Very friendly and helpful employees, generous samples, and limited, but comfortable seating inside. The shop is cute, and relaxing. They have lots of fun ice cream flavors! I had the mint, and it was so good! My husband and kids enjoyed their ice cream too. They also have sandwiches, which we will have to come back and try! read more

Saturday, 9-27-2025: We were craving these sandwiches after our grandson's soccer game. When we entered it was in a little disarray as there was a very bright, expansive mural in the progress of being painted. Staff were welcoming & friendly. Unfortunately, no Gabriel. We ordered our usual faves: Little Melo Sandwich & Tuna Salad Sandwich. It was served rather quickly for which we were grateful because we were starving. As before, sandwiches were scrumptious, the bread was to die for! We really enjoyed it very much! Their ice cream is so good. Great dining experience. We're fans. read more

Great sandwich shop. My husband and I ordered the club and we both loved it. Next time I would ask for mustard as well. My daughter ordered the Italian sub and loved hers as well. So much better than all the chain sandwich shops and it is great supporting a smaller business. Try it out you won't be dissapointed. read more

Melo was amazing at customer service and his sandwiches were delicious. I wish I could say that was the best part but I would be lying. The ice cream here is from a different planet. I've tried MANY different ice creams in America from MA to CA and this is the absolute best. Support a young man working hard to make something of himself.

How have I not yet written the review about Melo's?! my kids love this place and so do I. We first came here with friends one hot day after school for ice cream. I fell in love with a flavor called Fat Elvis because who can't?? Decided I needed to come back with my son and so on a half day from school, I bring both kids in for a sandwich and ice cream. We're chatting with the nice young man who is serving us and learned that he is in fact, Melo! The kids are now thrilled to know that they've met the owner and when we find him on Instagram, the children are now buzzing with excitement that they know someone who is "famous". Every time they get a good grade on a test or wanna celebrate something the request is always can we go to mellows. They want to say hi and enjoy how he looks after them ,letting them try different flavors occasionally get some to sample some new fun thing he's been working on. Everything is fresh. Everything is delicious and we love coming here. read more

Just went the for lunch at 12:30 on a Saturday and it was such a weird/odd experience. The sandwich was pretty, good, nothing amazing, but it was good. We got the Italian sub. The place was empty....at mid lunch on a Saturday. Looked like 2 staff members and were both in the back until one person greeted us and we said we needed some time to look at the menu. We were left out front for a solid 4-5 minutes waiting for her to come back and take our order. Odd sized table and booth setup.....you'll see what I mean if you go there. There was 1 single brownie in a 4 inch display right in front of where you order. I think I wanted one but had no clue if it was real/fake of for sale or not. It was just weird. A juice machine with 3 options for juice and 2 of them completely empty and the one with juice in it was 10% full. Machine also made a chirping sound and not really pleasant when sitting inside eating. We are locals and were hoping this place was going to be great because we never heard of it......but....eh. Sandwich was ok though lol! read more

If you're in Temecula and haven't tried Melos Sandwich and Dessert, you're seriously missing out. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, and the staff treats you like a regular even on your first visit. The sandwiches are incredible: fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and portions that actually satisfy. Every bite tastes thoughtfully made rather than rushed. And the desserts? Absolutely next level. Everything in the case looks beautiful and somehow tastes even better than it looks. What truly makes Melos special is their heart for the community. They regularly donate ice cream and contribute financially to local schools, supporting students and families throughout the area. It's rare to find a place that not only serves amazing food but also gives back in such meaningful ways. Between the quality, the kindness, and the community support, Melos isn't just a great place to eat, it's a place worth supporting. read more

The woman who answered told me she was busy and immediately hung up the phone. When I called back to ask for her name so I could report the interaction, she hung up on me again. I used to order from here frequently and really enjoyed it, but my last few experiences have been disappointing. The portions have been inconsistent, and several of the toppings I request are often missing or barely included. Overall, the quality and customer service have noticeably declined compared to a few months ago when the staff was much more consistent and attentive. I am absolutely disgusted by this "customer service."

I pass this place all the time and just have not got to stop. well I finally did last night. My kids loved the ice cream. I ordered a sandwich for my husband for work last night and he said it was definitely one of the better from around town. He said the bread was really soft and the whole thing tasted very fresh. The kids really did enjoy the ice cream more than cold stone or other places. They are already asking to go back! it definitely is a little more pricey than a chain, but that was to be expected. It was still a really fair price. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and the staff was very welcoming. It was a acute and quite setting that felt very inviting and calm. Definitely will stop in again soon! read more

Where to begin?! Super Good, High Quality, yummy food! We shared a club sub on the French roll, a broccoli cheddar soup, & strawberry hibiscus agua fresca! Everything was soooooo delicious. Afterwards, we couldn't not get a scoop of ice cream after seeing the variety of scrumptious flavors! After a few samples my daughter settled on "smore to love" and enjoyed every bite! My sample of "this $&!? Just got serious" was heavenly! Excited to comeback and try the cheesy beef sandwich!! Oh & the customer service and speed is just as amazing!! Melo himself took our order & served us and his customer service gets an A+. In my daughters words.... "12/10 would recommend" read more

Fantastic sandwich, panini, ice cream and more shop! I ordered a cado sandwich on a French roll and asked for it to add "Melo it" (extra toppings) it was so good. The bread was soft and fresh. Wonderful shop owned and operated by a local Temecula Resident, who graduated from one of our local high schools! We can't wait to go back again. read more

The owner is always working super hard and is super friendly and generous and offers samples for any flavor you like. Every time we come in he always just gives us samples when we are browsing the flavors without us asking for samples, so nice and hospitable! He truly is passionate about what he does and it shows in his craft! This time we finally tried the chimney cone, my goodness amazing! Very crispy yet soft and fluffy on the inside. We enjoyed dipping pieces of the pastry into our gelato for an elevated experience. We got the cinnamon sugar flavor and wow we will definitely be getting it everytime. Big enough for 2 people to share. Always such a pleasure coming here and we always bring people to this place, convenient seating with options inside and outside, always a great and social ambiance.

It's definitely the kind of place where you want to try more than one thing. The pastries we tried were really good--light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. You can tell they put care into the quality and presentation. The shop itself was clean and had a nice welcoming atmosphere which made it a pleasant place to stop by. Overall it's a great bakery if you're looking for fresh pastries or a dessert while in Temecula. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again to try more of their desserts.

To drink we had the salted caramel butterscotch latte, biscoff latte, blueberry shaken espresso with lemon cold foam. Everything we had was perfectly delicious, all the right textures and temperatures and loved the flavor. The chipotle aioli and jalepeno crème dressing were my favorites. The coffee syrups are house made and taste amazing, not too sweet. The coffee tastes great, not too strong or bitter. To top off the great quality food and drinks, customer service and the indoor vibe is so warm and welcoming. The staff treat you so politely and are so helpful without making you feel like they're talking to you like you're a friend. It's decorated using nature like colors so it's a natural modern feel.

The Coast is my favorite breakfast sandwich - ask for extra garlic aioli because it's that good. You can always request for a different egg temp, but their runny over easy egg is perfect here. Their coconut morning bun is amazing! That's probably our favorite croissant pastry there and you can't go wrong with their classic cinnamon roll either. My husband loves their peach cobbler cinnamon roll too (seasonal item). Minus a star because I've ordered their matcha here a few times just because maybe I didn't order the right matcha with the correct syrup - I don't know, but I've ordered their classic matcha latte and their seasonal mango matcha latte, and both times were disappointing. You can tell by the color of the matcha. It's a slightly grayish hint of green. In photos it looks like a dark vibrant green, but not in person. The mango matcha was slightly better, but not enough mango in my opinion - that could just be my personal reference. Everytime we come the service is always friendly. Everyone here is really nice and helpful if you don't know what to order. It's a cute little bakery with a bar top seating and a couple of tables tucked away inside, or you can hang out in the patio. Come early or later in the day if you want to snag a seat! We love Goat and Vine so we're glad Little Goat is here!

We stopped here on the way home from Pechanga while charging our Tesla and since it was in the same plaza, we figured we'd check it out. I assumed it was more of a franchise bakery than a standalone artisan spot, so I came in with pretty low expectations. I was just planning to grab a cinnamon roll, a loaf of their Cinnamon Burst Bread and a quick sandwich for the drive home. To my surprise, their house-made sandwiches are served on freshly baked bread, made with fresh ingredients, and cost under $10 (Panera could never!!!). Their baked goods were also reasonably priced with generous portions. We picked up the Cinnamon Burst Bread, a cinnamon roll, a honey bran muffin (which completely stole the show for me; it was incredibly moist and I'd come back just for that) and an almond poppy seed scone. The service here was just as impressive. Everyone was so friendly and personable and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed being there. I also loved their "Giving Rack," where anyone in need can take free baked goods. It's such a thoughtful idea and says a lot about the kind of business they are. This is easily one of my favorite bakery finds and it'll definitely be a regular stop whenever I'm back in the area.

There's a wall of jarred sauces, pickled vegetables, canned tomatoes, giardiniera, and more. There is seating inside the restaurant as well as outside. My favorite and go-to sandwich is the PLT. If you're a BLT fan you'll love this sandwich. It's an Italian take on the popular BLT; the PLT comes with sliced pancetta, sun-dried tomato pesto, lettuce, and tomatoes on a ciabatta roll and pressed in a panini press. Served with pepperoncinis on the side. While this sandwich is delicious, keep in mind as it takes a little longer to make in the panini press but it is worth it every time! If you're looking for an Italian Deli or a lunch date spot, Campini's is your place to go! Visit once, try something new and you won't regret it.
