    I don't have much experience with Latino foods, so my review isn't expert level. I thought the little empanadas were delicious and Americano coffee with a cookie - that was quite good too. The store itself is darling and has nice seating and tables so you can take your time to enjoy your treats. Easy parking in the back of the house. In a good location. Very clean and charming environment. Lots to choose from. Service was very good and welcoming. You should make this a spot at least once a month for friends and family.

    Discovered this gem while looking for a coffee shop nearby. Greeted with excellent customer service and the smell of the establishment made me crave for baked bread and sweet goods. I purchased a hot caramel macchiato and my daughter had the iced. I also couldn't resist and got the danish (apple and blueberry) along with a chicken empanada! I'm a huge "support local establishment" fan so I definitely will add this to one of my rare finds in Winder, Ga!

    This was my first time at Melas Bakery. I've lived in Winder for a few years now and never knew it was here. I'm so happy I came by because Betsy was the nicest, sweetest person ever! Her shop is so cute and welcoming! The kids had the ham & cheese which was delicious. I had the chicken empanada which was great! We also had a variety of sweets and none of them disappointed. I will be going back of course, definitely with friends to help spread the word!

    Aha! This is the place to fix your sweet tooth! Hubby and I were out for a ride since the weather…read morefinally warmed up. I'd had this shop marked in places I wanted to try so we decided to check it out. It's tucked away on a little side street, we just about missed it. The lady behind the counter, perhaps the owner, is so sweet! We felt so welcome! And these treats are made with love! From cookies to cakes and a few other sweet treats, she had quite the selection! I was tugged towards the pound cake, or maybe the chocolate layer cake or the pineapple cake but then I saw my Momma's favorite, Italian Cream Cake! It was always so hard to find (and a pain to make) so when I saw that in the display I knew that's the one I had to try. I have no regrets. It's a perfectly balanced cake with the right amount of frosting and mix-ins such as nuts and coconut. It's perfectly sweet and moist. When someone says they want Italian cream cake, this is what they want! Now I know where to go to order my cakes as just from this slice, I can tell this is the spot. A hidden gem in Winder, if you're not getting your cakes here, you are missing out. You gotta check it out!

    My coworker brought me a red velvet cheesecake from here the other day an it was so good when i…read moresay so good it was moist and soft , well worth the $5 for a slice . I would most definitely like to come in and try a few more things when i have a chance to be on this side of town. Red velvet cheesecake 6/10 .

    First time visiting here. The shop is adorable, bright blue doors and beautifully decorated inside…read morewith everything they sell visible. When we went the line was out the door as the customer area is tiny inside but it adds to the ambiance. We tried two pastries, can't recall the exact names - a peach and almond danish and a cinnamon bun. The peach danish but flaky and buttery. The peach flavor could have been a bit stronger but the danish was well made. The cinnamon bun was just live a cinnamon roll center without the icing but the custard in the middle was delicious. Excited to go back and get a load of bread. Prices were as expected.

    Darling neighborhood bakery with plenty of options for those with a sweet tooth or those looking…read morefor bread options for the week. My visit was during the morning rush so there was a line to order but aside from it allowing me more time to choose my breakfast treats, I was also able to watch the baker pulling out fresh bread from the oven. It's truly a working bakery. The blue and white exterior is very eye catching as you arrive in the area and the warm natural color tones inside the bakery are soothing and elegant. The staff who took my order, as well as the one who made my coffee order, were very friendly and calm, despite having a decent line of eager customers hoping what they wanted wasn't taken by the customers before them. Tight quarters inside so not really a place to sit and savor your selections but they do have seating outside, in a patio area next door. If you purchase loaves of bread, you are able to have it sliced! I'm looking forward to trying the bread next time I'm in town. Definitely add this place to your next visit to Athens!
