Mella Café is a lovely, cozy spot offering a wide selection of baked goods, gelato, waffles, sandwiches, smoothies, tea, and coffee. The beet cake is a homemade masterpiece, and the sardine silsi with bread is a standout. Recent visitors praise the friendly service and tasty coffee, with many highlighting the phenomenal coffee that is served at the right temperature. The sweet and hospitable team adds to the warm, home-like atmosphere, reminiscent of a café in Asmara. Guests have enjoyed the delicious pastries, especially recommending the Kitcha Fit Fit, which is fried flatbread or noodle served with sour cream or honey. The café's unique menu also features Ethiopian and Eritrean brunch items, setting it apart from typical offerings. Breakfast options, such as the egg frittata with freshly baked Portuguese style bread rolls, are flavorful and well-cooked. The fuul is noted for being flavorful without being too spicy, and the mango madness smoothie is praised for its freshness. The café also offers mini cannoli and the best baklava for just $2.00, all enjoyed by guests. The holiday decor inside creates a beautiful, inviting environment, making it a popular place to relax, especially during patio weather, and enjoy a satisfying meal.
