I was here yesterday for Christmas brunch and I appreciate that they have solid vegan options. I got the avocado tartine and subbed olive oil for pesto. They have tasty food, are family owned, and have been there for me a lot as someone who lives close by. Thanks, guys.

Good breakfast. Had eggs Benedict. Fresh squeezed orange juice. Nice! Server very pleasant. Only drawback was that the floor hadn't been swept. That's a turnoff for me.

It's one of San Pablos' hidden gems. I've been here a few times, and literally every dish has been great. The prices here are very low for the amazing taste and level of presentation. Great service too!

A recent second visit made a revision to my review necessary. The food wasn't nearly as good as the first visit. The service was inexcusably bad. Two visits, same time of the day and week, two really different results. I am not interested in that level of unpredictability at breakfast. The prices are still relatively low, so if that's your most important criteria, give it a try.

We went for lunch and got:
1️⃣A California Frittata ($15.95): This veggie omelet was pretty, but it was so bland I almost fell asleep. Needed way more flavor.
2️⃣A Steak Melt with Fries ($16.95): As a steak lover, I was in heaven with this thing. It was huge and super cheesy. Definitely worth the calories.
Oh, and the bathroom situation is a real mood killer. You gotta go to the next store.
Also, it's an Italian-American place, but no pasta or pizza for lunch🤔
Mely’s Café
Went for lunch with a friend and ordered: 1. California Frittata $15.95: Except for the eggs, this is completely vegetarian. The color combination is very beautiful, but it has to be eaten with sauce because the taste is too bland. 2. Lava cheese steak sandwich with fries (steak melt with fries) $16.95: As a beef lover, I ordered the sizzling steak sandwich with golden fries. I couldn’t finish it. I couldn’t finish it at all.
It is worth noting that there is no restroom in the store, so you have to walk to a neighboring store if necessary.
The strange thing is that this is an American-style Italian restaurant, but they don’t serve pasta for lunch, and they don’t have pancakes 🤔

I enjoyed a tasty weekday breakfast. Comfy vibe. The waitress chatted with me since my toddler isn't much of a conversationalist yet. Definitely will be back to try out more dishes.

I have been to Mely's numerous times and appreciate the consistent delicious food, and watm service! Mely's is the go to neighborhood restaurant.
Mely’s Cafe is hands down one of my favorite restaurants EVER. It is truly a hidden gem and I’m so glad it opened in this neighborhood.
My first, number one reason why I say Mely’s is one of the best restaurants ever is because THEIR PASTA DISHES ARE SO DELICIOUS AND UNMATCHED. When I first tasted their pasta, I was taken aback by how GOOD it was. The sauce was SO flavorful, SO savory, and so fulfilling.
The taste of wine in the sauce was so strong and potent, but not overbearing, that I was surprised that there was a restaurant nowadays that is still generous with the sauce and not skimping out on anything! Combined with great herbs and seasoning, their pasta dishes come out perfectly every time.
The pasta is the perfect consistency and texture with great mouthfeel. They don’t cut corners, and from what I was told, they use whole, fresh ingredients instead of processed ingredients, such as pre-made sauce.
I am always on the lookout for good Italian restaurants and delicious, authentic, well-made pasta dishes; I’ve been to a lot of different Italian restaurants in the Bay Area, trying many of them in search of tasty, satisfying, rich pasta dishes, so believe me when I say that Mely’s is actually one of the best places to eat pasta in all of the Bay Area!!! You might not think it because they serve other cuisines as well, which is why I was surprised at how well they do pastas!! I cannot sing the praises of their pasta ENOUGH; I truly am not exaggerating ???.
No one does pasta like them. I am always craving for their pastas and always defer to Mely’s as my restaurant of choice whenever I want to dine out by myself or with other people. Their portion sizes are generous and they don’t skimp out on ingredients! The food plating and presentation are also very nice.
I can truly get whatever I want at Mely’s—it’s like they have everything!! They have such a large selection, their menu is so diverse and long that you wouldn’t be able to be bored with it.
I love eating brunch food, and Mely’s is the perfect place for that too! The first time I had their hash browns, I was wowed because they were so crispy and fresh and perfectly-made! I also go to many other brunch restaurants, so I could tell that in comparison, Mely’s hash browns were special! Their freshly-juiced carrot juice is so delicious and refreshing too.
I am also grateful that they have vegetarian options. The chef is so nice, attentive, welcoming, and accommodating. I like a particular vegetarian pasta dish they have, but prefer that they make it with fettuccine pasta instead. When I mentioned it to the chef, he readily complied and said I could just tell him and he can make it for me like that.
Their waiter is also very nice and has good customer service. He is attentive and efficient so it’s just a nice added bonus on top of this all-around pleasant, satisfying restaurant. The food comes out very quickly too.
Mely’s Cafe is a convenient stop and I always know I will be guaranteed a good, tasty, scrumptious, filling meal. It is also like comfort food to me. Going to Mely’s simply brightens up my day because I just love their food ?. Their consistency in the quality they deliver makes them trustworthy to me. They have a small parking lot so it’s easy to just park and go in to eat.
I truly love Mely’s with all my heart and hope they are around for years to come. ❤️
Mely’s Cafe never disappoints, excellent service and even better food. Everything is made cook to order. Fresh and hot. I love going there with my family or just a a nice time out away from reality. The owner is almost always there, he’s very attentive. This is the best pasta and breakfast place I have tried so far around this area. Would 100% recommend. ☺️☺️
