    Mely's Special: scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, avocado.
    Val C.

    We were driving through on on way to SF and took a chance on Mely 's Cafe. Service was top notch and our food was delicious!!

    Steak Sandwich
    Tiff P.

    I must confess. I've been here a handful of times and I keep forgetting to post my review. I have ordered a variety of items such as the Fettuccine Alfredo and Steak Sandwich. Both are good but what keeps me coming back is the Oscar Chicken. It is so delicious, from the Cajun Sauce that the Chicken is smothered in to the Real Crab Chunks packed in between the Chicken is just perfection Besides the Oscar Chicken, everytime I have placed an online order the food has always been ready. The staff is also very welcome and friendly. The restaurant itself is clean too.

    They charge extra for any dish made with eggs because of the egg shortage. Is there still a shortage? Basically, every dish is surcharged because everything is made with eggs? Lol The place is nice and tucked away in a small strip. The prices are not surprising with the rest of the market. I ordered the Benedict which was cooked nicely, but lacked flavor. It needed some spice or more salt, something. Nice service, nice interior, but not a place I'd visit frequently.

    Food was pretty good. Service was good as well. We came in for Father's Day. My kids loved the food and stuffed themselves. No bad experience at all. A great place to look for good food.

    Crab & Shrimp Croissant Melt

    The welcoming gracious owner was amazing. Made us feel as special guests. A1 service. I ordered the shrimp crab croissant melt. It was perfection. Served with a green mixed salad, tomatoes, mushrooms & Italian vinegarette dressing. Beverage choice was iced tea. I'd certainly return soon, to try other dishes

    Buttermilk Pancakes, fluffy and huge

    Will definitely come back again! service; Nice foods; Nice ambiance; everything just out of expectation from that area. Me and my family came with low hope during the thanksgiving holiday, but everything just so great! Service was very very good; Food-wise, the coffee isn't those rough coffee from other restaurants, this here is very smooth and perfect, the foods are absolutely delicious; The restaurant is small but the inside looks so Italy. Most importantly, the prices are reasonable from today's economic impact.

    This restaurant is so cute. It's in a little strip mall, but when you go in, they decorated it, Trendy and modern. You forget you're in a strip mall . Add great customer service. I ordered a mimosa and huevos rancheros. I already forgot the flavor of the mimosa, but it wasn't your typical orange juice mimosa, it was delicious and so were the huevos rancheros. In fact, I tried everyone else's meal and felt mine was the best choice.

    This is my first time rating our Awesome Sunday Breakfast Spot. We order via DoorDash from Melys just about EVERY Sunday. One of my personal favorites is the Ham Frittata. It is fresh, delicious and a large portion size.

From the…read moregravelled parking lot to the old sofas, live music, and a food trailer on what was once an abandoned lot, I loved this family- and dog-friendly spot. There are even games in the yard. A real surprise was the food. I had the avocado toast it was tasty, I would order it again. When I tasted the beef Philly I was ready to order one to go, but they had sold out. The rest of my friends had burgers, the vegetarian had fries, even the dog had a pup patty, and everyone enjoyed the food The music was almost too loud; however, because the stage is outside, it was not too uncomfortable. We heard two different bands. The loud music did make it hard to have a conversation. A word of warning that does not affect my rating: bees and yellow jackets are everywhere. There is nothing that the Backyard can do to keep these pests out of the yard.

While I got the Keller Beach Chicken Burger was also so good the chicken in other places is usually pretty dry but here it was just as juicy with all fresh veggies to go with it was amazing. Also we had our two dogs with us today the fact that they sell patties for dogs was a nice surprise our dogs enjoyed a quick snack with us. While yes there are no indoor seatings there are some outdoor seating with shade for a nice sunny day, listening to live music watching some others dance. It was a relaxing area to have as a hangout either by yourself, your partner or even as a group. I truly loved going to this place and definitely coming back!

The place is nicely decorated and had about 1 or 2 customers already. 2 dishes came out at the same time while the other 3 came to the table a few minutes later. The food was ok. My parents got the Mi Casa Desayuno. The waitress told my dad they were out of the fruit salad, which was weird, since the place had just opened. I guess they never had fruit in the first place. My brother choked on a large piece of plastic in his Tres Leches French Toast. I told one of the male staff members there was plastic in his dish, and he just said, "Sorry, it was probably the plastic from the bread's packaging," and then walked away. A few minutes later, I saw the waitress and pulled her aside to discreetly tell her there was plastic in my brother's meal. She told me she wanted to see it ( kind of with a tone of 'I don't believe you'), and I brought her over to the dish to show her. She didn't say anything, so I said we would happily pay for the other dishes, but could my brother's meal be comped for the choking hazard? The waitress turned and went to the kitchen, to, I guess, talk to someone about it. The waitress came back out, took the dish away, probably to show whoever was in the kitchen. A while later, she came back out with the check, but did not bother to explain to us what the plan was from there. We did see a 50% markdown on my brother's dish. It was really awkward because the waitress did not have a very pleasant or inviting attitude; she stood there glaring as we reviewed the bill and figured out the payment method. There was a serious lack of communication (not due to a language barrier; we are a Spanish-speaking family) and an unnecessary, blasé and mean demeanor from the waitress on Mother's Day.

I decided to order the champions bowl, which came with chicken apple sausage, potatoes, cheese, over easy eggs, and toast over a bed of salad. I was skeptical about all these ingredients working well together, but it most certainly did. The plate was both light and filling at the same time, and very delicious, especially when I got a nice bite of cheesy potatoes. If you come here, you must get one of their drinks. I got the iced matcha latter and my daughter got a kids hot chocolate. Both come with a super detailed bear ice cube. The matcha latte is a matcha ice cub bear and the hot chocolate is a chocolate iced bear. The idea is that as you sip your drink and the normal ice cubes melt, your drink won't be diluted because you also have more of the drink flavor blending in at the same time. For the hot chocolate, the bear helped to cool down the overall drink which made it a perfect sipping temperature for my 3 year old. Overall, great brunch spot, would highly recommend!

Luckily there was no line and we were seated immediately. I ordered the Carb Platter, which came with French toast, a croffle, waffle, fruit, berries, a creamy dipping sauce, and a side of bacon. The French toast was definitely the standout for me -- really flavorful and well done. The waffle had a nice crisp texture, and the croffle was buttery with good flavor as well. The bacon unfortunately missed the mark. It was very limp and chewy instead of crispy, almost like it had been boiled rather than cooked properly. Face ordered the California Omelette, which came with potatoes topped with a garlic pesto situation that was honestly really good. For drinks, I had the caramel latte, which was decent but could've used a little more sweetness. Face ordered the strawberry matcha latte, which had an adorable bear-shaped matcha ice cube on top -- super cute presentation -- though she also felt it could've used a bit more strawberry flavor and sweetness. Overall, definitely a place I'd come back to because there were several other things on the menu I'd like to try. Street parking only and metered, so plan ahead a little. Also realized this is where the old pastrami spot used to be -- RIP

We were even asked if we had food allergies they should be aware of - incredibly thoughtful. Our coffee ($4) and hibiscus tea were refilled without ask, the wait for food was minimal. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes ($15) with a side of eggs. Classic 2 Eggs ($18) comes with two eggs your way, English muffin or sour dough toast with home fries, rice or tater tots.

We had waited about 20-30 mins for a table of 2. We went back inside and there were some tables inside that were wrapping up their meal, but we were called and were given a table outside. My husband asked if we could wait for a table inside and the server said the wait would've been too long. Mind you it was raining, even if there is a covered awning, it was rather cold. About 2 mins later, after we were sat at our table, another group who was not waiting as long as we had, was told they'd be seated inside, just to give them a minute to clean the table. My husband wasn't happy. It is what it is, the place is small and they were just trying to do their best to accommodate the waitlist. Aside from that, service was great. Very nice servers. Food was quick to come to the table and it was piping hot. From where my husband was sitting he could see the owner (he verified it from a server) working hard in the kitchen! Food is worth the price. I wouldn't say it's outrageous pricing, as it's what you would find at other similar restaurants. If you compare this restaurant to Kitchen Story, I believe it out ranks. I had the spicy chicken Benedict, and the only complaint I have is there were too many green onions. That was my fault because I should have asked for it without. I love that you could get breakfast potatoes or tater tots. I obviously got the tater tots, which I did not regret! So crisp and delish! I also ordered the croffle! Never let anyone tell you ice cream isn't for breakfast because this place proves them wrong. Ugh, delish! I didn't eat any of the fruit but my husband said it was really fresh. My husband ordered the Sunday Scrambler and finished the entire plate before I had even finished half of my plate. Pretty sure he liked it, lol. Their coffee was perfect and super hot! The way it should be served. I saw a bunch of different drinks being served, which I look forward to trying over time. Bathroom, clean and didn't smell bad. I highly suggest this place if you're in the area.
