Mel's Mocha & Ice Cream

There's a "secret" route through tight, windy roads that I like to take going to Sacramento on weekends just to avoid the traffic. It takes you into small, hidden towns where places like this exist! The route is a little bit longer but halfway in (or out?) we love making this our pit stop. I come mainly for the coffee or ice cream (afigato!) but they also have sandwiches or salads if you're feeling hungry. The service has usually been pretty friendly. They've got seating inside with TVs or there are a few tables outside and has always been clean when we stop by there.

Whenever I pass this place I say I'm going to stop by. Today I did. There was only one person working so I did have to wait a good amount of time. They sell a variety of things. I was able to try the icecream before purchasing. The price for icecream was really good and the amount they give is a lot. I ordered the single scoop I shouldve ordered the kid scoop because it was enough to share. I tried the butter brickle carmel icecream and it is to die for literally. I will definitely be back.

I went here for ice cream and this was much better than I expected. I went in and the staff were nice, so I ordered a bowl with 2 scoops of ice cream, which one scoop is large, so 1 will fill you up, but I got 2, and they were big scoops. The ice cream place was clean, and it had lots of space to sit, I sat outside and enjoyed my ice cream. The restrooms are also clean! I would recommend this ice cream place if you want good ice cream.

Best Ice Cream ever. My only wish is that they have peanut butter/chocolate.They do have generous size scoops and their banana splits are to die for.

Having an amazing day on the motorcycle, riding on the River Road and decided to stop and get ice cream. As we walked in, I swear I heard a scratched record...or was it crickets?Three unsmiling and unwelcoming young women walked out from behind the counter to assist. Even my extroverted happy attitude and jokes had no effect.We ordered our ice cream and left. I am not likely to stop here again.Hahaha just reading some other reviews. I guess they don't like lesbians either.

Having forgotten my lunch, I was in a pinch. I stopped by Mel's to get a sandwich. I loved that I could create my own sandwich with a choice of deli meats, cheeses, and toppings. The sandwich was made right on the spot and served its purpose. I love Gunther's ice cream, so I will definitely be back to check out more items from the menu. This is definitely a small, local spot, and I am glad to support a small local business.

One thing that is really fun to do is get up early and visit Walnut Grove and historic Locke when the morning is very young. The Sacramento river is all glassed off and the town hasn't fully awakened for the day. Drop into Mel's for a fresh bagel and coffee, a fresh sandwich or an ice-cold smoothie... It really doesn't matter what you get, it is always served up with a helping of warm hospitality that can only be found in a place like Walnut Grove. Mel's is a favorite and we like to go up there just to chill and enjoy the relaxing moments that lead to really good days. You can always be sure the service will be open and kind, and, if you are lucky, you might even find that one of the locals has brought in a bag of fresh-picked stone-fruit and be invited to enjoy some. You could blow right on past this inland gem on the 5 and never know what you missed, and that would be to your own loss.

$12 for a small sandwich? Went there based on an older picture showing the sandwiches were $8.When I got there ordered a turkey on a French roll with pepperjack, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo.Sandwich was not that big. I've been to other places where I ate half, was full and at the other half later for less money.Was the sandwich good? Yes, good, but not great. Would I go back? Probably not.Lira's in RV has a larger and better sandwich for less. Or you could go to Burgerlicious in RV and get a burger and fries for less than $11 (and it's a big burger with a lot of fries that will keep you full for a while.I believe 3 star rating is right on point. It was okay.

Every time we drive thru Walnut Grove, we have to stop here. Because they never disappoint. Today was more of the same. It's been a rainy last couple of days so I chose a hot drink instead of my usual epic sundae. The Hot Caramel Apple is soooo good!! Recommend 10/10. As is everything there, always lol.

The ice cream was Very good and creamy but the lady who took my order was extremely rude and rushed me while placing my order. I asked her to take some ice cream off the cone becuase it was a lot and she proceeded to throw my order away and asked me very hostile what do you want then. Good ice cream but terrible service I downloaded this app just to leave this review that's how bad it was
