★ 5We 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. -

★ 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️nThis 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! 🍰🍸 -

★ 5Such a cute café/dessert spot with such a creative and original concept. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, from the desserts to the drinks, and the ciabatta bread was SO good. The service was excellent, and Katie especially made us feel so welcomed since we were visiting from out of town. The whole vibe is fun, cozy, and a really cool place to hang out and enjoy the experience. And don’t be fooled by the line, it moves and it’s definitely worth the wait. We’ll absolutely be back next time we’re in town!

★ 5What 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! -

★ 5If I could give this amazing place 10 stars I would. If you are visiting Charleston you must stop here and order the chocolate fudge cake in fact bring several home with you on the plane. These was the best cake I ever had.
