Bennette I.

This is in one of those corner stores that look generic but is a hidden gem. We stayed at the Parc 55 Hilton and Mellis is located right on the corner. We ordered a two bagel sandwiches, coffee and tea. The bagels went toe to toe with other famous bagel spots. I had an everything with bacon, egg and avocado. Seriously hit the spot! I went back later for a carrot cake and devoured it within minutes. Such a sleeper - so worth the stop!

Great selection of items especially if you want a late night snack. They are also open pretty early if you need to grab something during your morning commute.

Close proximity to our hotel, fast service, and good coffee. There was an assortment of pastry choices, I had the cheese danish and it was delicious. A good spot to grab and go.

Chicken empanada

This hands down was one of THE BEST sandwiches I've ever had! The flavor was such a great and perfect combination of fresh and savory. I had intended to go to a place across the street but they were taking forever to let me take an order bc a dinner rush had just come in. I was getting hangry and so I looked up what was nearby and saw Mellis Cafe and it had even higher reviews than the place I was at. I now know why! You can smell the tasty food from down the corner walking up to it. The baked goods also looked fantastic. I had a chicken empanada as well. The person serving me said they were Algerian. It was my first time having Algerian cuisine but I NEED to have more!!

Great sandwiches! A rather large selection of items, hot and cold sandwiches, baked items. The baklava and cookies looked delicious! Coffee tasted great! The couple there was very friendly

This little bodega makes way better coffee and breakfast than I could ever have imagined. Great fresh baked goods and excellent sandwiches. Prices were great as well and the coffee was fresh and tasty! Limited seating but we were able to enjoy our breakfast while most grab and go. They've got a lot to offer for such a small place very impressive! Would definitely come back!

No frills bagel sandwich coffee shop. The sandwich is only $11 and super filling!!! What a great spot to grab a quick easy delicious bite! The Dutch crunch bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Is a must get for the perfect sandwich bite. The turkey sandwich I got automatically came with mayo and mustard which if I had known I wouldn't have asked for it but honestly it worked so well with the sandwich I actually enjoyed those condiments!

I absolutely love this spot, this really is the cutest little bodega in San Francisco. They have bagels, coffee, sandwiches, and much more. Me and my wife got a turkey sandwich on Dutch crunch and the bread was the star it was so fresh and delicious! It's right by the trolly carts if you want to grab a bite before a nice little ride. My daughter ordered the Nutella on a bagel and a water, she was satisfied. It came out to 19$ for everything which is pretty standard for California anyways. They were super friendly, and that's a compliment coming from service in San Francisco lol. They have tables in the front if you like to sit and people watch or just take a break from walking. This place truly is a 5. I'll definitely come back again and again. Next time I'll try the coffee

Turkey, provolone, on wheat!

I was running a couple errands and looking for something healthy and affordable. I asked two people at Enterprise and Parc 55 where I should grab a sandwich - the two people both said Mellis Cafe. What a nice place, great vibe, great people, and deliciosu

All around pleasant experience in terms of both the service and coffee. I had the flight and…read morethought it was overall good. They explained that the flight includes an espresso shot, espresso shot with milk, hot coffee, and iced coffee. I hadn't had a straight espresso shot before, so this wasn't for me personally just because it was so overpowering. I enjoyed the other three though. Like the majority of SF, parking is difficult to locate. I was dropped off nearby the location. There is indoor and outdoor seating; I was able to grab an empty spot late in the morning on a weekend, but I don't think seating is always readily available. It's not a huge space.

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

On the days we have gone, the line has varied from being out the door to a quick walk in and order - truly just depends. Regardless of the long line, these drinks are soooo good. Upon entering the coffee shop, you'll see a good amount of seating, but for the times we have gone, the majority of the seats are taken. It is definitely a variety of people socializing, working, reading books, or just hanging out. Parking is metered or street parking, and we haven't had any issue finding parking! It's also in an area where you can shop around (across the street) if you want to grab a bite as well. Our go to orders include the Mocha Dream Espresso Cloud and the Nitro Mango, but we have also gotten the Hojicha Cloud, which is amazing as well. We love the thickness and flavors of the cold foams - you cannot go wrong with any of the cloud drinks. As popular as this place has become, it truly is worth the trip! We will always make a trip whenever we are in the city!

We waited quite a while, and while the drinks were good, I'm not sure they completely justified the wait. If you can come during off-peak hours, I think you'll enjoy it much more.

I've…read moreheard this place has one of the best katsu sando around and as a lover of Katsu, I couldn't skip it. There's some good places in SF like Cafe Okawari. But Katsu is really becoming the new hype of the day for Japanese food, following the Sushi, Ramen, Japanese Curry, Katsu trend. So I came in with a critical view. I feel like Yoshoku in general may be next but I yet again digress. The box sandwich came in a cute little box. The inside was packed so I couldn't get a chance to fully appreciate the cafe, but the service was nice though the pay line may have moved slower than hoped. I'll say this. This is "the" best katsu sando in the bay. The katsu is crispy, but little on the softer side. But this hardness matches perfectly with the absolutely tender, soft, juicy pork wrapped inside. I'm looking at the menu again and it all makes sense. The pork has been in shio koji, making the meat ever so tender while adding the subtle but complicated marinated flavor. The cabbage is plenty, but not over packed to take away from the main Katsu flavor. What really perfects it for me, was not only the sweet and savory katsu sauce, but the mayo with dash of I think a karashi mustard. That slight tingle, the perfect kick gives a powerful awakening of flavor that really sets the it apart. This is art, an artisan. Culinary art is the refuge no raging rampant AI slop "art" can ever hope to touch. Until the day we get some cyborg implant to our brain into gustatory, olfactory functions. Even then, I don't think any tasteless tech bro are hopeless to create anything unique or beautiful.

Feeling adventurous so ordered coffee from Delah for delivery. Process was quick and smooth…read more A lot of interesting latte flavors and specialties to choose from but ended up with iced Yemeni latte and rose latte as well as some milk cakes. Didn't realize the rose latte would come as a hot drink but it was still good. Opted for less sweet but was a little more sweet than expected compared to the Yemeni latte. Yemeni coffee was light and subtle with cinnamon. Milk cake was moist and not too sweet - texture reminds me of a les tres cake. Rose and saffron flavors were perfect and not too overpowering Turkish coffee is not bitter or too strong. Knowing this now, will try some of their other drinks when I'm looking for something light in the future!

It's located at the filthy corner of 4th and Clara, which made the outside smell of urine. Fortunately the cafe itself is pretty clean, which is a nice escape from the street. I ordered an Americano and my friend got one of their $8+ lattes, which were fine, but nothing special. My biggest gripe was the service and absolute scorn of the customer. My friend and I sat at the counter basically in a staring contest with the woman behind the counter, who just stared right back. After some 30 seconds, we finally flagging her down to place our order. After turning around the drinks suspiciously quickly, my friend and I sat down to catch-up in the empty cafe. Before long, the barista pumps up the volume, increasing higher and higher every 5 minutes or so, as if to signal to us that our time was up. I asked her to turn down the volume, which she tuned down from an 11 to a 7, but minutes later it continued to creep up, like the snooze setting of an alarm clock coaxing you to wake up - except in this case, to get out. Ultimately, the volume got unbearable and we finally threw in the towel and got out of there to let the barista enjoy her music. Definitely never going back there - they clearly don't want the business. Food: 5/10 Service: 0/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 4/10
