Reviews for Carmelito Cafe in Ottawa, ON
Selected two cakes for our first visit based purely on window appeal. We got the pistachio and buttercream cake and Ferrero... Rocher cake. Unfortunately both were not enjoyable. The sponges were well baked but lacked flavour and the icing was overlysweet and also lacked flavour. The pistachio cake lacked pistachio flavour and the Ferrero Rocher cake lacked Ferreroflavour. Some other treats looked good So I may come back to try them someday but it wasn?t a great first experience. Read more
Tasty panini and a creamy pistachio cake! Cute place in the neighborhood. They have a big selection of pastries and cakes.
Coming from Toronto, I?d say the price is fair, taste is decent, but not impressive. Maybe I was having high expectations after... read the good reviews here. The desserts make a good date night companion. Read more
Delicious pastries, great drinks, relaxing vibe. I haven't been here since they were called Simply Biscotti but I love the... renovated space upstairs. Read more
Cute coffee shop in Little Italy. The service we received was excellent and we really appreciated the recommendations that were... provided. We tried the pistachio and opera cakes. We found both cakes extremely sweet, a little too much for our liking. Theupstairs seating was cute but a little dated. Would visit again to try their mini cheesecakes. Read more
The cafe itself is tiny and has a very cozy feel to it. I love the fact that the cafe has a lot of options to choose from, both... to eat and drink. The price is quite reasonable and the servings is generous as well. They do have a couple do tables for thoselooking to sit and grab a bite. In terms of improvements, the chicken in the chicken Panini needed to be cooked better. It wasnot cooked evenly as i found it undercooked in places. Read more
Great little cafe. The deserts are very yummy. Only thing I'd say to add is more gluten/dairy/lactose free options for the... deserts. Highlight was the tiny glass jar of Nutella I got with my cake. <3 adorable!!! Thank you! Read more
The service is very slow. It took more than 30 min to make coffee and grab the ready cakes. The coffee and cake are tasty. The... coffee shop does not look nice at all. They did a mistake by charging me for extra stuff that I didn't order. I asked for takeaway cup,but they get me normal dining in cups. The staff are not trained at all. There is only one lady that know the work butother two are not aware of anything and they did mistakes in each and every order. I witness three mistakes in the 3 customersahead of me. Can't recommend this place. Read more
