As being one of the only coffee bars in Wenatchee, this place definitely is a must visit. The environment is perfect for catching up, studying or just relaxing with a drink by your side. The Vanilla Latte was the perfect strength level without being too sweet. I also ordered the Wild Berry Hibiscus which is the perfect refresher for those who enjoy fruit drinks that aren't sweet. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be sure to stop by! read more

Delicious. Modern. Friendly staff. Amazing smell of coffee. Totally what I needed on a morning when coffee was a must.

Mela has been my go-to coffee spot since they opened. There is nothing in town that compares to the ambiance, and the richness of the coffee is only enhanced knowing that it was roasted just beneath your feet! Nearly a decade of enjoying this gem and I've never written a review... But today I would be amiss to not. Mela has - without a doubt - the best omelettes in town! I've always frequented Mela for the coffee and largely ignored that they offer food. Until now. Their ham omelette is out of this world. The onions are perfectly caramelized (I *HATE* raw onion in an omelette), the ham is bursting with flavor, the smoked gouda keeps it creamy, & the tiny dollop of pesto brings it all together. Seriously an orchestra of flavor, texture, & presentation. Pro tip: Upgrade the potatoes for fruit... you get at least 3-4 varieties that are beautifully sliced into some form of art. read more

Mela Coffee Roasting - Ham omelette w/ fruit potatoes subbed out for fruit - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wenatchee, Washington

Yum, yum, yum! Their little bite sized biscuit breakfast sandwiches were divine - the sauce was spicy but creamy, the biscuits were warm and smooth, and the bacon wasn't too floppy. Their chai latte was one of my favorites that I've ever had. My boyfriend had the steak breakfast burrito and said that it was phenomenal. Staff was friendly and the place is cute, too. Would definitely come back for another visit! read more

Cafe Mela is the quintesential coffee house with faded leather chairs, well made cappuccino, lattes, and baked good fair. It's where I spent my lunches for years when I was living in the area and working in Wenatchee. Fast forward five years of living east coast and although the cafe has changed owners and decor, the core has remained, relax to indie pop, suck down homegrown and roasted beans and breathe out. read more

Mela Coffee Roasting - A delicious sunshine latte! Just a touch of honey and cinnamon make it uncommonly good. Shout out to chazzzzz - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wenatchee, Washington

Legit specialty coffee in downtown Wenatchee! The latte I had was smooth and sweet, on par with Victrola roasting in Seattle. I'll definitely visit again when in town next. read more

The coffee here is amazing! We stopped in and got three lattes and a few of the breakfast burritos. It was all SO delicious! Definitely recommend. read more

I went here twice and the decor was nice. The coffee was so so. Baked good weren't to bad. All and all it's ok not a place I would fight to get a parking space for. It works if you are shopping and don't want to drive elsewhere. read more

Best place to get a latte in Wenatchee. I am extremely fussy about my lattes and this place gets it right every time with the right amount of micro-foam. read more

If you're looking for the local coffee hangout, this is it. A spacious location right in the heart of the downtown strip, Caffe Mela microroasts their own coffee. I saw a Chemex on the countertop, local art on their walls and a stage with grand piano for local and traveling bands. They serve locally-sourced sandwiches, soups and salads as well as fresh baked goods. The "living room" feel of the day, complete with kiddie corner, is about to be transformed as Caffe Mela works toward becoming more European Bistro by night. Mochas and lattes will give way to local brews and hard ciders along with table-side service and seasonal tapas. Plan to stay a while if you come. The baristas take time crafting their art, carefully monitoring and adjusting the grind for the optimal espresso shot in each drink. Relax with friends or pick up a local newspaper. You might be surprised how well Wenatchee journalists can make news out of the mundane. read more

Shirt but seeing breakfast menu. I loves the sound Veda steak for breakfast. Will come again!

Cutest coffee shop in Wenatchee! Great for studying, meeting friends or if you just want a quick to go coffee. Have a lot of options and I like the coffee! read more

This is definitely the spot for great coffee in Wenatchee. It's wonderful to get consistent high quality cups of delicious java. The fact that they roast the beans means you get only the fresh shots from the machines. The recent remodel was a nice touch and added a touch of class to a favored spot in downtown Wenatchee.. read more

Friendly and engaging service. My almond milk - honey latte was delicious. It was exactly what I was looking for in a coffee shop! read more

Mela Coffee Roasting - Triple, 12 oz, almond milk and honey latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wenatchee, Washington

Came in late afternoon on a holiday so take it for what it's worth.... Just a few patrons in the store but still had to wait a long time in line just to pay for a soggy sandwich and a can of soda. Staff members coming and going, chatting among themselves, but not making eye contact or acknowledging our presence. Overall a real letdown considering that reviews were generally positive. Probably will never be back. read more

I suffer from Wine & Coffee Snobbery. While traveling though Wenatchee my addiction and cofree senses kicked into high gear. They lead us to Mela. What a find! Walked into wonderful coffee smell permeating in the air. While waiting only a few minutes in line we saw a mighty breakfast buritto being served to a customer. Then we heard our inner most beings cry out, "Must get food!" My wife ordered the Americano with heavy cream and Broccoli Cheddar Omlett. I ordered the Grilled Bacon Buritto. Our coffee was splendid! The food however was Heavenly! My wife's Omlett had grilled broccoli in it which made her morning. And my breakfast buritto made me literally say, "This things off the hook boi!" It was a pleasant experience and we have marked this to revisit again...sooner than later. To the owners and operators...bravo! read more

I love Caffe Mela! Now just to let you know, I'm not a coffee drinker, can't stand the stuff. Instead, I run in here for iced tea or hot tea, or when I need a quiet place to get a little bit of work done on my laptop. They serve great paninis - it takes several minutes to prepare them properly but it's worth the wait. I'd probably order food more often if their menu was a bit easier to see and read, I sort of always feel rushed when I'm standing there looking at it. The employees could not be friendlier, and seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs and be happy people. I appreciate that there isn't loud music on weeknights, but I wish Caffe Mela was open much much later into the night. It'd be nice to have somewhere to go after a movie at Liberty Cinema, for tea and dessert. read more

Caffe Mela is everything a coffee snob might want. The mission here is to do things the old Italian way and all the drinks are made one size only in its own specific cup. The choices here are: Espresso, Macchiato, Cappuccino. (If you want a latte or mocha there is a smaller americana menu for the paper cup crowd) The building itself is the essence of cool and the interior is set up for a first rate coffee experience weather thats drinking straight shots at the bar, or sipping a Cappuccino at a table playing chess. The one thing that I don't get is this new trendy thing about pouring a Cappuccino instead of spooning the it which basically leaves you with a 6oz Latte. The people that run the place are super enthusiastic about there business and love talking about it. In the back there is a extensive stage for music and I left here wishing that I could have seen it in action, maybe next time I will. read more

If I rated purely on the lack of better options in this town, they'd fare better than 2 stars. BUT: - the prices are insane, especially for Wenatchee - there's pig in almost all their savory items (and hiding in some seemingly veg fare) - though the coffee's good, its preparers are only so-so on the barista skills and customer service is really not their strong suit But hey, the atmosphere's nice and their only real competition is Java Dog in my book (way better coffee, but drive-through) read more

I do enjoy Café Mela's coffee (+ pastries and food). I appreciate the ambiance of the café. My one complaint is service. I continue to return to Café Mela for the coffee (and, I know the owners are great people). The baristas tend to keep their heads down until they are ready to make your drink. They rarely say hi or acknowledge you when you walk in the door or get in line. The blonde girl who tends to cashier but also makes drinks always has a bad attitude when I'm in there and doesn't seem to know how to keep an eye on and/or manage her line / customers. I am a fan of the coffee, the café itself, the ownership, and live music so I'm giving them a 4 star. It would be nice if service could be improved. It's not cool or hip to ignore customers or be rude when they get to the cash register after they have patiently waited in a line of 2-3 groups (which always seems to be "so busy" to the baristas and takes forever... it really doesn't need to be that way but I always wait patiently). I'm disappointed to leave this sort of review but I've been in Café Mela many, many times since moving to Wenatchee from Seattle and it hasn't seemed to improve. read more

Best coffee in Wenatchee. They roast their own beans and the baristas know how to pull quality shots. There's not another spot in town that comes even close to their caliber of bean or beverage. The space is really great too. Reminds me of coffee shops in Seattle and Portland. Overstuffed furniture, a piano, really warm but vibrant colors on the walls. It's a spot I would hang out at any time. read more

Hipster espresso joint in downtown Wenatchee. Dark paneling, brick, deep red walls, with black ceilings completing the look, very roomy. Building looks like it was an old small town Department store. Live bands play here at times; Loomis Whitney Blitzen Trapper Jay Nash & Josh Day Chill music playing. Prices as expected. read more

Wonderful espresso, lattes and cappuccinos; delicious food! We come here every chance we get because of how well prepared and presented the food and coffee is, but also appreciate the friendly staff and clean, relaxing surroundings. My wife and I love coffee and the shots are consistently good; not bitter or acidic. We've spoken to the man and woman baristas and they obviously take their craft seriously, and it shows in their product. The Classic Breakfast, breakfast burrito and tomato, egg and smoked Gouda breakfast sandwich are wonderful and have been cooked perfectly. Baked goods such as their cinnamon swirl, and carrot bran muffin are also delicious. This is our new favorite go-to place for good food and coffee. read more

Love this place! Great coffee, Great vibe, and great company! Always a great choice, staff is super friendly breakfast is delish!

Cafe Mela is the spot to go when in Wenatchee for coffee. There is really no comparison. I'm about a 9.0 on the coffee-snob rating scale (0-10). I'm not saying that they produce the best coffee that I've ever had, but it's pretty good stuff, and it's WAY, WAY better than anything else that you could find in Wenatchee. Honestly, the next best coffee joint in Wentachee is probably Starbucks. I'm not a Starbucks hater, but it's somewhat the King of the "fast food" coffee joints. Cafe Mela roasts their own coffee. I've found that fact to be a good barometer for the quality of coffee produced. If a coffee shop cares enough to roast their own coffee, then they are most likely capable of producing a good cup. They have to know enough and care enough to invest that amount of money (roasters & electricity etc aren't cheap, I'm sure). Just go there and buy a cappuccino or latte or your whatever and check it out. I doubt you'll be disappointed. Even if you only like coffee for the mocha-frappuccino-carmel-whip cream coffee drinks, it's still better to have quality coffee as the base, right?! (Just know that you can't really taste the quality of the coffee very much when it's covered with so much sugar, cream and other flavors...Just sayin'). read more

Delicious, positively delicious I ordered the Cafe Mocha and its robust in flavor, tastes like it has a hint of chocolate with milk its very yummy. I have gotten into a weird mood of drinking hot mocha's, cappuchino's, etc...I don't usually like hot drinks, but since I have been going out of my way to try them, they are soooo good and this place makes a yummy mocha! read more

The barrista was a bit too cool for school when we arrived but soon warmed up and the other barrista, once she came on shift, was very kind and friendly. Coffee was great but I'm no expert. The breakfast burrito was disgraceful! I started installing Windows 10 (like a fool, who does something like that as a coffee shop???) and ended up having to stay there for hours while it chugged away and they were very understanding. A great coffee shop in general. Come get you some! read more

Yes, at a certain point in time, I have no doubts in my mind Caffè Mela was the signature local hot spot. Then one day, an idiot after another defiled what once differentiated Caffè Mela from the rest of local coffee shops. What does that mean? I'm at a complete loss. Given the circumstances, my lonely visit consisted of an annoying child, a disorganized event planning (discouraging me to move out of my seat), and a self-serve drip coffee topping almost $3.00! Even though my first visit was unpleasantly awkward, Caffè Mela makes up for its disappointment by presenting me with a perfect outside view of Iwa Sushi Bar and Grill from amongst its decorative atmosphere. read more

Try the local coffee roaster's social cafe location with featured art for First Friday Art Walk, where the espresso roast pairs really nicely in a mocha. read more

Fun downtown location with good food choices at a reasonable price, coffee is good but a bit pricey.

delicious coffee and a comfortable work setting! you'll for sure get your work done and feel motivated. they have super kind people with welcoming enthusiasm working and making the customer feel wanted. Almost feels like home and with positive energy all throughout, it might be even better than home. An amazing place to think and let out emotions. It'll help release stress and feel much more relaxed leaving this place. read more

My wife and little boy were staying in Wenatchee for the Leavenworth Christmas Festival and we decided to give Mela a shot. I ordered a salted caramel mocha and my wife ordered the hibiscus berry tea. We both really liked our drinks, but would have liked to see some different popular options, as they just had your typical coffee drinks listed and we aren't coffee experts. The experience was great and it seems like a really popular place. It was slammed around 9-10 am on a Sunday. read more

If you're on the east side of the mountains and coffee is calling your name, this is the place to be. This is some of the best artisanal coffee that you can find in Wenatchee. They have a variety of sandwiches and breakfast available daily. The food leaves a bit to be desired. I would say that based on the coffee alone, this is a solid joint. Hope the food can join the team. read more

My favorite coffee cafe in the Valley. I often stop here for their lattes while I do some work, personal or business. Comfortable ambiance with no stuffiness. Also, they feature different artists work on the walls for viewing, which is a wonderful way to introduce the Valley to local artistic talent. The cinnamon muffin is my splurge and the swan cookies. I have also purchased their on site roasted beans to grind and use at home. Very tasty. Keep going strong Mela. read more

Mela's my favorite coffee shop in the state hands-down. They're roasts are delicious, the food yummy and the atmosphere is great! It's like the "Cheers" of Wenatchee - it's where everyone comes to hang out and everyone knows your name. I'm never going back to Starbucks. read more
