Carmella's Cafe and Dessert Bar

Delicious gelato and key lime pie, but the line was out the door and the AC wasn’t working, so it was 84° inside during April.

Always a great spot. Their Key Lime pie is a must have. But the limoncello gelato is truly transformative.

A very popular café located on East Bay Street and Cumberland is a very open and bright spot with indoor and even some outdoor seats (the morning sun shines brightly on their particular corner). Beyond the traditional coffees, teas and the like, it is definitely worth a visit to Carmella's to sample some of their amazing baked goods that look just divine (see the video to get a sense of what's available). As always, the cafe is full of friendly and smiling staff. Don't be put off by any lines as it generally moves quite quickly. Enjoy!

Amazing. The staff is very friendly! Hannah was great! Ira was alright too.

Hannah, and the staff treat you better than family!

Kennedy is a wonderful breath of fresh air! She goes above and beyond with all of her hungry customers.

I come here everyday and hannah is so sweet :)

This is a must stop spot in Charleston. From the sorbet, to the many amazing treats of interesting flavor profiles, to the focaccia bread pizza, sandwiches, many alcoholic beverages made with ice cream.. everyone will find something to drool over. Quaint little place where your belly up to the cashier just passed all the meticulously made with love treats, this place has a long history of its founders.

The tiramisu drunken shake paired with a cannoli is the way to go. Make sure you get there before 9, as it starts to get pretty crowded.
