp at all when it came cream. I do wish the flavor was stronger. The key lime pie had a delicious filling and the meringue was perfect. I do prefer a graham cracker crust and think that it was missing. The tart shell was good, but not defining of a key lime pie, in my opinion. I will definitely return! Thanks Carmella's!

Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and they practically melted in my mouth. My husband had the turkey club and said it was fantastic as well.

At the cake tasting, we tried about 6 flavor combinations and each was delicious.

The cake was a hit with everyone and received tons of compliments on the look and taste. The layers were light, fluffy, and perfectly flavored without being overly sweet (I've found that some vegan cake recipes are prone to excessive sugariness -- but not in Rhi's).
