"Once inside, you’re immediately struck by the fun, eclectic decor and inviting atmosphere. There are plenty of seating options, perfect for both working and socializing. The decor is so unique that it almost resembles an antique shop! I particularly enjoyed all the references to Paris, along with vibrant murals adorning the walls. The menu is prominently displayed above the ordering counter, offering a wide variety of coffees, teas, and other delicious selections. There's also a selection of baked goods and pre-packaged treats to cater to all tastes, including vegan options! We tried a few vegan treats and ordered coffee along with a hot chocolate for my mom. The friendly duo working at the counter made us feel welcome, treating us like locals despite our tourist status. I even learned that on Tuesdays, you receive two punches on the loyalty card, so I made sure to get mine to bring back the next day. What a nice touch! The coffee was flavorful and the atmosphere simply amazing, so I'm planning to drag my husband back on Tuesday to enjoy it all over again. It's a fantastic spot!"

"Wow. My family and I met up in Branson for a few days and we had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant. We are all great cooks ourselves, so we can be tough critics, but we all agreed that this was probably the best dining experience we've ever had. We tried 3 appetizers, 6 entrees, 2 desserts, and 4 flavors of ice cream, and everything was absolutely fantastic. The bread was delicious and the strawberry butter was whipped perfectly. Our favorite appetizer was the Brussel sprout nachos, the best entree was the cubano sandwich, the best dessert was the cheesecake, and the best ice cream was the mint chocolate chip (incredibly refreshing and creamy). Our favorite drink was the Arnold Palmer."

"Coming to Branson in January is a difficult task. We did some research on the best pizza places in the area and half of them are closed until February. We found this one and it had a lot of great reviews. It's nice, small and cozy and has the amazing smell of garlic as soon as you enter the place. Our waitress was really nice and very helpful as well. I had my two boys with me on this trip and I went for the Poulet BBQ chicken personal pizza. It was good and the cilantro was a nice touch to the overall flavor. My oldest son created his own pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and bacon on a personal pizza and that one was the best pizza ordered that night. It was amazing and the cheese was super stretchy, just the way I like it! Great spot if you're looking for something simple and delicious!"

"Really enjoyed this place, hope to go back while I'm here on holiday. I loved the hand pulled noodles, they had great bite/chew. I got the stir fry but want to go back to try the noodle bowl with a tea egg. When we asked for hot sauce the chef even came out directly and offered 2 different options. The woman who took our order was so simultaneously efficient and considerate it was incredibly impressive I ordered a passionfruit refresher from their large juice and boba drink menu and she double checked that I was okay ordering an energy drink at night. They really care about their customers! We were the only party at the time, (not remotely surprising since it was on the later end of a Monday night), and usually when there are no other customers in a restaurant I feel awkward, but Carly's has such a relaxed and friendly vibe and the family running it is so nice that we didn't feel awkward at all. Everybody we interacted with was welcoming and seemed passionate about the restaurant and food, which is rare and wonderful and sort of the whole point of eating out at a restaurant, isn't it? If I just want quick food I don't have to make myself I can go through a fast food drive thru or buy a frozen dinner or pre made meal in the grocery store. But when I take the time to find a restaurant I hope it will be an experience and that I'll get to enjoy a real meal, something somebody created with purpose and love for the ingredients. Carly's provided that, AND they are a locally owned family run small business which is like being a restaurant unicorn or something.Vegetarian options: Tofu or shiitake mushroomsParking: In front of the restaurantKid friendliness: The menu has a kid section and I think we saw the owners' kiddos there so I would say that makes Carly's likely to be VERY kid friendly"

"This is seriously one of the best pizzas I have ate. If you come at the wrong time there is a wait and the staff is all hustling. All of them where sweating, rushed and just pure chaos, I could hear the phone ringing too they just don't have time to breath when slammed, But! And this is big, this place is legit. Don't get in a hurry just come wait and enjoy. I have ate at some expensive places all over the US and most get forgot about the next day. This has now become a everytime we come to branson we are coming here stop. We ordered two large pizzas for our family of 4 with the idea to eat some for lunch the next day and so glad we did. It was just as good reheated!"
