Exterior of Melo's shop.  He's only been there for 10 months.  Hope he's here for a long while!
Amy C.

Saturday, 9-27-2025: We were craving these sandwiches after our grandson's soccer game. When we entered it was in a little disarray as there was a very bright, expansive mural in the progress of being painted. Staff were welcoming & friendly. Unfortunately, no Gabriel. We ordered our usual faves: Little Melo Sandwich & Tuna Salad Sandwich. It was served rather quickly for which we were grateful because we were starving. As before, sandwiches were scrumptious, the bread was to die for! We really enjoyed it very much! Their ice cream is so good. Great dining experience. We're fans.

Very friendly and helpful employees, generous samples, and limited, but comfortable seating inside. The shop is cute, and relaxing. They have lots of fun ice cream flavors! I had the mint, and it was so good! My husband and kids enjoyed their ice cream too. They also have sandwiches, which we will have to come back and try!

Food is always 10/10 come here almost everyday lol. always come here after the gym. Good macros and always good food.

Club
Amy B.

Great sandwich shop. My husband and I ordered the club and we both loved it. Next time I would ask for mustard as well. My daughter ordered the Italian sub and loved hers as well. So much better than all the chain sandwich shops and it is great supporting a smaller business. Try it out you won't be dissapointed.

I LOVE MELOS!!! So I live in San Diego but I come over here craving these sandwiches. For real the best sandwiches ever! And the ice cream is supper good and unique Turns out that each time we've come in, we've actually been helped out by the owner Melo himself! He's extremely kind and you can see the love he has for his business and each costumer. This place is fun too! It has spots to take pictures and my favorite, a chalk board where you can just draw what ever. Plus there a tv that plays bmx and other interesting sports and the music is always good. The perfect spot for a family hang out or a cute date. Don't let the prices fool you. They do have limited staff as a small business, however, the wait (and price) is WORTH IT!!!

Birria Panini on jalepeno cheese bread with provolone cheese, onions and cilantro. $13 This sandwich was excellent.

They no longer have the Birria sandwich. Still a cute place, great employees but a little overpriced for the size you get.

I had the Big Melo & my boyfriend had The Roast. Both were absolutely delicious. "This is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life!" = direct quote from my boyfriend Then we had an awesome waffle with ice cream. Melo is friendly, welcoming & genuine. Definitely check out this place in Temecula!

Spectacular food and service at this lovely little shop. It feels like you're in a small town on an island rather than in Southern California. Sandwiches made with care and quality ingredients. Ice cream is also very good. Very nice and helpful staff. Will return.

Melo was amazing at customer service and his sandwiches were delicious. I wish I could say that was the best part but I would be lying. The ice cream here is from a different planet. I've tried MANY different ice creams in America from MA to CA and this is the absolute best. Support a young man working hard to make something of himself. Doesn't hurt that you might become addicted to his food and ice cream

The Gusto
Benita J.

Our sandwiches were AMAZING! We would definitely recommend go there to try it out! We devoured our sandwiches (the Gusto and the Roast)! We would go there again in a heartbeat and tryout other sandwiches! The bread was amazing as well. Next time I will try out the cheese and jalapeño bread! We were also given ice cream samples their cheesecake and salted caramel-those too were fantastic! Service was phenomenal! The chalk board was a fun interactive thing that my son loved!

All the creamy flavors are usually so amazing and the unique flavors like the cucumber or the mango are just so refreshing. The owner is always working super hard and is super friendly and generous and offers samples for any flavor you like. Every time we come in he always just gives us samples when we are browsing the flavors without us asking for samples, so nice and hospitable! He truly is passionate about what he does and it shows in his craft! This time we finally tried the chimney cone, my goodness amazing! Very crispy yet soft and fluffy on the inside. We enjoyed dipping pieces of the pastry into our gelato for an elevated experience. We got the cinnamon sugar flavor and wow we will definitely be getting it everytime. Big enough for 2 people to share. Always such a pleasure coming here and we always bring people to this place, convenient seating with options inside and outside, always a great and social ambiance.

The cool paintings on the walls, the awesome decorations, and all the little details give it so much character. Honestly, it's just a fun place to visit. It has that old-time charm that makes you want to slow down, look around, grab a little something sweet, and enjoy the moment. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

We waited another 50 mins before I asked for an update after waiting for more than 80 mins, Cas came out of the kitchen and snapped at me saying "what's the problem here?" So I said "well I'm just asking for a status of my order." First of all, I wasn't even talking to Cas and she didn't even know what was going on before she took it upon herself to yell at me. Kila, which was the person I was talking to originally was extremely friendly. She apologized for the delay and even offered us some pastry which we did not care for after Cas inserted herself into a conversation that had nothing to do with her. It's ironic how as a paying customer, I was using a polite voice to ask for status and got snapped at by an employee. Got our refund and took our business elsewhere. There are plenty of options here in old town Temecula.

Inside, the ambiance reminds me of Nor Cal - SF with a cool neighborhood restaurant where the surrounding area melts away. It's classy yet unpretentious. We took my Yelp friend Lori out for her birthday and we all chose the price fixe meal. The entrance can be confusing only because the front door jams shut and one has to go through the back of the restaurant. You get 4 course plus a bread course and amuse bouche. Let's pause for the bread course. This bite sized piece of heaven is otherworldly. They need to serve more of it throughout the meal. The chef's starter was lovely and then we settled into our meal. It will be European style service so definitely let them know if you need to hit a show or movie. From the four courses we tried a bit of everything: Beef tartar (wonderful and innovative version of this dish), foraged mushrooms, charred cabbage, beet passionfruit salad, filet mignon, duck confit, and the only dessert that matters: charred butter cake. All were stellar!! Not a miss on the menu and all at 5 star quality. We also had tea and a cocktail, again both were outstanding. The service needs refinement though. It's a step below Michelin level fine dining indeed. I brought two bottles of wine, corkage $25 each, and never once was our glasses filled. I filled up everyone's glasses all night. This was irritating as not only did I pay corkage, but they added $10 tip to corkage with automatic 20% tip at end. The server did not deserve that extra $10 although she was lovely throughout the meal except for one more misstep. After the main meal was over, I wanted to have some more of that wondrous bread and was told the kitchen was closed. We were never warned about this. Every restaurant tells the guests at least 15 minutes before the kitchen closes. Other than those minor mistakes, this was a fine dining meal not found anywhere else in this part of S Cal/Riverside County. Highly recommended!!

The owner was delightful as was the chef. We had Oyster, followed by a stone fruit salad I was worried about until I took one bite and ate every bit of it. The next course was duck confit followed by filet mignon then dessert. I usually have pictures for my reviews, but I was so thoroughly enjoying my food I plum forgot to take a picture. Every good and wine pairing was perfect. To be fair I passed this place a few times, but never really knew they served food because of the name. You need this food in your life. My husband and I will be back.
