Melo's Café

Great little coffee shop with pastries and very friendly staff. There was a whole case of delicious looking baked goods and the barista helped me figure out which ones to take home. Two large lattes and three pastries (two vanilla cream filled and one Apple turnover) set us back only $10. Not bad for a morning snack! Go here and try a few new things!

Well this isn't a real coffee latte place. Mex bakery and they have a minimal coffee machine so I'm going to continue back to an Italian restaurant I passed enroute walking here a mile from hotel.

Stopped by in the early morning for b-fast items while waiting for work on my car to finish. Disappointed that there were no b-fast sandwiches, but there was a big container of freshly made chicken tamales available! So, of course, we got a couple to try. They were AWESOME! Silky soft and moist corn with flavorful chicken and potatoes. Delicious! Who knew? Recommend!

Love their coffee and cappuccinos, the Guatemalan and Salvadoran sweet breads are fresh and delicious!!! Also, their breakfast sandwiches hit the spot.

Cute coffee shop to stop into especially if you're on your way to the airport. Choose from a range of traditional baked Mexican goods, or go for some coffee/ espresso and smoothies. The sweetest woman ran this shop. I only stopped in quickly to order a small latte ($2.50) with hazelnut (+$0.50), but I was very satisfied. Temperature wasn't scalding either so I was able to consume my drink on the spot. Strong hazelnut presence which I enjoyed very much. I really wished I had tried the baked goods. The temptation was so real though!

I was hoping for a real latte place in East Boston, but was disappointed with Melo's. Ordered a vanilla latte, but it tasted like coffee with some milk in it. Very minimal vanilla flavor and no sweetness at all. We also tried a couple of pastries which were underwhelming. They were dry and didn't have much flavor. They also didn't put very much filling into the pastry which was disappointing because the filling was the best part. Maybe we didn't pick the right pastries, but Melo's fell flat for me.

Their coffee and pastries are incredible. My partner and I try to go every weekend, this is definitely our favorite coffee spot in the area!

Love this place. The bread is really good.They many to choose from. What I like the most Is the millojas. Everything is delicious!

The worst coffee I have ever had and the pastries were stale. This is a convenient store and they should leave food services to the professionals.

I want to start by saying that I have been coming to Melos for awhile know. Maritza is awesome and has never messed up an order. Coffee has been delish as well. I do not have any intention to harm a business, however, I do feel it is important to share my experience today. My friend and I came in today to grab coffee and a bagel on our way into school. We are teachers are were coming in on a Sunday to prep for school being out for the next 6 weeks. When my friend placed the order, there was a guy behind the counter that was talking to his friend and very distracted. I had to repeat my order a few times. Two Egg and cheese on a bagel and coffee. I get to school, take a bite of my sandwich and it has has bacon. I am allergic to Bacon, and decideTo call them to let them know if the mistake. We call and right away the guy on the other line thinks we are lying. He insists (with an attitude) that he made the sandwiches right. He then says that it was someone else who messes up. We remind him that he was distracted and had to repeat our order. We ask for a refund and says that we will have to bring him the sandwich so he can see, because he doesn't believe us. He also says that Maritza left for the day so we will have to come back tomorrow. We finish our work at school and on our way back, go inside and there is no one there. "Hello!??! Hello?!! " nothing. We are about to leave and the guy comes in from the outside. We show him the sandwich (he then hangs up on his personal call... apparently he is a social butterfly) . He then says that we should have made sure that he made the sandwiches right. He eventually called Maritza and returned the money in cash. By that point we had some awkward turtle moments because a few customers had come in to witness this made speaking to us, so rudely. I cannot cannot believe that we are in a situation where COVD-19 is hurting businesses, and you would consider treating a customer in such a poor manner. We just wanted to grab breakfast and go. If I wanted someone to be rude to me, I would call my sister, who charges nothing for her tude. Never again, Mellos.
