I LOVE MELOS!!! So I live in San Diego but I come over here craving these sandwiches. For real the best sandwiches ever! And the ice cream is supper good and unique Turns out that each time we've come in, we've actually been helped out by the owner Melo himself! He's extremely kind and you can see the love he has for his business and each costumer. This place is fun too! It has spots to take pictures and my favorite, a chalk board where you can just draw what ever. Plus there a tv that plays bmx and other interesting sports and the music is always good. The perfect spot for a family hang out or a cute date. Don't let the prices fool you. They do have limited staff as a small business, however, the wait (and price) is WORTH IT!!! read more

January 2026 visit: I was in the mood for one of their sandwiches and got it for takeout. It tasted slightly different as it didn't have the same impact on me the first few times, but it was still good. 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. Doesn't hurt that you might become addicted to his food and ice cream 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

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

Delicious and fresh ingredients! I enjoy the vibe with the painted murals and great service. Definitely my new sandwich spot! 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

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

Amazing sandwich (Big Mello)!! Amazing customer service. A gem - highly recommended. Will come back next time we are in the area.

Open faced veggie on squaw bread, add bacon is definitely my favorite. Delicious o. Service is amazing. Yummy. Mmmmm. Tons of fresh, delicious desserts to satisfy my sweet tooth. Plus, they have my must have cheat drink Diet Coke. Melos is the best, hard working desserts & sandwiches shop in Temecula, California. Hands down the most amazing experiences I have ever had. Still gotta go back and been craving an ice cream sandwich, squashed between two delicious, warm, satisfying chocolate chip cookies. Did I mention mouth watering chocolate? Always Proud.

Local small business right off of Temecula Parkway worth a visit and many returns. The family stopped by here a while back for sandwiches and ice cream. I remember the sandwiches A Club Sub minus the bacon and a The Roast sandwich. Both memorable and the kids liked the ice cream!. Tonight I had the opportunity to taste the ice cream which I hadn't the last visit. I had the fat Elvis and the strawberry cheesecake, both very good! The owner is a nice young man. Give this place a try. Support local small businesses!! 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

Came in a few months ago and got something a Big Melo and I devoured it. Came back to town and stopped in again today and met the owner, Melo, after coaching some games today. Real down to earth dude that can serve up some bomb @$$ sandwiches. Appreciate the chat and the food man. Definitely making this my go to spot when I'm here for coaching read more

I am a "Senior Woman" who has eaten ice cream for many years. Melo's has the best ice cream I've had in my whole life! Their flavors are unique, and the taste is "extremely naughty"! This is not for dieters or those "eating clean." It is for those who want a special treat that is extraordinary! The counter service is friendly, polite, and feels like family. I haven't tried the sandwich menu yet, but I'll be back! read more

Delicious sandwich and ice cream! And really kind and friendly customer service. I will definitely be back!

Just came across this lil gem as I'm looking for a place that doesn't sell over breaded fried grub or that isn't commercially processed. Fresh and tasty ingredients. Great tasting sandwich selections....even found me some squaw bread. And when you're done, get you some ice cream. Great unique selections. read more

Friendly service. I had the veggie sandwich. It was delicious and all the produce in the sandwich were fresh. Their ice cream is delicious too. My husband enjoyed his birria sandwich. Cute place to grab a bite to eat and for dessert. The place is clean and inviting. We will be back. read more

Melo's been my go to since the beginning. Family owned, good vibes, and the food never misses. The Italian and the jalapeño cheese bread panini are always my move. I stop by all the time on Temecula Parkway for a sandwich and an agua fresca. Me and my people love this spot. 10/10 read more

Wonderful local spot with fresh, allergy friendly, and flavorful sandwiches and ice cream. Had tuna on squaw and roast beef on panini sourdough (the garlic aioli is a must). Both sandwiches were well-balanced flavors and the bread was soft and fresh. Ice cream is a must! Flavor combinations are soo fun. The variety of allergy friendly ice creams is incredible!!! The service was top notch and very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely recommend to friends and return soon. PS. The strawberry hibiscus drink is amazing, especially on a summer day. read more

What an incredible deli and dessert spot!! We were craving deli sandwiches for dinner and this place popped up on our way home from work. Their menu had a variety of simple yet TASTY flavors that also cater to dietary needs! I enjoyed the Birria Panini that came with Consommé, the pepper jack cheese added a mild kick and the beef was juicy and tender. The cucumber lime Agua Fresca was refreshing, and I ended my dinner with a raspberry cheesecake ice cream. Mr. Marky (sp?) greeted us as we walked in the door, helped with menu items and made recommendations. He prepared our meals, carried on a friendly conversation about the business and their food brands, and checked in on us as we savored each bite! They had a wide variety of ice cream flavors to choose from!! Gluten free, dairy free, to accommodate dietary needs. The store had tables and chairs to accommodate families. Very spacious and clean. The sounds of real music from our legendary James Brown and the stylistics can be heard in the background throughout the store. We look forward to coming back again to try other items in the menu! Definitely a Hidden Gem!!! Highly recommend!! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite eat. We ordered the Italian Sub and the Veggie Sandwich. Got the Italian on Rye and the bread was very fresh as were the veggies. Good sandwiches at a fair price. Also got a couple of scoops of ice cream. The S'mores and the Strawberry Cheesecake both were so flavorful. Happy to have found a great little shop near the house. We'll be back! read more
