Food: Flavors disappoint, not delightful

The delicious sounding El Gordo Chilaquiles, French Toast breakfast, and Artisan Chorizo Skillet could not indemnify against the marked un-freshness of ingredients such as defrosted strawberries. Customers found the variety encouraging, however, the taste and value-for-money tended to be a letdown with service issues contributing to the dining disappointment.

  • Great Variety

    Brunch specialties range satisfies, offering extensive breakfast to lunch options.

  • Okay Taste

    Some found the food satisfactory but service or pricing underwhelming.

  • Bad Value

    Food not good for price paid; service issues impacting dining experience.

Vibe: Noisy chaos, not cozy

The ambiance of Caramelo Cafe leaves a great deal to be desired as well. Noise levels render conversation near-impossible in the echoey, cramped spaces. The absence of alcoholic beverages further dampen spirits. It's certainly not a spot for a cozy date night with the loud, crowded indoor area.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Noisy ambiance with cramped, echoey spaces making conversations difficult.

Perks: Limited seating, unsatisfactory service

In terms of perks, the small eating area of the cafe proves difficult for groups. Service is seen as unsatisfactory, alongside extended wait times leading to dismay amongst customers. The outdoor seating is limited, often forcing patrons to dine indoors amongst the echoing noises. Reservation system is non-existent, with the only alternate being a demeaning waitlist.

  • Okay To Park

    Small lot but adequate parking for brunch with friends.

  • Bad Service

    Extended wait times and neglectful service lead to customer dissatisfaction.
