The only thing I can write a review on is the breakfast croissant I ordered and the ambiance.
First off, the decor is cool and I like the quaint little coffee house with surprising seating inside. The outside seating is a little less appealing being pretty much right on Camelback. Has a great feel to the place.
The Breakfast Croissant was fairly plain. You would be much better off getting a La Grande Commuter Sandwich. The croissant seemed store bought and I only got like one strip of bacon on it. Probably don't need it so I guess not too bummed about that.
Hopefully the food can be improved. I will give the coffee a try next time and update my experience at Carmel's.
