Great little spot for a grab and go breakfast and coffee. There were like three super small tables so best for a grab and walk situation.
I was staying at Parc 55 for work and this was my go to Cafe everyday. They had the best Iced Breve(Half & Half) Caramel Mochas, the Carrot Cake was to live for,and the marinated Chicken Sandwich was ahhhhh-mazing! If you are in the areas you must buy local and enjoy deliciousness!!!
Just had the best pastrami sandwich. After a very long day of travelling from Europe, this was heaven. All is fresly prepared. And also the pastries looked very tempting. Thank you, see you for coffee tomorrow ;-) kind regards from a Dutch flight attendant
A very nice cafe shop for the morning if you stay at the Grand Hyatt in Stockon. It locates right across the hotel. The avocado toast with egg and tomatoes looked and tasted very good.
Cheap and cheerful. Delicious and great value for money. I ordered the egg and cheese bagel with avocado extra. Perfect. The jalapeños in the bagel were a great touch. I will most certainly be back.
Great service. Polite. Clean. Lots of options. Great prices. I had the Chicken sandwich on Dutch crutch roll. It was delicious and filling. Will come back and try other things.
We spent three days in San Francisco and ended up eating exclusively at Mellis Café, and honestly, it was the highlight of our trip. There’s something truly special about their food: everything tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. On top of that, the service consistently exceeded our expectations, making each visit even more enjoyable. Thank you so much.
This hands down was one of THE BEST sandwiches I've ever had! The flavor was such a great and perfect combination of fresh and savory. I had intended to go to a place across the street but they were taking forever to let me take an order bc a dinner rush had just come in. I was getting hangry and so I looked up what was nearby and saw Mellis Cafe and it had even higher reviews than the place I was at. I now know why! You can smell the tasty food from down the corner walking up to it. I had a marinated chicken sandwich on sourdough bread. The baked goods also looked fantastic. I had a chicken empanada as well. The person serving me said they were Algerian. It was my first time having Algerian cuisine if that's so but I NEED to have more!!
Best bagel in hole feeling in San fransisco (or the only one) if you are looking for NYC style bagel, this is it. Egg is more softer than I like, but I guess this is not nyc bagel. It's really feel like bodega haha. Drop coffee, bagel, sandwich. Didn't try the baklava but keep seeing people buying them.
Came in around 7am, it's a lovely spot that's also open at a very early time. If i had wanted to i wouldn't have had any problems sitting down one of their tables. But note it's roughly outside and there aren't many seats Food was lovely, i had their chocolate pistachio baklava, turkish delight and a slice of dubai chocolate cake. They were all nice Service was great, staff was very friendly and helpful Atmosphere was nice, very quiet spot and the place itself is just full of snacks.
