I am a certified latte snob; I require a well/properly made latte that isn't overly sweetened. We live in Oregon and visit Wenatchee at least once a year. When in Wenatchee, we always go to Mela because we know we will get a consistently excellent coffee. I absolutely love that Mela roasts its own beans right down the road. The service is always friendly and helpful, and the coffee shop itself is always clean and warm--the perfect environment to enjoy a superior cup of coffee. read more

We stopped by here when we were walking around downtown Wenatchee and the vibes were soooo good. The coffee was great and they had this freat sitting area with couches for us to warm up on. We got parking right up front too. Staff was very patient with my dietary restrictions and with my kids and their hot cocoa demands. read more

Really cute coffee shop with extensive coffee/tea offerings. I'm not a coffee person, so it's always nice when I can choose from more than just the tea bags. They have some really interesting tea options, and their matcha looked promising. I trust coffee shops that roast their own beans rather than featuring beans from another joint. I ended up having a white tea option, and it was delightful. Friendly staff who were patient and knowledgeable. My husband was able to learn a few tips on making good latte art. We sat at the bar area and observed closely. Really enjoyed our experience and will come back. read more

I am from the east in town for work. Goal is to always find a local coffee shop and Mela was an outstanding choice! Locally roasted beans, great atmosphere, service and the coffee was amazing! Came here every morning I was in town. I would highly recommend stopping in for the coffee and local vibe! read more

The drinks were pretty good! I had the white chocolate mocha, and my daughter had the matcha, and we both enjoyed them. The Home Run cookie was delicious and definitely worth getting. The scone had good flavor, but it was very dry and crumbly, even after I warmed it up for about 15 seconds when I got home. I probably wouldn't recommend the scone, but I'd definitely come back for the drinks and cookie. read more

Mela Coffee Roasting is a good spot to get coffee in the downtown area of Wenatchee as it features all the classics and more, with breakfast items in an inviting space. I'm always down to support local, small coffee shops and Mela Coffee makes it easy to do just that. We visited Mela for some coffee and a light breakfast on a Sunday and the place was busy, but the line wasn't too long and we were able to snag a table in the shade outside of the shop. Inside, I noticed there was a stage area, in addition to lots of comfy seating, which makes for a great community space. I ordered a drip and my partner had the chai tea with spice, and we shared a breakfast burrito. The drip was solid and smooth, so was a nice pick-me-up. My partner enjoyed his chai, especially since it had more spice than sugar/a sweet flavor. The breakfast burrito was salty and good enough that the side of spicy mayo was unnecessary. Overall, if you're looking for a coffee spot in downtown Wenatchee, Mela Coffee Roasting is the coffee spot you're likely to visit and enjoy. I recommend. read more

So convenient. Tasty drinks and pastries. Seemed a little spendy. Nice space and service.

This is where the locals go I imagine. Very popular choice with great ppl behind the counter. Lines can get long on the weekends and you'll require lots of patience. I ordered a few pastries and requested them to be heated up. I thought they'd use an oven but they use a good old microwave. Hey, whatever does the trick. Great London Fogs and Espresso based drinks. read more

Mela Coffee Roasting - Busy lines they reached the door. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wenatchee, Washington

Located in downtown, we moved out of Wenatchee before this place opened up. A beautiful building and inside was nice and spacious with multiple areas to sit. They have a nice bar you can sit and enjoy your drink as well. My daughter got hot tea but it was so hot it reminded me of the McDonald's lawsuit where the woman sued for getting 3rd degree burns. We asked for another cup and put some ice water that they offer at the back counter in it to cool it enough to be able to drink it. My coffee was a good cup of coffee nothing more. My husband got the mocha and said it was good. I wasn't paying attention to the prices so I don't know if it was overpriced. I did go into 2 other coffee places and just a cup of coffee was twice as much as I usually pay outside of Wenatchee. Still if in downtown you should go in and check it out. read more

Great coffee and atmosphere!! Really enjoyed a seat on the sidewalk and enjoyed the great weather!

Very friendly staff. A little pricey for a bagel sandwich and coffee. But I think everything is going up with inflation. read more

Though we didn't eat here, the food did look tasty. The service was exceptional and the vibe of the place was warm and inviting. Many guests either meeting for a meeting or with friends. Should we return to Wenatchee this will be our go to place. We love supporting small businesses. read more

Cute place in downtown Wenatchee. I liked the rustic/brick decor inside. We both got an oat milk latte- they use califia oat milk. They were pretty good! Not overly creamy but I think next time I'd maybe get a touch of sweeter added as they did taste pretty strong for what I'm used to. The location is nice and in the center of downtown. read more

What a great place to start your day at. The team was super helpful and took our order fast. We had a nice seat by the window and the coffee and food was ready fast. My vanilla white mocha was among the best I've ever had. The breakfast burrito was warm and tasty. It was cooked beautifully and the dip added the right amount of tang. This is a great place! read more

We stopped in at Mela's for the very first time ever! Such a calming mellow ambience and it was so refreshing to see customers playing chess and having a nice time. The barista was very nice and patient with my questions. I opted for a camomile iced tea and when I took the first sip I felt like I just took a sip of spring! It was sooo refreshing. In that moment, I was elevated and in a happy place. read more

Holy high tea! I went ere to meet someone for a meeting. I ordered a 16oz iced tea. The price was $6.55 before tax and any tip. Ummmm what! The ambiance was nice and the service is what you would expect from a coffee place. Now, I try to go local anytime I possibly can. However, I cannot justify being taken to the cleaners either. Just understand make sure you have some serious cash on hand if it's more than you drinking something here. Maybe ice water is the best option. read more

Mela tries hard and mostly succeeds. Although I can't think of anything I would do differently if I owned the place, there just seems to be a tiny bit off that you can't quite put your finger on that prevents a five star rating. They have these burritos for breakfast which aren't the best, but the sauce that comes with them is incredible and takes them over the top. Their espresso is the best in town. If they had a drive through I would never go to Auto-Mocha. Try a cappuccino with a biscotti one day. Dip the biscotti in the cap. You won't regret it. 4.5 stars. read more

When I'm in a new town I am always looking for the best local coffee to try. I love espresso and it's hard to find a dark roast with good flavor. This is the best coffee shop I have tried in years. Their espresso was dark and full of flavor. The baristas were very friendly and they had a lot of indoor seating with a lot of locals. If you're looking for a good cup of coffee, this is the place to go. read more

Mela Coffee Roasting - Latte, unfortunately I drank half before taking the photo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wenatchee, Washington

Nice spot, interior was modern and comfortable. Could see myself working remote at the cafe. Coffee was average, breakfast burrito was pretty good. Service was on the slow side, but friendly. Would go back but after trying a bunch of other places read more

I visited here before come back from Wenatchee. I got Ethiopia yirgacheffe dopio and ice americano. Their coffee was fresh and good maybe because they roast their own. I loved that they have many single origin choices. I loved the drawings on the wall. I wish they open cafe in Seattle too. In my opinion, this is one of few do good specialty coffee. read more

HI-5 TO DALTON - Great Customer Service! We needed two bags of our favorite Mela blend, Squilchuck, but we were leaving in a few days. It was not available in their Cafe Mela and I tried ordering online but it may have taken several days for USPS delivery. I stopped at the Mela Roastery on Orondo St. Dalton greeted me when I entered. I told him my dilemma and he offered to have two bags waiting for me in an hour, right after my meeting a block away. Roasted fresh that same day. Thanks Dalton. Suggestion for Mela: add a Pick Up option for your online ordering. read more

First time visiting Wenatchee WA. It's a nice beautiful city/town whatever you it. I'm always a fan of going to a local cafe than Starbuck. I found this place when I was walking around the downtown area. I decided to go in and give them a try. The inside of the cafe looks decent and the atmosphere is warming, not too big or small and it looks very clean and open space. The best part I liked about "Mela" is they have a bar. They don't serve alcohol but they do serve non-alcoholic drink and foods. Friendly service, I order an expresso. It was alright, but I do like the drawing of my leaf. Only thing could improve if they actually said something about my drink was ready that will be awesome. They just left it at the counter, I was just sitting at the bar waiting with my friend. It wasn't a big deal I just got my drink late haha. I would go back there and just grab a drink and sit there with my computer or book and spend couple hours there. read more

All good, great staff and great coffee. Such a cool place and setting with lots of streetwise tables. Staff should have professional uniforms and work on the grooming a bit to match the quality of the establishment and the coffee quality. Still I give it five stars. read more

Mela Coffee Roasting - Such a great atmosphere! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wenatchee, Washington

Wow! I really enjoy this coffee shop in downtown Wenatchee. I visited to eat breakfast and get work done. The oatmeal is unique because it doesn't have a gummy consistency. It's as each oat is heated to where it's edible and you can enjoy each toothsome oat. I'm not sure how they cook it to get that consistency. It was very beautiful to look at and even better to eat. I ordered the special coffee a ginger bee. Coffee with ginger syrup, honey, and foam. It was different as I'm more of a milk drinker with coffee instead of being a coffee addict. It wasn't too sweet nor too coffee-ey. They had plenty of seating areas with walls decorated with art. They have many other breakfast options I look forward to trying. read more

Mela Coffee Roasting - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Wenatchee, Washington

I haven't been to this coffee shop in years! There have been a lot of positive changes to this place since I had last been. (Back then it was known as Cafe Mela.) I met a friend for brunch and ordered the French toast and a salted caramel latte. I'm kind of a coffee snob and felt like the bean was a little too bitter for my liking. I am aware that they now roast their own coffee and have lots of take home options. The French toast had a lot of cinnamon and not very many berries. It was good. Most places I frequently brunch at have a side of meat that comes with the French toast to balance out the sweetness. For $12 I was slightly disappointed. I was impressed with the display of art available to purchase and the vibe of this cafe. I noticed the cafe was extremely popular and it had a lot of traffic come through the doors while I was "dining". read more

Nice facility, coffee is subpar. Probably good or above average for the Eastside but this isn't worth going to specifically because the coffee is worth it, but there aren't really any options in the area. Coffee snobs will be disappointed, "Starbucks people" will probably not notice a difference. This is a classic case of higher review inflation because of lack of any decent options. The coffee is a 3/5, facility and staff 5/5, food 4/5. I had a latte with 2 extra shots and a breakfast burrito. Wife had parfait and dirty chai. My coffee was burnt, and very bitter. No complex flavor. read more

This coffee shop has tasty espresso, as well as some food options in a lovely space. Our barista was kind and helpful, she made accommodations for my daughter's dairy allergy. We were hoping to get a salad or a wrap, but they had run out of those particular items for the day (I will add that we were there in a Saturday afternoon, so this is understandable). We purchased a bag of their Saddlerock beans to use for pour over at home and I wish that we would have purchased another bag because it's exceptionally delicious and was very recently roasted. read more

Love a good coffee shop! This place has the perfect seating and ambience for people watching and enjoying your coffee. I ordered the cold brew, which was strong and smooth. The next time I came I ordered a hot drip coffee and the sausage breakfast sandwich. The coffee was perfection and the sausage sandwich was pretty good. Came on an English muffin and had a chipotle sauce that made it very delicious. Overall a great place to catch up with friends read more

Good choice for coffee in town. Spacious inside with outdoor seating too. They served a good breve and chai latte.

Stopped by Mela after leaving my hotel and was glad I did! Staff was very friendly, and there were plenty of people enjoying the atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. My sister got a muffin and chai, I got coffee and a quiche and all of it was 10/10! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming by the area read more

Why 3 stars? Because no hot breakfast on Sundays is unfortunate. --- --- --- I was very excited to try some solid breakfast, but learned that they basically only have muffins on Sundays. I think there could absolutely be a good reason for this - i.e. Sunday is the day off for the owners, the owners go to church on Sunday instead of cooking, etc. etc. But there's no mention of this on the website, and no one enjoys looking forward to something, only for it not to happen. The second reason for my 3-star rating was the general apathy of the employee working during our visit. I don't need the whole "WELCOME TO MELA!!" treatment, but a glance up and a half-smile would have been amazing. Being my first time here, I wasn't sure where the line really started to order. There were just people awkwardly standing in different places near the counter, and I just kind of made my best guess at it. The girl behind the counter didn't look up or address us at all, and when we got to the front of the line, she just seemed generally to not be enjoying herself very much. My cappuccino was nice, but it sure would have gone better with a hot breakfast and a smile. read more

Coffee is good but not great, normally have a medium and a medium dark roast. They only have sugar or stevia as sweetener options. Limited breakfast options, but what they have is good. We had the biscuit sliders and the fruitmeal oatmeal. If you order drip coffee to stay it's unlimited refills. read more

I asked the barista what they offered for espresso and she looked confused; so I asked if it was a blend and they said no but I could look at the bag: it says "signature blend" on the front. I asked if they had other brew methods available (specifically a french press for their Costa Rican). They told me "no" because it was too busy and making a french press took too long: There were only 3 people in line including me. The espresso definitely had potential but mine was over-extracted. And were they too busy, or just too interested in getting back to their phones? *see picture taken almost immediately after we sat down. The shop was very nice - well decorated, skilled lighting, and quality music. It definitely had a pleasing atmosphere. read more
