If you haven't tried this charming cafe, then I suggest you make it your next stop. This is the only restaurant in the city that I've visited multiple times. Serving breakfast, brunch and lunch, this casual, family-owned cafe is open 6am-4pm seven days a week. The name, Meli, is the Greek word for honey, which they have imported directly from Greece.
They feature a variety of fresh squeezed juices, smoothies, cage free eggs and Lavazza brand coffee and espresso drinks. The menu contains everything from pancakes and crepes to skillets and omelets to soups and sandwiches. Daily specials appeal to any craving. They also have a healthy selections portion of the menu. I've never ordered anything I didn't love and the price is right for the high quality of the food.
The staff is always friendly and the service quick regardless of the crowd. Needless to say, I've always been more than satisfied with Meli Cafe and look for any opportunity to stop in.
